## Caption

“Whether or not the realization of a lifelong dream had surpassed all expectation, it had, in a sense, overshot its mark - and plunged into a nightmare.”
-
“with a blue block of ice for heart, a pill on my tongue and solid death in my hip pocket”
-
“that at any moment some thin-lipped parchment face would peer through a carelessly unshaded window to obtain a free glimpse of things that the most jaded voyeur would have paid a small fortune to watch.”
-
“I have turned on the light to take down a dream.”
-
“and that he had lightheartedly taken advantage of it one rainy day and forgotten it by the time the weather cleared.”
