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