Present: On the Road, London

Jack Diamonds strutted all along in the wastelands of the world. Dying people, screaming children, and utter chaos. He had stolen a dead man's rifle and made sure he would make it out alive.

Lewis had run for Fabiola after she accused him of something he didn't quite understand. But it didn't matter. Jack was all alone. No more Lewis, Fabiola, or Constance in his life. This vagabond of friends had been one hell of a ride, but all mad things come to an end.

All he cared about was Alice. He wanted to make sure she was alive. He wanted to make sure she outlived this and found her inner self and won this war. He would help her with all his might if he could only find her.

He didn’t mind her killing him over and over again. For some wicked reason, he wanted to be with her for life. Not necessarily life and death, but maybe life and madness.

He was aware of the fact that the children could only read for so long before they tired or ran out of breath. If they lose hope before the Inklings do something about the end of the world, the Jabberwocky will have their souls for life.

Time was of the essence and he was clueless about how to find Alice.

Also, this memory of the past haunted him.

Alice and him in the poppy fields of Wonderland, separated by the presence of this dark figure. Who was he?

Dread came with this memory, but also love and appreciation. And an explanation.

The memory certainly explained his devotion to Alice. They had known each other since they were kids. This was an absolutely amazing revelation.

But why couldn’t he remember the rest of this memory? Did the memory return with the mushrooms infesting the worlds?

He noted the presence of the jagged-edged plants in the distance. They were huge, like reptiles invading the earth and skies.

For some reason, none of them neared him, even though he remembered them from his past memory of Wonderland. Not that they were as evil and huge, but he had seen them before.

Amidst his exhaustion, he realized that bits and pieces from the memory came back. A slow-burn puzzle of what happened that day.

Still blurry though, because the memory from Wonderland was like a palette of shiny purple and green colors occasionally interrupted with blotches of yellow patterns he could not fathom.

Slowly, he realized the yellow was another memory, one that didn’t occur in Wonderland but in the real world, a few years ago.

A memory of a bus.

A yellow one like the one he survived hours ago.

A memory of Alice going bonkers and killing everyone including him.

Jack stopped in the middle of nowhere, hardly capable of breathing. A jagged-edged migraine attacked him. He cupped his head in his hands as if trying to squeeze his migraine out of his head.

Then he fell to his knees, afraid his eyes would pop out.

Two memories. Years apart. Worlds apart. One fact, one fiction. But with one conclusion.
