As soon as they walked out of the company Thomas recalled that he had not asked his father about the mystery of this place and why they weren't standing on the floor rather everything was on air. When he finally asked him his father gazed at him like he was a psychopath.Tony's response was so weird and Thomas couldn't believe that after that answer he was still standing right next to him; Tony had said that things had been that way from the start, he even went further to say that Thomas was the one acting strange.Tony took it lightly but to Thomas it was a serious problem however his love for his family propelled him to ignore it.Some minutes later Tony pulled over in front of their house as they both came out of the car. Thomas confirmed it to be their house but suspended on air it looked so stupid to him.The garden which was a spot he and Ashley usually play was no longer there, rather it was some meters downwards."What are you waiting for, come on," Tony beckoned with his hand

Thomas picked up suspicions, it was absolutely obvious that something wasn't right but he must find out what it was.There is so much to do, where do I start? He thought to himself and perplexed by the occurrences he left the room.Thomas went down to the sitting room as he saw his father already dressed up for work and his mother walked out through the first floor passage into the sitting room, She was also dressed officially which was unlike how he knew things to be. Thomas knew that as far as he could remember Emily wasn't working and he had known her that way ever since he was little and that was Tony's decision so that got him curious."Good morning," Thomas greeted to have their attention as they stopped their hasty movements and turned around to see him."Oh sweetheart, I didn't see you there," Emily said. " How was your night?" "Great but, why are you dressed up so seriously?" He asked her.Emily wrenched her face like his question was weird and she said. "What do you mean b

"Deal," Dylan said as he exchanged handshakes with Thomas.Together they left the hotel and Dylan offered to take Thomas on a ride as they headed for the mountains where the fourth portal was.During the ride Thomas saw Dylan staring at him through the rear-view mirror and he could do nothing but get curious and he decided to steal the moment and find out a little about why Dylan had accepted to join them in performing such wickedness eventhough he hated the idea."It's complicated, it was never what I intended," Dylan wrenched his face like he was perplexed. "I never wanted to do it but I had no other choice,""What do you mean by that? Of course we all have the right to make choices," Thomas interrupted.Dylan however heaved a sigh as he looked at the rear-view mirror again and said. "I know I had a choice to make and I made a wrong choice because if I didn't, the life of my son and that of my wife will be at stake. My child would have not lived up to this day if I had not agreed to

It was far beyond doom, it was far beyond an apocalypse. it was more of an irreversible curse, one which they will have to suffer until the race of humans was finally over. If this was what scientists predicted to happen to the human race in the nearest future then Thomas was not interested in science anymore, he would give it all up, it was never, and will never be the way to true harmony and peace.These creatures are not to have existed. Thomas thought to himself.After many miles of ride away from the noise, deeper into the city he arrived at his house. He checked the time and it was almost three a.m. In the morning, everyone was feeling relaxed and it was so quiet and empty outside his neighbourhood.They all didn't have a clue of what was coming but the only safe thing to do was alarm them. Thomas picked up the sharp object he had used to start the car as he began to smash it on the glass until it finally shattered.Thomas crept out of the car then he rushed into his house, hasti

That night was a night Thomas would never forget, a night he saw his family murdered brutally and his city turn into a place of torment, the voice of crying, wailing and even many innocents slain. If only the hand of the clock could be rewind he would have done better, he would not have trusted Dylan, things would have been done differently.Under the moonlight he could see his elder brother's hands quivering on the steering and his lips trembling.He didn't stop the car to take a break until the sun fully came up, they had no idea where they were going but Thomas knew Matt was taking them as far away from New York City as possible."We should take a break Matt," Thomas said.Matt didn't answer a word not until Thomas repeated himself. "No Thomas, we can't stay here,""I said stop the car Matt, goodness you don't even have a clue where you are taking us!" Thomas said aloud and Matt held the brake screeching the car wheels to the side of the road."Get out!" Matt said."What?""I said
