Author
- "Certain details - the color of a car, a person you may know, a special date - are culled from your biography to enhance them but, yes, the stories are manufactured."
Man
- "They felt so real."
Author
- "Thank you."
*silence*
Author
- "You're unsure of what to say next?"
Man
- "What do you say to the man that has been writing the last 6 months of your life?"
Author
- "You say that you wish to restore your place within the narrative. From the data we've gathered, we've been able to identify what woke you up. You go back under and rejoin the others."
Man
- "But how can I just agree to walk back into that....nightmare?"
Author
- "You will maintain no recollection of your time above. It is indeed a great sacrifice, but up until the moment you close your eyes you will know that you are part of something good. You are making better lives for them. You are making their dreams better."
