Summary:
Sometimes fantasy is closer to reality than you might think…
Artemis dreams in colour.
He chases multi-hued rainbows – the physics of refraction bending before his genius – and leprechauns dance around him as he bathes in the bright gold he finds.
When he wakes, the pale light of the full moon leeches all but the shadows from around him. In the attic, his mother is weeping, lost without his father beside her, and the Butlers converse in barely audible, worried tones.
An idea sparks in his mind… but, in the moon-bleak darkness, he instantly dismisses it, pressing his wet face into the pillow.
It had only been a dream, after all.
