I m from CI~cago originally. I went to New York, married a girl named Anne, and<br >was in the middle of living happily ever after when something happened. I didn t<br >know what it was, and if you would have asked me at the time I would have said<br >nothing, that nothing was happening, because for me nothing was. I was standing in<br >a convenience store next to a gas station along a picturesque parkway in New Jersey.<br >I was perusing the assorted candies and snacks, debating with myself what to bring<br >back to Anne. She was waiting in the car. We were driving to her mother s house and<br >I was probably reading the labels, looking for something nutritious to eat. Although<br >it wasn t a dream, the unnatural light of the convenience store made it seem as ifI was<br >existing in the world of a dream, the main difference being that, unlike a dreamworld,<br >in this world, the convenience store world, nothing much was happening.<br > That s not right. It was all happening, I just wasn t seeing it. I wasn t seeing it<br >because my attention was absorbed by walls of refrigerated cases and the aisles of<br >bright displays. I was concentrating on all the possible choices, which, after a while,<br >I d narrowed down to a thin pack of peanuts, a protein-style candy bar, and a so-called<br >energy drink. When I paid the cashier I didn t notice the rings on the woman s fingers,<br >and I didn t count my change.
