    Ahh, dreaming can be so lovely, but that reality part of waking came be such a bitch sometimes. Great work! And I adored the cover art (is that your wife?).

    Especially when I dreamed I was a millionaire! Luckily I woke up and didn't have to worry about spending all that money. ☺️ Well done!
