This hypertext doesn’t contain a lineal story, because it’s not organized chronologically, so the spaces which appear are mixed. You are situated in a roof, and then the narration takes you to a changing room in Porgett’s, so I’m going to analyze spaces in general, but explaining which characters develop their actions there.

Angelo is placed at a roof. There he feels away from his family. He can see people going to Porgett’s Department Store, and above the clouds, an old man in a chair (he doesn’t know it, but that man is Hank). For Angelo, the roof is a place where he can feel free, because there he finds the sense of his life: to be a cloud’s sculptor. He finds the substance of his life, so it’s because of this that he declares that “only the clouds are solid”.

Porgett’s Department Store is an important place, because a few characters are place there and meet by chance each other. Clara finds the “defective” mirror there, at the same time that Elizabeth is buying her sequin dress. Angelo looks at Porgett’s when he is at the roof, and Doris works there (It's bad enough working for Porgett's, where you met some lunatics, I tell you [...] ). It’s a place that acts as a meeting point, although the characters aren’t aware of it.

Gifford’s office contains an special mirror: “Most men would decorate their office walls with certificates, diplomas, and photographs of their families. But there, directly opposite my chair, Gifford had hung a mirror”. There, Clara isn’t reflected, as in Porgett’s mirror, but as she recognises herself, she sees her reflection. The room looks like a place where truths can’t be hiden. Gifford gets invisible, and Clara’s problem with mirrors is obvious there.

We find Hank floating in the ceiling. This place it’s the antagonist of Doris, as she tries to move her father away of it. The same thing happens with his husband, Kevin, who’s attracted by the moon “a sweet, plump moon, a moon that was swelling, juicy, and nearly ripe. I licked my lips, tasting it. The back of my neck prickled with the sensation of brittle hair coiling to the surface of my skin” , and she also tries to move him away of it.

Rita is placed at her home. She is searching her soul. There’s no description of the house in the narration.

Elizabeth is seen by Hank while she’s on her balcony. The house is surrounded by gardens, and there’s a swimming pool. From the balcony, she looks at her husband, Gifford, who’s on the swimming pool “Then he stood oddly still, gazing at the dark water which sparkled in the light of a pale and lopsided moon”  . The moon is present at the scene, and it evokes the story of Kevin, it’s a magical element.

After this description of the places involved in the stories, it’s clear that they have a strong relation with the things that are being told. Places act like symbols, helping us to understand deeper the characters and their problems. Places are sometimes symbols of freedom, or the context of a liberating scene, as far as they act as contexts where important truths are discovered. So, as a conclusion, places are the key to improve our comprehension about the characters’ aspirations.
