“We could not finish the game. Something kept going wrong, we could not finish it. Something went wrong, despite all the Lucy inside me, and the white pawn could not make it to the eighth square. A cloud would come into my eyes and the board would melt away and bend into new shapes, the straight rows and columns would twist and turn around themselves and the white pawn would always end up a few squares back from where she was meant to be. And not even Tupelo, when she played the white pieces, could bring the game to an end. And Alice could not make it to the final square, she could not become a queen.”
Jeff Noon, Falling Out of Cars
