"I keep going, staring
into the abyss, and wonder if there's some halfway point out in the Pacific,
perhaps the same spot they say the international date line is, where a wall like this,
only thousands of feet deeper, divides the earth into two distinct pieces, I wonder if
anyone has ever tried to pull herself down to see if there's a doorway there,
somewhere, and I want to know if anyone has ever really gotten
to the bottom of anything in this world without dying."
-Liza Porter, from "The Wall"
