I will not use profanities but your Gosh Darn Awful postman never delivers anything to me. Tell him to get his lazy posterior over here with your next package. I need it more than you. You must at this stage only have narrow walkways to squeeze through. I can see the obituary now. Noted collector crushed to death by art.

I like that it combines the science fiction with sinbad styled adventure. The glow under the main confrontation is amazing!
