Jack's eyes widened in horror.
The old man pointed to the cart full of shoes.
"Did you not realise when you saw these? These are the shoes I wore out looking for you all these many, many years," he said.
"Keep your distance from me, sir. Keep your distance!" yelled Jack.
"You have been running away from your true destiny," said the old man. "The ultimate adventure. One to die for, in fact."
The old man chuckled.
"There are others waiting for you, Jack. People who have been waiting a long times. Centuries in fact."
"O... M... G...!" called out a voice from behind them both.
Jack and the old man turned to see Jemima staring at them.
"Two for the price of one," said the old man. "Your story's gone on long enough as well, Jemima."
He smiled a thin smile before adding, "Some might say too long."
