The five kingdoms
By BRANDON MULL
Cole Randolph was just trying to have fun with his friends on Halloween (and maybe know Jena

The “Outskirts” are made of five kingdoms that lie between dreaming and wakefulness,
imagination and reality, life and death. It’s an in-between place. Some people are born there,
other find their way there from our world or from another. And when someone comes to the
“Outskirts”, it’s very difficult to leave…
