Jimmy was walking to school one day when he tripped over a rock and fell. With a jolt, Jimmy woke up from the dream only to remember that he never walks to school.What does this passage mean?!?!Does Jimmy represent the US empire falling only to wake up and realise the empire was all just a dream?

Or are we simply applying the story to our lives?This is exactly what James, Paddy, and Phoenix dissect in this episode of Prose and Cons.STEPHEN KING REFERENCE COUNTER: 0 TODAY, 115 TOTALSend us a message!Contact us at: precipicefiction.com/contact/=============================================This is Prose & Cons - a podcast for emerging writers, by emerging writers.
