Unravelling The Red Thread: Bedtime Tale
by Dan Jones
This is a bedtime story about an elderly lady receiving a postcard from a friend. She reads that postcard as the story unfolds about a woman travelling around the world in search of the strange and mysterious. She is on a train that passes through a mountain tunnel, but exits in a different reality. She finds her way to a magical door in the ancient ruins of a city in the woods. The other side of that magical door is a meadow with a parrot and an orange dinosaur. They guide her to the coastline, where she gets help from a Humpback whale. She continues and finds a town, where a cardinal in a purple cloak makes her a warm coat, before she heads to the glass mountains, meets a fairy who tells her how to change the reality around the train, before finding her way back to the train and continuing her journey. After reading the postcard, the elderly lady heads to bed and drifts peacefully asleep into Slumberland.
