Speaker 1 L

Speaker 2 Well, hello there, my friend.

Speaker 2 I had a feeling you'd wander in today.

Speaker 2 I've just brewed a fresh pot of tea.

Speaker 2 Black as the depths, of course.

Speaker 2 Care for a cup?

Speaker 2 Good,

Speaker 2 good.

Speaker 2 Come closer, then.

Speaker 2 The strangest items have found their way to my shelves over the past days.

Speaker 2 Of course, I've set two of them aside.

Speaker 2 Just for you.

Speaker 2 Now, to find the first.

Speaker 2 Here it is.

Speaker 2 A simple envelope.

Speaker 2 Inside,

Speaker 2 a folded leaflet.

Speaker 2 Its edges just beginning to fray.

Speaker 2 Appears to be a... Welcome message introducing the recipient to something called

Speaker 2 the M Show Fan Club.

Speaker 2 A harmless club for a children's television show, no doubt.

Speaker 3 Yet,

Speaker 2 the air about it...

Speaker 2 rather peculiar, wouldn't you say?

Speaker 2 Mostly because of this membership card.

Speaker 2 The name etched on it

Speaker 2 changes,

Speaker 2 depending on who's holding it.

Speaker 2 Curious.

Speaker 2 Ah,

Speaker 2 but I mustn't spoil the fun.

Speaker 2 This particular tale is called

Speaker 2 the M Show Fan Club.

Speaker 2 Let's get you signed up. Before we begin, I want to point out some of the customers whose names have been etched in brass on this beautiful plaque I had made above the front desk.

Speaker 2 These are some of the members of the inner circle of the antiquarium. We go by the Obsidian Covenant.
Recent initiates include include Ryan Dutchman,

Speaker 2 Janice,

Speaker 2 Jason Carmichael, Deja Arnold,

Speaker 2 Christy Bashirs, Lauren Carraway,

Speaker 2 Olaf Luckstaff,

Speaker 2 Dolly Marie,

Speaker 2 and Jeremy Richmond. We are ever appreciative of your devotion to the Order.

Speaker 2 Go to theObsidian

Speaker 2 to receive the sacrament.

Speaker 2 Now,

Speaker 2 where were we?

Speaker 2 Oh, yes,

Speaker 2 welcome to the antiquarium of sinister happenings

Speaker 2 and odd goings-on.

Speaker 3 When I was nine years old, I had a favorite TV series.

Speaker 3 It had human actors and actors in animal suits and funny educational clips in between.

Speaker 3 I don't want to name it because it was a really good show and this story is not at all a fault of the show.

Speaker 3 I'll just call it the M Show.

Speaker 3 The M Show was running for years and I had been watching it for as long as I can remember.

Speaker 3 I always sat down straight after school with my older sister Scarlett and my best friend Brandy who lived next door.

Speaker 3 It It was our ritual.

Speaker 3 Every day the three of us sat together with sweets if our moms allowed it or apples or grapes.

Speaker 3 And in the breaks of the show we talked and gossiped about all those important issues in our lives.

Speaker 2 Then

Speaker 3 I remember it was a warm summer Friday.

Speaker 3 Scarlett found a prize competition in one of her girl magazines.

Speaker 3 It asked questions about the show.

Speaker 3 The first prize was a trip to Disney World with your parents.

Speaker 3 Even better, everybody who sent in the correct answers would become a member of the M Show Club, a fan club for the show.

Speaker 3 The same day after watching the M Show, the three of us huddled together on the couch to answer the quiz.

Speaker 3 The questions were very hard.

Speaker 3 They asked details about old episodes of the show, and without Scarlett branding, I never would have managed to answer all those questions.

Speaker 3 Scarlett begged our mom for stamps and envelopes, and we filled the three envelopes each with a paper with our names and contact details and the answers to the questions.

Speaker 3 Scarlett even told us to vary our answers slightly so that we wouldn't be called out for cheating.

