The Dimension Travel Trilogy: A Three Part Science Fiction And Fantasy Novel (39 page)

"I believe that we should find this respectable creature because he didn't do anything nasty to us. I think that we should help him hunt and gather for dinner", said the mayor. "Why would you want to help him when you were extremely arrogant to him a few minutes ago?"

asked Light. "Because, he was very respectful towards us. And, I wasn't respectful towards him. Besides, we have hands and supermarkets that can give us the advantage to easily accessing food.

This creature has to hunt for the food and painstakingly drag it back to his abode, and bring it to his wife and, then she has to throw it on the grill or even eat it raw. I feel bad for them", answered the mayor.

"Well, are you going to find the nice creature?" asked Will.

"Yes, I think I will", answered the mayor. Mayor Stone started to get up from sitting for fifteen minutes at the placid pond. He started to walk through the dark woodlands to find the fox. Light and Will followed him into the dark deciduous forest. As the mayor was walking, he tripped on a stone and fell in the shallow six inch depth creek. He screamed for help and, Light and Will started to run down to the scene where the issue had taken place. When the benevolent robot and the respectful alien citizen arrived, the mayor was found unconscious.

"Should we continue going?" asked Light frantically. "We should carry him to one of the tents and from there, one of the county citizens will take care of him", answered a nonchalant Will. "Then, who will find the fox?" asked Light. "I'll do that", answered Will.

"Okay", replied Light. While the shapeshifting robot carried the mayor to the camp site, Will was on the hunt for the fox. The alien started to quietly walk through the woods. His steps were as silent as s church mouse. All of a sudden, the alien stopped. Noises in the fallen leaves were heard. But, these noises weren't Will Von Alien's footsteps. Instead, they were the fox's footsteps. The amicable alien called hollered the fox to come over to him. The fox interrupted his hunt for dinner and, walked over to the alien.

"What do you want?" asked the fox. "I want to help you fetch some dinner", answered Will. "Well, okay, it is quite peculiar as to why you would want to help me hunt down dinner. But, I guess it is okay with me", replied the fox. Both Will and the Fox quickly ran through the woodlands up to Lake Hunter. This Lake was one half of a mile long by a quarter of s mile wide. This lake featured a lot of animals. The fox and the alien walked up to a sandy part of the lake.

This portion of the lake is abundant with salmon. The fox said, "Now, you usually grab the prey with your mouth. But, because you have hands, you'll catch the animal with your hands." "Now, I never hunted down an animal. I never even fished in my life", replied Will.

"And, why would that be?" asked the fox. "I'll tell you later", answered Will nervously. "Okay", replied the gentle fox. "Now, I will try and get this fishing thing down pat", said Will. He placed his hand in the lake. From there, he witnessed a gigantic salmon fish coming up to the hand. The alien swooped his hand and caught the fish. The aquatic animal is gasping for water and squirming. Will has strong grip on the fish to the point where it passed away. This peculiar fish is about fifteen pounds and, was a Sockeye Salmon, which was native to this lake. This very slippery, scaly creature was one of the largest fish in the lake.

"Good job", said the forest animal. "For what?" asked Will.

"You were able to catch that fish easily", answered the fox. "It would be impossible for me to catch such a gigantic fish." "Oh really?"

asked Will. "Yes", answered the fox. "In fact, you know what, I will bring home this creature and, carry it all the way to the abode for you." "I didn't know that I was eating dinner with you all. I thought that I was doing this because you asked me to do this", replied Will. "

No, you must eat with me. Besides, you did a kind, chivalrous action by saving me a lot of important and tedious work to do", said the fox.

"While, we get to know each other, I would like it if we introduce each other and get to know each other", replied Will. Both the altruistic alien and the tender fox started to return on their way back to the abode where the fox lived. They walked at the same speed. "Now, I would like to know your name?" asked Will. "Jack Woodston", answered the fox. "And, what is your name?" "Will Von Alien", answered the selfless alien. "Where do you come from?"

asked Will. "England", answered the fox. "Starmos City", replied Will. "Where's that?" asked the fox.

"How about I tell you later", answered Will. "Okay", replied Jack. The two hiked quickly through the woodlands and, they made it to the placid pond. When they made it to the pond, the noticed Light, who was sitting on a gigantic boulder. "So, where's Tom?" asked Will.

