Excerpt:
We had the chip
with us and it had been glowing as they always did when they were around a
working portal; we would know if we successfully broke this one because the
chip’s lights would go out. Dietrich nodded but added, “It may be easy to
repair though if we don’t take the whole thing.”
We both looked
under the desk to try to figure out how to move part of it away from the wall
when the chip suddenly lit up brighter beside us. I had placed it on the floor
between us, and as we knelt on the floor by the portal trying to figure out how
to destroy it, we were sure the chip
was definitely glowing more intensely.
Dietrich peeked
at me but didn’t want to look away from the chip for too long. “What do you
think it means?”
I get it: I’d
come from this planet … sort of … but why the hell should I know what it was
doing? This was all just as new to me as it was to him. I shook my head and
kept watching it. It grew brighter and brighter until I had to squint to keep
looking directly at it.
“Dietrich …” but
I didn’t really know what to say. The whole thing was just making me nervous,
and he apparently felt the same way, because he reached over to me and pulled
me away from it. I looked up at him in surprise but he’d placed himself between
the chip and me. I couldn’t see it or his face anymore.
I grabbed
fistfuls of his shirt and held my breath. It was vibrating against the tiled
floor. “Lottie,” he started, but he was going to tell me to leave so I stopped
him.
“No, I’m staying
with you.” I peered around him. It was glowing so brightly now it was like
trying to stare into an open flame. And it was vibrating harder, rocking back
and forth on the hospital floor. My mouth felt dry and the room swirled around
me as I rocked back on my heels and fell over. Dietrich turned around and put
an arm around me but it wasn’t affecting me physically. I’d had a flashback, a
brief memory, so fleeting and seemingly unimportant at the time, but suddenly,
it was there, shining as brightly in the forefront of my mind as the device
lying on the floor in front of us.
“Oh my God,” I
whispered, “Oh my God, Dietrich … I think someone’s crossing over.”
