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