14 Chapter 14

“Did you see that?” He turned to Matty.

“No? What was it?” Matty had been watching, but he hadn’t seen anything at all.

“A bit of light. Very faint.” Rob drew his hand back and repeated the sweeping motion. “Same thing...it’s a flickering glimmer. Almost where the air feels thickest...” He paused. “Sorry, I’m not making sense.”

“No, it’s all right. You are. I just don’t think we understand it at all.” Matty bit his lip. “Do you think the gate thing is still there?”

“Maybe? I’m not sure.” Rob stepped forward, deliberately crossing the demarcation line in front of them. Matty reached out, too late to stop him.

Nothing happened.

“There’s nothing here,” Rob stated, unnecessarily, turning toward Matty again, hands back in his pockets. He stared at the ground and stirred it some more with the toe of his boot. “Nothing at all.”

They stood in glum silence for a moment or two before Matty said, “Let’s get on then. Maybe we’ll find something in the books to make sense of it all.”
