Again, I have so little time.... but Shayne, that dream was awesome. You have a nightmare and something happens in it to make you think you have woken up, but the horrors continue, only now they seem to be *really* for real. Dreaming that you have woken up while you're having a nightmare is just the worst thing.
By the way...<confession> I once dreamed that *I was a killer*. That I *killed*. I can't explain to you the horror of thinking to myself, of realizing, *I am a killer now*. Nothing is going to matter from now on, because *I am a killer*.
I can so totally sympathize with Lois for feeling cursed, because she has killed. She killed because she had to, but still, she killed.
Amazing story, Shayne! I'm still absolutely captivated.
