Spin me a tale

[imomus]

I'm spending the day on ICE trains, getting from Berlin to Holland, then performing in the evening, wearing funny clothes and making stuff up.



I planned to give Click Opera a holiday today, but at the last minute I thought I'd post this photo and ask you, dear reader, to make stuff up yourself: a short (fifty words or so?) narrative related in some way to the picture.

I won't say anything at this stage about what the photo is, who took it, who's in it, where or why it came about. Think of it as a Rorschach onto which you can project whatever you like -- a rumination, a story about the characters, a joke, a piece of philosophising, a weather forecast, a sci-fi scenario, a haiku, a fashion report. Be creative, be kind, give me something interesting to read when my iPod crackles to life in the Dutch wifi!

A giant high-rise apartment building shaped like a cake. Every other floor is apartments, with outdoor terraces. The bottom floors are the Jungle floors, and then it gets increasingly colder and more arid the farther up it gets. Here we are closing in on the top. These people are hardly aware of the existence of ground floors, nor the people living in it. The top of the building is all arctic.
