An event horizon is a boundary in spacetime beyond which events cannot affect an

outside observer. The most common case of an event horizon is that surrounding a black
hole. Light emitted from beyond the horizon can never reach the observer. Likewise, any
object approaching the horizon from the observer’s side appears to slow down and never
quite pass through the horizon, with its image becoming more and more redshifted as
time elapses. The travelling object, however, experiences no strange effects and does, in
fact, pass through the horizon in a finite amount of proper time. Inside of the event
horizon all paths bring the particle closer to the centre of the black hole. It is no longer
possible for the particle to escape.

Water from the peat bogs coagulated around stones on the river’s floor. Frothed up in
clumped tiers plying against currents. Teased between the stepping stones sunk deep,
little clinging flickers of hesitation, wavering on your edge. They never took the jump.
Further downriver, abbey’s bridleway walls stopped their descent down to the wateredge.
