stacking these artists' renditions of the view from the foot of an elevated hospital bed isn't bad, said fred. they are so stackable and sturdy. i don't mind building columns out of them. you can build them right up in columns. then they are so strong you can lay a bridge across them.

if those are artists' renditions, said murray, then are they art? even though we're standing on them? is it like being in an art gallery, here at your stacking site?

fred didn't know what to say. he'd never asked why he was stacking these two-dimensional renditions of the view from the foot of an elevated hospital bed. he'd especially never thought of what they were for.

i guess i like that we can stand on them, said murray.

the angular darkness that had been slowly approaching from below soon engulfed the men wholly.
