Lucinda watched Foreverland recede.

She knew everything about the Nowhere. She knew all the thoughts of the boys that had been there. Knew all the… suffering, too. But it was Danny Boy that cracked the system open. He showed her how to work with the code, how to see into the network that helped operate… Foreverland.

The Nowhere fog circled the sundial as the boys went back to their bodies. And Foreverland went to sleep. Until the next round.

Danny woke on the floor, shivering. His clothes were still piled up where he left them. The door of his cell was open. A sharp pain gouged his ribs as he sat up. He couldn’t remember falling before taking the needle. He got dressed and wiped something off his cheek, like snails raced across his face.

The Haystack was empty, except for Zin.

He was awake and sitting with his arms propped on his knees. His throat bobbed up and down like he was trying to swallow something that just wouldn’t go down.

“Zin.” Danny squatted in front of him. “You all right?”

A string of saliva dangled from his lip.

Danny pulled him onto his feet. At least he didn’t have to dress him. He threw Zin’s arm over his shoulders and guided him out of the Haystack and through the woods. Zin continued to swallow at nothing until they emerged into the Yard. When daylight hit their faces, Zin looked up. Focus returned.

“Thanks, Danny Boy.”

They went straight to their rooms. Danny helped him crawl in bed and then went to his own. He was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
