more of a risk.”
They all agreed on this idea and moments later each of them laid their hands upon the crystal but “only for a second,” Clark insisted.
Clark and Sarah touched it.
Donny and Chloe touched it.
John and Charles touched it.
Big Dan and Andrew touched it.
As each of them t ouched it, random colors emitted from the crystal. A different color entered each of their palms but physically they felt nothing. None of them could imagine what would happen next.
CHAPTER 4
Clark awoke the next morning with no recollection of how he got home. While in bed his head was spinning when he wiped his eyes to clear his vision. Clad in pajama bottoms, he was lying in bed and nothing seemed out of place. But he thought and thought and couldn’t remember anything after touching the giant crystal on Saturday night. He sat up in bed and coughed. Then he reached for a box of tissues on his nightstand. The moment he stretched his arms out the box of tissues lifted off the nightstand and shot directly into his hand.
“What the fuck !?” Clark said aloud as he stared at the tissue box that lied in his hand. He quickly dropped the box and jumped out of his bed. He looked out the window and half shut his eyes as the sun beamed at him. Immediately, the curtains shut themselves. His jaw dropped.
“Good morning, Mrs. O’Sullivan,” Sarah’s voice said from downstairs.
“Come on in, Sarah,” Clark’s mother said. “Clark is right up stairs. Nice to see you this fine Sunday morning.”
Clark heard Sarah dash upstairs. His door open ed. She ran in and shut it behind her.
“Sarah!” Clark said with urgency. “What’s going on?”
“I don’t know,” Sarah said. “I can’t remember how I got home. I just woke up this morning with a headache. I went to the bathroom and the medicine cabinets flew open. I tried to act calm so I went to the kitchen to have breakfast with my parents.”
“Yeah?” Clark said.
“And then my bowl of cereal just started spinning. My dad asked if you taught me some sort of magic trick.”
“Did you talk to anyone?” Clark asked.
“Yeah,” Sarah said. “I called Chloe. She said her and Donny were experiencing similar things. Then I rushed here to you.”
“You think it was that thing in the barn?” Clark asked . “We all touched it.”
Clark took his pajama s off. He quickly got dressed and he grabbed his cell phone.
“Who are you calling?” Sarah asked.
“Andrew,” Clark answered. The phone rang several times and went to voicemail. “He’s not answering.”
“Try someone else!” Sarah said.
Clark dialed another number. “Calling Big Dan,” he told Sarah. His phone also went to voicemail. “He’s not answering either.”
“Try Charles or John,” Sarah said. “I remember they were with us last night too.”
Just as Clark was about to call another number, he heard the doorbell ring. Clark opened his bedroom door and could hear his mother answer the front door.
“Why hello, Charles,” Clark’s mother said.
“Hey , Mrs. O’Sullivan,” Charles said. “I’m looking for Clark.”
“Oh, he’s upstairs with his girlfriend,” Clark’s mother told him.
“Great!” Charles said. “I’m looking for her too.”
Clark and Sarah both ran down the stairs and into the living room.
“Oh, there they are now,” Clark’s mother told Charles.
“Hey Charles,” Clark waved.
“Mrs. O’Sullivan,” Charles said to Clark’s mom, “I’m gonna need to take these two lovebirds off your hands for a moment.”
“Sure,” she replied.
Clark waved to his mom as he exited the house along with Sarah and Charles. Outside of Clark’s house was Charles’s car. John was sitting in the passenger seat, sans trench coat, so Clark and Sarah jumped in the backseat. The car took off down the street when Charles spoke again.
“Do you know why I came here for you? Have you two experienced anything? ” Charles said to Clark and Sarah. They
