Idaho Forests Along the Lochsa River.
[In the opening of Chapter 24 the Narrator is having a bad nightmare, which concludes with:] “ …. There must he some kind of mistake. Doesn’t he see that they need me? I plead with the figure that I have to speak to them. It’s not finished yet. I have to tell them things. But the figure in the shadows makes no sign he has even heard. .. "CHRIS! " I shout through the door. "I’LL SEE YOU!!" .. The dark figure moves toward me threateningly, but I hear Chris’s voice, "Where? " faint and distant. He heard me! And the dark figure, enraged, draws a curtain over the door. .. Not the mountain, I think. The mountain is gone. "AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN!! " I shout. .. And now I am standing in the deserted ruins of a city all alone. The ruins are all around me endlessly in every direction and I must walk them alone.“(End Chapter 23.)
