It’s time for the initiation ceremony.” He led Stark to a larger room. It was candlelit and dim. What little Stark could see of the walls had geometric designs on them. Mostly inverted triangles with circles connected to the...</description></item><item rdf:about="https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Barry_Lee_Jones/916053"><title>Chapter 19 Part 3</title><link>https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Barry_Lee_Jones/916053</link><description>Concluding his lecture, the speaker said, “That’s all I have to say.

He entered through the front door, just like he did before, and just like before, an unnaturally calm voice asked him what his wishes were. “I’m interested in attending the seminar,” he said. “Very well, sir,” the voice seemed pleased.

Stark hated that sound. But he needed something obnoxious to wake him up. He was one of those heavy sleepers. He picked up the phone and dialed a number. He waited a few seconds. The phone on the other end was...</description></item><item rdf:about="https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Barry_Lee_Jones/915852"><title>Chapter 18 Part 4</title><link>https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Barry_Lee_Jones/915852</link><description>Ten minutes later, Stark arrived at the church. He had already phoned ahead to make an appointment, but they told him to come on over. “We need to update the files on some of the churches in the San Francisco area,” said Stark, “This is as good a place to start as any.” “I am Clergyman St....</description></item><item rdf:about="https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Barry_Lee_Jones/915789"><title>Chapter 18 Part 3</title><link>https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Barry_Lee_Jones/915789</link><description>“Now we’re getting somewhere,” Stark mumbled to himself. “I beg your pardon?” said Arthur. “You’re the go-between.

When the man left, Stark also left. Stark kept back out of sight. He ducked into stores and alleys whenever the man would turn around and look behind him. But he always managed to keep the man within sight. The man stepped into a...</description></item><item rdf:about="https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Barry_Lee_Jones/915648"><title>Chapter 18 Part 1</title><link>https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Barry_Lee_Jones/915648</link><description>Chapter 18--Back to Earth After all that running around and investigating on Mars, Stark never thought he would end up in his office, back on Earth, making plans for further investigation.

That was when he discovered something: The figure was humongous. Stark had always thought he was a fair sized man. But the figure was big enough to make even him feel small. Stark wasn’t on the figure’s back for very long. The figure shrugged him off. In one awful...</description></item><item rdf:about="https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Barry_Lee_Jones/915456"><title>Chapter 17 Part 2</title><link>https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Barry_Lee_Jones/915456</link><description>Following the tunnel, they finally arrived at a big cavern. The big cavern seemed to be a central cavern. It had tunnels taking off in every direction, including the ceiling and floor. Stark chose one of the horizontal tunnels at random. Going down the tunnel, Stark found some huge machinery. He...</description></item></rdf:RDF>
