… The man heard the smooth unfamiliar sound of an engine, it was neither far nor distant.  Opening his eyes he found himself curiously placed upon a narrow bridge not wide enough for any car to drive over and not exactly a pedestrian bridge.  As he continued to observe his surroundings an automated monitor flew over head displaying warning messages to exit the bridge immediately for the law and his own safety.  The man had been asleep it had become apparent and was dreaming of the future as he imagined it.  In his dream he stated “what better is there that we should hope for, for what can tomorrow bring that we have not already imagined?” That is precisely when he woke up.  To answer the question something like the combination of Rip Van Winkle and The Twilight Zone had come.  The man became aware that he was perhaps the master of this land, if he was in fact just dreaming.  He continued conjecturing “I shall become a legend, I will do tremendous things”.  So he stated “I desire a hovering golden transport” and to his amazement the monitor responded to him “what size?”, “make it the largest one you have, and it better be well equipped.”  Within seconds a large floating golden chariot swept him off his feet, and rushed him to a towering building with no windows.  The chariot spoke to him “your home sir”, the man replied “no, no, this is not my home”, but before he finished the chariot had left him.  There was an interactive display at the front door repeating the line “I’m here to help, what is it you need”, the man said to the display “It is time for me to wake, I would like to go home, wake me up.”  The display promptly replied “You are awake, you are home Mr. Macmillan.”  Mr. Macmillan began to remember two realities, that he had memories both of that name, but also of a place much different than his present placement.  “Is this real, is this what has happened, how could I be me now and yet things be so different so foreign.”  He had come to the odd conclusion that it would be a hard journey to discovering his true identity, place, and future.
