They
floated
in
the
center
of
a
perfectly
square
room
,
walls
and
ceiling
paneled
in
rectangular
sections
of
dark
wood
.
The
floor
was
covered
by
a
single
square
of
brilliant
carpet
patterned
after
a
microchip
,
circuits
traced
in
blue
and
scarlet
wool
.
In
the
exact
center
of
the
room
,
aligned
precisely
with
the
carpet
pattern
,
stood
a
square
pedestal
of
frosted
white
glass

a
body
grown
in
upon
itself
,
a
Gothic
folly
.
Each
space
in
Straylight
is
in
some
way
secret
,
this
endless
series
of
chambers
linked
by
passages
,
by
stairwells
vaulted
like
intestines
,
where
the
eye
is
trapped
in
narrow
curves
,
carried
past
ornate
screens
,
empty
alcoves

The
architects
of
Freeside
went
to
great
pains
to
conceal
the
fact
that
the
interior
of
the
spindle
is
arranged
with
the
banal
precision
of
furniture
in
a
hotel
room
.
In
Straylight
,
the
hull
’
s
inner
surface
is
overgrown
with
a
desperate
proliferation
of
structures
,
forms
flowing
,
interlocking
,
rising
toward
a
solid
core
of
microcircuitry
,
our
clan
’
s
corporate
heart
,
a
cylinder
of
silicon
wormholed
with
narrow
maintenance
tunnels
,
some
no
wider
than
a
man
’
s
hand
.
The
bright
crabs
burrow
there
,
the
drones
,
alert
for
micromechanical
decay
or
sabotage

By
the
standards

archipelago

’
the
head
continued
,
'
ours
is
an
old
family
,
the
convolutions
of
our
home
reflecting
that
age
.
But
reflecting
something
else
as
well
.
The
semiotics
of
the
Villa
bespeak
a
turning
in
,
a
denial
of
the
bright
void
beyond
the
hull
.

Tessier
and
Ashpool
climbed
the
well
of
gravity
to
discover
that
they
loathed
space
.
They
built
Freeside
to
tap
the
wealth
of
the
new
islands
,
grew
rich
and
eccentric
,
and
began
the
construction
of
an
extended
body
in
Straylight
.
We
have
sealed
ourselves
away
behind
our
money
,
growing
inward
,
generating
a
seamless
universe
of
self
.

The
Villa
Straylight
