057: Surreal

Stacey held her breath and held Dale’s hand after he hit the switch. Her lungs ached. Her knuckles went white. The world around them exploded in psychedelic tie-dye and wildflower reds and oranges and yellows.

Something large and solid-looking flew out of the abyss at them. She opened her mouth to scream. No sound came out. The thing passed through them and the colors exploded into blinding white light.

She cracked her eyes open, hadn’t realized she’d closed them. "Dale?" Her voice was back.

"Did it work?"

She blinked and looked around. Dale was covering his eyes and not moving. They were somewhere in the desert.

"I-I think it did."

Dale opened his eyes. "It did? Are you sure?"

"We’re out of the museum, aren’t we?" she asked, not actually sure. "And there aren’t any bodies, are there?"

He nodded and wrapped his arms around her. "That was awful."

"Especially the part where the monkey decided you were its next sexual conquest."

Dale shuddered. "Yes, it was."
