Chapter Five: The Journey

Copyright 2009. All Rights Reserved.

I awoke in the morning to the sound of an alien bird chirping its heart out. I uncoiled myself from my pile of blankets and stretched, my hands reaching for the ceiling. Within a few minutes, the single bird had been joined by a chorus of others, all chirping, screeching, honking, and chattering together. Outside I heard a soft groan. I grinned to myself. It sounded like Kurt and Jarvis had had a rude awakening.

Chapter Four: The Encounter

The figure abruptly moved a few paces back at the same time as my numbed brain realized that this was probably a companion of the person I had seen only moments before across the meadow. I stopped screaming.
“Uh, hello there! You really scared me, popping out of nowhere like that.” I said, my breath coming in ragged gasps. “Do you live around here?”

Beneath me there was only space: I was hovering in midair with nothing supporting me. I heard a high-pitched thread of noise which suddenly stopped, and then I realized that I had been screaming. My head reeled as I stumbled into the meadow. As I turned to face the doorway, Dobbs came into the room. I'm in so much trouble. I thought to myself.
