Detour

With a nod to the short story Landlord of the Crystal Fountain by Malaki Whitaker, this story follows Crispin who is on his way to the wedding of a distant cousin. A random encounter means that he never gets there, but ends up somewhere else entirely. This is a story about the power of chance and having the desire and courage to jump into the unknown. Everyone has that desire in some measure, but few act on it.
