== Plot ==
In a monologue with himself "in the last person",〔Beckett, "All Strange Away", 42〕 the nameless unseen protagonist begins with the words, "Imagination dead imagine". He then describes an enclosed space of bare walls that are "five foot square, six high〔Beckett, "All Strange Away", 41〕 and lit on and off from no visible source. Evoking a theatrical setting, he imagines light fading up on a stool surrounded by walls displaying women's faces while, in a corner, he perceives the "tattered syntaxes of Jolly and Draeger Praeger Draeger".〔Beckett, "All Strange Away", 42〕 The size and description of the space with "no way in, none out"〔Beckett, "All Strange Away", 41〕 is subject to change depending on the clarity of the protagonist's failing memory as he attempts to recall a love affair with Emma.
