conversations.value: ##"Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time."
  
  ***
  
  You've read those words a hundred times, at least. Maybe more. You just never thought they'd apply to *you*. 
  
  It sounded fun, back then. A grand adventure, never knowing if you were going to spend the day in this mundane world, or reliving an exciting moment in history. (Never mind that Billy Pilgrim probably *hated* it; you always thought he was a bit of a limp dishrag, anyway.)
  
  Now you're stuck in the same boat. 
  
  One day, you were living your life. Complacent, comfortable, and if not happy, at least accepting. The next, you're god-knows-where, doing god-knows-what, and stuck with god-knows-who.
  
  Worst of all, *it keeps happening*. 
  
  No warning, no seemingly visible trigger. A **blink** of the eye and you've traveled the length of the multiverse and landed in some alternate reality with no way out and no idea how long you're going to be there.
  
  You're beginning to sympathize with Billy Pilgrim.
