Chapter 8 Inside the Tekalloin [ArtSpace]

[TEKALKOIN HALL] Crawled through the door because I didn't want open the Tourist door and awaken the sleeping guard, There's another one snoring peacefully at the end of the hall.

So smooth & cool in here.
Some things rearranging themselves in the corner.

Right; "Thetor Returned"
an ancient painting of the Cicutan hero,.

Pass your mouse over it
(or turn on your MIN's VariSpectra)
to get an idea of how
it apears to Cicutans--
who can see colors
in the UV range that
humans cannot.

Finally, after wandering a bit, I have reached the last room, the largest. It contains only one huge piece—The Great Sculpture.
It is extraordinary. The sound it makes is amazing.
The sign says that it has made the cycle 300 times.

I bet they would like our Old Master, Theodore Geisel. I say out loud to MIN.
   The Guard who has just awakened, is excited. “You know Theodore Geisel! We have a genuine, ancient book of his.”
He takes me to a small room with a worn Dr. Seuss book displayed like the Guttenberg Bible.
“Who’d believe?”

As I leave the room, I hear the packers coming.
