The Gift of Illusion: a Thriller
“A few of the leaves landed on the blue Escort as it hiked down the narrow trail kicking dirt out the back of its tires.
James Ackerman stopped the car suddenly as he arrived at a fork in the road. He looked both ways trying to remember which path he had taken hours ago. According to the clock radio, it was almost seven in the morning. He had survived the night hiding out by Catfish Creek, but there wasn't much time left now. Resources were running low. This body was getting weaker by the minute..., this mind further exhausted. Death was waiting just over the next horizon. He needed to initiate new contact, change course, or risk becoming trapped on a sinking vessel.
James reached underneath the front passenger seat to retrieve the stone figurine. His gateway. He would only use it as a last resort. He slid the small statue into the interior pocket of his sport coat, abandoned the Escort in the center of the fork, and walked west through the woods. Twenty minutes later, he stepped out of the woods on to Parker Avenue.MoreLess
