"
Do
you
have
any
idea
how
far
that
is
."
Says
the
taxi
driver
,
a
look
of
abject
incredulity
on
his
face
.
"
No
.
No
I
don't
."
You
say
. "
I
have
absolutely
no
idea
how
far
that
is
."
"
Well
...
Then
I
guess
that's
allright."
Says
the
driver
.
The
road
turns
beneath
you
like
a
conveyor
belt
.
The
sun
comes
up
and
goes
down
. Landscapes
turn
into
vistas
and
back
again
.
Time
loses
its
meaning
.
The
taxi
doesn't
stop
.
Maybe
you
slept
.
Maybe
you
dreamt
the
whole
thing
.
It
doesn't
matter
,
In
whatever
way
and
according
to
whatever
reality
you
choose
to
cling
to
,
you
have
arrived...
"
What
do
I
owe
you
?"
You
ask
the
driver
.
"
This
one's
on
me
."
He
says
. "
Any
friend
of
Fire
&Roses
is
a
friend
of
mine
."
You
open
the
door
and
step
out
into
