A warm greeting sent to you from Arcadia, and please forgive the hurried note. I have little time to send this parcel safely off to you; the war here means our libraries are in immediate danger, and we have little time to save certain key works.

We have tried several times before this to send other books for response, and to other laboratories, universities, governments, worlds. In fact, we tried several times to send the best known of our Arcadian works, my own ON THE DISCOVERY OF BIOLOGICAL TRUTHS IN FAIRY TALES. Almost every time was a failure. Almost every time the parcel came back “return to sender.” Except for our fairy tales. Technical works do not travel well. Stories do.

As for the importance of this story: we believe the late Professor Devindra Vale discovered, right before her death, that SNOTTY SAVES THE DAY is the actual story of real events. We believe she had discovered that what Snotty became literally formed our world.

I’ve no time to explain further. If the present battle should end in our favor, you’ll hear from me again. If not, at least SNOTTY SAVES THE DAY will have found its way to safety. And who knows what happens to Ideas once they find a place in any world.

Yours,

Dr. Alan Fallaize
