Everything Will Go Back To Normal

“Where's your associate?”

“He's looking for parking. As I was saying...”

“Long and pointy car? I saw it. Circled the block a few times. I like watching traffic. Do you like looking down at the streets?”

“Everybody does. So a presentation about presentations begins. At a certain point another team enters and begins a mock presentation. This will reference past presentations, including some historic presentations. And then...”

“What's the best stuff you ever crawled over?”

“Oh, desert sand, definitely.”

“I knew it! I have to try it sometime.”

“You should. Finally, the presentation concludes with a presentation on the fundamentals of presentations and the method in which presentations are...”

“I kissed a dolphin once.”

“You what?”

“Kissed a dolphin. Not on the mouth.”

“How was it?”

“Salty. Wait, are you talking about recursive presentations? Layers of presentations within presentations? Which you've symbolized, somewhat clumsily, by the arrangement of these chairs?”

“Yes, exactly. Thank you.”

“Isn't there a danger of the presentation imploding?”

“That's what I'm counting on. It will be a trap for the cultists. The presentation will collapse on itself and pull them in with it. They'll never escape.”

“That's a pretty extreme solution. I like it. Will any of our people be trapped too? Never mind, we'll do it! What choice do we have? No more nightmares! Everything will go back to normal.”

“Yes. I can get started on...”

“Rocket car! Rocket car going by!”
