Come to your senses in searing heat, in the new world without any idea where you are. Listen to the Narrator. There are many ways to comprehend his tales. One way leads through the neck of a jug to Ye Olde Shoppe of Slumber. Choose which slumber is yours and immediately consume it. Don’t wait until the smoke arrives in order to close your eyes thus forever depriving you of the ability to daydream. However, if you are fast enough, you shall learn how to slumber in smoke. Then nothing shall prevent you from perceiving everything around you precisely as you created it. Remember that the exit is at the edge of the funeral pyre. The shriek of bamboo shall signal when to escape the fire.
