On each page, the reader sees the characters becoming aware of their impending death. Behaviors start to change, in an increasingly frantic atmosphere. The lake changes, comes to a standstill. People take fright, run away. The cavalry is called in, electricity is cut off. The train network is immobilized. The inn and bank are robbed, arson attacks multiply, orgies and murder become commonplace. The men form \u201crepublics\u201d which they guard with their rifles, letting no one into their villages. Inhabitants and animals die of heat, disease spreads, glaciers melt and mountains fall. Chaos and panic build to a crescendo until the final, inevitable outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>And, indeed, they see nothing.
