“I know you will, if you’d just try. Can’t you see it when you close your eyes? It’s tucked behind the stern-faced houses and neatly groomed lawns left to brown and die. It’s a wild place of half-told stories and overgrown dreams. Come on. You know the way. You have to remember. Can you hear me? There are three keys, three secrets, three paths. Place your steps inside the footprints left behind by the giants. Don’t drink the water, the sorceress poisoned the well. Don’t trust the animals. They are always hungry. Walk toward the place where the sunlight turns the leaves to green glass. Don’t listen to the voices, the ones that try to tell you to shut up, don’t say a word, can’t you move faster, freak—work, sleep, work, sleep, hurt. Try to catch the sweet song calling to you. It’s the only map you’ll need. Can you see me? There are shadows you cannot come back from. Don’t look. Hold your breath as you pass them. Walk until you feel the damp earth start to seep through the thin soles of y...our shoes, the holes in your socks, your skin.MoreLessShow More Show Less
