Those other doctors certainly picked a very festive time to take me out of my "fictional reality", as they put it. Luckily, I didn't have any plans to disturb. I got a 'Merry Christmas' right before my I'd imagine standard 'Hello, you're fictional' speech yesterday.

Help a poor new arrival out, will you?
On a scale of one to ten: How upset should I be that I'm here? It's so hard to make a clear judgement a place when it's decorated for the holidays.

I can't imagine anyone enjoys being trapped.

You'd be surprised how quickly most people get used to it whether they like it or not.

[burlap]

Would I? An overall acceptance with the situation does seem odd.

Complacency is the name of the game here.

That could be a dangerous game if everyone's a player.

It's a pleasure, Mr. Odair.

[pelagically]

It's nice to find someone who agrees.

I'd tell you the pleasure is all mine, but I'm afraid I didn't catch your name.

What a shame more people don't.

Did I forget to say? My apologies.

Enough do, but no one does anything. You'll find that's a pattern.

[burlap]

'What can one do though?,' they think.

[pelagically]

True. Even those of us who've revolted before have been dragging our feet. It's still no excuse, but it is what it is.

On the bright side, there's a beach!

[burlap]

A beach. That makes up for it.
