Hackworth Awakes from a Dream Summary

Hackworth is having sex with someone he cannot identify. It all seems to him like a dream, the last of countless more.

He manages to crawl out through the tunnels and back to the park where he first encountered the woman. He finds Kidnapper still waiting for him. The mechanical horse is wearing his bowler on its head. Hackworth does not know how long he's been gone, but he knows that the horse and the hat have both turned partly green from growing moss. Hackworth himself is hairier and greyer than before.
