Chapter 12 Part 3

Wanda watched Fred climb up into the hole. He propped himself right at the edge of the hole. He sank the rappelling hook into the glass on the edge. He stepped back, letting out line as he went, until Wanda could no longer see him. “You probably can’t see me anymore,” said Fred’s voice over Wanda’s... Sign in to see full entry.

Chapter 12 Part 2

Apparently, Fred was unaware of the warning light flashing. Wanda was thinking about how hot the laser must be getting. If Fred hadn’t had gloved hands, he probably would have dropped it a long time ago. Fred was too intent on the hole he was making. He was making pretty good progress, too, Wanda...

Chapter 11 Part 4

On the ground next to the hole was a discarded laser pistol. Stark picked it up and examined it. The ruby lens was cracked. The contacts behind the lens were welded shut. The housing itself was ruined. The whole laser was now useless. Whoever cut the hole didn’t know diddly about lasers. “Parker,... Sign in to see full entry.

Chapter 11 Part 3

The monolith seemed to be the center of the ruins. From the monolith, the ruins stretched out for about a mile in all directions. When they got closer, Stark could see that the ruins consisted mostly of decayed buildings. Stark got a closer look at the monolith. He couldn’t tell for sure from this... Sign in to see full entry.

Chapter 11 Part 2

“I’ll have pancakes, eggs, and sausage,” said Blake. “And... I’ll have a... bowl of creamed... wheat and toast... on the side,” said Parker. Parker took his bowl of cereal. It was set on a plate that also held the toast. Stark dug into his eggs, then his ham. No difference. He looked over at Blake... Sign in to see full entry.

Time to get up,” he yelled into Stark’s room. “If you hurry up, we can get you something to eat before you... Sign in to see full entry.

Chapter 10 Part 4

A couple of hours later, “We’re here,” said John. “You have a knack for brilliant observations,” Fred replied. “It took years to develop,” John grinned. Fred had discovered a long time ago that John was one of those people you just couldn’t insult. Looking at the monolith now, Fred noticed that he... Sign in to see full entry.

Chapter 10 Part 3

Fred noticed that so far, John had assumed his all-too-familiar lax attitude. Unlike other times, he wasn’t worried about John getting too lax or over-cocky. When John was in the driver’s seat, he knew exactly what he was doing. Now, if Fred were driving the transport right now, he would have the... Sign in to see full entry.

Chapter 10 Part 2

Wanda took the seat directly behind John and strapped herself in. Fred sat in the other front seat next to John. The engine compartment, otherwise called the doghouse, was right between John and Fred. As soon as John saw Fred and Wanda sit down, he retracted the telescoping loading tube. If Fred and...
