The Great Beyond
Ray did not expect his life to take the turns it did. He had always been a simple man who enjoyed modest pleasures and a few travel experiences. In fact, he thought he might have travelled more. But life just sort of happened and he never got around to the things he wanted to see.
Now, on the biggest journey of his life, going places he could only imagine in his dreams, he is not sure he wants to be on this path. He is not sure how he got on this path or where it will take him next. Perhaps the biggest question is, “Who is in control?”
“He sprawled in the sand outside the fort just beyond the reach of light and sound. The drawbridge came down with a crash, narrowly missing his feet. The woman in all her terror stood at the end of the giant bridge towering over Ray. She seemed to scream his name, but no sound came out. Her form turned ghostly and a breeze tore through her as if she were made of smoke. Ray heard the drawbridge creaking back into place as all around him went black.”
