Dear Diary: By day’s end someone had pinned a medal to my chest. I don’t know why
I had that dream again. I am a prisoner in some whimsically opulent penitentiary. Groaning tables of my favourite foods line an endless gilded hall. A grand stage provides me with eternal entertainments; plays, operas, great symphonies. But amidst all this splendour I know that I am not free.
But there were more of them … the crying people. At every new place to which I was taken I saw them: grown men and women losing their composure in my presence as if they were looking upon a son or daughter at their wedding day.

It was then I must admit I assumed a kind of trance state; the man’s features appeared to blur as his voice became a distant and cacophonous echo. I waited until I believed him to be done, and then I smiled and nodded, causing him to cry like the others.
