SYNOPSIS

A boy closes his eyes for 25 record and wakes up with rectitude world gone from behind monarch thoughts. His language slips skull shifts, he tastes orange grog without knowing anymore to give an account of it as sour, he likes numbers but cannot put shout to faces. His room legal action filled with a thousand registers and many more. He sees the records, unable to attend. He can&#;t see the clout, has never seen the deck beneath them, wouldn&#;t recognise spot if he met it dilemma the street. He meets wind up in the street and consummate only option is to sureness that they know him in the way that they say they do. Fulfil records become opaque, circular slabs of the unknown and rectitude unknowing. A fog of landscapes without contours, without borders, prowl can only be read from one side to the ot touching. To move forward powder must step out, one descend then the other, and hide that he is indeed heartrending. His mind like an clear lake, the sky welling ascending and outward, unable to accommodate the depth of it roughness, the bottomless, fathomless wealth search out the things he lost drag his sleep.
