Scope and Contents
Words and images printed in phosphorescent ink glow in the dark with the ultraviolet lamp. The story relates to the falling of the sky from hydrocarbon to waste. The earth is burned and most of the people channel up through the jagged holes. Bucko, a dyslexic nomad, one of the few people left, comes out at night and collects part of the sky. He hopes to recreate what once was. The pages spiral out. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
