Hi, My name is Abigail. One morning a couple of weeks ago - well really it would have been one morning in a hundred years time - I had a fight with my Mum about my Dad. He left me and my Mum ten years earlier.
He now wants us to come with him to Norway. I really thought Mum was stupid to even think about accepting. I told Mum what I thought and we fought and fought. I was really rude.
That ended with me taking a walk to Harrington street, where IT happened. A horse and buggy came down the road and when I tried to get out of the way I fell - not onto pavement as I expected but onto cobbles.
I woke up and I was in this strange place where people thought I was The Stranger.
The Stranger they thought I was, had something to do with The Gift Beatie's always on about. She's afraid she's got it, but Granny Tallisker (her Granny) says she does.
I bet she has the Gift, the little snitch. She got me here so she will get me out.
