““I have something for you.” A friend says as they gesture towards inner space of their coat pocket. One of their hands splayed so the fingers stretch the pocket wide the other hand bobbing with its index finger pointed straight into the darkness. This is the point you at now. You can decide from here what to do. If you reach in you will find a key, and that friend will kneel head bowed to reveal a key hole on the top of their skull. You will unlock a rich inner world of likes you have never explored. This is to press play on an episode of the Casting Whats. You can also decide to trade your friends gesture for a look of skepticism and turn back towards home, comfort and mundane repetition of attempting to ignore all the discomforting thoughts that consciousness has cursed you with. Perhaps drink yourself to sleep again counting down the hours until your next work shift where you count down the hours to your time off. It’s entirely your choice, you think.”
