Pegasus Part 35

This was the first time I had ever been thoroughly drenched.

“Stop complaining, you’ll be fine. It will be over in a few minutes. And anyway, you’ll dry out in the heat anyways!” Tabitha yelled back.

It was so weird to have water running down my face when I was not in the shower. Hopefully, it was not a harbinger of things to come.

Then, I thought I saw something amongst the dense trees.

“What was that?”

For a moment I thought my heart had stopped, and I realized that some rain should be the least of my worries. There was a wild, dystopian world out there.

“Don’t worry, this is an exclusion zone. You are safe,” Tabitha said matter of fact.

A few minutes later the beating rain stopped. I should have been happy but couldn’t shake an eerie feeling.

Then the trees gave way and we started going uphill, then onto a pathway with steep, sheer rock walls on either side.

Then I heard a murderous, bizarre sound from behind me. I quickly looked behind me.

Fuck, it was one of the monsters. It stood about my height on its hind legs with great white sharp teeth.

“Run, run as fast as you can.”

It was gaining on me and my legs couldn’t go any faster.

Pegasus (Part 31)

Gradually, the light faded and it became night in the habitat. It was now close to pitch black except for very dim lighting. But, you could still hear the massive creatures and occasionally smell what they left behind them. I wondered what magnificent or terrifying sights I would behold the next day.

“It’s amazing what has been built here, isn’t?”

Tabitha raised her head from my shoulder and stared at me.

“It’s terrible. There are billions of humans engaged in a living nightmare on Earth. I’ve been to London. They are forced to try to survive underground most of the time, drink filthy water, and eat barely edible food. This would be heaven on earth for them. And some of them were the best type of people. Instead, it’s one man’s playground. He’ll never even set his eyes on the majority of it.”

“Yes you’re right,” I replied wondering how things suddenly got so serious.

“It’s important, this is what I’ve given up my life for. I know you are new to all this but you must realize how important this cause is to me.”

” I know, and it’s important to me too.”

With that, she held my hand and put her head back on my shoulder.
