Overture

This is a story about being dead.

This is a story about being crazy.

This is a story about being asleep. This is a story about being awake after a lifetime of sleeping.

I don't know which it is. I didn't write this story. I'm just telling it.

The truth is that no one makes up anything. Every book, every movie, everything we call fictional actually happens on some level of reality.

The ideas, they come to us as we dream, in sleep or in what we call reality. They come from somewhere else. We go there sometimes when we dream.

The story is true. It just hasn't happened.

It's the story of two lovers separated by their own minds.

It's the story of two humans who only know each other through dreams.

It's the story of two strangers who died 87 years apart without ever knowing each other.

This is a story about reality and how it doesn't mean anything.
