Chapter Fourteen
There was absolutely no feeling, no pain, no
pleasure. As Frederick had said, it was just like stepping through a doorway, a
portal. I emerged at the other side, feeling perfectly normal, though somewhat
dazed and disoriented. When my eyes finally focused, I noticed that Tim was
there, staring at me with a quite frightened expression set upon his face, his
eyes wide.
I looked at him questioningly. “What?”
“You— When you came through, you were
just, uh, you were a skeleton. And then all these muscles and flesh sort of grew
out of nowhere, until you became yourself again.”
“Tim,” I said. “After all I’ve seen, I
don’t have a shred of doubt that what you say is true.” And I had a feeling we
were gonna see a whole lot more. “So it’s like you’re totally rebuilt at the
other end of the tunnel, I guess.”
Tim nodded. “Still, wonder if it’s
like dying and being born again.”
I shrugged. “Had Frederick still been
here, he might’ve explained.”
And then I remembered what had
happened and where we stood.
We were in hell.
