My brothers and my sisters, tonight my faith was reaffirmed. I am a true believer. I have joined the huddled masses. I have jumped on the band-wagon. I have been bathed....um... in the river.... of dreams.
Whatever. Just when I start doubting the order of the universe, and just when I begin to think that everything is in fact random and meaningless, I get this. A sign? A vision? No, I don't suppose I can classify it as supernatural. No, no... The face of a stranger I am destined to see a thousand times. No words, not a whispered "hello." A flash of recognition in his eye, or fear perhaps. Maybe it was my disbelief being reflected in him, like light on a mirror. I haven't thought about him in months. Before that, one would have to dig deep to find any reference to him. No promises. How could there have been? When musing in the car on the way to the theater, "I wish I could see him agian," I could not have imagined that I would see him sitting two rows in front of me.
Mister Vonnegut may have been onto something when he imagined the existance of a karass.
Experimentation? Increase pressure and temperature. Decrease volume. Add a catalyst.
