An elliptic moment brings us to an identical moment in that living room space. Melissa had been pondering what she saw out that window, but this pause disappears. She turns to the TV on and rubs dust off the top. The dust grabs her palm, hangs there, until she brushes it to the floor. Some of it will get stuck to the bottom of Jacob's heavy shoes, and just a few particles will stay with him through the Entire Movie, from here to there.     Melissa and I were related. Hive-Maker's half sister, Ella Spiralum, was Melissa's grandmother.
