As mentioned last week, I'm slowly bringing out snippets from "Genesis," a story that I'd written long ago. So, if you didn't catch the previous snippets, here are a few links to get you back up to speed.

So, for those who are trying to find out more about the satchel, you'll have to wait. But if you've been trying to figure out the stranger's purpose, you're in luck with today's snippet:
I looked over at Duff, who simply shrugged while I turned my attention back to the stranger and asked, “Do we know you?”
“You, my friends, are to be my guides for the journey.” His smile broadened, eyes twinkling.
His words sank in and I retorted, “Whoa, hold on!”
A big smile appeared on Duff’s face. “Journey? Colin, where are we going?”
“To the farthest reaches of the universe, if need be,” the stranger responded, “as the full extent of the journey has not been revealed.”
“I’ve always wanted to travel,” my dullard of a companion mused.
Be sure to come back next week for yet another installment. Again, I always enjoy your comments!
Sniff, sniff... I smell adventure, mayhem, mishap and excitement afoot!
ReplyDeleteAs long as he pays for their fuel!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Sue--sounds like not only what I'm sure will amount to a dangerous journey, but a pricey one. I'm glad we've learned more about the stranger, though now he's even more suspicious! Great sense of intrigue that keeps building with each snippet.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely going to be an interesting exchange to come... ;-)
