We're so high that the railroad below is a miniature toy train set.
“We stay together", Ellie affirms, squeezing my hand.
But I'm afraid. My soul drops as the dragon screeches. The beast is prehistoric, modern-day, and futuristic... all at once. Life has become a video game.
Ellie hugs me. We’re still grasping hands. It's over.
"Search for me," she says, kissing my forehead.
"I won't recognize you!"
"You will."
We jump.
Silence; except for heartbeats:
ker-thud…ker-thud….ker-thud...
I wake up on a train. What level is this?
I don't know the strange child beside me. But somehow, I do.
"Ellie?"

This was something else. Whenever You branch off into a different genre of fiction, Gina, You always manage to crush it. The "ker-thud"s scared me, though.
Bravo, Gina! Congrats too!
