Chapter Fifteen

It took me a few minutes to wrap my brain around what my senses tried to tell it.

Fact one: I’d somehow gone into a painting.

Fact two: Standing in front of me were my once-father and once-self, Daisy.

Fact three: I had a strong sense that I no longer existed within the third dimension.

Fact four: I never could read Shakespeare without getting a headache, much less listen to it.

Of course, fact three gave me a time limit. Though, I couldn’t quite tell if I’d ended up in the fourth or merely a pocket nestled in the third, like the world of Dur. I’d try to figure out where Dur existed on the ‘ladder’ so to speak, but one, I didn’t have that kind of time and two, I didn’t want to go insane. Talos had a really good point as to why humans were stuck on the third dimension. We like it there. Thinking too much about beyond that is painful. I mean for heck’s sake, I can sum up the reason we aren’t ready for the fourth dimension yet (much less higher) in two words: Duck Dynasty.

When a bunch of backwoods dudes blasting birds out of the air was more popular than science and art? Yeah… my dragon companion’s notion of it being roughly a hundred thousand years before humans were ready for more than three dimensions sounds about right, if not a bit generous.

But, back to that time-wasting thing. I’m either going to disintegrate if I stay in here too long, or the Red Rider is going to hurt someone else… most likely before I can find them. My becoming involved in the Annie situation was a stroke of pure luck. I can’t roll those dice again.

Before I could think of anything to ask these people, my brain got stuck trying to figure out if they were people. Clearly, Daisy, my former pre-reincarnation by several lifetimes self, had been murdered. From the look of her, probably not long from now. Crap. That pissed me off even more to find out I’d been so young. Sixteen is still a child to me. That’s a year younger than Tammy, and the thought that someone murdered a kid that age made my blood boil.

Oh, I totally understood why J.C. did what he did.

He seemed to pick up on the meaning in the look I gave him.

“Prithee, allow me a moment to confer with the mistress in confidence, sweet Daisy. Matters not suit’d to a babe of thy tender age.”

“Father, thee coddle me too much, but on this I relent as thee so wish. I will beest close, ov’r thither.” Daisy gestured at the stream and wandered off. No sooner did she percheth—I mean perch—beside the water than an army of small woodland creatures came out to her.

Cripes. The girl was a veritable Disney movie. I was a veritable Disney movie.

“Samantha,” said J.C. “It’s so good to see you.”

I blinked at his sudden shift in language. “Yeah. Why did you stop talking like a Shakespearean play?”

“I am who you think I am and I have lived through many years.
