The drawing went still. The glow faded. Felix sat alone in his apartment with a picture of a mouse walking through a door into a field.
Felix leaned over the fresh sheet of paper. His hand moved. He drew a doorway. Not a real one—a cartoon doorway, the kind with a curved top and a knob in the middle of the air. Then he drew a key.
The paper was blank.
