I opened my eyes upon a strange and weird landscape. I knew that I was on Mars; not once did I question either my sanity or my wakefulness. I was not asleep, no need for pinching here; my inner consciousness told me as plainly that I was upon Mars as your conscious mind tells you that you are upon Earth. You do not question the fact; neither did I.
What fact do you not question but ought to?
Of course, I felt the same way whenever I visited my late uncle’s trailer in Hemet.
Love Edgar Rice Burroughs!
