Skewed

_Before I knew that it was scientifically impossible_...

_Before Roland Emmerich pretty much did this kind of thing to death in his flicks_...

_Before Foo Fighters did it in their video for_ *_DOA_*...

When I was younger, I always imagined what it would be like if the world went sideways. _Literally_ sideways. I didn't put much thought into why it might happen, because how many times have you seen a film where the explanation for something impossible was quite _meh_-ish? (e.g. _The Happening_.) But it was the _visual_ of my imagining that mattered the most.

Picture it: You're walking along one day, when suddenly everything starts capsizing. Everyone slides down the pavement like it's the _Titanic_. Cars roll down increasingly vertical roads. Roofs of buildings smack into birds. Planes fall right past you. Entire skyscrapers break off from their foundations and tumble towards you.

Where would you hide? _How_ would you hide?

This idea haunted me for years... ...and oh, wait, it indeed _still_ haunts me!
