This may be an opportune moment to advise new readers (and to remind the regulars) that I have dreams that are extraordinarily vivid, and often irrationally narrative in nature. Yes, I am aware most people do not dream like this. Yes, it can be interesting, and a topic for lively conversation. No, it is not something I would wish on you. Some mornings I wish my dreams were of the “every woman who’s ever turned me on comes over to play naked Twister with me” variety, but no. There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch, and my descriptive powers come from the wounds inflicted by these dreams.
With that, some of the visions I set into words are a little disturbing; such is the nature of dream. Just because I dreamed it doesn’t make it true, or even how I necessarily feel. It is just that sometimes, when I sleep I travel down roads not taken, or not yet taken.
So after you read Value, please don’t call for an intervention, okay?

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get just a tad worried after reading it. But I know you. I have to think you’d at least get in touch if you were that close to that road. At least I hope so.
Far more hopeful on the fourth reading than on the first.
