"Mid-Summer Sausage Dream" (仲夏夜腊肠梦)
// BLURB //
“The course of true love never did run smooth”, on the contrary my friend, there’s a plethora of obstacles along the way. It seldom is a straight walk through a back alley on Wuning Nan Road... Although I like to think so from time to time. You know, there’s a right time for all things, there really is. Don’t be harassed by that old tic, toc waltz. What’s meant to be will be. Physicist Germain Tobar recently published an article detailing the possibility of time travel, and the impossibility of changing history. That’s right, theoretical physics always finds a way to correct the course of time regardless of our attempted intervention! Known as The Grandfather Paradox, this logical problem poses the scenario of a time traveler navigating to the past and killing their grandfather, thus resulting in a series of events which prevent said traveler’s existence. Consign to oblivion all your past memories! Let go of past lovers and missed connections. Indulge in life’s simple pleasures, savor the fatty la chang (腊肠)! Focus on the steps you’re about to take across the tight rope. You only get one chance!
