Hooray, I'm glad you're enjoying it!! I'm still working on it, but I've hit a difficult spot. We've established that the dead bodies are real, which means the Jeff Hope's dead body has got to be real, which means that John has to "really" shoot him, and...how is that going to work? Hmm.

This is turning out to be quite a fun universe to think about...the interplay of real and not real. Thanks for a neat prompt. :-) I hope I can keep it rolling.
