That's when I realize, my hand, the one reaching for the cup, it's gone. I mean, suddenly, it's just not there. So I put it in my lap and presto, there it is again. Only before it gets solid, it kind of flickers into view. Nothing, flicker, hand. Keeps happening."

This was not good.

"Jalil, you've got to get out of here before Miyuki shows up.

What if she sees? I'll tell her you didn't feel well and went home, something. Stick your hands in your pockets, get up, walk out.

Did you pay? I'll pay for you, just go."

Jalil smiled wanly. "And what's that going to do? Sooner or later I'm going to have to take my hands out of my pockets, like to, I don't know, open a door, and someone's going to notice.

Someone's going to say, 'Gee, that young man has translucent hands. Interesting effect.' April, something's got to happen. Soon.

I can't live this way here. It won't work. I think I'm being kicked out of my life."

I leaned forward.

"Or you're choosing to go. Jalil, I think I know what's going on. I think we have to choose, one world or another. You, you're not so attached to this life, the real world, anymore. Neither is Christopher. That's why you're both fading away. Not completely, and if you don't choose you'll continue to flicker in and out. But David, fr6m the beginning he's wanted out of this world, wanted to stay in Everworld. He's got a purpose there, or at least he feels he does. That's why he's gone here, totally. He made the commitment to Everworld."

"And you, April?"'

"Me, I... I'm still whole here. But Everworld April, Jalil, she's fading. Look, I've never wanted to stay there. I've always wanted things to go back to the way they were before. Before Senna dragged us down to the lake."

"And now? You know it'll never be like it was. You can't go back, pretend Everworld never happened,"

"I know. And it freaks me out to admit this, but I'm not thrilled Everworld April is fading out. I... I just don't know what I want. I'm not ready to choose."

"I don't feel like I'm choosing," Jalil said. "But you are. You must be."

"Damn. There's Miyuki. "Do you want me to stay?" I said.

Jalil smiled. "No, but thanks. If I'm on my way out of here, I want to spend as much time with my new girlfriend as I can.

Alone. Even with see-through hands."

I stood up from the table, knees weak. And then I woke up to pounding.
