Bekah, I'm not taking away your bread, I swear! It's just on the spur of the
moment and related to the discussion we've been having.
Not sure if this was mentioned. We've been discussing various portals as
well as the identity of the city destroyed by the figure. Here it seems to
me we have an indication that the destruction took place in another
dimension and that the city is NYC:
'Through the miles of coalsmoke and salt haze, Kit could make out a few
semivisible towers of the city of New York, descended upon by radial shafts
of late sunlight from behind and among clouds that seemed almost their own
heavenly prototypes, what photographers called a "two-minute sky," destined
rapidly to cloud over and maybe even start dropping some rain. "When I came
up here by myself, it was to look at the cityI thought there had to be some
portal into another world. . . . '
