““I slept for a week. I awoke numbed and looked out at the state things. Things moved, had dimension, made sounds, slid right up to the surface, but could not poke through. Nothing was felt anymore, or known through the sense portals, despite the fact that every part of the body was designed for contact. Either the world, usually so flagrant, was camouflaged, or my surfaces were deteriorating. In any case, it was hidden.””
