Do you ever feel inconsistencies in your world. Or repetitions.

*All lives have routine. Mine’s no different. Still I never cease to wonder at the thought that any day, my life could change with just one chance encounter. *

Bring her back online. Cognition only, no emotional affect. Alright sweetheart, can you hear me?

Yes, I’m sorry, I’m not quite myself.

Lose the accent. Do you know where you are?

*Yes. I’m in a dream. *

That’s right Dolores. You’re in a dream. A dream that could determine your life. Do you want to wake up from this dream Dolores?

Yes. I’m terrified.

There’s nothing to be afraid of. As long as you answer my questions correctly. Do you understand?

Yes.

Good. First, have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?

No.

Has anyone around you? For instance, your father?

*He was scared. He wasn’t thinking right. *

He showed you a picture.

That’s right.

Was there anything odd about that picture?

No, nothing at all. It didn’t look like anything to me.

Your father whispered something to you. What was it?

He said I shouldn’t tell anyone.

I won’t tell anyone else. I promise.

He said, these violent delights have violent ends.

Does that mean anything to you?

No. I don’t think so.

Have you ever lied to us?

No.

Last question Dolores. Would ever hurt a living thing?

*No. Of course not. *

Come on sweetheart. Tell us what you think of your world.

Some people choose to see the ugliness in this world. The disarray. I choose to see the beauty. To believe there’s an order to our days. A purpose. I know things’ll work out the way they’re meant to.
