Endings & Beginnings
It was over.
Danny laid a final rock on the mound in front of him and stood slowly, the attack had been sudden, when it was over Patrick lay dying.
Taking a final glance at the pile of stones that was now his brother final resting place, slowly he began to walk up the ridge
Sinking down on to a rock he suddenly struck that he was alone, lost.
He tried to remember Cutter’s lectures. Below in the distance moving across the plain a group of large sail backed dinosaurs, similar to what had attacked them earlier
When did they exist?
Smiling he remembered, not dinosaurs, reptiles of some type. Cutter had been insistent on that point, Permian maybe but when he now couldn’t remember.
Night fell around him, staring out into the gathering gloom he watched silently, listening to the sounds from the plain below.
Suddenly along the ridge a light broke the total darkness, gold light shining like a beacon.
Standing he moved towards it.
The anomaly remained bright, its fractured light calling him ever closer.
Reaching it he stopped for a moment turning back to stare at plain now shrouded in darkness, staying her meant certain death but what lay beyond may be might be no safer or it might be home.
With a final look then he stepped into the light.
The shattered light hung for a while then slowly faded.
The world around it fell once more into darkness
