I would venture to say it's not unlike the same vast information and timelessness that happened to that person in the Jaunt.
That aside, while i know the 2003 revised is now canon I still live by the original text in which Allie never said 19 and was gunned down by the Gunslinger in error.
I've read a couple of different theories throughout the years.
One was that Allie
Book 7 Spoilers!!
And the other was that she saw the CK's court and lost her sanity.
I really like the first one.
Was it in error? I read it last night and got the impression that he saw something in her eyes that told him the man in black had gotten to her and there was no other option other than to kill her. Sheb was running right behind her, partially blocking Roland's shot at him. Being such a good shot I assume he could have taken Sheb out and not killed Allie but because she was "possessed" or something like that, he had no choice.
Unsettling enough already, isn't that?Quote:
"Do you believe in an afterlife?" the gunslinger asked him as Brown dropped three ears of hot corn onto his plate.
Brown nodded. "I think this is it."
Technically, she dies beforeQuote:

Raises some pointed Book 7 and series questions, though.
