This is my first time commenting, but I’ve been following everyone’s exploits with rapt attention. I’ve been more than a little freaked out by some of the revelations, because so many are similar in tone and content to story points in my recently published novel, Midlife Mouse.

The book deals with a fictional prophecy spoken by Walt and the efforts of a secret council to confirm the book’s hero as the fulfillment of it. That secret council is comprised, in part, by groups like the Small World SOCIETY and the Tomorrowlanders. The former, of course, is devoted to the causes of the original it’s a small world attraction at the ’64 World’s Fair. The latter group have a penchant for quoting Carousel of Progress and place a high importance upon the animatronic figure of Tom Morrow.

In the sequel, Midway Mouse (which is only partially complete at this point), we learn that our hero’s father was once being recruited into an organization to create a real-life city of tomorrow. Weird, huh?

Some of the similarities are so odd, I wonder if perhaps I was once a member of the Society and just don’t recall it. Time for some hypo-regression, I guess!

(And did I mention that my day job is as a filmmaker, mostly in commercials and … documentaries?)

Anyhow, best of luck on your continued quest. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
