    As far as I can tell, the picture is entirely fictional. We never encountered such an empty vending machine, at least not so far I remember. She tells me it was an invention. Lovely no?

    The universe is crowded with descriptions of emptiness but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one this sweet.

    Sorry reading too much Harman again.
