    We'd only know if we could read their mind.

    I think it's significant they are dark and the room lights were off.

    Chapter 2

    Intruders who aren't intruders. What type creatures could these be . Imps, pixies, grenlins? Other than the missing wishes, they don't seem malicious. Why didn't they just line of sight teleport in front of them?
  4. You don't really expect a bright story connected to the horrors and loss of World Was I. However, Brian pulls it off here. This is an uplifting tale which bridges the supernatural and romance. An enjoyable read.

    Chapter 7

    Promises made and promises kept. In his way, Alfie has come home at last and in turn led Robbert to his ancestral twin. A very uplifting Christmas tale. Thank you, Brian!
  6. I had a friend who would exhibit the most cartoonish aspects of anger when he got mad. His entire head would take on a rubicund flush, his jaws would clentch, his breathing would become heavy, and a vein at his temple would enlarge and throb.

    And it's a couple of days earlier than promised. What a nice surprise!

    Chapter 1

    "You can't make an adventure, sweeties. It has to happen!" Stolen wishes will be a hard one to stake out. Despite the problem, it's wonderful to be back in Twombley!
  11. Rhapsodic is frequently used describing music.
  12. The lower idiom of 'chewing the cud' varies in meanings between cultures. In Africa, you would be spreading malicious gossip, but in Japan it becomes nurturing one's thoughts.

    The Sea, Pt. 1

    As you can imagine, freely sharing your raw experiences and deepest feelings is a very personal thing.

    Exactly!
  15. Qugmires are nasty things. Regardless of the kind, you have to ynderstand their nature to get out of them.

    Chapter 6

    "Bring me home and close the circle." Rather than Robert guiding Alfie, it seems Alfie is the guide. He's left Robert with a final task, but perhaps there is a promise of much more hidden inside.
  17. Shame. It made for a softer entry into real school.
  18. The same practice followed to the first grade. No idea if it's still done.
  19. The guy who got strung up was deliriously happy to be let down.
  20. It's in the eye and mind of the beholder. I've always thought normal was overrated. I like Abby Normal myself.
  21. Don Quixote, the outrageous hero of Cervantes' novel Don Quixote de la Mancha, is the basis for this word.

    Chapter 5

    Alfie has little choice but to return each night seeking Patrick.

    Chapter 5

    As I thought, Alfie doesn’t know he's dead and evidently has a short time memory in his state. He has been stuck in this lonely loop searching for Patrick. Now he knows Patrick's name, Robert can find out if he survived the war. He can also retrieve Alfie's journal. The question is, how does Robert break the loop so Alfie can move on.
  24. The Greeks love those K words.
