2. An Ideal Swap

Clio Aeschylus, an Ancient Greek muse, wants to inspire the next generation of human artists. She thought she had this in Jacob Thorne, an aspiring Australian writer. Nonetheless, even with being faced with the time-frame possibilities of pandemic isolation, inspiring him is near impossible. The only thing provoking a reaction out of him these days is rage against world leadership. One morning Clio activates Google Chromecast to show Donald Trump talking about injecting disinfectant into Covid victims. Not only does she get the opposite of what she was expecting, a bizarre chain of events ensues, leading her to return to the dreamland and deliver bad news. REM Waking World (Just like in episode 1 - this installment was produced in remote isolation, with performers in various locations recording via video conferencing and mobile phone.)
