Labyrinth
- The Pipe Room
The
walls of this room are spiky with hollow pipes horizontally sticking
right out at you. Shooting out from the pipes are strobes of light,
forming a myriad of cylindrical shafts.
Water
drips into a rusty bath. Old coppers lie as though discarded. You
feel as though you're in the bowels of an old building. Loud irregular
clanking is interspersed with the dull hum and thud of machinery.
Bright lights glare harshly out frm behind the piles of old, rusted
junk. In a dark corner, you can make out the shape of a naked figure
half-sunken into the wall as though turned to stone.
A
man enters dressed in a bathrobe and sunglasses, clutching a bottle
of beer. He shuffles about the room looking for somewhere to hang
his robe. He's filthy and bloodstained, with a neck-brace. Has he
been involved in some sort of accident? What's his story? He climbs
into the bath, which contains a few inches of cold, dirty water.
After a few minutes, he finally notices me. "Are you lost,
or something?" he demands. I retreat, none-the-wiser as to
the cause of his tragic state.
