Around two or three times a year, we would notice the wind blowing harder than usual, which meant a giant wave was coming.
Was the man a ghost, a figment of my imagination, or something else? I didn’t know, but it was a memory I’d carry with me my entire life, and eventually, I figured out that the man I saw on top of Scafell Pike that day was….
I must admit that if there was ever going to be a woman to take my mind and heart off of Annette, it would have been Aideen.
He’s a bad man, Mama, came the thought, somehow manifesting itself into the voice of my little Maddie.
I’d heard the expression about living in glass houses, but I never expected to actually be doing that.
These creatures are not humanoid. They call themselves, the Fury, and the name is well deserved; they are a violent race. .
Something must have gone awry with the programming. I have no idea where or when we are.
When Dani was about 1,000 feet above the ground, her direction changed from vertical to horizontal. She sped east at high speed. She estimated her speed to be many hundreds of kilometers per hour. As she thought about it, if she was going to make this trip in one hour, her speed would have to be about the speed of a jet airline. Yet she felt no wind, nor cold, whatsoever.
The world was becoming a very puzzling place for me. I didn’t understand why bad people were allowed to tell good people what to do. What kind of world would allow that to happen?
I’m sorry to tell you that another Dani was found wandering around the time station in our building, confused and disoriented.

No,” said the doctor. “It’s something I’ve never seen before. Something I don’t think anyone has seen before.”
Trust me Dani. You don’t want’a miss this. I’m not exaggeratin’ when I say the journey of a lifetime, of a hundred lifetimes, is just below us!
We know about the wildlife for God’s sake!” screamed Aideen. “We’re being attacked by a feckin’ pack of chimpanzees right now! Get us out of here!
I’ll test the station the day after tomorrow. If it’s good, we’ll make the jump the day after that. So three days. I need three days.
Now I’m not blaming anything on her—I take full responsibility for my own actions— but it was Annette’s betrayal that began my slow spin downward to insanity.
When the light reached its zenith, the group of 1,000 Travelers down below could no longer be seen. Suddenly, the intense light ceased to be, returning the lighting of the stadium to a normal level. Dani felt a moment of disorientation, but she soon recovered and looked down at an empty stadium.
