A
young boy lives all alone at the end of the world. His days are spent
looking for treasure with old maps from fallen empires. Dusting
off rock and looking for fossils. Playing ball by the drop.
And listening to the wind. He is happy living alone at the end of
the world. One day, Mr. Shimmer showed up. And he painted a
sign that said "Constantine Shimmer's Galvano-Magical End of the World
Tours. Fun All the Time." Mr. Shimmer plans to build a resort
at the end of the world. People start coming in by the droves.
And the young boy is not alone anymore. He even has friends for the
first time in his life. But is this what he really wants? |
