On the surface, this is a pretty simple story. An unhappy guy with a girlfriend he doesn't like and a swirling vortex he keeps hidden behind the bookcase. You have to ask yourself, though, is that what the story's really about? What is the guy really contemplating, and what really happened? You should probably jump to find out except the story will just leave you with those questions to work out on your own.
This is a short story featuring an unhappy man with something amazing in his home...a vortex behind his bookshelf. The storyline is strange, but it makes the reader think.
