“Oh well
that sounds easy,” Robert quips. “And just how do I do that?”
“When you
came here,” Tom replies, “What happened? What did the Forest say
to you?”
“He told
me to close my eyes and imagine myself in a meadow.”
“Right.
That dude knew what he was doing. People associate meadows with
happiness. In the loosest way, of course, but they do. Now tell me,
man, what else happens when you walk across the meadow. Not the
cottage, but anything else that's weird.”
“I can
hear children's laughter, and there's a breeze.”
“Boom!”
replies Tom. “That's the payload. That's the way out.”
