All tagged sunset

Master Mind has brought Amahle from her dream back to Justin’s dream, where we’re all waiting for her.

Back on the deck of Bonny’s Revenge, Elvis, her seeing eye dog reappears. Along with the cane in her right hand, which she moves to her left.

We wait for her to explain what the danger was that she sensed around us before she disappeared and woke up.

“I do not know what it was,” Amahle says. “I have never felt anything like it. It felt like someone was hitting me in the head.”

“What?” Joy is concerned. After all, nothing had been close to any of our heads.

“It was a pounding,” Amahle continues. “From inside my head. Like something was pushing me to the ground.”

There is a deep sense of strangeness when Amahle disappears. Johannesburg disappears. The sunset disappears. And the full light of the two suns return. The half-darkness, was caused by Amahle. Now that I think about it, its creation was also aided by Joy holding Amahle’s hand.

And then there’s silence. Strange, awkward silence.

“What the hell happened?” Colin asks.

Joy is looking at her own hands.

“Joy,” Justin moves closer to her. “Do you know what happened? Do you know what she was talking about?”

“Joy, do you want to see a sunset from Japan?” Yumio says.

“Yuh-huh.”

Everything around us changes. In front of us is a river. Far ahead is a mountain, and the sun is setting behind it, its orange colors spreading across not only the sky but the mountain and the river.

Joy stares at it with eyes agape. Suzy gasps. Madelyn takes in a deep breath.

“Fantastic!” Colin said. “Where are we?”

“Why are we here, Madelyn?” Justin says.

She had asked to take us to the middle of the ocean.

“I think it is time to show little Zhoy the things she cannot see in this world.”

“Like what?” Joy says.

“Zhoy, in this world you can see anything. But one thing you have never seen, I believe, is a sunset.”

“What’s a sunset?”

“In the…uhm…waking world,” Madelyn says. “The sun rises on one side, goes up, and goes down on the other side.”
