The story really took a weird and unsettling (sinister) turn…

Saving the very last chapter for when I get back from Vancouver because I don’t feel like finishing it just yet. I love it so much.

“Somehow I resented their sorrow, as if only I were entitled to it.”

“It was a shock when something from the outside world tore a hole in the misty peacefulness.

“Blinkers beamed on me with his kind, blinking eyes, and I said I hoped his mother would like me… And he gently stroked my bare arm and I knew he still wanted me to be Alice Peebles.”

“When I got home, the house was all dark and empty. But as soon as I lit the gas in the hall, the parrot started to laugh and scream, the dog whined, the cats gave little mews, and the house came to life again.”

I had my own suspicion but wasn’t expecting Alice to voice it out loud. Now I’m questioning if her and I are both crazy..?
