Another Place, Another Time

Sometimes in her dreams she could hear the King talking to her...but, of course, Kitty never saw his face.  Nor could she recall what the apartment looked like that had been her home during her long stay in the Interior.  The much-faded scar where the Minister’s knife had gone into her side failed to jog her memory.  Even when Kitty went to visit the Minister’s grave, she found no marker, presumably because no one had known who he was.  Its absence only heightened her sense of unreality.  Not for the first time did she wish Jack could remember his trip there, if only  to validate her experience.  But she seemed fated to just forget more and more about the Interior until, somehow, it would cease to exist in her memory at all.
