Flatten directory structure
All content files (*.txt, *.html, *.river) are now in /.
I did this to simplify the compilation step, and to make
linking easier.  I'm still thinking about whether I should
move the contents of js/, img/, and lua/ into /, or into
an 'assets' folder of some sort.  We'll see.

11Sometimes I feel as though I am not a real writer. \
12[I don't smoke][]. I don't wake up early but I don't sleep \
13all day either. I find myself increasingly interested \
14in dumb luck. Chance: I've found two dimes in as many \
15days. Does this mean I've found twenty lucky pennies? \
16I want you to participate. You the reader. You, \
17the probabilistic god of my dreams. I've been having \
18[strange dreams][] lately. I don't remember them but \
19they leave impressions. A bare foot. A tunnel \
20of hair from her face to mine. A boat stranded \
21in a living-room. Something warm. Something like the sun \
22through my eyelids. [A hand, with all its dead symbology][]. \
23[My teeth have fallen out][]. No, you pulled them out \
24with your hands, threw them over your left shoulder \
25[like salt][], to wish away bad luck. I have something \
26to tell you: bad luck follows like a dog. It lets you \
27get ahead for a few days, a week, a year. You'll see, \
28it'll bite your sleeping face when you're not looking. \
29I've been dreaming about the future, I know. In my dream \
30I am not a writer, [I live in a place with rain][]. You \
31are sunning yourself as you read this, on a beach or \
32maybe a desert. Let me move in with you. I can cook \
33[or clean][] or take care of your dog while you're out. \
34I'll never have to write again. [I'll watch television][]. \
35Do I want to become a writer? Tell me. Should I smoke? \
36I can sleep all day in your attic if you want, become \
37[your god][], lose my own, settle to the bottom of the bed \
38like a boat in a river, dream about nothing but [furniture][].
