71. Collecting the Children

The Children follow the red ribbon and find their way to the Edge of the Light, to the Chasm of Darkest Nothing.

They are not afraid. Here they dance and sing, run and shout, and wait in the Light.

And here She collects the Children.

A woman glowing with the light of a candle lit room.  She’s a mother too, like the ones they only just knew.

Holding out her hands, she gathers the Children in her arms. Caring for them across the shining bridge, that spans the Chasm of Darkest Nothing, she makes them safe in the Eternal Estate.
