Some favourite quotes: "Wuyin’s fish were now small, resentful creatures, filled with scattered needle bones and tasting like sand." "The villagers believed in spinning wheels and boiling vats, not miracles wrought by an old man’s song."

Summary: In a world where humans are born and die in the virtual reality of Dreamscape, their happy lives curated by the AI Hypnos, Caretaker Zishun struggles with the morality of keeping humanity asleep vs. waking everyone up to an environmentally-ravaged reality.

Fun facts: - My second publication with Clarkesworld - Story is distantly related to "The Last Fugu House of Shimonoseki" (frictionlit.org/the-last-fug…), with the Dreamscape taken to its logical conclusion - I've had this idea since 2017, and finally wrote the story this year
