    I like to think I am real, this hand I see before me, physically real. My thoughts, they belong to me, it gives me free will, they are onto myself, and I alone. But how do I know this, am I somebody elses a dream somewhere else, in another place, possibly a parallel universe that quantum physics has been suggesting is a reality.

    Perhaps, I am a figment of the imagination of a coma patient elsewhere. But I have free will? Well not in my dreams I dont, perhaps this is the case for my potential dreamer, in another place, giving me life in the here and now.

    If you could be the figment of the imagination of a coma patient somewhere then it's possible that the coma patient is just a figment of the imagination of another coma victim. And that coma patient could be the figment of the imagination of another coma patient.. And so on.

    Welcome to the twilight zone.. *sinister music*

    Me though, I'm a brain in a vat.

    Are you referring to the many worlds hypothesis?

    No!

    But since you asked, ok....

    Chapter 1:

    "Tell me more?" asked sNarah, her brow furrowed with confusion and her voice quivering with teenage angst. "No!", Squarewave yelled, his voice loud with unwarranted anger, "But since you asked, ok..."

    to be continued...
