what happened inside

  1. 00:14entered a staircase.
  2. 00:58touched every surface it could reach.
  3. 02:05something here was reused from an earlier world.
  4. 03:08same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

stairs going up produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

WORLD 093: a window to look through

still inside

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