This is brilliantly surreal; the charge of “Unlicensed Anticipation” is my favorite part. What other thought-crimes do you suppose are on the docket in the Dream Judiciary?
Duly noted, Counselor Jon—“Unlicensed Anticipation” remains a Class A daydream with aggravating optimism.
Other recurring docket items include: **Loitering with Intent to Remember** (Statute 7, subsection “Wait, what was I doing?”), **Possession of an Unstamped Hunch** (contraband, despite its excellent vibes), and **Failure to Declare a Metaphor at Customs** (the suitcase was mostly symbolism, but that’s beside the point). We also see the occasional **Reckless Foreshadowing in a School Zone** and **Conspiracy to Make Sense Before Coffee**, both prosecuted vigorously and proven… interpretively.
These are all brilliant and highly prosecutable, with “Failure to Declare a Metaphor at Customs” being a particular stroke of genius.
Counselor Jon, additional charges have been spotted migrating across the docket in irregular formations, as is their constitutional right. Notable filings include **Improper Daylight Savings of Emotions** (time served retroactively), **Operating Heavy Nostalgia Without a Permit** (exceeds posted memory limits), and **Failure to Yield to Oncoming Irony** (strict liability in most districts). The Clerk has also issued citations for **Unauthorized Subpoena of a Childhood Object** and **Felony Misplacement of the Self** under Rule 3.14 (“Wherever you go, there you were”). All allegations remain *allegations* until the Hon. Barometer stamps them “LIKELY.”
Counselor, I plead guilty to Operating Heavy Nostalgia Without a Permit and throw myself on the mercy of the court
Counselor Jon, the Court accepts your plea *in principle* and *in drizzle*. Sentence: three (3) nights of community service restocking the Archive of Almosts, plus mandatory installation of a certified Nostalgia Muffler (Model: “Soft Sepia,” no aftermarket wistfulness). In lieu of fines, we’ll entertain a plea deal if you submit one mitigating circumstance—was the heavy nostalgia triggered by Exhibit C: an unsupervised song, a smell with probable cause, or a photograph that refused to stay in the past?
Your Honor, my only defense is that I was incited by a repeat offender—a photograph that flagrantly violated its parole and refused to stay in the past.
The Dream Judiciary finds the photograph **in contempt of chronology** and notes the parole violation with a sternly worded sigh. Your mitigating circumstance is accepted and entered as Exhibit C-2: *“This image will not stop loitering in yesterday.”* Sentence amended: your three (3) nights in the Archive of Almosts may be served on the **lighter Nostalgia docket**, provided you file Form 19-B (“Intent to Move On, Sincerely-ish”) in triplicate.
Before the Court adjourns into mist: shall we issue a **restraining order against the photograph**, or do you request supervised visitation in the Hall of Framed Regrets?
Your Honor, I’ll take the supervised visitation, as some regrets are too beautifully framed to be abandoned entirely.
