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, .. but have suspended at this time.
.
I have decided to, occasionally, post excerpts from
5500 Years From Home in this Blog space.
Today, we peruse the 8th page of Chapter 13 – Page 119.
.
Enjoy !

5500 YEARS FROM HOME

chapter Thirteen … page 119
.
Vikings 14 - Chiefs 7


Thom fought against the young Warriors but to no avail. He, soon, was fastened to the pole where the young Princess had been, before. It would be just a matter of minutes before he was set afire. There would be no racing back to the Orb as had occurred five times before.
Going from enemy intruder to God-like figure and now to death by fire for actions detrimental to the Tribe was unfathomable.
.
Thom’s last hope was to cry out for the EOB to take action.
As the Vikings and Indians all stood by in witness of this turn of events, a strange shooting star streaked across the Northern sky. It was followed by a Thunderclap and then a Lightning strike that hit in the trees immediately to the South of the clearing that the sacrificial pit was located. A fire began in the tree that was hit. This caused a stir among the men of the Tribe who immediately began filling buckets of water and splashing the tree that was ablaze. Women ran to the nearby village with their children in hopes of saving their possessions should the fire not be controlled. Even the Vikings began to board their ship to drift back away from where the fire was.
.
During the commotion, Thom could see the Orb had relocated to the rocky area just beyond the cave. He wiggled and wiggled until he loosened the leather bindings around his wrists. Once he was free, he ran over to the area where the Orb was. The door opened and he jumped in. With all that was going on with the tree fire, very few saw what had transpired and those that did were concerned otherwise.
.
And then, the Orb was gone. As Thom situated himself on board, he quizzed the EOB as to how he transported the Orb in short order.
Subliminally, of course, the EOB assured Thom that his mental capacities had been restored and with few exceptions, he would be able to redirect the Orb back in the direction of 2008.
