Summary

Have you ever read a book where you haven't been entirely sure what happened in the book? Where you haven't been sure what's "real," and if you can tell what's "real," you can't tell who the book is "real" for? Have you ever felt like the whole world is a stage, and that we are merely players? If you answered "yes" to all these questions, you might be the target audience for this one.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
