Author's Response: Like the exact number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie-pop? "The world may never know." And, yes, I alternate points of view in the narration of my stories. It's a technique the late, great Louis L'Amour adopted for his Western novels ("The Sackett Family" series, in particular). If there was an interlude that was realistically impossible for the first-person narrator of the story to know was occurring elsewhere, at that exact same moment, then he switched back to "omniscient author" mode to depict it. And, rightly so! :-)

I note you're trying out the first person narrative method.
Now if a Cheshire Cat, like Alice's had rabies. Would the rabies vanish along with the cat?
