Well, so far I have not seen anyone mention the most obvious thing about this fantasy. No it is not a dream, but a fantasy in Bob's twisted mind. Of course there was a massive time warp with the bullet on the floor as a start/end point. But the real trick here is Coleman. People think ! How is Bob's last name spelled ? Maconel . Hello, there was no Coleman. Shuffle the letters of Maconel and you get it...a classic technique of mystery writing using the anagram to wrap up the plot is a great clue to the stories meaning, agree ? I went through a lot of threads and I could not find this but someone else may have figured it out. I was pretty easy once you think about the similarity of the names and how the characters kept finishing each others sentences.
