It seems the author was grasping at thin air.ġ7. This was neither foreshadowed in the first act nor can it be considered a reasonable heightening of what we’ve seen before. Goodnight inspiration.įor reasons best known to the author, goodnight is now being wished to air itself. Many Moonheads have plummed their depths for hidden meaning, but have always come up short.Īppearing a mere seven pages into the story, here is just a lazy reprint of the book’s title.

A clear indication that the well was running dry, this page was for nobody.
