“Milton Gomrath spent his days dreaming of a better life. He worked as a garbage collector, emptying trash into a truck. While the truck made loud noises—clomp, grunch, grunch—Milton would get lost in his thoughts. He didn’t like the truck, his small room, or the gray, boring days. His dreams were full of what could have been, and since there were so many things he was not, his dreams were beautiful.”
