Yes, that was my point. Has he been leading two lives, either literally or metaphorically?

Hmm... I wonder what the subject has to say about this....
Would R.F. be willing to give out the subject's e-mail address?
I'd ask him, but I don't know for sure if it's a good time to.
And Samuel still hasn't replied my last email, so I guess he's told me all he can for the moment.

Why wouldn't it be a good time to ask him?
I wonder when we'll hear from him again, I was really expecting an update after his late night excursion into the woods with his neighbor and the gun.
I think leaving him a comment might help to solicit a response from him (if he's ok after last night).

Thanks waitress Smile I need a confidence boost sometimes.
I inquired R.F. for the subject's email address.
If he really is keeping in touch with the subject, that shouldn't be a problem.
If it is, indeed, an impossibility, as Samuel said it would be, he may give us an email address that could help, whether he knows it or not.
Or he may just say that our subject declined to give out this information....

Things I noticed from the "Half Real" post:

We are continually seeing the following imagery:
green (green truck, pen, ink).
Black fluid is mentioned (also from car wreck).
Slushing noise (black fluid, water from car wreck).

Does the color green hold significance to R.F.?

Any thoughts?

One of the books he mentions finding in the squatter's shack "Johnny Got His Gun" has imagery similar to the way he said his wife's face looked in his hallucination.

Quote:
A World War I-era American soldier in a hospital realizes that he was hit by an artillery shell and lost his arms, legs, ears, eyes and most of his face. The remaining torso and head is being kept alive by machines. He lies and thinks about his life for several years before realizing that he can use his head to tap out morse code, but the banging is ignored by his regular nurses and doctors until one Christmas, when a different nurse realizes what he is trying to do. He is finally able to communicate and he asks someone to help him leave the hospital or die. Neither of his wishes is granted.

I guess we could ask him about the color green having significance for him...but black fluid and faceless people? I don't think he knows. We really need to know what he experienced.
It sounds like we may be able to ask Greg some questions.

Good God, is that the whole book? Jesus...

I have an odd feeling that Greg won't be much different from R.F.
All of these people were victims, even Samuel was.
If Sam's right, Greg will be as unreliable as R.F.
Still, he could have something Smile

EDIT: That yellowed note tells me that the squatter may have been involved in Red King and probably was trying to contact R.F. by camping out in a shack.
Either that or it was written by R.F. himself....
The experience is pretty bizarre. R.F. being chased by fingers and hands?
And the figure (the dream cop?) telling him not to go the way he went... That's not something a malign person would say....
Could this figure in the shack be good?

No that isn't the whole book! It's just the part about a man who has lost most of his face and is hooked up to a machine to stay alive. It sounds like the books and the notepad were not real anyway. According to the police (?) there had been nothing there besides bedding, a chair and a couple of cans of food.

This post is the most confusing so far. It would be nice to have the neighbor's account of what happened.

I hadn't thought about the figure being the dream cop. I don't know what to think. Confused

Phew.... Sorry, I've read short stories that had storylines as hopeless as that poor guy's. I had to ask.

Neither do I. If Samuel's right, then we should stop listening to R.F. altogether, however, if he's wrong... then R.F. is probably being contacted by something supernatural.
If it WAS the dream cop in the shack, and he really was trying to protect him, this story will probably get A LOT stranger. And a lot more interesting Smile.
EDIT: I'd also like to add that this is a dream themed trailhead.
Perhaps in this little game, the dream world is more real than one would think....

wow, interesting post on the blog, about the adventure in the woods. i have only a few thoughts... really.

Quote:
I took a small notebook, a couple of pens, and a flashlight


could good ol' r.f. have written the note in his pocket himself? he never mentions what kinds of pens or notebook he took with him.

no email response from samuel. i hope we get some true interaction going on. the story is interesting, and i can't wait to be able to pry more information out of someone.

also, Johnny Got His Gun is a flippin great book.

for some excerpts, check here...

It seems that certain things (people?) trigger R.F's hallucinations. The man in the restarunt, the squatter etc. I wonder if there is someone, something or some organization that is controlling his hallucinations. I think it might be useful to know the company that backed the Red King Project and the company that is currently backing his latest project.

Also perhaps the 2 black and white images are related to his current research .

This all seems kind of like Silent Hill with two realities and R.F. can not control which realm he is in. I agree that perhaps these hallucinations are more real than R.F. or we think.

Samuel Tyler

I sent this email to Samuel last night

Quote:
He went out last night with a neighbor to confront a squatter on his land. He hasn't updated with any news, and I'm concerned. (they took a gun) I have no clue if the squatter was real or imagined, but I'll bet the gun was real.

Are you his friend Sammy? If you are is there some way you can check if he's ok? It has me worried.

He responded today with this.


Quote:
I see it is too late for me to do anything now. I have not really been around for the past couple of days.

I do not think R.F. seems me as a friend.

I still don't know if Samuel is Sammy. Confused

Maybe it means nothing but I think there's a possibility that Sam seeming less intelligent than RF might be important. He makes quite a few spelling and grammatical errors in his emails.

I agree we really can't make any conclusions about which versions to believe. If it truly is a big conspiracy theory, perhaps the memories of the neighbor wife and police could be manipulated as well

On another note does anyone know if Johnny Got his Gun was made into a movie and/or if clips were subsequently used in a Metallica video. The plot sounds suspicially like what I saw in the video. It was so disturbing I nearly cried
