  • Uncommon Occurances

    I didn't sleep well; I woke up several times throughout the night. On the upside, I have a strong recollection of three distinct yet inter-related dreams:

    Dream I: Alex and the Accident
    I came into work as normal and spoke to Alex, my co-worker. He'd been in some sort of car accident in which he'd hit โ€ฆ

  • Quacks Do Echo, Thank You Very Much
