Never Never Land

by Bohemian Spitshine

I had often heard the tales of a magically world called Never Never Land. It was a place that existed only in my dreams...until my dreams came true, and I soon found out Never IS an Awfully long time...

1. Prologue

NeVeR NeVeR LaNd

Mother often spoke of a place that I could go to where no one would ever find me. It is a place of darkness, a place of light. A place of happiness, a place of sorrow. A place that can only be reached in one's dreams. A place where one never grows old…Never Never Land.

I had, of course, heard the story of Never Never Land many times before. I had heard of the great adventures of this glorious boy named Peter Pan, as well as the tales of Wendy and the Pirates and the Lost Boys. Never Never Land always was the place of excitement and fantasy, that I knew couldn't possibly exist but, oh, how I wished it did! Hours and hours I spent locked away in my room, dreaming sweet dreams of the places I would go, the people I would see, the adventures I would have.

Never in even those wildest dreams could I have ever possibly expected Never Never Land to be real. But then again…it is through dreams that Never Never Land is reached, and I certainly did do a lot of dreaming.

I first made real contact into the world of Never Never Land one cold, October night, fifteen years ago…
