Linda in the Sky with Diamonds
When I met Linda at the shophouse I was already drunk. I was only twenty years old then, twenty and terrified of women. I had just got out of two terrible relationships and had no desire to get into another, so when Linda invited me to spend the night with her I almost refused—and I would have refused her, too, if she didn’t tempt me by offering me drugs.

The Louvre, December 2022: I'm standing in front of the painting I wanted to see in person ever since I read about it for the first time nearly 25 years ago. "La Grande Odalisque" fascinates me endlessly and I can spend hours studying its details.

I originally considered spinning a fictional yarn about the mural I chose for the cover of this piece. There's certainly more than enough going on in the painting to spark any number of creative fires. Heck, it's even got a cat (two of them in the full mural)! After a bit more thought, I realized the true backstory behind the artwork is inspiring and heartwarming enough to stand on its own.

( Credit: The Persistence of Memory, Salvador Dali 1931) Imagine waking up in a world that's as elusive as a dream, yet vividly tangible - a world where the landscapes whisper tales of surrealism, and time, rather than ruling, becomes an abstract concept. This is a world uncannily reminiscent of Salvador Dalí's "The Persistence of Memory," where time does not merely pass—it bends, warps, and finally, melts away.
