A storm brews off the coast of California. A young couple is evacuating their new home in the recently built suburb of San Onofre. A Category 7 hurricane has arrived and brought with it a massive storm surge. Climate Change has brought so many hurricanes that we stopped naming them. This behemoth is simply named CA81. The 81st storm this year.

News hits the country that the newly refurbished San Onofre Reactors have melted down, releasing massive amounts of radiation in the surrounding areas. Our young couple never showed any signs of radiation poisoning, so they move on from the unlucky turn of events and found a home elsewhere.

One of the oldest stories comes from Master Zhuang(zwaang) in his book Zhuangzi (zwaangzuh). The Butterfly Dream tells the story of a man who finds himself dreaming about being a butterfly. He has no recollection of being a man, but he awakes to find himself a man once more. He begins to worry as he cannot distinguish if he is a man who dreams of being a butterfly or a butterfly who dreams of being a man.
