The denizens of a small Maine town deal with the collapse of society when Judi Dench suddenly appears and hovers in the sky above them.

He’s here.

[cornchak]

Hello? Have you been hiding from us in plain sight this whole time?

[findthestarlight]

[cornchak]

Hmm.  Is this the dedication page for Near and Far?  If so, and if M knows Ellie, then perhaps he is the one reminiscing about her in the 12:42 pm story.

Just thinking about ways to think about coins.

[cornchak]

I've figured you out, M (or should I say "Mickey").

It sounds like someone has crossed through time’s river.

that I must tell you that this story must wait for now.

For how long I cannot say. I control many things in this world, but time and the will of others are not two of those things.

You have always known this story is not another story. It’s not a story we can approach and take from it what we...

[cornchak]

I've heard it said that the waiting is the hardest part. But I don't think that is true. I think it is the not knowing that is the hardest part.  And now we know. And we wait.

FTS Pilgrimage

On the 1st, on the way home from our holiday trip, the family and I are going to be stopping at Lookout Park in Summerland. Then on the 2nd, we will find ourselves in San Francisco, and a trip to Musee Mecanique is in the cards. I am pretty excited to see these places that have played such an important role in our story so far.

4:54 pm

The boy looked up from his hands. 

The man spoke. “What did you see?”

"I… I don’t know."

"Remember."

"I was in a house. Except it wasn’t a house. It was… something else. I… it’s gone.”

The man put a hand on the boy’s shoulder. “You know how to get back. And I’m afraid this time… it’s going to hurt.”

[cornchak]

Just want to keep tabs on this in case it is something in need of tabs.

This story very much reminds me of 12:42 pm (http://findthestarlight.com/post/40610594785/12-42-p-m) where the Receiver is looking out the window and remembering(?) Ellie's story.

For those of you who are interested, the aforementioned chat room developed by and used by followers of this story can be found here:

http://webchat.freenode.net

Simply choose a name, type “findthestarlight” as the channel, a click here, a thing there, and in you go.

This room and its community solved the previous chapter. I would not blame you for wanting to join them. They are a welcoming lot, I have noticed. And they may need you soon.

Or walk this path alone. I would certainly never fault you for doing so. That would be hypocritical of me.

I'm pretty much always logged in, and since this message I've seen a bunch of new faces pop in, find a dead room, and pop out.  Please know, if you are coming in to join us, that we will all be active and ready to welcome you as soon as things start happening. Don't let a quiet room deter you from returning when there is stuff to talk about.
