To say that I missed this city would be something of an exaggeration; I can say with all honesty that people de-aging into small children, demons and velociraptors chasing me through the streets, mysterious parties in absurd haunted mansions, and weird mental influences that even extend through computer networks are all irritations I could safely do without.

On occasion, however, the 'real world' presents dilemmas equally as ridiculous that I feel an even more urgent need to avoid.  In any case, in between over-dramatic events posing excessive risk to life and limb, Desai definitely seems like the kind of quiet vacation spot where I could rest, far outside the influence of certain problems.  The positive side to reality-spanning crises is that they seem to be firmly anchored in one reality.

Ah...  No-one here has ever heard of 'closed space,' have they?  Because if so, I may as well cut my holiday short.
