The Search Through Time and Space “Beep‚ beep‚ beep‚ Mr. Gordy wake up!” Rang the alarm clock. The year was 2023‚ the date September 3rd‚ the time 9:03 A.M. All was silent as the incessant nagging of the alarm clock continued to repeat it’s usual speech until a hand with a force of a comet came crashing down to end the repetition abruptly.

Omitted Chapter Ten Being woken up against my will is already annoying enough‚ but when it’s someone you don’t particularly like at an obnoxiously early time in the morning with a pounding headache and only a vague memory of a weird dream‚ it makes for quite the attitude.

The flat‚ empty horizon of reds and browns gave way to neat sections of farmland that flickered past like pages of a picture book. They were wheat fields‚ bristling and swaying in the early autumn breeze. I knew then M— wouldn’t be that much further.

She didn’t even get to finish her sentence as her arms pushed her body forward‚ slamming them into Josh. Her friend let out a surprised sound as he stumbled backward. “Lila!” Josh screamed as he slipped. He was at the edge of the cliff now‚ barely centimeters away from plummeting to the bottom.
