“And its is easy to slip into parallel universe. There are so many of them: worlds of the insane, the criminal, the crippled, the dying, perhaps of the dead as well. These worlds exist alongside this world and resemble it, but are not in it.
Another odd feature of the parallel universe is that altough it is invisible from this side, once you are in it you can easily see the world you came from. Sometimes the world you came from looks huge and menacing, quivering like a vast pile of jelly, at other times it is miniaturised and alluring, a-spin and shining in its orbit. Either way, it can’t be discounted. Every window of Alcatraz has a view of San Francisco.”
