You are allowed to interpret it however you would like. That’s not how I saw it but I could easily see that angle of it

This hits home: the fever state, the not wanting to come back, the love and concern of a partner. Just fascinating and intriguing writing. Like Patris I thought maybe they both died…or maybe a unique viral/bacterial strain that literally brings you to a completely different dimension. Regardless, this story had me totally engrossed!

It’s really just about enjoying the ride under imperfect circumstances and being open to unfamiliar experiences having positives. After what you’ve gone through I’m thrilled you like the story.

It’s such a recognizable sound. It’s underrated as far as noises go

I'm under the impression that both people had near death experiences and your link and comments on your own Facebook page only further this impression. I know from being Facebook friends with you that you have lost a lot of close friends recently and even if you don't want to say so directly the subconscious mind screams out what we are really thinking. In any event another great one! I just hope that my good friend Aaron Sizemore and my two wives and all the pets we had are in the place you describe. I have many friends who have gone there. None came back to tell me anything about it. Your description makes it sound pretty cool!

It’s definitely a place people (at least Brooke) prefers to this plane of existence
