The Dream Sequencer

By Viktor Severn

Just to write down a bunch of dreams seems like an easy enough task. But what if there were restrictions imposed to make the whole thing a bit more challenging (for author and reader both)... What if every line of script has to occupy an exact length so that shapes will be formed... lines... ascending... or descending... or dropping straight down vertically... What if the reader has to carefully select the font to view the shapes created... (Spoiler: any monospaced will do, and as far as the shapes are concerned, it's no great mystery, just a bunch of rectangles & trapezoids) See... I'm already breaking all the marketing rules and leave nothing to the imagination...

Oh, and furthermore, many special characters are included that resemble letters which makes the whole thing more fun or maybe infuriating (depending on the reader). Some great gaps will also appear between letters (it's designed that way). I'm guessing you're already starting to get intrigued. Just look at it as if it were a game and not just a book.
Also, important to remember: Your device is not broken! I cannot stress this enough. Fear nothing, all is explained inside.

Anyway, here's a sample so you can get an idea of what the book is like. Then, go buy it. Or not; either way is fine.
[This form doesn't use monospaced fonts, so I had to change the text a bit here, in order to create the same feel. It'll appear much better inside the book (as long as you use monospaced fonts or publisher default).]

the future is [bleak]
in sense and [visibility]
covered in [white] sheets
snow and mountains above
the [school] by the [sea] empty
by [ hills ] with [ faces ] atop them
reminding the four [Dakotian*] giants
more in [number] and most magnificent
Thor & Odin & Heimdall & yet [ four ] more
judging [quietly] and nodding with [ subtlety ]
the age of [ Ragnarok ] is [not] here for [keeps]
yet it [ seems ] at [ times ] so long and [evocative]
and suddenly [ feels ] like it's [ taking ] a [ nap ] now .

( * yes, indeed, Dakotian is a reference to Mt. Rushmore )

that means

this is book #6

of a series of 6 books

book #6 was written

in the span of 2 years

from sep 2005 to aug 2007

one might care to ask:

how come it's published first?

even though it is the series' last one

...

i really don't have an answer there

.

in fact, this kind of prologue

has no real purpose whatsoever

except 4 the chapters to be 12

consisting timely of 10 dreams

and don't forget the end notes

& the text you're reading here
