The event is titled "Five Rooms," and the idea is to bring literature a little closer to the audience in a different way. I don't stand on stage and lecture from above; instead, we experience a book together. And when I say "experience," I mean "experiencing" with our various senses, not just with our ears. The book we'll be experiencing together is my short story, "Nimmerleinstage." In the story, we follow a man for seven days as he wanders the streets of Brussels. And we'll experience this walk through Brussels tonight as a walk through this wonderful Brussels house. I'd love to tell you more about the house later, but we have to go now.

Today I'll be reading from my book *Nimmerleinstage*, and to understand what it's about, it's best to start with the first chapter. Let's begin with the story. In this case, our story begins with an ending. The end of the world