Speaker 3 The letters were sent off, and every day we all rushed to the mailbox to get our The M M Show Club badges.

Speaker 3 When the first snow began to fall, we stopped checking the mailbox.

Speaker 3 Brandy was still passionate about the show and watched it every day, but Scarlett lost interest.

Speaker 3 When Scarlett stopped watching, I too began to skip the show.

Speaker 3 Brandy still came over, but she was the only one watching.

Speaker 3 I sat next to her while working my way through Scarlett's old girl magazines.

Speaker 3 It was early spring.

Speaker 3 I remember there were tulips in our garden and my mom reprimanded me for plucking two to decorate the kitchen table.

Speaker 3 But, right after her lecture, she gave me a small square letter with my name printed on it.

Speaker 3 The back said,

Speaker 3 Welcome to the M-Show fan club.

Speaker 3 There was not much in the envelope, only a short leaflet that welcomed me to the club, and a small ID card with my name on it, a big logo of the show, and in black letters, the M Show Fan Club, and in the line below, in big black letters, the word member.

Speaker 3 Brandy got her envelope the same day. She was glowing with happiness.

Speaker 3 Scarlett was jealous at first, but two days later, she got her envelope too.

Speaker 3 From then on, every Friday, each of us received a leaflet about the show with photos and anecdotes and background information on the characters.

Speaker 3 Occasionally, the leaflets also called on the club members to promote the show and to watch out for the M Show tour.

Speaker 3 We loved the show afterwards. I think from that day on, after I proudly stuffed the membership card in my bag, I didn't miss a single episode.

Speaker 3 Then, in mid-June, we all got two leaflets.

Speaker 3 The first one was the usual one with facts and photos, but the second was an ad.

Speaker 3 The bus was coming the next Sunday to our town.

Speaker 2 We were all allowed to go.

Speaker 3 We were beyond excited.

Speaker 3 The leaflet didn't have much information, and that was before we had a computer at home.

Speaker 3 The tour bus would arrive at 1 p.m.

Speaker 3 and the main characters of the show would be there to welcome everybody and play games with us.

Speaker 3 Those that participated in at least four games would be upgraded to elite member status and receive a new golden membership card.

Speaker 3 Those nine days of waiting for the M Show tour were some of the longest in my life.

Speaker 3 Brandy and Scarlett and I had planned every day how we would take photos with each of the characters and then play games with them.

Speaker 3 I secretly dreamed of beating Scarlett at the knowledge game where our knowledge about the show would be tested.

Speaker 3 On Saturday, Scarlett went to a birthday sleepover at one of her friends' houses.

Speaker 3 The parents were supposed to bring Scarlett back by 12 on Sunday.

Speaker 3 Around 12:30, Brandy came running to our house. She knocked on the back door like she always did, and I let her in.

Speaker 3 Brandy was beyond excited. Her mom had volunteered to accompany the three of us, and she wanted to go early so that we wouldn't miss anything.

Speaker 3 My mom called the house of Scarlett's friend, but they didn't pick up their phone.

Speaker 3 She said that Scarlett would be home soon, early enough to go on time.

Speaker 3 At 12.45, Brandy's mother came over.

Speaker 3 She said that we would have to leave so that the cues wouldn't be too long.

Speaker 3 My mom said we should wait for Scarlett, but Brandy threw a tantrum. She was scared that she wouldn't be able to hug all the characters if we came late.
Brandy's mom decided to drive.

Speaker 3 I wanted to come along, but my mother said that she would drive Scarlett and me. I felt like I was being punished for Scarlett's being late.

Speaker 2 I begged. I cried.

Speaker 3 Nothing helped.

Speaker 2 Brandy went alone.

Speaker 3 Her friend's parents dropped Scarlett off at 1.40.

Speaker 3 My mom said if I made a scene, we wouldn't go at all. I relented.

Speaker 3 We arrived around 20 minutes later, at the big parking lot where the bus was scheduled to stop.

