From an Inner Chapter By Robert Laughlin

C.T. wanted to swim in the hotel pool, but the gate was locked. He rang and rang for the manager. Nobody came. Deciding this was a bad dream, he willed himself to wake and woke in a poolside chair, so he dove in, feeling the water surge over his multicolored wings.
