Ganzer and Morse settle into their regular seats at the café. In this alternative future, dream fabrications are the basis of society, from providing an alternative to TV to supplying menus and holograms. As dream-fabbers, Ganzer and Morse supply their dystopian society with crafted dream experiences, specializing in horror. But their business is struggling as people turn to other dreams, and Ganzer must create something new to keep their dream-fabbing appealing to their manager.

He and Morse are approached by new, trending dream-fabbers hoping to speak to their manager but they refuse them. When their manager arrives only a few moments later, Ganzer pitches his new idea – a microcellular dream where a man transforms into a paramecium, terrifying his wife into killing him. Their manager is skeptical, claiming the pair needs a piece of ribbonwear technology, a new innovation capable of bringing dreams into reality.

Ganzer grabs a piece of ribbonwear supplied by the trending dream-fabbers and stabs it into his own head. He transforms into a paramecium, and the waitress comes and slits him open with a knife. As Morse watches in horror, the manager begins to transform into Ganzer. Morse tells him to keep dreaming.
