Stately Xanadu

Because the most important thing he didn’t have—past budget and focus groups and 3D glasses—the thing that couldn’t tie his hands was PHYSICS. If a real car flying through the air didn’t look as great as he imagined, he could fix it. It didn’t have to be possible in life, it just had to work in his head.

And in that head, anything could work. He could bend reality in his hands.

Buildings tall enough to cast the right shadow. Fists that could shake the earth. A planet with horns. If reality was less than he needed, he’d get under the hood and rig it to be more. He’d fix the world itself.
