The Quest for Paradise - Page 47/94

Through gritted teeth I said, "Beat it in Jesus name and don't come back!"

The officer drew back from me as he repeatedly blinked with surprise. He moved away then looking oddly befuddled about what was going on and then further away from me down the line I watched the possessing entity snap back into control with an almost invisible shake of the officer's body, "Aha hello and here you be one by two soon we go down where the rabbits be!"

Warning alarm lights went off and those base personnel not in their seats quickly got into them. There was a loud horn sound, which seemed to signal debarkation as the cigar shaped vessel I was in began to spin like a theme park ride from hell.

There was no holding the hot chocolate down. In miserable horror I felt the spinning craft suddenly drop.

The change was so sudden within the bay of the vessel that everyone who wasn't already wailing screamed now in abject horror. I crammed my eyes shut and pleaded, "Oh God please hold me!"

The spinning sensation was suddenly gone and all we were left with was the sense of falling through space. The bay of the vessel I was in reeked of vomit and worse and even in more sickening fashion I watched bodily fluid on the floor start to float upwards as if in replication of the faked NASA videos attempting to show the effects of gravity. Were we really falling that fast?

I didn't have long to think on it before with a grinding of metal we slammed into something hard and seemingly unmovable. If it hadn't been for the elaborate harness my neck would have been broken, as it was it only felt like it was broken.

The spinning was back, only accompanied this time by the deafening roar of metal grinding on something hard. Dimly opening my eyes I witnessed that many people were unconscious, perhaps even dead. I couldn't say for sure, but what was sickening the most was that the few soldiers that I could see from my strapped in position appeared to be perfectly fine.

Just what had they given or done to these men to turn them into the zombies that they were? I didn't know.

With a scream I felt the vessel pass downward in the next moment even as the atmosphere within the cigar shaped vessel became oppressively hot. Magma? Again I didn't know.

I was pretty sure that in addition to drilling through the crust of the Earth that we were also traveling between different dimensions. Speakers crackled and I heard the sounds of war being played out upon them.
