Lilith is sitting comfortably in her living room, drinking sherry and talking to a friend on the phone.
Lilith: …SO EDWARD AND I WENT TO THIS LOVELY RESTAURANT AND …

All of a sudden, everything turns negative.
Lilith: OH FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE.

Then, everything becomes oversaturated. 
Lilith gets up and walks out the backdoor.
Lilith: HOLD ON, PATRICIA.

Lilith walks purposefully through the backyard.
Suddenly, gravity disappears for a few seconds and Lilith and objects around her float around.

Something else changes and everything becomes spherical.
Lilith rolls through the backyard.

Gravity returns, stronger than ever.
Lilith is squashed and she drags herself across the lawn. Trees bend. The moon’s orbit becomes smaller.

The curvature of space changes, warping Lilith and the garden into a weird shape. 

The light’s refractive index gets out of wack.
Lilith reaches the garden shed.

Lilith opens the door. Her husband is doing some science experiments.
Lilith: EDWARD! STOP MUCKING ABOUT WITH THE CONSTANTS OF NATURE!
Edward: SORRY, DEAR.
