The River
C onstance tells me the Dude is Jack. She tells me Jack told her not to tell me earlier for reasons I should comprehend later.
But this later may never come.
In the middle of the crisis, stuck in the river, unable to row the boat to the shore, I turn my head back, watching the asylum.
It’s on fire. Burning like hell.
The Pillar must be dead now. So are at least half of Black Chess’ guards.
And Jack?
I only pray he is alive. I pray I’ll see him again one day and complete my little Wonderlastic family.
Until then, I have a war to win.
“What are we going to do Alice?” Constance asks.
“We’ll fight,” I say. “We have to get ashore and find the Pillar’s Wonder note.” I take deep breath. “And then I have to find out who this Mr. Jay really is.”
The END…
Alice will return in Mushrooms (Insanity 8)
