Let's Get Real For A Second! So, Allen gives The Dreaming Boy is a Realist, and... well, he kinda wish he didn't. I guess it's kind of telling when he hopes that our main lead would wake up at the end and finding out it has all been a dream. Yikes. Well, let's all hunker down and hope things will look up next week. See you all then. -Stig Høgset.
