Something About Johnny Dixon Collapsing

Frankly speaking.

On a Saturday afternoon early in April, Johnny Dixon and his friend, Fergie, took a hike around the chain of ponds at the eastern end of Duston Heights. In previous months, Johnny had been possessed by the Windrows, but now he was recovering nicely. Yet when he collapses in the park, as documented in The Revenge of the Wizard’s Ghost (1985), it sends his friends scrambling to figure out once and for all a cure.

Apparently. in a cut scene, Fergie jotted down his thoughts in his diary of the day's events:

Johnny Dixon has collapsed!

We were hiking along and suddenly

the sun started setting and glowing

and you said you couldn't see it

Because there was dusk in your eyes.

All this joking and laughing

and I was in such a hurry to get home,

To get around these ponds

of rippling water

And suddenly I hear the noise

JOHNNY DIXON HAS COLLAPSED!

There is no snow in Duston Heights

There is no snow in Massachusetts

We have been to these trails many times

and I know you felt dizzy, walking

today but not as you have before

oh Johnny we need you to get up
