    About this ebook

    The world of the dream around Karyn seems more solid than the real world she left behind. That is, until she gets a good look at the characters around her. A drunk shape-shifting chronomancer, a bartender whose form shifts depending on who he's talking to, a waitress with four arms and green plant-like skin, an angel playing chess with a woman in a wheelchair, a maître d' who can't speak and writes everything on a small chalkboard, and a host whose face won't come into focus no matter how hard Karyn stares at it. It's no wonder she hasn't yet realized she's out in public in her comfy footie pajamas.

      Karyn was having one of those dreams, the kind of dream where you’re at work in your underwear, only she wasn’t in her underwear. She was still in her adult-sized footy pajamas made of that wonderful microfiber fleece that felt so soft against the skin. The feet were starting to wear thin. To preserve