Speaker 3 We saw the crowds from from the distance, parked the car, and walked over.

Speaker 3 I asked my mom where the characters of the show were. She said that they were just behind the crowd.

Speaker 3 They all held the M-Show Tour flyers, but it looked as if the crowd were mostly parents.

Speaker 3 They stood in a half circle towards the edge of the parking lot. Some of them looked concerned, but most of them were laughing and talking.

Speaker 3 My mom spotted Brandy's mother at the other end of the half circle.

Speaker 3 We walked over to her.

Speaker 3 Brandy's mother was one of the worried ones.

Speaker 3 She told us that the bus had been there together with all the animal figures from the M Show.

Speaker 3 They had a large bus with the M Show logo and they handed out sweets.

Speaker 3 One of the animal figures had explained to the parents that they built a set outside of town where we could all make our own short film with the characters of the show.

Speaker 3 They said they would drive everybody there.

Speaker 3 They took the children first.

Speaker 3 They were all so excited that few parents objected.

Speaker 3 Still, three or four parents came along, and that calmed the rest.

Speaker 3 The next bus was supposed to arrive within a few minutes to bring everyone to the set.

Speaker 3 When I heard that, I was excited like never before.

Speaker 3 I ran to the street to look around so I could be the first on on the bus. Scarlett followed me.

Speaker 3 I didn't see the worried expression when Brandy's mother talked to mine.

Speaker 3 I didn't understand why the police came not even an hour later.

Speaker 3 In Monday's episode of The M Show, one of the characters came on stage and told us to call our parents to watch the show.

Speaker 3 Our mom was already sitting with Scarlett and me.

Speaker 3 The character said that the M show

Speaker 3 didn't have a fan club.

Speaker 3 That week, Brandy's parents cried a lot.

Speaker 3 I was still sure that Brandy was okay.

Speaker 3 I thought she just had so much fun that she didn't want to come back.

Speaker 3 She must have had a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 She never came back.

Speaker 3 Brandy's mother cried even more that Friday when the small parcel arrived.

Speaker 3 There was a new M Show fan club membership card for Brandy.

Speaker 3 It was golden and said elite member in big bold letters.

Speaker 3 The parcel also contained a video.

Speaker 3 It was only a minute long.

Speaker 3 She was wearing the same dress as she was when she came over to our house that Sunday morning.

Speaker 3 On the video, Brandy was smiling.

Speaker 3 An actor in a big animal suit stood next to her silently.

Speaker 3 Hi, Mom. I really like it here.
I really wish you could be here.

Speaker 3 Too bad the others were late.

Speaker 3 I'm sure they would have loved it, too.

Don't miss a killer movie night at home.

Speaker 1 Why, hello there. You've reached the antiquarium.

Speaker 2 If you wish to leave a message, please do so with the town and have a great day.

Speaker 4 Uh uh hi. Um

Speaker 4 I uh had an appointment at the antiquarium, or I'm I thought I had an appointment, um but I'm standing outside your shop. Well, okay, I'm standing outside where your shop is supposed to be

Speaker 4 and uh it's is this an alley?

Speaker 4 Um

Speaker 4 a long, dark alley in between two other shops, and

Speaker 4 at the end of the alley, there's this group of hooded figures who are

Speaker 4 chanting.

Speaker 4 Okay, now one of the figures is beckoning at me to come over there.

Speaker 4 You know, I'm just gonna come back during regular business hours.

Speaker 4 Thanks.

Speaker 4 End of messages.

Speaker 2 That took a rather menacing

Speaker 2 This, my dear friend, is something quite...

Speaker 2 special.

Speaker 2 A wheelchair.

Speaker 2 The leather seat has softened over time.

Speaker 2 The metal frame gleams faintly as if reluctant to surrender its past.

Speaker 2 It was used once in the recovery of a young man.

Speaker 2 A young man who suffered a terrible accident. He spent months confined to this very chair.

