You are exactly where you are supposed to be. For the next little while we invite you to leave behind the comfortable certainty of the everyday world and accompany us to a place that exists just beyond it. A narrow country between reason and imagination, between memory and invention, between what is known and what is merely believed. I 'll be your guide. Not a real guide, you understand. Merely a voice. A companion for the journey. A whisper in the static. A thought that escaped from the edge of a dream and found a home among the airwaves. Tonight we'll meet people who have become lost in circumstances they do not understand. We shall encounter mysteries so ordinary they pass unnoticed, and ideas so unreasonable they begin, gradually and politely, to make sense. You may hear something familiar. A phrase. A face. A memory. Do not be alarmed. The mind has a habit of collecting such things and carrying them long after their usefulness has expired. And should you find yourself wondering whether you have heard all this before, whether this moment has happened already, whether somewhere in the darkness a story is quietly repeating itself, then take comfort from the fact that you are not alone. Others have wondered the same thing. Some of them are still wondering. You are approaching a region where certainty becomes negotiable, where reason occasionally takes an evening off, and where reality itself is subject to revision without notice. You are on the threshold of a dream, perhaps a nightmare. Come on in and take a seat. It's about to begin.
