fantasy

ladder?

i’ve always fantasized about what it would be like to be robinson crusoe. seeing this photograph of a “halley VI” module in the latest entry of momus’s click opera—“dream away an elastic day over siberia”—captured my imagination in exactly the same way. extreme solitude fascinates me.

many years from now, when i’m too old, too cranky, and too tired to put up with society, i’ll buy one of those modules and have it and me shipped to antartica. i’ll live in it for as long as i can stand it, and then one day i’ll open the door and let myself freeze to death.
