(4) 4-6 Why is Alex playing baseball with characters from The Wizard of Oz, The Wind in the Willows, and other children's classics? Turns out he's in the hospital dying. Also, the future of stories is somehow linked to children's belief in them. None of this makes much sense, but readers may get a kick out of the story's meta elements.
