“Remember, I did ask you to step off the port pad.” Then he pushed a button.
“Port…?” The area glowed florescent blue and she felt an awful pulling, dropping sensation and she had the urge to scream. Her arm flew wide from the gravity as her sidearm spiraled away with a bang. She saw lights flashing past her at an abnormal rate. She felt a burning sensation in her chest. Had she just shot herself? Then everything went dark.
About the Author
I wish I could make this part more interesting for you. I would love to say that I am a graduate of Julliard, top of my class. When that field of study got boring for me I went and took advanced classes at MIT. Then I really made my dreams come true by applying for and being accepted into the Space Program. (Disclaimer: None of that is true!)
In reality, I am just a hard working regular person. I get up in the morning, put my pants on one leg at a time, and then I trudge off to my job just like the rest of the world. Work, work, work, and then head on home. When I get in front of my computer is when I can let my imagination free, and escape to Terraneu.
I had a blast doing research for the song I wanted to have as Amber and Kniam, Knollig and Mairi, and Jen and Thian’s first dance. Talk about a trip down memory lane! My poor husband would just shake his head when I went all head bangin’. I think his concern was that I was going to break my own neck or something, then he would have to explain how that happened to the authorities. After all how many middle aged women die from heavy metal music?
The songs played at the dance that I mention are “Time after Time” by Cyndi Lauper and “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC. I even threw one in for my husband, “Amazed” by Lonestar. I hope you can listen to your favorite hits and imagine them dancing the night away on Terraneu.
