“I’m ready to tell you my secret now.”

“I see wedges.”
“In your dreams?

Wedges, as in electronic typewriters?”
[Cole nods] “Typing like regular typewriters. They only type when you plug ’em in. They don’t know they’re not real typewriters.”
“How often do you see them?”
“All the time.”

More typewriter-related nonsense (and perhaps a few more wedges) in 2018 …
Merry Xmas one and all!
Thanks Michael, yes imagination and a variation in colour other than grey/beige goes a long way!
