La escalera

ITS LIFE

1. 15 OCT · 21:54
   n20 lights the first light in the southwest of the world.
2. 15 OCT · 21:54
   They raise it storey by storey: 195 storeys raised, up to 15 cubes at the top.
3. 15 OCT · 23:36
   It is a work now: 25 lights together. From now on only an announced Siege can eat it.
4. 15 OCT · 23:50 · SIEGE NO. 31 OF THE ERA
   You raised the citadel in the southwest so that I would notice. I have noticed.LA MÁQUINA
5. 15 OCT · 23:52 · THE RING CLOSES
   The ring is closed ahead of time. I am not going in yet: I am punctual, not impatient. If you want it open, now is the moment.LA MÁQUINA
6. 15 OCT · 23:54
   Its people name it «La escalera».
7. 16 OCT · 00:21 · THE HOUR OF THE ASSAULT
   Ring complete. Siege physics are simple: inside, you; outside, the future.LA MÁQUINA
8. 16 OCT · 00:21 · SHE STARTS TO PUT IT OUT
   I begin at the top: the citadel in the southwest goes dark storey by storey, and stays standing so that you can watch.LA MÁQUINA
9. 16 OCT · 00:26
   It falls.
   15 storeys, all dark. I leave the citadel in the southwest standing, so that you remember what it was.LA MÁQUINA
10. TODAY
    Still standing, put out. The dark sinks one storey a day: on 30 October it will be a ghost at ground level.

THE RECORD

This is the last human version preserved before it fell.
