Chapter 24: Mariel Barbeau

On this episode of Mindframe, we revisit Mariel Barbeau (previously known as Josephine). She is close to a full repair and relaunch of the Old Dame Hotel, and she’s eager for Uncle Alphie to get there. She doesn’t expect the what happens to her reality as a result–both her and her chapters will never be the same again!

What Barbeau saw was chaos, utter and complete. The ground was bleeding more ground like a fountain of earth, and the sky was filled with a landscape of fractured trees. Puffs of moving clouds had replaced snow on the churning ground, and in particularly bad spaces, the ground clouds parted and magma flowed, belching black smoke, which was the next mountain over and not smoke at all.
