24. 'Perhaps I'm just a character in a work of fiction too', he thought as he turned to start the long walk home, with nothing to show for several hours' rummaging but a dog-eared work of metafiction with several pages missing. Somewhere, off in the distance, a dog howled. He paused. Something had changed. Something fundamental. Something he couldn't quite put his finger on.
He looked up. Hanging in the sky, somewhere between the evening star and the constellation Orion, was a short piece of text, in glowing green letters that must have each measured light-years in height and width. The message said 'GAME OVER'.

Sheila had the strangest feeling as if the whole world had come to a complete stop for a moment. Of course, it was ridiculous. She became aware of the telephone receiver pressed to her ear. Doyle was saying something. '...Sheila, I lost my wallet with the secret code in it. Will you help me find it?'
'Of course I will, Doyle dearest', she replied. 'Only promise me something...'
'Anything, Sheila. Anything'.
'Promise me things will go on being the same, forever and ever?'
'Of course they will, Sheila. Exactly the same. For ever'.

I'm having a bit of a "holiday" on the governments tab but expect to be out in about 2 months, assuming I can continue to follow the rules. Are you sure you want to do this?" Sheila bit her tongue and said," Of course I do you know that". Doyle thought to himself, Ya right whatever. Here we go again"

Dr. Black clasped his hands behind his back and said. " I think it's time for another 'session' don't you?" No I'll be good , I promise. Please no more". Dr. Black chortled as he called for his assistant Mr. Amp to take Doyle to "The Room".
