They started small once they figured out the portico’s controls. A few minutes, an hour, a day, a week… It was hard to tell if the thing was working sometimes, until Dale started writing down the time on his watch.
Only after he was reasonable sure Stacey knew the controls well enough to tell him what to hit did he suggest going a little farther.
It was nerve wrecking and Stacey made no secret of her fears. She squeezed his hand tightly and prayed like she hadn’t prayed in a very long time, sure they’d land in a volcano.
Her fears were unfounded, though, and the experiment went off without a hitch. Dale gasped and pointed. She looked. And saw nothing.
“Dale Yorkes, I will kill you,” she threatened. He chuckled and stroked her hand, entirely unapologetic.
