The Quest Part 1

Chapter One

Emily was sitting at his computer again talking to God. This was a common occurrence over the last several years. Emily talked to God at any site he thought God might frequent. Today, God answered.

Emily?

God? That you?

I'm sending you a link to a url. Go there. There you will find a family of souls trapped in a pond. Let them out.

Just one quick question on the meaning of a couple things...

OUT!

****.

Emily Opened the link. He found himself standing at the edge of a small pond. Inside the pond he could see feet and hands and hair of several people. He felt sick in his stomach. To gather his bearings he looked left and saw beautiful mountains. To his right, across the pond, was a bubbling spring. He could feel the seismic activity of the tectonic plates underneath. He thought for a moment. He walked forward a step or two. He looked at the mountains, the pond, the spring. They were all in a straight line.

Emily felt a sense of understanding. He turned to his left and took two paces. There he found what he expected. It was a small round hole just big enough for a man to climb into. It was shaped like a washtub. He took two steps backwards and began to jump up and down. He didn't know why he was doing this. He just felt it was right.

The Earth began to stir. There were quakes. Emily kept to his disciplined rhythm. His feet hit the Earth and he was projected through time and space back to his seat behind the monitor.

"That's friggin weird." he said.
