25The moon is gone and in its place a mirror.
26Looking at the night sky now yields nothing but the viewer's own face as viewed from a million miles, surrounded by the landscape he is only vaguely aware of being surrounded by.
27He believes that he is [alone][], surrounded by desert and mountain, but behind him---he now sees it---someone is sneaking up on him.
28He spins around fast, but no one is there on [Earth][].
29He looks back up and they are yet closer in the night sky.
30Again he looks over his shoulder but there is nothing, not even a desert mouse.
31As he looks up again he realizes it's a cloud above him, which due to optics has looked like someone else.
32The cloud blocks out the moon which is now a mirror, and the viewer is completely alone.
