+The moon is gone and in its place a mirror.  Looking 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.  He believes that he is [alone][], surrounded by desert and mountain, but
+behind him---he now sees it---someone is sneaking up on him.  He spins around
+fast, but no one is there on [Earth][].  He looks back up and they are yet
+closer in the night sky.  Again he looks over his shoulder but there is
+nothing, not even a desert mouse.  As he looks up again he realizes it's
+a cloud above him, which due to optics has looked like someone else.  The
+cloud blocks out the moon which is now a mirror, and the viewer is
+completely alone.
