Just Deserts

Panel 1

Awakeman exits the library exit door, carrying a book – the mysterious “G.L.” – and holds a hand up to shield their eyes from the bright light outside.

Awakeman walks.

And walks.

And walks some more.

AWAKEMAN: Where am I?

Panel 2

Awakeman crouches down to scoop up…

AWAKEMAN: Pure white sand?

They look around.

AWAKEMAN: Dunes?

Panel 3

Awakeman continues to walk –

AWAKEMAN: Ow!

With a sharp CRACK!, Awakeman hits their head on something totally invisible, dropping the book.

AWAKEMAN: Ow, ow…

Rubbing their head, an outline of the large, hard obstruction begins to form in Awakeman’s vision. It’s a castle!
