D. woke up. There were empty cheapies on the floor. A CSI episode was on the television. Along side the bed were notes which had this written on them.

The basics of the radio dream...

1) Threat- You have to have a threat or an opportunity that has to be solved or defeated.
2) Victim- There has to be a victim of that threat or an opportunity.
3) Villain- Great stories have a villain who is threatening the victim.
4) Hero- You need the person or group who provides the resolution to the threat and saves the day for the victim—hopefully he has some panache while he does it.

what about naomi? meaning it could be a visionary novel about conquering hierarchies with ideas and concepts,
like the radio dream it doesn't have to fit into that formula....
