The Cydonian Pyramid (2013)
“Lia hit feet-first and rolled. She jumped up and looked around. She was alone, standing on a flat rectangular surface covered with tiny pebbles. She understood at once that this was the roof of a building. A knee-high parapet surrounded the edge of the roof.
The Gate hovered an arm’s length above her. Lia backed away from it, fearing that the Lambs would follow her through. She looked around, searching for a way off. The roof was studded with an assortment of pipes and vents. She looked over the parapet down onto a street. Several autos of ancient design were parked along the curb. The street was lined with buildings of various sizes and shapes. Her history tutor, Brother Von, had shown her images of such cities from the distant past.
There were several people on the street: a man in a white coat sweeping the sidewalk, a pair of women wearing blue trousers and colorful tops, a boy on a bicycle, and others. The city was not large. In the distance, she could see fields of corn and other crops.