Speaker 2 Let's admit, you two.

Speaker 2 I've come to terms with the fact that everything I know is a dream.

Speaker 2 As a preface, please note that this will probably be very long.

Speaker 2 I don't care if nobody reads it.

Speaker 2 Everyone in the world could read it.

Speaker 2 Nothing would change.

Speaker 2 I just need to voice my concerns for my own sake.

Speaker 2 Perhaps by organizing everything on a page, I can make sense of things.

Speaker 2 Several years ago, I was in a brutal car accident.

Speaker 2 I was parked in front of a train track, waiting for the train to pass by.

Speaker 2 I was the last person not to make it across the tracks.

Speaker 2 For visualization, there was a solid stream of cars on either side. If I had tried to sneak across, I would have rear-ended the person in front of me before successfully clearing them.

Speaker 2 I could hear the train approaching, and the black and yellow bars lowered in front of me.

Speaker 2 I'm fascinated by trains, so I was delighted to be so close, finally getting a front row seat.

Speaker 2 The train was about a quarter mile from the crossing when the driver behind me accelerated and nudged me forward a few feet.

Speaker 2 The bars bent and eventually snapped, and I was knocked joltingly onto the tracks. I panicked and threw the car into reverse, trying to back out.

Speaker 2 The other car apparently had more horsepower, however, and to my horror, my car door aligned perfectly with the cattle guard in the front of the train.

Speaker 2 I scrambled to get out of the car, but forgot about my seatbelt. I nearly strangled myself trying to get free.
By the time I unlatched it, it was too late.

Speaker 2 One fraction of a second of the loudest sound I had ever heard, and then

Speaker 2 blackness

Speaker 2 and silence.

Speaker 2 I was certain that I had died. I didn't feel any pain.
And certainly, if I had survived, I'd be in agony.

Speaker 2 I tried to open my eyes, but nothing would happen.

Speaker 2 I tried to make a sound, to wiggle my fingers or do anything, but I couldn't.

Speaker 2 It wasn't that I was paralyzed. It was more like I didn't have a body to manipulate.

Speaker 2 I was just a mind submerged in a pool of nothing.

Speaker 2 The only sentiment I felt was that I had returned to that state after being gone for a long time.

Speaker 2 Forgetting how your parents' house smells until you visit home for the holidays.

Speaker 2 Gradually, I started to have feelings of sensation.

Speaker 2 Passing waves of warmth and wetness finally allowed me to determine where the edges of my body were.

Speaker 2 Almost as soon as I became aware of my physical self, it began to ache.

Speaker 2 I felt as if every inch of me me had been pummeled with a baseball bat, the heavy wooden kind.

Speaker 2 Even opening my eyes was a spectacular ordeal.

Speaker 2 I was in a hospital, so I had survived after all.

Speaker 2 People moved to surround me. Faces that never fully came into focus hovered above my own, and sounds that vaguely resembled speech seemed to reach me through water.

Speaker 2 It wasn't long before I felt weak again and my eyes closed.

Speaker 2 This fading in and out of consciousness lasted for what felt like a very long time, maybe months, though the doctors told me it was only a matter of days.

Speaker 2 After that, I worked on speaking and swallowing food, which seemed silly, but it was actually a challenge at the time.

Speaker 2 Finally, as more and more casts were removed, I was allowed to sit up and turn my head, for which I was incredibly grateful.

Speaker 2 According to my family and my then-girlfriend Sarah, all of whom were overjoyed at being able to speak with me, I was asleep for several days on end after the crash.

Speaker 2 I remember Sarah specifically saying she had missed being able to stare at those beautiful eyes.

Speaker 2 Time passed at an excruciatingly slow pace.

Speaker 2 until physical therapy finally escalated to the point where I could be pushed around in a wheelchair.

Speaker 2 The doctors were surprisingly hopeful that I'd be able to walk again, but it was what they called cautious optimism.

