0:06.5 | complete reimagining of this story. It's out now, find it wherever you encounter books, |
0:12.4 | or at Alice isn't dead.com. |
0:24.3 | Alice. I... |
0:30.6 | Alice. I want to start by saying, oh shit. Sorry, someone cut me off. |
0:40.5 | Anyway, I want to start by saying that this is not a story. It's a road trip, |

2:32.1 | He was wearing a yellow hat, like a baseball hat. His fingernails were yellow too, not cigarette |
