Faron had to do something. “…when I went to get out of the truck, the coma kicked in. This is all a coma-induced dream. It’s amazing.” Patrick Duncan didn’t expect his favorite hottie from the diner to find him crying in a rusty truck, and he definitely didn’t expect to collapse in a coma-dream straight afterward.
