    Summary

    Charlie Spring had to be dead. He had to be.

    He had disappeared a year and a half ago, walked into the woods with just a knapsack and vanished into thin air. Some say he had family problems, or was out of his mind, or had been relentlessly mistreated (Nick, sadly, knew this one to be true) and no longer wanted a part of life in their small, coastal village. Some even said he was a - Nick could barely think the word - a witch, and had gone off into the woods to conjure dark forces and torment the villagers from afar.

    But now, a whole year and a half later, Charlie was just - there. Gathering mushrooms in a clearing like nothing was amiss.
    ***
    or, Charlie fled into the forest eighteen months ago and is presumed dead, until lumberman Nick stumbles upon him, alive, deep in the woods.

    Summary

    This will make no sense unless you have read Beyond Endurance, but if you have you may enjoy this little diversion. It is not an epilogue but takes place between the trial and the final chapter and focuses on developments in Charlie's life.
