Is there one real world? Is everything we see, hear or the place we are real? The rebound phenomenon is a mystery. These questions take the protagonist to many different worlds arising from his experiences or in his imaginations. Mirrors retain memories, but we ourselves pass away. The protagonist travels through his own world of experiences, his thoughts are ageless, and he is each one of us. Is there any other, possible reality at all?
