I'm thinking I'm in some strange twilight zone time-space warp thing? Save me Mr Wizard!

(Just checked and Yes it is an excerpt from the novel .... Time/Space returns to normal)

The short story from the story collection is not an excerpt from the novel; rather, the novel (of the same name) is a re-visioning and expansion of previous thematic content originating from the short story.
