First published 1989
Three nameless characters drift through a bleak, abstract world, bound by their inability to escape their own minds. Trapped in a cycle of repetition and despair, they grapple with the futility of their existence. As they struggle to connect and find meaning, the walls of their reality begin to crumble, leaving them to confront the abyss that lies within.
