Description summary:
Stage | Description |
---|---|
600 | A silver gate leads to the Garden's Heart. […]
The Manager sits at a trellis table on a patio of grey stone. He smiles at you, and welcomes you as if you were an old friend, come for a pleasant visit. But you know better. |
610 | The Manager produces the Marvellous from a pocket. He thumbs the cards, his eyes intent. His buttons shine. "We're ready," he says. |
620 | The Garden's hedges and fences fall away […] Nothing-After-Death approaches the table, its eyes full of absences. […] The Manager's smile is fixed in place, now, a desperate rictus. His breath is shallow and rapid. |
