We all remember the bedtime stories of our childhood. The shoe fits Cinderella. The frog turns into a prince. Sleeping Beauty is awakened with a kiss. Once upon a time and then they lived happily ever after. Fairy tales - the stories of dreams. The problem with fairy tales is that they don't come true. It's the other stories, the ones that begin with dark and stormy nights and end in the unspeakable. It's the nightmares that always seem to be reality. The person that invented the phrase "happily ever after" should have their ass kicked!
Once upon a time, happily ever after - the stories we tell are the stuff of dreams that don't come true. Reality is much stormier, much murkier, much scarier. Reality - it's so much more interesting than living happily ever after for it's the obstacle of hallucinations.
