Story Summary

Every Sunday Memo's dad picks him up and takes him to where he is at work on a new wall. Not the way Memo wants to spend his Sunday, but he soon begins to realize that each wall is in a peculiar place and has peculiar properties. Well, how else are you going to patch the holes in the universe that are gateways to horrors beyond imagination.
