The Echelon is part of a four-building complex of office buildings set in small office park near the intersection of two busy Austin highways. The exterior of the buildings are flat, black glass that just before the crash reflected clear, blue winter skies. "It sure was hauling.

Philip is older, eccentric and miserly, and he's less interested in Flora than in a bizarre experiment he's conducting on himself. As he feels his aging flesh deteriorating, he develops the habit of entering a trance wherein he pictures his body and then mentally erases portions of it; he begins with his toes, which instantly become numb. By this means, he imagines that he is bringing about...
