Planet of the Future Dead
Numinous clouds of higher dimensional objects float around the head of Jacob, who stands fascinated on the lip of the ledge. The bee tv breaks and shatters into an indefinite number of pieces, all covered alternately with images of their hidden hive, and of him on the edge of the void. In the guise of the X-Shape, Jacob follows them into their world, where they are building new cities among the planets he has recently vacated.
The cities of the future dead grow among the gray patches of land Jacob saw when he first entered the cave, splitting into articulated multiples of form through the interior energy of an anticipated Vengeance, which will increase the number of their kind. He sees the general shape of their cities, and detailed planning which has created small houses for every single soul, each equipped with a variety of amenities. While pondering the toilet of one house, Jacob falls, and realizes that in the real world he has stepped from the cave ledge, and is at that moment dropping to his death.
