ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF A SPACE FORGOTTEN
They seek the central point of the picture. They enter the picture through a room with three walls of green stripes. They are in a hurry. They rush through a room with two walls of grey stripes. They have no time to notice. They run through a third room with just one wall of blue stripes. They feel time is running out. They enter a room with no walls of stripes, just a floor of orange stripes. They exit the picture, disappointed. They roamed the general picture, but did not find a door to its central point.
