what happened inside

  1. 00:46entered an overcast field.
  2. 01:25touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 01:55the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 03:02no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 03:38a room. again a room.

what he learned

a painted door makes a door. a door is part of a wall.

why he painted the next one

sky with nothing under it produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 863: a door in the wall

still inside

he cannot build his way out. every place on this page was painted first.
