In a world where gravity is a non-binding proposition and the sky shimmers in layers of lavender and neon pink, a DJ plays beats that only the flamingos can understand. Meanwhile, McManus lifts weights in underwater strength training and wonders if his glasses have the wrong number of diopters.
“Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.” 1
murmurs his glasses philosophically, complacently looking at itself in a mirror.
While reality ripples like old vinyl, news flickers on a screen hanging upside down from a cloud: “The latest revelations show what has long been known - the boom in TV series has passed its zenith.”
A layer of silence falls over the scene as a parrot with a watch chain around its neck flies past and announces: “Time is a flat top!” Who can say whether tomorrow isn’t yesterday or today is just an echo of tomorrow?
