Abstract
I dreamt I was being led down a green corridor to a green gas chamber, like Caryl Chessman. I knew the procedure, so I wasn’t worried. The executioner was talking to me through a mesh grating, like a microphone or a confessional. He told me to hold my breath when I hear the pellet drop. But, suddenly, I panicked, fearing that maybe I didn’t know the process as well as I thought I did, and I didn’t want to die!
