The Clock keeps the rest of the dream. Seed: 61d43990 I was trapped in my childhood house. Warm water had climbed the kitchen stairs. My dog waited with a red collar, a brass key, and the photograph of my mother. The clock in the hallway was sinking, and I had to gather them before the dream collapsed.
The stage is dark.
