    Should I actually be concerned about the two cents if my death does not linger, or would that be a matter for my heirs and assignees?

    Yes, yes, but what am I buying when I get there?

    Must find out where exactly this place is located, so that one can ultimately avoid it..

    I don’t see a price list for going up the down stairway.

    So, by my reckoning, Martin Balsam or his estate had to pay $1.70.

    My favorite part was “Only”.

    P.S. The little hangy downy curly part of the y was classic Teresa.

    Trumpee government bought my stairs.

    I used to be able to go up and down for free.

    Now I look forward to lingering death.

    “Very good!” it said, "Your game is improving. The “don’t want to play that game” interference is likely from Sing Child Sing, by Heart, which always makes you anxious and is probably running elsewhere in your unconscious. You’ve almost forgotten your assumed character and are nearly lucid! The fact is, you don’t remember a girl of eleven summers, her parents or even her name. You don’t know the town, her friends or her interests. You don’t know anything about the person whose innocence you have appropriated. You have only this vague and non-specific construct. And your own fears and insecurities are beginning to break through the illusion. Unfortunately, that means this dream is nearly over, and the current REM cycle will soon terminate."

    Whatever you do, don’t let the Tiny Dancer mayor of Chicago and hia league of little alderlemmings see this! They’ll pass an instant ordinance requiring such payment on all stairways in Chicago. —Except that the fees will be much higher. And then they’ll pile taxes on, too!

    Arrgh! Now you’ve gone and let the genie out of the bottle, Sr. Teresa! We’re all doomed to further gummymint exploitation!

    How much do I owe if I fall going up the stairs? It is one of my many talents.
