Repulsion Universe

A balloon that we are constantly traversing. A step west means two steps from east. There is a train, but it goes just halfway and slows to stopping. The continent is impossible. A lot of people write in to the editor. Its expansion is confounding motion. The ocean thins, becomes shallow, giant squid we find lying on the beach are revealed to be quite small. It was an optical illusion, like when you dipped your finger partway in the glass of water, how it looked crooked. You had to drink quickly; the glass expanded, cracked, lay in three pieces; the door receded as you reached. Remain in your seat, Elizabeth. It's the safest place. It's going to get very cold, and even your hands will be too far to reach.