"Frankly, I really don't know. I last saw him swimming into the pond vanishing into the misty fog. He's probably still in the lake", answered Light. The fox dropped the fish and asked the shapeshifting robot, if he would like to come over and eat at the abode. Light accepted the offer. And, all three of them walked to the fox's abode. "So, what are you doing at the lake?" asked Will "I was just sitting here waiting for you", answered Light.

"Okay", replied Will. They continued walking through the woods in a single file, with the benevolent alien holding the salmon, the fox leading the way, and Light falling behind to the point where Will and the fox started to vanish in the dense forest. The shapeshifting robot has to put on his infared specs. These specs look like typical sun glasses. Yet, it is so unique. Light started to wear the glasses. From there, he noticed movement by the valley. He ran over to the valley and, there are a couple of three foot drops leading into this gap. The shapeshifting robot managed to catch up with both Will and Jack.

"Oh my God, you move so fast", said the shapeshifting robot.

"Well, maybe, you move too slow", replied Will. The fox knocked on a small three foot tall door. Mrs. Woodston, Jack's wife opened the door. Standing behind the door, she asked, "Who is it?" "It's me honey", answered Jack. "Okay", replied the female fox. She opened the Treebark door. She is short and thin. She is currently apron. She is wearing a polka dot bow and, she has a very lovable and genuine attitude. She asked for all of the names of the guests. Light and Will gave their names to Mrs. Woodston.

From there, she welcomed the two guests into the home. The fox comfortably walked into the home. However, the other two guests are struggling to enter. They have to crawl on their elbows and kneecaps like soldiers in a military drill in order to get into the home.

After two minutes of struggling their way into the home, they managed to get in. Despite having a three foot door entry, they managed to enter the abode. When Tom and Light arrived in the home, they felt mind boggled, impressed, and stunned. This home is unique in every way, shape, and form. When one walks into the abode, they encounter a living room. Since this house is an abandoned cave, every room has to be separated by walls of dirt. The couches are made of leaves and sticks. And, the television lies on the stone floor.

There are stalagmites throughout the abode and, some of these peculiar rock formations are used as furniture pieces. The lamps are also quite bizarre and anachronistic. These lamps shine brightly in the house but, yet, they depended on oil. The floors are cold and hard like the floors of a penitentiary.

However, the floors have natural, ornate designs. "So, what do you think of the living room?" asked Mrs. Woodston. "I've never been in such an amazing place. This room is so unexpected because the first impression would never make me think that this house was this huge", answered Light. "Thank you", replied Mrs. Woodston. "You're very welcome", said Light. "There's much more for you and your friends to see", replied the female fox. All of the folks in the home started to walk out of the living room.

Followed by that, they walked into the kitchen. The kitchen and dining area are below sea level. Everyone, presently in the home, walked down stairs made of gigantic pieces of shale rock. These stairs are extremely unsafe because there is no railing present by the stairs.

Everyone managed to walk down the stairs safely, eventually making it into the kitchen and dining area. The height of the ceilings in this gigantic room reached a staggering forty feet tall. This gigantic room features over sixteen oil lamps, which brought plenty of light to the area. Along with that, there are three firepits in the room.

Two are used on daily and nightly basis. However, the other fire place would only be used during the winter season. The primary fire place is used to heat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The secondary fire place is used once a week to decimate the remainder of a meal.

And, the tertiary fireplace is often used only to heat the house during the cold seasons. The primary and secondary fire places are used on a daily and nightly basis. The dining table also has a unique appearance.

The table is a lowlying, traditional Japanese style dinner table. The guests and homeowners would sit on cushions for comfort.

Another, unique feature about this dining table is that the table is made of the same stone that is featured in the structure of the stairs.

The table set has an odd setup. The napkins are made of papyrus and the drinking devices are made of clay pottery. The two hundred year old, two pronged forks have a new appearance and, they had been placed behind the clay cups. There are metallic, hexagon shaped dishes that were placed behind the cup and the fork. There weren't any spoons, nor knives, or bowls. There weren't any closets to store any food. Whereas, the two foxes would have to go hunting and gathering every morning, aftternoon, and evening.

