Short dream last night. I am under a sky the color of a de-tuned television. I am standing on a great plain straight out of the American Mid-west. A man dressed in a severe blue shark-skin suit and large glasses approaches me with something in his hand. He looks remarkably like the man who played Dr. Eldon Tyrell in Blade Runner. In his hand is a small, chrome gun—all one piece and very shiny. He smiles as I admire it, and then aims at a 45 degree angle up and fires several times. His shots blow jagged black holes in the sky.

I wake feeling nervous.
