I gently try to glide along the floor.

You glide around clumsily, like an ocean that can switch between in and out tide within the blink of an eye. From your sight/touch sense you discover that you are in a small square and there are other things in the square, but you don't know quite what, as they are stuck on the spikes and you cannot reach them in this liquidy form.

I'd probably feel nauseous if I were made out of flesh and bone right now, but I don't just by virtue of being sand. But I can guess what's piked on those spikes. I try to find a way out of the pit.

You try to find a way out of the pit, but all this succeeds is you slopping against the walls uselessly.

I try to turn into a more gel-like substance so I can stick to the walls and scale them.

Sticky substances...hmmmm...
*Overly innocent expression* I can't think of any sticky substances...well, maybe one...

You mean melted marshmellow fluff, right?

Obviously. What other sticky substances would I think of?

Glue? Melted gummi bears?

No, I didn't, but I watched people on television do it!

...Wow. Has the world really gotten into such a state that people set gelatine-based sweets on fire for entertainment? *Sighs* Nobody reads anymore...

Well, experimentation is never bad. But yes, reading should be done more often. And woe is America, for the loss of the two-newspaper towns.

You only have one newspaper?! Or am I stupid and not catching your drift...?

Not catching my drift. Two-newspaper town is terminology, or a model rather. Basically, it's because US newspapers are biased and entertainment based, you can never get the full story. And because of our political system, we're generally divided into two classes: liberal and conservative. Two-newspapers towns refer to the fact that you'd have to read two newspapers to be a well-informed citizen. However, the newspapers in America are going bankrupt. People just don't read newspapers anymore, and the newspapers we have are practically smut at this point (trying to get an audience), so the intellectuals looking for news wouldn't read them anyways, and thus it becomes a self-perpetuating cycle. With newspapers going bankrupt, it's difficult to get that 'both sides of the story' that you're supposed to have in the two-newspaper model.
Therefore, I need to start subscribing to international newspapers, and watch the BBC.