Speaker 2 Nobody wanted to tell me I could be independent again and then have to admit they were wrong later.

Speaker 2 Obviously, I was very hopeful myself, though even transferring from chair to bed was a painful challenge.

Speaker 2 It was around this time that I noticed I never dreamed anymore. When I slept, I only felt the same nothingness that I felt immediately after the crash.

Speaker 2 All the days blended together for a while after that.

Speaker 2 The next memory I can actually separate from the rest is the first time I tried walking on my own.

Speaker 2 There were staff members holding onto my arms and waist just in case I fell, and with their help, I made it all the way across the room on my first try.

Speaker 2 The doctors said they had never seen such a rapid recovery.

Speaker 2 I was giddy.

Speaker 2 Obviously, I wasn't out of the woods yet, but soon I was allowed to live at home again with frequent PT sessions.

Speaker 2 And some weeks after that, I returned to work.

Speaker 2 Life was almost normal for a while. Except for a very slight limp in my left leg, the side that the train hit me on, I was feeling pretty normal.

Speaker 2 It was only after about a month of living in my own house that weird things started to happen.

Speaker 2 The first thing I noticed was that I felt an occasional stinging on my right forearm, like a thin needle was puncturing my skin.

Speaker 2 It was a tiny prick, maybe twice a day at most.

Speaker 2 I figured it was just nerve trauma or something and blocked it from my mind.

Speaker 2 Feigning ignorance was harder to do when I started hearing things, though.

Speaker 2 While I was reading in bed one night, I thought I heard Sarah crying.

Speaker 2 I strained my ears to make sure, and I definitely heard her sobs, but very distantly, like I was submerged in a pool.

Speaker 2 I made my way downstairs quickly, concerned that she had hurt herself or something, but she was just washing dishes in the kitchen.

Speaker 2 Are you okay?

Speaker 3 Yeah,

Speaker 2 why?

Speaker 2 No reason. I dismissed these oddities as best I could.
After all, how could anyone expect to recover from being hit by a goddamn train without some lingering effects?

Speaker 2 Every so often, mostly when I was trying to fall asleep or sitting in a silent room, I would hear occasional sounds that I couldn't connect at first.

Speaker 2 Gradually, I determined that they were hospital sounds. Stretchers being rolled across tiled floors, beeping from machines, rapid chatter between nurses and doctors.

Speaker 2 Although I figured anyone who had suffered as much trauma as I had would experience some degree of whatever I was experiencing,

Speaker 2 I decided to bring it up with my doctor.

Speaker 2 He told me it was perfectly normal for someone in my circumstances, and he could prescribe me a sleep aid if I felt it was necessary. I told him it wasn't a big deal.

Speaker 2 I was just satisfied that a doctor could explain my symptoms.

Speaker 2 The odd glimpses of what seemed to be my past only increased in frequency.

Speaker 2 When I slept, I finally dreamed again, but it was always the same thing.

Speaker 2 If I saw anything at all, it was a hospital room.

Speaker 2 Sometimes there were other people in the room, and sometimes I was alone with the machines.

Speaker 2 There was one night in particular in which the dream was more vivid and gripping than usual.

Speaker 2 My eyes opened warily to see Sarah asleep on the chair beside my hospital bed. Sarah, she jerked awake.
Henry! She scrambled to my side, clutching my hand.

Speaker 2 At this point, it occurred to me that I was dreaming. I stared right into Sarah's eyes.

Speaker 2 I'm asleep right now. She seemed concerned.

Speaker 3 Oh, Henry, you're finally awake.

Speaker 2 I'm right here. It's been so long.
Of course, you would say that. You're part of my dream.

Speaker 2 I'll probably wake up any second. As I spoke, the familiar soreness caught up to me all at once.
It practically knocked the wind from my lungs. Henry, no!

Speaker 2 I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 2 I shook my head defiantly and closed my eyes.

