In order to be first in line to buy a hot new video game, Neil hides out
overnight in a store filled with high-tech, surreal toys. There, he meets
another hide-away with a bent for philosophy.
As is the case with many of my stories, the theme is the question of what is real. The issue is complicated here by recursion playing a large role.
