Awesome story! Beautiful description of the desert planet and John's perception of it and the people. I bought it from the beginning. Nice twist with it being a Wraith Queen's attempt to get him to reveal the address to Atlantis. Did the Queen create it all or did John have some control over what he saw/experienced? Always love the team coming together at the end. -Diane

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and that the end twist was a surprise. The queen had most of the control over what John saw (although his mind filled in some of the smaller details), so that she could manipulate it and insert herself into the dream-world, but reality kept trying to break through the illusion.

Oh, that was great! Awesome details and descriptions, from John's in-and-out-of-it confussion to the heat and thirst. Really excellent.
