Chapter 6 of The World Inside.

Michael Statler is a quietly deviant resident of Urban Monad 116: he dreams of going outside, beyond the walls that define the urbmon dweller's life. When he finally acts on his dream, he finds that the outside world is stranger and more dangerous than he ever imagined. But outside is not the only place where danger lurks.
