Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 21, 2019

You saw nobody with Petey, Alice? That’s a relief off his shoulders.

Mrs. Otterloop has seen Ernesto, so we know he’s not actually imaginary. Petey is just convinced he is.

Perhaps Petey is really the imaginary one … he’s such a picky eater, he may well have wasted away to being non-existent.

I was a little older than Alice when I tried to jump, and then jump again in mid-air. It didn’t work.

Ah, the famous book on antigravity. “I just couldn’t put it down”.

Imagine all the people……… ;)

I thought his name was Harvey…

Theme music playing: the tune wanders between The Twilight Zone theme, and Tommy James “Mirage”.

I don’t believe in gravity.

Sort of reminds me of the movie A Beautiful Mind!

Alice could be working on anti-gravity, Douglas Adams says flying is just throwing yourself at the ground and missing…

Of course you didn’t, Alice. So, obviously, Ernesto must be imaginary. There’s no lacuna here!
