Worldbuilding[]
Jenny Everywhere[]
- The Jenny featured in this story is primarily the one used by Scott Sanford from PROSE: Parallax onwards as his “default” Jenny; however, she spends most of the story asleep enjoying the perceptions of another reality's Jenny.
Universes[]
- Jenny is physically in bed in her own universe, but observes events in another in her dreams.
Other[]
- Noting that the frogs are signing “a six voice polyphonic madrigal”, Jenny thinks to herself that “Bach would approve” and “so would those Mormons at the Tabernacle”.

Background[]
When releasing the story on Dreamwidth in 2022, Scott Sanford appended some commentary to the story:
| The other night I was at the keyboard and this popped out. It’s arguably not a story, although Ficly had posts shorter and less coherent, but it stands as a quiet interlude in the often noisy life of Jenny Everywhere. Like Awakening, it can be enjoyed as a mood piece. |
