| Alas,
I awoke before I could glimpse a single page. But, uncannily,
I awoke knowing I'd been allotted the terrifying task of
writing that daunting book myself. That afternoon, I bought
an Any Year Diary and every morning for a year
thereafter my first act on waking was to reach for it and
watch in wonder as a different reality escaped from the
point of my pencil. |
