Forever Lost in an Unending Dream

Forty-two years, six months, and three days! I remember it clearly. I've been trapped in this damned dream for forty-two years, six months, and three days! If I'd known that falling asleep would condemn me to decades of misery, living in a world without family, a girlfriend, TV, or computers, where a knife is the ultimate weapon and a kerosene lamp the ultimate source of light, I swear I never would have gone to sleep.
