NotesBefore I tell you this story, I should introduce Rachael Webster. The trouble is, Iām not sure how to do that. Was she a friend of mine? Sure. A great friend. We spent nine months together as tight as Siamese twins. But she wasnāt family, and I never really met her in person. I could say she didnāt exist, but thatās a copout: she obviously existed, and had a life, and friends, and a career, at least until her budget ran out and I had to write her out of this world.Unfurl

Notes"I suggest that if you recognize and acknowledge that purpose in life can only be derived from an imaginary friend, by whatever name you call him, then Iām afraid you do not grasp what ārealityā is."Unfurl
