We woke up in the parking lot of JR. A strange smell pervaded the car - cheese and garlic...
We got out of the car in a daze, looking at each other.
"Are you Beth Parent, world famous author of Onward Hoe?" I asked.
"Why yes, I am. Are you Elaine F. Bayless, world famous author of Birds, Bees, and Church Trailer Thieves?" she replied.
"Yes I am."
"Where are we?"
"We're at the ULTIMATE SHOPPING ZONE," I replied, gesturing at the sign.
"But how did we get here?" she asked.
"I don't know, but I think there are some photos on this camera," I replied, and we began to look through them.
At first, we saw only confusing photos of some strange hair styles.
But then we saw some more revealing photos.
"I think we were in Wilkesboro," said Beth. "I grew up there. Yes, this is definitely the Wilkes Co. Library."
"And is that, is that?"
"Yes, that is Zach Gali,,, gali,,, well, that's Zach the really funny guy from the Hangover."
"Oh my gosh! Look, you're making him laugh!"
"No kidding! I wonder what I said that was so funny?"
"Not sure, but it was good."
"So how did we get to Wilkes County?"
I shrugged. "That's not my car," I pointed to the vehicle we had awoken in.
"It's mine."
"Strange," I said. "And I think that smell... Yes, look, that's the pizza I had for lunch! It's all coming back to me now."
"But if we went all the way to Wilkes County and I don't remember that, what else happened?"
"I don't know," I replied, a chill to my heart. I caressed the beautiful emerald ring on the ring finger of my left hand. "And I don't know where this came from, but I'm keeping it."
Beth nodded in agreement, then looked up at JR. "Well, we might as well shop," she said, and I agreed.

Cool. :) What did he read? Looks like a children's book.
He read 3 kids books, one about a snowy day, and one about "don't forget the bacon" and another one I don't remember. He was very nice and normal.
I don't know how you could forget "Who Is the Beast?"
