What the hell did I just read? It was like some of my writings in the 70s I did while stoned or tripping. I thought it was brilliant at the time, all artsy and poetic. But upon landing once again on earth, it was crap.

Some things should be kept for your own reading alone.

Deeeeep, GREAT Mind! Are we inside of the womb or outside! This a metaphysical thriller! I have never read a story with so many flips.
