"I see all of these people. They're living and breathing and acting on their basest impulses. I lay in a coma. They live. I hover over all of them, all at once. I can see my body, motionless, wired up, adrift. And I can find out why this happened. This is my story and I won't remember any of it when--if--I wake up. But I'll try to remember--I'll try damn hard." MIDDLETON, MONTANA --OCTOBER 2004--AN ELECTION YEAR While Chris Bullet remains unresponsive in a coma, his skull shattered, he floats above dire circumstance.
