The three of us watched the horizon dissolve, each from our own position, as what we understood as the firm boundaries that define reality - sky and ground, us and them, meaning and nonsense - were rearranged before our very eyes. All that held up the sky - meaning, rules, words, that thin sliver of code that separates heaven from earth - was tilled into the dirt, and a false night flooded our spaces as we were ordered to abandon all we had come to know and cherish with the exception of one another. We lost. Not everything, but a lot.
