The story takes place in an unknown space. Narration begins.

 

NARRATOR

 

No one has been here before. Dog is the first visitor. His keen sense of smell and feel for his environment almost feel like a curse in a moment like this.

The clean empty space both fascinates and intimidates him.

 

DOG

 

What’s this?

 

NARRATOR

 

A floating staircase looms in the middle of the room. Anti-gravity is a phenomenon unknown to Dog and thus his paws are still firmly placed on the ground.

 

Dog stares at the staircase in confusion.
