Manuscript text[]
There was no misunderstanding, Cauldron Lake was where Alice and I had stayed, but there was no cabin and no island. I was missing a week. What had happened to me? What had happened to Alice?
I had to get her back. I couldn't face life without her.
Location[]
The page can be found inside the blocked tunnel located near the entrance of the Elderwood National Park.
