Status complete
Billy was sleeping, relaxed, tossing in his bed. He was in mid-Europe, sometime before recorded history, trying to make life okay with his best friend, Cora Mallory. He had been there for four years, and wondered, really, if he and she would ever get to go home. They had started in Egypt, but revealing their powers had led to them being pursued by the Pharaoh, who wanted to be the only God in town. Now they lived in a community that treasured their gifts and treated them as valued members.
And that was good, but it was still not home.
Sometime, in that sleep, his mind floated free, and managed to connect with something, some pulling, that sent it soaring through the very mists of time. And then, suddenly, another pulling yanked it out of the mists and toward a body that mind had worn shortly.
Lorna! The area looked wild, western, like something out of Little Prairie,. or Back to the Future, part Three. And Lorna, Lorna was there, tending crops with metal tools floating around her. Billy’s mind sang as it shot toward her, and in.
Lorna! It’s me! Billy! Can you hear me?
He felt staticky, and he wondered, in his sleepy state, if he was really here, or if he was dreaming…
Lorna blinked, and the tools stilled. She frowned and thought as loud as she could. Billy? Are you here?
Ah, about that… I think not? I mean… I was just in ancient Europe, so… and then I was dreaming… so maybe this is a dream? Now he was confused, too.
Where are we? Er, you?
Colorado. . . ish. Lorna replied with a laugh. Think westerns and you’ve got the right era. How ancient are we talking, and how are we talking?
Wow! I, we, that is, Cora and I, were in Ancient Egypt, but like… er, well… before recorded history. There are… it’s wild. and I dunno. I went to sleep and then this happened!
That’s a big difference. Have you had any contact with the others? I’ve gone out looking for you and Scott, since I know what your EM signatures look like but I guess I know why I didn’t find you. She returned to her work, because the field wouldn’t sow itself. We’ve been here for about four months.
No. This is the first time. We’ve been here over four years now… Billy shifted in his sleep and his contact with her thinned for a moment, then strengthened again. I hope your stay is more peaceful than ours. We’ve had a few problems, but the last year has been a good one.
Good, I’m glad. Lorna said with a smile. If you get in touch with anyone else tell them we said hi and we’re in good health.
Will do. And you too! I hope things continue to go well for you. We even made some allies here, some people called Genesis… He felt some static roll across the connection somehow, and he almost lost her.
Guess whatever caused this is not working too well. Take care of yourself!.
You too! Lorna said, hoping he heard. She was relieved. The other travelers were always on her mind. She worried about them a great deal. At least she knew one pair was still alive, and hopefully more were as well.
Will do, I just hope…
And then he broke up again, and there was static, and he felt himself stirring and then sitting up with amazement in his eyes the connection lost. “Holy Moly!”
And then he forgot…
