Yesterday was the official launch of Peter Pan in Scarlet, and Fing, in his role as literary critic, was invited to the launch party.
He hob nobbed with celebrities and drank champagne and nibbled on salmon canapes.
He listened to the speeches and watched the theatrical presentation with great interest and applauded politely at the end.
He made a modest bid for the Faberge egg in the silent auction and was not surprised when someone else walked away with it.
He chatted to the girls on the book stall, purchased a copy and had it signed by the author and illustrator.
In his taxi home he started to read the story, there is something wrong in Neverland, all the dreams are leaking out into the real world.
Fing suddenly has an epiphany. He suddenly remember when Trotter arrived, all unannounced like a theif in the night. He thinks back and realises it has been a nightmare from start to finish.
Has Trotter escaped from Neverland? Could he be.....
A Lost Boy?
