The Land of the Cyclops Well my prayer didn’t come true. We had another very strange couple of days. Our ship came upon an island of Cyclops. What strange creatures they are.

Grasping the little girl I ran and ran‚ forcing myself not to look back. They were following me‚ chasing me‚ never giving up. This was to the death. Suddenly all was silent. No more did I hear bloody battle cries screamed by the monsters in their hideous language‚ or even the thud of their heavy feet hitting the metallic floor on which we stood. Finally‚ I stopped.

Maya Jones shivered‚ her eyes falling shut. She threw her head back‚ a small moan escaping her parted lips. She felt herself losing control of her body. She began to feel light like a feather‚ and no longer felt any worries. Maya felt the bed beneath her dissolve as she began to float. This was a feeling she’s never felt before‚ it’s what most people would call an ‘out of body experience.’ “Don’t stop.” she whispered. “Please.” Denver’s lips found her ear where he gently bit on her ear lobe.
