Feet : Forwards

As I walked, the bee-tv showed me the sites of past, or future explosions.

	Jacob's feet again traveling through this desert. Step by step, frame by frame, careful all the time not to step on the crack between the frames. Jacob has a pretty simple method for keeping track of the number of steps he takes (as a safety precaution, so he can find his way back if he has to). One to Ten, he uses his fingers to do that. After the first Ten, he closes his right eye, and counts to Ten again. Then he closes his right eye. For Forty, he touches his tongue to the room of his mouth, and closes his left eye. Using such ticks, he figures he can count to a million (hopping on one foot, both eyes closed, elbows at his sides, tongue touching his back molar, etc).

To the Desert:

Returning to earth, Jacob realizes it is time to walk alone into the desert, in order to join the weapons that seem to everyone else to be dying there, but which Jacob now understands are in constant transit to the moon and back. The weapons are calling him, asking that he join them permanently in their travels. Following this beckoning urge, Jacob begins a terminal wander into the desert. The bee-tv inside him shows an endless variety of weapon-events in the air around him, in temporal layers that lie transparently one on the other.
