On a warm June afternoon, two finders came to a small-town diner that had burned down many years before. With the furnace blazing on the memory of coal, the steam engine headed south into a vast unknowable wild. We'll get to the southern Afterlights before Mary can!" Nick slapped him on the back, leaving an accidental chocolate stain.
"We'll need to look for a finder who can trade us the paper we'll need to make a new map," said Charlie, "but until then I can scratch the map into the engine bulkhead." There was a certain excitement in breaking away from the familiar, and shattering old routines. "Come on, Charlie-let's tame the Everwild! We'll chart the rails, and mark the deadspots on the way!"Īnd although Charlie was reluctant to travel to places unknown, Nick knew he was tempted. His job was to get rid of them, which made it hard to maintain more than just the barest of skeleton crews-namely, himself, Charlie, and Johnnie-O. Perhaps the unknown wouldn't have been so daunting if they had an entire crew-but unlike Mary, Nick hadn't been interested in collecting followers. It was just like the days when America was still the New World, and no one knew what breathtaking vistas and unforeseen dangers lay over the next ridge. "And to the Afterlights there, we're in the Everwild." Perhaps the living world had finally connected coast-to-coast and around the world, but Everlost was a new frontier. "Hey, it's not my fault no one knows what's out there!"
"That's all I ever hear! Everwild to the north, Everwild to the west, Everwild to the south-" Nick grunted in frustration at the mention of it. Why d'ya wanna go south anyway? Nothing there but the Everwild." I haven't charted any tracks south of Virginia.
If that's what you want, then I'll play.Ĭharlie shook his head. There was no question her soul traps were all about gathering up an army. So Mary would not face him-and now he suspected she never would without a full-out war. Things that could not be believed in the living world, but in Everlost, anything was possible. This was the farthest south they'd ever been-but there were Afterlights who Nick had come across, who spoke of things even farther south than this. "D'ya want to follow her again?"Ĭharlie looked at his map. Instead, Mary always left without affording him the dignity of a proper slap in the face. You could also use the parking lot across English from West Ridge Elementary and walk over to see the 90-minute show.Each time Nick arrived at one of her traps, and freed one of her snagged souls, he hoped for that moment of confrontation, where her anger would be undermined by the love he knew she felt for him. Or, enter at Jeffeelind from English, make a right on Everwild, then right on Bridgewood to loop around the backside and get in line by making a left onto the front side of Bridgewood (at the corner of Bridgewood and Bridgewood.)” Honestly, just come in from Latta and you’ll be set up for a smooth flow. Great advice from someone who lives in the neighborhood, “The best route is enter on Bridgewood from Latta and line up on the right side of road. It will make the season more enjoyable for everyone! Please only stay for one song if you plan to view it from your vehicle, stay on one side of the road, and avoid blocking driveways.
I went on a Monday at 5:15 and there were easily 20 cars already lined up, and 30 more driving carefully and slowly past. different from other homes on our favorites list is that it’s not on a cul-de-sac and people tend to park their cars for 20+ minutes rather than keep driving by.