Predominantly, Mr. Woodston would have to gather and hunt for three meals per day. After that daily task has been completed, his wife would cook the three meals. Will, Light, and Mr. Woodston sat at the small shale stone dining table. It is easy for the fox to sit down.

However, it was tricky for Will and Light to sit down. They are struggling to fit their legs underneath the table. Eating at this table caused an uncomfortable feeling. The knees and shins felt like they were almost crushed by the heavy nine ton shale. While, the gentle fox, the amicable robot, and the benevolent alien were sitting at the table, the female fox walked up to the primary firepit.

A boiling pot is being used above the firepit. Tightly holding her paws on the hot pot, she walked to the secondary firepit, which is currently being used to burn the food scraps. Since, she is going to fully manage the primary firepit, a house fire would not have taken place because she is very stable and agile with her paws. "Jack, can you come over here?" asked Mrs. Woodston. "Sure", answered Jack.

He walked up to his wife and asked her, "What exactly do you need?"

"A gigantic skewer and a butchering knife", answered the female fox.

Down the left hallway on the first room to the right is the kitchen pantry. This pantry features three meshes in one basket. These three meshes filtered all of the water in the buckets. The top shelf features the pots and pans, which were made of clay.

Below that shelf were hatchets used for butchering the dinner.

Also, featured on the knife shelf are a bunch of skewers. The fox retrieved on gigantic, thirty six inch long skewer and, he also retrieved two pylons to support the skewer. It is extremely dangerous for him to carry the long skewer and support pylons at once because the support pylons are sharp. Carrying, the skewer, he ran into the kitchen and he gave the skewer to his wife. From there, he returned to the pantry to carry the two pylons to Mrs. Woodston. Standing by the pantry, he required help to carry the pylons. "Will, would you mind coming over here?" asked Jack. "Sure", answered the benevolent and chivalrous alien. He walked up to the male fox and retrieved the twenty fourth inch tall support pylons. After, retrieving the support pylons, he walked up to Mrs. Wooston and, he gave her the pylons.

After giving her the pylons, he returned to the table.

Jack then walked up to her with the butcher knife and, then he retrieved the raw dinner that is at the table. From there, he placed the fish on the counter and, his wife butchered the fifteen pound meal.

After quickly butchering the meal, he grabbed the scraps and tossed them into the secondary firepit. The skinned salmon was then impaled in the skewer. The cooking was complete fifteen minutes later. The delicious dinner has been placed on a clay tray and, brought over to the table. "So, what do you think?" she asked. "It smells great", answered Will. "I could assure you that it's better than what they're eating out there", said Light.

"Who are you talking about?" asked Mrs. Woodston.

"Evacuees", answered Light. "What happened?" asked Mrs.

Woodston. "We were forced to evacuate the town", answered Will.

"And, why would that take place?" asked the female fox. "This is what happened, we were in an alien city called Starmos City, which was an alien. Myself and Tom, a friend of mine, visited the Alien Estate. Cornelius Von Alien, a longtime friend of mine and the ruler of the city, welcome myself and Tom into the home. We toured the estate. Then, we walked into the conference hall. Due to the fact that I am a shapeshifting robot, it is hard for me to walk up and down stairs.

I asked him to turn the stairs into a ramp. He refused to do that. I started to walk down the stairs and, as I was walking down, he deliberately tripped me. My friend was infuriated so, he decided to beat up Cornelius. My friend carried my unconscious soul up into the dining room, which looked extravagant. The chandelier was beautiful and everything was nice in this room. I eventually woke up and, I noticed Cornelius was trying to poison my food with arsenic. That was when our friendship ended and, that was the beginning of an enemy relationship. Will, the one sitting next to me, put kerosene in my food, which exploded the oven. Cornelius became livid with the chef. Will walked into the dining room where Tom and I were sitting.

He advised me not to consume any of the foods. He gave a good dessert for us. But, he adulterated Cornelius's dessert with the poisonous arsenic. After poisoning Cornelius's meal, Tom and I along with the chef started to walk out of the estate. All of a sudden we were stopped by the royal guards of the Alien Estate. We were shackled and tossed into a pitch black room. This was an attempt to deprive our senses. After the sensory deprivation attempt, we were taken to the Royal Court and we were read the charges of treason and attempted murder and we were sentenced to life in the hole without parole", answered Light. "Can I continue to tell the story?" asked Will.
