On the face of a cenotaph a tile quivers—delicately but ominously, as if an earthquake were approaching. It quivers again, rocking back and forth more perceptibly, soon escalating into a spasmodic motion. Suddenly, the tile falls, plunging swiftly downwards and shattering out of existence as it hits the ground. And along with the tile, a letter of the alphabet disappears forever.
