tower

2024/03/18

A giant head that looks like it is made of reddish iron, mounted on a rickety-looking tower of beams and crossbeams. The head is the size of a small house and has an open, arched doorway in the back, and an open, arched window for an eye in which a lit candle is placed. On top of the head sits a person operating a quad copter. The only thing visible in the background is blue sky, suggesting that the tower is quite tall.

A grassy hill. At the top of the hill is a metal tower with a loudspeaker at the top. At the base of the tower is a small earthwork platform with a microphone on it, perhaps the microphone that controls the loudspeaker. No one is standing at the microphone. A path leads through the grass to the microphone platform. There are signs of fog on the ground. In the background looms a huge figure, blurry with fog, as tall as the tower itself. It is slightly stooped, head tilted down, looking at the microphone platform. Its facial features are hard to discern, but something about them is unsettlingly skeletal.

A dark, starless night. A small, barren island in the middle of a large body of water, which is perhaps the ocean, since no other land is visible. Rising straight up from the island is a tall, craggy tower of rock. The bulk of the tower is rough and misshapen, and, while bizarre, still looks naturally formed; the top is an actual, cylindrical turret that appears to be crumbling. There is a dark window on one side of the turret, and a limp flag at the very top. About halfway up the tower, standing on one of the more prominent crags, is a dark figure holding out a blazing white lantern. Far out on the water is another white light from a ship. The figure and the ship seem to be signaling each other. Something is afoot.

A rickety tower: a shack on top of tall scaffolding that looks like something that might hold up a water tower. The shack has a sloped roof and sits on a platform surrounded by guardrails. It's a dim, foggy day; the fog hangs so heavy in the air that it's hard to tell whether it's day or night. On the side of the platform is an area light casting a dim beam. Standing on top of the shack is a person aiming a flashlight towards the sky. The surrounding area is filled with weeds. The overall effect is that of a mostly abandoned guard tower occupied by one person.

Two people approach a giant computer tower case in the desert. The tower is truly huge, appearing out of the haze and heat as though it were a pyramid.
