flying low



by genghis gilgamesh




doctor x was walking across the desert when war was declared and the truth was revealed at last.

he felt in his pocket for his wallet.

perhaps, the doctor thought, i am being a bit hasty.

luck may still be my lady, as it was on that long ago afternoon.

he decided to soldier on.

after all, doctor karlson was still his friend, despite their little spat about nothong much.

*

yeti was walking down a dark highway when all hell broke loose and he heard a voice.

he was in no wise daunted , as he heard voices all the time.

but he wished he was back in trenton, eating a turkey sandwich and drinking a lemon sprite,

funny - he had not seen a car on the dark highway for almost an hour.

eternity seemed empty all of a sudden.

maybe things just happened after all.

*

jonah was hitchhiking on the broad highway when a plane appeared in the sky and the earth shook.

he wondered where alice was, and if she had finally found her emptiness.

the kingdom was still under the earth, waiting to be discovered.

there was still time to be saved,

suddenly jonah realized that he understood nothing.

a dragon appeared in the distance, flying low.

*

zeke smith was running across a dark highway when a storm broke and the truth was revealed at last.

he wondered where doctor x, yeti, and jonah were at this moment.

yeti had always sincerely sought the truth, like zeke himself.

he was not so sure about the other two.

it was easy, too easy , to blame maria for everything.

*

on the other side of the mountain, sheriff john brown gassed up his old truck, betsy, and checked that he had enough shells for his shotgun, bertha.

the time had come.

but where was the pizza he had ordered an hour ago?
