Conversation · Pile of Eternite

An inconspicuous pile of the roofing material, eternite.

[Leave.]

Why am I looking at this pile of the roofing material?

Because there's a secret door hidden behind the panels of eternite. That's why they're too orderly.

Pull the panels aside.

There it is! You see a shabby little door.

"What is this, then? A tool shed?" He peeks inside. "Let's investigate."

Because it's nice and orderly. Well laid pallet. Easy on the eyes.

It reveals no secrets at this time.

Rhythmic pattern -- calms your mind. Mammals like this stuff.

No, there's more to this. You get this strange feeling.

What feeling?

Hard to say, it's gone now. Feelings pass, you see. Especially the small ones.

Discard the feeling.

What is this?

It's nothing. Someone just left some roofing material slanted against an old shack.

Glad you asked. When junior researcher Õlari Taal invented eternite in the Värtna Polytechnic Institute, some thirty odd years ago, he thought it would last forever -- hence the name eternite. Sadly the only lasting thing turned out to be the material's highly carcinogenic effect.
