It was grotesque, with 4 brains on a single body. I felt that I recognized it.

	Jacob, standing far away in the cave, still looking up. Perhaps the back of his neck is supported by the collar of his helmet, so it is easy for him to walk around always looking up at the roof of the cave, where waves of hot air dance and the bees stare down with shining eyes, like the octopus in its ocean cave clacking its beak while staring through a near-human eye at the lost fish murmuring below (actually above, but the octopus can't tell the difference, and in this case the bees probably can't either. And it is nearly certain that soon Jacob won't either, as he makes the sad transition from costumed hero to lost octopus or fish).

Bland Shapes:

Having been to visit the bees in their strange habitat, Jacob expects that they will visit his body's world as well. That afternoon, a variety of blandly threatening shapes approach him with an unwanted familiarity. Jacob feels that he knows or could be these things. Wisely, he ignores them, caught up in the sense that walking will take him right to the person he is meant to surprise, while never thinking what will happen after he finishes that small task.
