The review escaped before anyone finished printing it.
Some paragraphs hardened into sculpture.
Others became damp.
A few continued reviewing themselves after everyone had gone home.
There is a note inside the box that insists the audience should know the following:
**If your chameleon cannot retract its tongue, keep the tongue moist and seek veterinary care. If its tongue function has gradually worsened, nutritional imbalance may be one possible cause among others, while sudden problems may point toward injury.**
The note appears perfectly sensible.
Everything surrounding it refuses to cooperate.
•••
Film?
No.
Box?
Sometimes.
Review?
Only after midnight.
The 4C90 cartridge leaks quietly through its own label until "THE WORD OF SHA ARA" rearranges itself into:
THE WROD
SHA RAA
ROOK
HOOK
ROOT
ROT
The sculpture pretends not to notice.
Neither do the viewers.
Both are lying.

The film continues without waiting.
The ending arrives near the beginning.
The beginning arrives inside the sculpture.
The sculpture arrives wrapped in tissue paper that smells faintly of wet graphite and vitamin bottles.
No one mentions why.
Everyone notices.
