conversations.value: **1933**
  
  The windows to The Behind opened when your grandparents were children. The war between the states had been raging for three years when the strange reports started. Wars always have their own myths, their own stories of monsters or angels on the battlefield, but the things that were happening were not limited to the parts of the nation ravaged by war. 
  
  Small winged lizards infested New York City, scuttering out each ethereal window that opened, like rats fleeings a sinking ship, and have 70 years later become as much a symbol of the city as Statue of Liberty. 
  
  Those things that physically make it to our world from The Behind are usually small - rodents, bugs, strange pockets of weather that flit through the open windows. The dreams that leak out infest every mind close enough to a window. The dreams of children are never the same. Some nights a child will be lost in a maze of thorns pursued endlessly by a monster with three heads, the next night they might be kings and queens on great sailing ships bound for the moon. 
  
  The dreams of the old are much the same, visions that return them to their childhood. For those in the middle, no longer children but not yet bent or slowed by age, the dreams can be provocative, alluring. Some find a single presence in their dreams who will return to them over and over, as familiar to them as those they meet in their waking life, even if their face is always unfocused in the fragile, uncertain images of dreams. 
  
  Your parents were the first generation born altered by The Behind. The changes are subtle and those affected often do not know until they mature. They have strange colors in hair and eyes, strange skills or unusual hobbies. Some have knowledge of things and places they have no business knowing. They have a stronger connection to The Behind and where there are many of them, more windows start to open, more people start to have dreams. 
  
  The windows in Vernon, Iowa have been there all your life, all your parent’s lives, since the time when your grandparents ran wild in the fields of their parent’s farms. They are a part of life in Vernon, the way they are in so many places, but they have not saved you. Like every farm town, every little dot on the dry plains of the American Midwest, Vernon is dying. The bank now owns the farms were families work, holds the mortgage on the corner store where you’ve shopped all your life. 
  
  Some families are packing up to leave Vernon, others are digging in, too stubborn to go.
