    About this ebook

    Dreams, Reality, or Transcendence. It's hard to tell when you think you are alone. Every night we enter dreams and whatever keeps us connected to our own reality might be broken as easy as it came to be. Does it matter? Any day you could wake up in a sick, violent world, or some clear paradise where everyone is a dear friend. To live every day safe and content, or to struggle at every turn with terror. Many people can decide and there will always be a few who cannot.
    It is the moment you are living in that counts the most. Go on a few adventures vicariously. Maybe it will make you find some more.

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      When Wendy Asked What We Dream

      Short and powerful. It is only a one or two night read, but it has good images and a strong message. I will wait and read it again, but wish it was longer. 99 cents was about right.

    I am in an open grassy field, it’s overcast and I see a silhouette of what must be a castle. I’m wearing heavy clothes and everything seems damp and wet. I have nowhere else to go so I walk toward the castle. The grass under my feet gives way to a black mud at every step I take. It is silent and no one is in sight. I walk and trudge on a path to my destination.

    Desolation must be the theme of these lands. Life seems to be scarce and fragile. I am not alone for long. I see riders descend from the closest ridge. In seconds they are upon me. There are no words, just a brutal attack. I fight in vain, but fight nonetheless. I am rendered helpless and bound with excessive cords. The cords are fleshy and seem to be cut from the innards of an unfortunate predator.

    I’m made
