What a great post-August re-introduction to the singular imagination of Victor David! I read it as a death parable, and haven't yet decided if I'm going to adjust my interpretation to that of a dream. But hey, it's my laptop. Regardless, it's a wonderful story - thank you, Victor!

Yes, you can adjust or not, up to you. That's the fun part. Hey, I re-adjust for myself! Thanks for reading and your lovely comment, Mike.

What an amazing dream! Especially liked "Forever driven to the accolades of a faithless public." "Only thing real was our avoidance of reality." "night darktumbled from God’s hand and streetlights glowered." "These hollow bones of thoughts..." Beautiful, Victor.

Thank you Sharron. I do tend to have odd dreams, which I really enjoy. Can't always remember, though, at times just fragments. Glad you liked it!

Wild and wonderful, Victor. I must read several more times. Glad to have you back! I too took August off and the muse seems to have left the building in my absence. This piece inspires me to look for her!

Thanks Jim! Glad you took some time off, too. It's good to recharge and I hope you're feeling the power vibe. The muse will find you soon I'm sure. Look forward to it! Thanks again.
