Harvey’s point that “an event, process, or thing cannot be understood by appeal to what exists only at some point” is very applicable to Goat Island, as Stella’s experiencing in trekking across the reach is a perfect example of spacetime. Her illusions represent how space and time are never separate or stationary, but rather always moving and entangled. While her reminiscences appear to be simply of the past, they seem to defy the rules of space and time altogether. In terms of space, her venture is not only from the island to the mainland, but also from living to the afterlife. In relation to time, Bull tells her it is time to go to the afterlife and she replies “yes I will, yes I did, yes I do.” The use of different tenses here shows how she is not simply stuck in one dimension of time, rather as Harvey would put it: in a “field of flows.” Although this can all be seen as a fantastical story, it does show how our perception of reality ties together all of our memories and experiences. For someone like Stella living so secluded on an Island, it makes sense that the people she was close with in the tight knit island community are those who come to her at such an emotional moment in her life.
