What if

Warning: Before Sunset-type thinking could drive you crazy.

What if I hadn't gotten on that plane? What if he'd written sooner? What if I'd quit my job and moved back to Mexico? What if I'd visited Europe? What if he'd moved to the States? What if I'd moved to New York?

"Man, I just had the weirdest dream, back on the bus there…There was this book I read, well, it was my dream so I guess I wrote it or something. But man, it was bizarre…it was like the premise for this whole book was that every thought you have creates its own reality, you know? It's like every choice or decision you make…the thing you chose not to do fractions off and becomes its own reality…I mean, it's like…you know in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy meets the Scarecrow and they do that little dance at the crossroads and they think about going down all these different roads and end up going in that one direction? All those other directions, just because you thought about them, became separate realities. I mean, they just went on from there and lived their lives, entirely different movies, but we'll never see it because we're trapped in this one reality restriction type thing."
~Richard Linklater, Slacker

Because, what if...
