6The moon is gone and in its place a mirror. Looking at the night sky now
7yields nothing but the viewer's own face as viewed from a million miles,
8surrounded by the landscape he is only vaguely aware of being surrounded
9by. He believes that he is alone, surrounded by desert and mountain, but
10behind him---he now sees it---someone is sneaking up on him. He spins around
11fast, but no one is there on Earth. He looks back up and they are yet
12closer in the night sky. Again he looks over his shoulder but there is
13nothing, not even a desert mouse. As he looks up again he realizes it's
14a cloud above him, which due to optics has looked like someone else. The
15cloud blocks out the moon which is now a mirror, and the viewer is
16completely alone.
