Look, you don’t know me. We’ve never met. But, like I said, I need you to listen…

I had the most disturbing dream the other night… Woke up in a cold sweat and couldn’t get back to sleep. It wasn’t a nightmare as such, just … eerie, I guess? I don’t even remember the details, but it left me with a real sense of foreboding. Weird thing about dreams, so clear when you have them, but the details fade so quickly… Vivid, yet fuzzy… And the strange logic that applies… Inconsistent flow of time… Disjointed cause and effect…

I’m rambling… The thing is, when I woke up, I found an odd magazine clipping on my bedside table. It feels so familiar, like I’ve had it for quite a while, but for some reason, I can’t remember how or when I acquired it. Wherever it came from, all I know is that it I gives me the same creepy feeling my dream did.

Anyway, the strangest part about all this is… And perhaps you won’t believe me… But, this piece of paper, I think…

…I think it’s meant for you.

Here’s a photo I took showing the whole page (click to enlarge):

I also took a scan of the main picture, but my intuition says it’s the least important part. I thought the text of the main “article” might be more useful to you, so I’ve transcribed it here:

Hopefully this all means more to you than it does to me…
