Abstraction - The saving grace for the damned

Legend goes that whenever the ostrich lands itself in trouble, it  buries its head deep into the sand as to
try and "escape" the immediate danger. Of course if such were the case, the ostrich would've gone extinct
long ago, but if this "escape" were to be applied not literally, but in a metaphysical way...

Scene:
Cobb is living an average life with the usual average elements required. By a quirk of probability, more
acceptable to humans as Fate, Cobb gets into trouble. Now... these troubles by virtue of their nature are
beyond Cobb's control, so try as much as he may, the outcome will be zilch. The trouble will last its
course and if Cobb survives, Cobb survives.

But there exists a solution and may or may not be the most perfect solution. Cobb can immerse himself
into metaphysical structures (aka dreams, aka imagination) and be lost in its depths infinitely. By this
way, Cobb is spared the misery of having to consider the everyday existence of his troubles.

Navigating through the realms of space and time where logic prevalent on Earth does not hold true (1+1
may or may not equal 2 here depending upon circumstance), Cobb will spiral into what promises to be
an endless adventure.

And the spiral begins when Cobb opens a bottle titled "Eat Me" and proceeds to swallow what looks
like a red pill...
