Light passes through a tunnel on its way to
somewhere. Light is going to the
airport. Light is on a train. That train is
going to the airport. At the
airport, light boards a plane on its way to
somewhere. The plane is going to
Philadelphia and light is on it.
Philadelphia is dark when light arrives,
because it is eleven o'clock at night. Light
goes to a motel near the
airport and waits for morning. Light is a
morning person. Light will feel
good and full of possibility in the morning.
Light dreams of all its bright
tomorrows while it sleeps. Someone breaks
into light's motel room and
murders light with a candlestick.
In the morning the sun doesn't rise. By nine
o'clock, everyone in
Philadelphia is terribly frightened. You and
I are in my old bedroom at my
parent's house. People are running around
screaming about the End Times.
We're playing Clue on my old Macintosh and
you're about to guess that it was
Colonel Mustard in the library with the
revolver, but actually, it was Mrs.
Peacock and the noose.
