David meets Helen. There is instant rapport. What could go wrong? Sod's law says if it can go wrong it will go wrong, probably catastrophically. Can they ever beat Sod at his evil game? This is a long, slow meandering story, you have been warned.
A young man, haunted by disease and sorrow, faces his own death and the eternity that lies beyond human comprehension. The only thing giving him the will to live is a mysterious vision, a girl that exists only in his dreams, but the closer he gets to his death, the more the line between dream and reality blurs.
