What a light-hearted chapter…minus the ending of course.:) I loved how you described Magic Mountain, you brought me right back to that mysterious, thrilling star-studded darkness!

While I love this ; “Their two-year-old son was a slightly different story. Having recently located his navel, he had other pressing priorities in mind.”

I’m pretty sure these two have the greatest significance, though only you know the answer. I’m just along for the ride. No more amusement rides for me please, or I may end up ‘losing’ my cotton candy and such.

Thanks Lor! I really like how you play with words and themes in your comments--"just along for the ride." Turns out Paul (mostly) kept grinning, or at least kept his sense of humor, his visit to the Gastric Kingdom notwithstanding. The chapter turned out to have more levity than originally expected/intended, hope you enjoyed.
