Jan. 10th, 2008 01:37 pmYou are standing on a beach.
There are seagulls swooping and looping through the air, chasing and racing each other for potential food sources, floating in the water then suddenly taking off for better vistas, all the while squawking at each other noisily. For a minute, you are content to just watch their antics, taste the cold salt air on your tongue, and listen to the ocean rush against the shore.
A scattering of pebbles hitting the water catches your attention, and you trace their origin to a figure wearing a familiar bomber jacket adorned with pins balancing on a cropping of rocks. “Ace?” you call.
“Yeah. Who else would I be?” she answers, picking her way to you. “Are we ready to go, Professor?”
( 'Go?' you echo, perplexed. 'Go where?' )
