+This sat alone on a blank notecard in Paul's typewriter.  He stared at it,
+sipping at his too-hot coffee.  This made sense to him.
+
+He looked at the spot on the wall where he wanted a window to be, at the rough
+planks above his desk as they were lit by the bare hanging lightbulb.  He
+sipped his coffee again.  It was still too hot.  His Woodworking Shack was
+becoming full of wood that was not furniture.  He feared it would never become
+so.
+
+He threw open the door to the snow and the ground below it.  He reached for
+his axe on the wall.  He reconsidered.  He took a few tentative steps onto the
+blankness on his own.  He wasn't cold, not yet.  He walked into the forest.
+The snow crunched under his feet and did not echo.
