Field guide No. 488
Twin oceans converge at an impossible horizon
Sea, both ways up.
A dark sea stretches to the horizon, and above it a second sea hangs upside down where the sky should be, its waves breaking downward. They meet in a bright line.
Field noteAn ocean overhead is a sky made of what should be under it. Both of them can’t be down.

Also impossible, also breaking physics
Two worlds, one ocean bridgeTwo planets with the same coastlines are one planet in two places, and one of them is thirsty.
The rain remembersReflections show what is above them. One puddle reporting noon at midnight is lying, which reflections can’t.
The other argumentA reflection that does something else is not a reflection of the people in front of it.
Wrong exit through the pool floorBelow a pool floor is earth. Sky down there means the ground is above itself.
