“That’s it,” he said, “hold on.” Then he closed the door at his feet and pressed the accelerator and the drill began to climb back up through the tunnel though a little slower due to Aughra’s magnets pulling on some of the metals inside the drill.
They reached the surface within ten minutes. When it stopped, they dropped to the ground, running as fast as they could, screaming, “Get out! Run! Run! There’s a bomb about to go off, run!” The streets were mostly empty now. Apparently, the word had already gotten out.
Then, BOOM!
The ground shook as a wave of Earth rolled past knocking them both to the ground. A jet of flame erupted from the hole they had just made launching the drill and its transport into the air and out of view. They looked back to the lab just as the whole building exploded up into the sky. A flash, followed by a glowing trail of red smoke traced a path where Aughra had shot straight up and disappeared into the black mass at the base of the now rippling mushroom cloud.
There was a pause as time seemed to stand still and nothing else happened, and then, near the top of the mushroom, a blue light exploded across the stratosphere. For a long moment, it was daylight as the force from the anti-matter in Aughra’s engine released all at once, creating a new sun high above Atlanta. The mushroom cloud was now a smear across the sky that left a mark as far as the eye could see.
John’s lab was gone. A huge crater sat where it once stood.
After the light began to fade, Joshua put a hand out to help Anna to her feet. She jumped up on her own and said, “We did it!” Then she gave Joshua a big hug.
They walked back to the helicopter and fell into their seats. A hole, the size of a small car, had burrowed through several buildings not far away. Joshua guessed that one of the ball bearings that had been holding Aughra up must have shot out and crashed into it. He wondered what happened to the rest of them.
He checked the choppers Geiger counter. It crackled in response but the radiation levels were well below the dangerous mark.
“Now what do we do?” he asked.
“We never did have dinner last night,” she answered as she looked up at the sky.
Joshua said, “You think there’s a Crystal Ball Room in this universe?”
Anna smiled as she replied, “Let’s go find out.”

Biography
I was born in a small town in Mississippi and raised near the Louisiana bayou.
By the age of ten, I had explored more than my share of mud holes, endless forest and long church pews. At ten years old my family moved away from the swamps and into a city on the east coast of America. I was like a fish out of water those first few years.
Around 20yrs old I was an assistant instructor teaching Mauy Thai, jujitsu, entertained other martial arts, and through them I’ve learned that you never stop learning.
During the housing boon, I spent 8-12 hours, 6 days a week, for 6 years finishing and building hundreds of homes. Everything has changed now. I enjoy painting, carpentry, browsing used bookstores and caves and the great outdoors.
Help sick children
A percent of the net profit from this sale will go to help sick children around the world.
In the summer of 2011, I visited Vietnam, finished this book and met a group of very special children. With open hearts, they sang songs, laughed and hugged us freely. I left a part of my heart with them.
Your purchase will help provide books, writing and art supplies, and, most importantly teachers who will assist these special needs children in becoming as strong and independent as possible. See my FB page http://www.facebook.com/Modakbooks?sk=photos for more information.
