The Crack

By Lola Lafia

What lies beneath the page? Between the lines, within the words and the sentences and the story? Ida Cremchanskivich, a middle aged women who loves the piano, is lost in flight as she tries to make her way home from vacation. After numerous delays, she begins to read a book-and engrossed within this story lays Mr. Bombompsky, an avid writer, reader, and intellect residing in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Mr. Bombompsky marvels up a fiction of a young boy, Emil, who, while sick in bed, crates the story of Lee Cot, a mystical cowboy urgently fulfilling his mission to bring the Royal Question Mark to the top of the Mountain before the rotten Sir E. Vil brings the Period, which brings the world to an end. Through one another, these four characters intertwine and travel the world as they begin to understand themselves, their stories, and life itself.
