Re: Andy Robinson's short story, I read it, and I agree, it got weird (trippy in some spots) right after his arrival in Paris. I remember thinking 'hey wait, when did he enter the Vinculum now? Is this like a second trip (see what I did there?) to it or something?' I remember reading from an interview that it's a follow-up to The Dream Box, so I suppose you'd have to have seen it to understand the story. :/

I think you’re right–I think it was supposed to be that he’d been tricked into entering the Vinculum in order to dispose of him without killing him. When he awoke, he was years older.

I think you’re also right about needing to see The Dream Box to really get what’s going on. Oh, well. Maybe one day someone who’s seen it, in one of its myriad variations, will hear our questioning howls and describe it for us more fully!
