Richard Roe stood gazing out the window.

 

"Computer," he said, "I'm so in love with her I don't know what to do."

"And at night I have these dreams ... last night, a bizarre elevator near a mountainside, one of two, rising in arcs, right to left. I got in the weirdest one, near the bottom of the hill and rode it up."

 

–It's perfect! said the computer.

 

"It feels like some part of me is hanging by a thread."

 

–It's mystical.

 

"And visions. A few days ago something wrote 'savor' in my mind ... and before I could even read the letters in the word, something else wrote an 'e' over the 'a,' making it 'sever.' So there I was trying to read a message in my own mind, with something rewriting it faster than I could read it."

 

–It's perfect!

 

"The only reason I could read both 'sever' and 'savor' was by remembering."

 

–It's perfect! said the computer.

 

"It's as if my entire mind is some kind of battleground. And what I do is ... nothing?"

 

–It's perfect!

 

"Well, that just made a chill run up my spine."

 

–It's perfect!
