    About this ebook

    Bill Boudreau allows his Alter Ego, named Guillaume, to explore the crypts of his subconscious. He takes you in a surreal world.

    An orator offers morbid views of what is and predicts what could be.

    In fragmented dreams, he confronts unsettling images of culture.

    Wandering in the corridors of his psyche, Guillaume meets an escort who ushers him on a disturbing journey.

    And, seeking answers, Guillaume holds dialogue with three wise men who give him a perception on life— the past, present, and future.
