He's in a room. He sees the floor. He sees the wall. He sees the roof. He sees the door. It's nine thirty-eight. So he goes up to the door and he finds himself in another room identical to the one before. The clock still reads nine thirty-eight. So he goes out of that room but he finds himself in a parallel room, a mirror image of the one before. He hits the floor. He hits the wall. He hits the door. He hits the door. The clock reads nine thirty-eight. He throws it at the roof. He breaks a hole. He climbs out. He sees the moon. He sees the stars. He sees the sky. The stars are small light bulbs set in a black cardboard dome. He climbs out. He sees the stars, he sees the sky. The stars are small light bulbs set in a black cardboard dome. He hits the floor. He hits the wall. He hits the roof. He hits the dome. He hits the dome. Condemned. This house. This house is. This house is. Is this house. This house. Is this house. Fill in housing form. Buy one clock. Time again. Sort housing papers. Still nine thirty-eight. Two thousand years from now it will still be ticking. He hits the floor. Wall, roof, door. The clock reads nine thirty-eight. He hits the dome. Door, wall. Space, floor. Time. He sees the moon. He sees the stars for some romantic reason. Space, dome, door, wall, clock face. Space, time, place, floor, wall, door, roof. This is one small step for mankind, one giant leap for man. Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Zero. We have lift-off. He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon, he sees the stars, he sees the sky, he sees the Earth for some romantic reason. He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon, he sees the stars, he sees the sky, he sees the Earth. Space, time, place, condensed. Space, time, place, condemned. This house is. This house is. This house is condemned. This house is. This house is. This house is condemned.
