Today the lovely LindaGHill said :Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “long.” Use the word “long,” any definition. Enjoy!
Push the button: Long
The force field lifted or opened either way my I could go forward safely. The children slipped in behind me.
Every one stopped and looked at me expectantly, there was a long silence .I did not know what to do so I waited. Finally after a few minutes, that felt like eons a young man approached me.
He had been at the back of the hanger and apparently started to walk up to meet me as I had entered. The hanger was so long it had take him all that time to get to me.
The next thing I know he is hugging me and welcoming me like an old friend. Then the whole hanger broke into a loud Hoorah! I was at a lost and not a little embarrassed by the whole situation.
“At last”he said “You are here we have been wait for you for a very long time.”I had no idea who they thought I was, hell I was not even sure who I was either.
This young man told me his name was John Long and he was commander of this transport Space Battle Station. Omg I thought they are rambling on about things of which I have no comprehension. I asked John who he thought I was he said he did not think and that he knew exactly who I was . Taking my hand he lead me to an anti room come office and indicated that I should sit at his desk.
John looked me straight in the eyes and said.” After the war started two hundred years ago “…..”Hang on” I said ” what war ?”. John silenced me with a wave of his hand and told me to listen, as we did not have much time and and the video message I was about to watch was rather long but it would explain everything . “Put this on ” he said handing me what looked like a pair of sunglasses!
I looked at him he smiled and touched my hand , “Go on” he said”Put them on and push the button! “
