Tobe and the River Is: A Strange and Most Peculiar Tale

Tobe’s world was turned upside down by the experience of the light that hovered over him that day as he slept in the meadow. Now, with the flames of his burning house licking at the night sky, he turned east on the path into the darkness of the unknown and in the direction of a place he had not even heard of a few days before, a place called “Inlakesh.” He was giving up his world as he knew it…for a mystery. But he was determined to go, to find the living River Is and The Great Fish, and to see them with his own eyes! As Tobe walked, little did he suspect that “it was no natural world through which he was traveling now. Each step was taking him deeper into the mind, and where the real world ended and his mind began he could no longer tell apart.” And the challenges of mischievous dark holes and the encounter with the Bubble People still lay ahead, and beyond that, the lure of the carnival, “Phantasmagoria.” Is it even possible he could make it to Inlakesh—a land that exists in another dimension when this world holds such a firm grasp upon him? And what would he be like if he were ever to return to Sonadora, his village that stood on the edge of the world?
