Knot Gneiss
“She had a compass the Good Magician had lent her that pointed toward the Knot. She planned to go find it, then decide how to move it. The Good Magician said the wagon would be there when she needed it, and she trusted that.
Several people came running toward her, along the path. She drew the bicycle aside to let them pass. They looked distressed, as if fleeing something. But what would they have to flee, on an enchanted path? It was guaranteed safe.
So she asked a woman as she ran by. “What are you running from?” It still surprised her to hear herself say “you” instead of “yew.” “The flees!” the woman gasped as she fled onward.
This did not seem to make a lot of sense. “What are you running to?” she asked the next man.
“The Isle of Cats and Dogs,” he puffed as he went by.
This still did not clarify it much.
“What’s at the Isle of Cats and Dogs?” she asked the next person.
“Flee bags!” she responded in the breeze of her passage.
