The Cubes

Have you seen the movie The Cube? If you didn’t, it is about a bunch of people trapped in a cube-like construction made of cubical rooms and square doors. The trick was that the rooms would move, and some had various deadly traps. Hard to escape.

Anyway, The Cubes and The Edges are apartment buildings in the Sandyford area where the shuttle from Darse’s office comes. It is in the same area as the Beacon hotel so we started to look for an apartment there first. We walked around to see how it feels, and I wasn’t very convinced that the place is hospitable to life. There were enough pluses (close to stores, LUAS (LRT), work shuttle, and all brand new) to at least have a look at the inside. Well, I think the architect who designed those apartments hates humans. He might be looking toward the future when those apartments will be inhabited by cyborgs. Even Darse’s worst-case scenario of hard, cold surfaces was surpassed.

The other thing is that you could get lost so easily. The buildings were all the same, and because of the surrounding construction sites the paths were sometimes closed. Many times we found ourselves in with no known way to get out. We were joking about the movie when we were wondering what The Cubes would be like, but it turned out to be no joke!
