We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

I believe this bit comes in between the "It's a Wonderful Life"-type dream, and the part where she sees the ghost of a woman who was Michael's wife in another lifetime, so...things do start to seem surrealy factual by that point.

You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that.
With my first drafts, I usually end up keeping about 75% of what's there, but what's there almost always winds up getting rearranged.
