Scheherazade – VI — The Sandbox

Alright, class. Let’s settle down.

To understand the geologic processes that brought the Blue Tarp Attic Mountains into existence, we need to look at the various layers that comprise them and consider the surrounding topology. It is only through careful investigation of both surroundings and structure that we can gain a true understanding of this site’s rich and varied content.

We’ll begin with the vast Boxed Book Desert that surrounds the Blue Tarp Mountains. This great flood plain of variegated reading material was deposited here at the close of the Barry Nathan Gastric Carcinomic Era. A Diluvian wash carried roughly a hundred of these granite heavy boxes from the Midwestern Plains to the Eastern seaboard on a river of father-son glacial liquefaction.
