A New Kind of Dreaming

Chapter 2 · Jamie's New Host

Summary

Jamie meets Archie, the mysterious old man who will host him in Port Barren. After Lorraine warns him this is his “last chance”, Jamie follows Archie through the blazing desert, passes a drunken policeman, and reaches a silent, unsettling house, where he feels faint.

Key Events

  1. Jamie meets Archie, his new host, and feels unsettled when the old man’s “piercing gaze” seems to understand more about him than Jamie wants to reveal.
  2. Lorraine reminds Jamie that Port Barren is his “last chance” and explains that he will attend the small local school while staying with Archie.
  3. Jamie follows Archie through the intense heat, ignores a drunk policeman’s warning, and tries to hide how out of place he feels in the unfamiliar town.
  4. Jamie reaches Archie’s worn house beside the Great Sandy Desert, but the silent landscape and rising nausea leave him unable to climb the steps before a car arrives.
