House of Terror
A surveyor sees a distant column and approaches it. It belongs to a factory with a high, dark ceiling and sides lit with harsh light. The column reveals broken stones, black concrete, rebar and sand. Curious, the surveyor climbs it and at a high point, sees its rarely viewed cross-section, reflecting the seldom-seen parts of the factory itself. He reaches into the column, discovering a dark, thick liquid inside.
The structure is infiltrated with toxic substances. He understands that to minimize further pollution, all he could do is to preserve the building as is. The surveyor peers down at his palms and sees an aerial view: the entirety of the building's landscape. The silhouette of the factory resembles a church, with its east-west nave and slender tower. The surveyor embraces it, like a figure in a painting, presenting the latest equipment to the pope. He recites documents: risk control area scope, groundwater monitoring reports, soil contamination risk assessment reports, and activity prohibitions in control areas.
