There is a school of thought that says everything that will ever be created already exists in the infinite consciousness that is the source of all creation,only waiting to be revealed by one who is open to it. Your story speaks to this notion. It also brings to mind the drawings of DaVinci that previewed inventions which appeared hundreds of years later, not unlike the main character's tattoos. Your wondrous ethereal prose brought magic to this tale, J..

Thanks KC. Yes, I think you’ve caught sight of the same collective I was aiming for. I believe I’ve quoted Jessamyn West before because it rings true time and again, “nighttime is really the best time to work, all the ideas are there to be yours while everyone else is asleep” — I think dreams are quite the same. And some people are lightning rods for those ideas floating in the ether.
