Neon questions on a screen. A contestant wins a game show and throws a William Morris1 chair through a kitchen window.
The kitchen door opens. The backyard has a swimming pool. A woman and I climb upstairs.
‘Why?’ I ask.
‘Because we ain’t been this way yet.’
A horde of faceless people attack us. They surround us. One throws a syringe at me but misses. One faceless figure shoots another. One tries to escape.
I realise I am dreaming.
I need to dream part two.
The sequel is already dead.
William Morris (1834–96) was a British designer, writer, publisher, and socialist whose work and ideas helped shape the Arts and Crafts movement.↩
