He traveled to a land far from this oneand there he died alongside other
young men whose dreams of honor and glory ended upon a muddy battlefield. His remains were
shipped home and buried in a country churchyard beneath a small stone cross bearing his name
the dates of his birth and deathand the words “Beloved Son and Brother.”
David married a woman with dark hair and green eyes. Her name was Alyson. They planned a
family togetherand the time came for Alyson to give birth to their child. But David was anxious
for them bothfor he could not forget the words of the Crooked Man:
“Those whom you care
about―loverschildren―will fall by the waysideand your love will not be enough to save them.”
There were complications during the birth. The sonwhom they named George in honor of his
unclewas not strong enough to liveand in giving brief life to him Alyson lost her ownand so
the Crooked Man’s prophecy came to pass. David did not marry againand he never had another
childbut he became a writer and he wrote a book. He called it
The Book of Lost Things
and the
book that you are holding is the book that he wrote. And when children would ask him if it was
truehe would tell them thatyesit was trueor as true ayilai：
