This ‘way out’ involved  manipulating the power of the Dark Presence to write someone new to take his place — a younger writer named Alan, who would come to Bright Falls and defeat the Dark Presence. If not Barry and the Sherif, at least a patrol picking up Alice as she awoke by the broken bridge. A hero needed a crisis.