Speaker 2 When I opened them, I was back in my own bed. It was about three in the morning.
I sat awake, pondering what I had just seen.

Speaker 2 I thought I heard Sarah crying again, even though I could see her sleeping beside me. When Sarah finally woke up, she rolled over and laid an arm across my chest.

Speaker 2 She smiled groggily.

Speaker 2 Good morning, big guy.

Speaker 2 Hey, um,

Speaker 2 if I was asleep asleep right now,

Speaker 2 would you tell me?

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 3 That's kind of heavy stuff to drop on a sleepy person.

Speaker 2 Just

Speaker 2 bear with me.

Speaker 2 If I was asleep right now, like dreaming, you know,

Speaker 3 would you tell me? Well,

Speaker 3 I feel pretty real.

Speaker 2 Do you think I'm not real?

Speaker 2 Of course not.

Speaker 2 We got ready for our day. I couldn't stop thinking about my dream, though.

Speaker 2 I noticed that when I tried really hard to space out at work and listened closely enough,

Speaker 2 I could hear the hospital sounds more clearly. I was naturally concerned about this.

Speaker 2 That night, I went to bed early.

Speaker 2 And just as I thought, I was transported immediately to the hospital bed.

Speaker 2 I felt the thin sheets beneath my fingers. I opened my eyes, and Sarah was reading a book in the same chair as before.

Speaker 2 I just looked at her for a long time, trying to discern if she was real.

Speaker 2 She certainly seemed real enough.

Speaker 2 She turned pages with the same flourish that she always had and chewed on one of the temples of her reading glasses.

Speaker 2 Eventually, she looked up and met my eyes. You're awake again.
Victoria! Paul,

Speaker 2 My parents entered the room moments later, looking excited. I talked with them all for a long time.
Of course, my parents too denied the fact that I was asleep, but that topic passed quickly.

Speaker 2 Instead, we discussed my condition.

Speaker 2 I had been in a coma for almost three months with little response.

Speaker 2 They had been slowly losing hope for my recovery until my brain showed signs of activity.

Speaker 2 Since that time, they had been visiting me frequently, hoping that I would wake up.

Speaker 2 It seemed a pretty convincing story.

Speaker 2 After many hours of talking, I had to stop.

Speaker 2 I was legitimately sleepy.

Speaker 2 Of course, they all understood and I fell back asleep.

Speaker 2 Only this time, I didn't wake up in my own bed.

Speaker 2 I woke up in the same hospital bed a few hours later.

Speaker 2 I had to think about it for a very long time.

Speaker 2 But eventually concluded that I must have imagined my miraculous recovery and had been in a coma the whole time after all.

Speaker 5 As you can imagine, it was hard to accept at first.

Speaker 2 Since then, I've been making a second recovery, which has been slower and less successful than the first.

Speaker 2 That's why for a long time I was mostly convinced that I'm really awake this time.

Speaker 2 Nobody walks after getting blindsided by a train, at least not without lots of hard work.

Speaker 2 I've still only left my wheelchair on crutches, and it's been six years.

Speaker 2 It probably sounds like a bittersweet ending, and at one point I agreed.

Speaker 2 I was prepared to live happily ever after in my wheelchair and maybe even graduate to crutches someday, except for one thing.

Speaker 2 When I'm getting ready for bed, after I turn off my lamp and my head hits the pillow, I can still hear them.

Speaker 2 The faint sounds of a busy hospital.

Speaker 2 I know that many of you will say, but I'm real.

Speaker 2 This is real life.

Speaker 2 Of course, you're awake,

Speaker 2 but that's what you're supposed to say.

Speaker 2 Nobody's going to tell me,

Speaker 2 I'm fake, you're dreaming. Wake up.

Speaker 2 I'm still asleep, and I've learned to deal with it.

Speaker 2 I know that nobody I meet during the day is real.

Speaker 2 But I'm tired.

Speaker 2 So I just pretend.

Speaker 2 and that

Speaker 2 will have to do.
