Synopsis
On an endless gas-filled track, naked prisoners (or are they really dead people in hell ?) have no other option than to cycle for their life, the action of the pedals supplying their gas-masks with breathable air. The narrator of this story doesn't know (or has forgotten) how he got there, and is unable to decide whether he is another prisoner or one of the guards.
