5500 Years From Home

In addition to the 250 plus Lyrical Pieces that I have written and received Copyright Protection from the Library Of Congress - I have, also, written a Novel (copyrighted but not Published) entitled 5500 Years From Home. I am currently working on a 2nd Book entitled The Island that I am about 1/2 the way towards completion, at this date.
.
I have decided to, occasionally, post excerpts from
5500 Years From Home in this Blog space.
Today, we peruse the 5th page of Chapter 7 – Page 57.

Enjoy !

5500 YEARS FROM HOME

chapter Seven … page 57

Emergency Jump

As the Police arrived at the barn, Dusty began neighing and acting up. Audrey pleaded with the men to hurry as the pony was disturbed.
The Detective, immediately climbed up the 2x4s nailed to the wall studs and into the attic. He looked around but saw nothing. Then, he took his digital camera from his jacket pocket and snapped several pictures. After climbing back down, he and the two Troopers looked all around the inside and outside of the barn. They surveyed the corral and took more pictures of the gauge in the Earth that the Orb, originally had caused. After examining all the Martin’s back property, they asked if they could look into the Moving Van. Audrey had been told not to answer no and so she led them back around to the front of the house. There, Charles stood guard. When told that the Police wanted to look inside the Van, Charles told them that he had to fetch the key from his other pants pocket. He went inside, by himself and just waited, hoping that Thom would reappear from the cargo section of the Truck. Thom didn’t and Charles continued to wait. Finally, he came back out front and made an excuse to the Troopers and the Detective that he had misplaced the key.

The Detective who had grown impatient with the elongated delay took out a special key ring that he had and announced that he would unlock the door with his special skeleton key. Charles tried to make an excuse that would impair the lock but it was too late .. the Detective had unlocked the door and slid it upward. The two Troopers, the Detective, Charles and Audrey stood at the opening peering into the Truck’s cargo area. There were a few small pieces of furniture and some bags of clothing .. AND NOTHING ELSE !
Charles looked in Audrey’s direction but Audrey had, already, fainted and had fallen to the Porch’s floor. One of the Troopers helped her back to her feet as Charles yelled to his wife, Janice to get a glass of water. As Audrey was revived, the Detective looked satisfied.

… AND NOTHING ELSE ! ..
