- After
- a
- subservient
- marriage,
- Victoria
- is
- a
- woman
- in
- control.
- Winning
- the
- lottery
- affords
- her
- every
- luxury.
- She
- is
- divorced
- now,
- collecting
- lovers
- with
- the
- same
- insatiable
- appetite
- that
- she
- shops
- for
- couture.
- Nothing
- reassures
- her
- because
- childhood
- never
- met
- her
- basic
- needs.
- She
- self-soothes
- by
- sleepwalking
- a
- safe
- path
- into
- adulthood.
- But
- Victoria's
- safety
- shatters
- when
- her
- lover
- turns
- thief.A
- prison
- cook
- dreams
- about
- Thai
- food.
- Unlike
- Victoria,
- Nathan
- has
- few
- choices
- and
- fewer
- resources.
- But
- his
- sentence
- does
- not
- define
- him.
- He
- relies
- on
- his
- skills
- to
- define
- him,
- serving
- humor
- with
- the
- oatmeal.
- He
- plans
- to
- reinvent
- himself
- after
- he
- does
- his
- time,
- cooking
- the
- food
- of
- his
- dreams.
- Six
- degrees
- of
- paperwork
- later,
- Nathan's
- death
- spills
- into
- Irene's
- life
- when
- her
- office
- receives
- his
- death
- certificate.
- Irene
- handles
- the
- intrusion
- with
- the
- actuarial
- efficiency
- she
- applies
- to
- her
- choices.
- She
- lives
- mindfully.
- However,
- work
- obligations
- trump
- logic
- and
- Irene
- must
- ignore
- the
- risk
- analysis.In
- 6
- BY
- 6,
- six
- very
- different
- people
- die
- while
- they
- lucidly
- dream.
- They
- control
- their
- consciousness
- through
- dream
- states,
- and
- feel
- empowered,
- at
- least
- at
- night.
- But
- eventually,
- they
- all
- lose
- control
- of
- sleep
- and
- waking
- states
- when
- lucid
- dreaming
- collides
- with
- reality.
- This
- is
- a
- work
- of
- literary
- fiction
- about
- choices
- made
- in
- life
- and
- how
- they
- affect death.
