der Mond 02:11
Jamie walks to the Moon. This being quite a distance, she lies down to sleep upon arrival. From below, a boy grows angry at her for blocking his view of the wonderful moon. She jumps off to rectify this issue, but this course of action only irks the boy more. "You grow larger and larger as you rocket towards the surface of the earth!" he yells, "The farther from the moon you are, the more of it I cannot see! When you finally land on me, I will be crushed!"

After seeing the grisly remains of Jamie spread-eagle on top of the boy on top of her car, Mädchen ponders over how she can continue to live her life. She feels as if a weight has been dropped upon her. If one were to continue with this metaphor, they might say that her life was like the water in a garden hose, and that this weight had blocked it from reaching the lawn. Mädchen questions every decision she has ever made. The sun is very bright. She thinks and rethinks every action that she might consider taking. Because of this, she has not moved in fourteen hours. How could she after such a life altering event? There is still fragments of shattered glass all around her feet, both metaphorically and actually. Also, her car is broken and she has no money for a cab.

der Himmel 01:55
After much thought, and the help of a kind stranger, Mädchen returns home. It is very late. Her live-in boyfriend is asleep on the couch. Suddenly, and without reason, three large books fall out of the sky and onto him. He mumbles, but does not awake. Finding no other option, Mädchen assume that she dropped the books on his back ans wonders just what the fuck her problem is. She then decides that she much be having relationship problems with her cunt of a boyfriend. There is no other explanation. She determines this to be the fault of her erratic sleep schedule, like many other things, and calmly goes to bed. Mädchen's sleep is filled with terror dreams of throwing shoes. She sees stars come unhinged from space and rotate around the planet earth. Jamie grabs her by the palm of her hand and flies her around the cosmos, whispering sweet nothings into her ear. It is still daytime, mind you. They travel above the thirteen planets of the outer realm (east), past the red sand shores of Xo and the line dance academies on South Elflei. Mädchen is awoken by a sudden fear of her own mortality.

die Sternen 01:20
Mädchen looks up at the night sky. She jumps out the second story window of her apartment, inexplicably waking her boyfriend, who then runs out the front door and the stairs after her. She considers changing her name.
