Poor Jerry MacKenzie is completely confused about everything that’s happened in A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows section 9, and we really can’t blame him. He doesn’t know what has happened yet.
He’s traveled into the past, but right now, he doesn’t know that. All he knows is that he’s somewhere in Northumbria, and that his plane has disappeared from where he thought it had crash landed. Now he needs to figure out where it is and get help.
Breaking down A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows section 9
The section starts with Jerry waking up. He does note that time has passed due to the change of the sky, and he takes a lot in around him, realizing that he is still in Northumbria. However, something feels off, like he’s lost something, and he thinks about Dolly and Roger for a moment.
He needs to remain focused on what’s going on, though. One of the things he needs to do is find his plane, which has to be somewhere around here. Doesn’t it? It would seem logical that he is just looking in the wrong place, and when he comes across a lake, he wonders if it could have landed in there. His thoughts are thrown off that as he would be wet as well, and that’s not the case.
So, he needs to find help. Maybe his support team will arrive at some point, or maybe a truck will come by the road and he can hitch a ride. Sure, he shouldn’t leave without finding his plane, but he has few choices right now, so he heads to where the road is.
We know that he’s not going to find the road, because he’s not in the 1940s anymore. He’s in the 1730s, and that means everything has changed.
Could this section be used in a TV series adaptation?
Should A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows ever be used in an adaptation, we would need to see this section. After all, we see Jerry figure out what to do now that he has accepted that the night before happened. We could even have him talking to himself as he tries to figure out where he is, or the series could opt for voiceovers, which it’s done plenty of times before.
This would be a great scene for us watching, as we know where Jerry is. Watching Jerry try to figure it all out will be fun and exciting, but also full of tension as we know what’s to come but not exactly how it all plays out.
