The amber illumination of the antechamber spills through glass doors which lead further into the complex; the glass of each is marked with translucent yellow letters: "OOM", and the subtitle, "Of Our Maker"; the tinted shadows of these letters stretch out weirdly on the floor, pointing into the great shadow beyond.

The amber illumination of the antechamber spills several yards into the unlighted space past glass doors which lead further into the complex; the glass of each is marked with translucent yellow letters: "OOM", and the subtitle, "Of Our Maker"; the tinted shadows of these letters stretch out weirdly on the floor beyond, pointing into the obscured expanse.
Set in that obscurity there is something large and vaguely lit.

[[Come out|The Antechamber]] of the closet.The echoes lose themselves and wander back randomly in this place.
Imposing glass doors lead back to [[the antechamber|The Antechamber]] to the north.
To the south, the wedge of light from the doors fades away into acres of darkness like the voids between realities.
Submerged in this is something large, [[distant,|The Elephants' Big Top entrance]] and undefined.
Light from an unseen source illumines a dozens of yards of a tent's canvass to the east, yet does not reveal the top or side - it slopes up and curves back into the darkness. The flap is drawn back, and sparse particles dance slowly in the light in front of [[the dim interior.|Exhibit I in The Elephants' Big Top]]
Beside the entrance is a sign taller than you, which reads,
!!The Elephants' Big Top.
To the north the doors to [[the antechamber|The Antechamber]] are like an amber rectangular planet alone in an otherwise starless portion of space.!!Exhibit I
(You can leave the Big Top to [[the west.|The Elephants' Big Top entrance]])
!!!Alice in Wonderland
Though not so intensely strange as other things we will encounter, it stands as a classic icon of strangeness for it's own sake.
It has many strange tributes:
