On the other side of the world

What if the world was flat and the downside was peopled by inverted humans seeking pleasure in such strange things as model railroads going backwards, on wide tracks surrounded by big modern houses nicely buffed and shining in an artificial sun - what if?

In such a world there could surely be a big cold storage capable of handling frozen fish, vegetables and meats, but no one would ever use it. There would also be a small door and window in the little office (with windows in great need of a hosing) where the boss, A. Larsson would reside in a cloud of Cortez-cigarettes behind his dark heavy oak table. Green is the colour of the doors and the leather furnishing on the office chair, green the faces of the visitors not accostumed to the thick smoke inside!


Possibly there will come a time and a place for this nice little railway building, perhaps close to the sea and with a siding or two enabling the little people in knickers and hat loading and unloading goods on the railway - who knows?
