We are renting an apartment for the purpose of Time Travel. The apartment is a small living room dominated by a small heated indoor pool. We peel back the cover to find the dishes mostly undone. Underneath the dishwater we find the plug to the deeper chamber. There are some last-minute misgivings but all three of us are committed to the journey. We will dive to the bottom and submerge inside our own small amniotic chambers. Our bodies will rest here while our minds take journeys into the past and future that cannot be predicted. The duration of the journey will be a single afternoon but may feel like a succession of eternities. It's hard to make the leap.

Jeremy Irons stars in a cyclical biopic about my fate as a framed man. In the first act, I am a rich and powerful man, greeted by Miranda Richardson and Kate Winslet in a convertible, an irresistible mother-daughter team. As I slip into the back seat, with my bodyguard next to me in drag, the ladies in the front seat put on their male wigs and mustaches. The next morning I wake up in captivity. Most of my organs have been stolen, and I am trapped in an unknown high rise, at an unknown time and place, facing trial for deeds that cannot be disclosed to me for security reasons. The trial is a sham, but it is not clear who it is intended to deceive. To cement their case, the prosecution shows footage of my career as a rich and powerful man. For the first time I consider my own guilt—or worse, that I may have colluded in my own framing.

It turns out the black dog is not dead; they had just told us that to ease the sting that came with giving her away to another owner. Walking her to the beach, we pass a cat's carcass submerged in the wet sand. Two passenger jets are floating on the stormy tide, with two blue plastic helicopters there to rescue them.
