The brother and sister stopped by the stone block overlooking the valley. In the center of the large green field stood a giant marble dais. The sister looked at the brother.

‘Listen Jake. You don’t have to come. I’ll go on alone. Please Jake.’
‘I’m not your baby brother anymore Leslie. I can take care of myself.’
He could tell she didn’t believe him.


She bit her lip and looked at him up and down.
‘It’s just that-‘
‘I know,’ he said, stomping his foot impatiently, ‘That Kate said the Shadow was waiting for me. But you won’t have a better chance fighting it without me. Paul trusts me. Why else would he send me here? He knew I was the best chance the resistance had.’



‘Jake, I- I learned something when I went to Rina.’ She fidgeted uncomfortably for a second, then continued, ‘she showed me a photo from when she was training with Paul.’

‘So?’ Jake interrupted, ‘Paul helped us. He helped me. Don’t you want that?’
‘Of course I do, Jake. But I don’t think Paul is who you think he is.’
‘You’re just jealous the resistance sent me to him and not you.’ Jake said bitterly.
‘Jake do you know how old Rina is?’ Leslie said, glaring at him.


‘I dunno, in her fifties or something?’ Jake shifted his feet, ‘but what does that have to do with anything? Paul was old too.’

‘Jake. Rina is 92. Paul’s been dead for years.’
Jake felt a shiver travel leisurely down his spine. He averted his eyes from his sister’s icy glance.

‘ But- but-‘ he stuttered.
‘Jake. Listen.’

‘No.* He backed away from her, holding out his finger.
‘You’re jealous. That’s it. You’re mad the resistance doesn’t think you’re worthy.’

‘Jake, you’re being ridiculous.’ She stepped towards him, but he stumbled backwards, lost his footing, and got up, running to the dais.

‘Jake!’ Leslie knew this was her last chance.

He turned towards her for a second.

‘At least let me come? The dais closes once one person goes through it.’
‘I knew that.’ He mumbled. He seemed to think for a moment. ‘ Ok, you can come.

But don’t come close or I’ll run through without you.’
‘Deal.’ Leslie said, tentatively moving towards him.

Looking behind him, he walked towards the dais. She hurried to catch up.
‘Last chance to stop Jake.’ She said.

He looked back, but his eyes were icy steel. She trembled. It was not her brother.
‘Oh, but Leslie, I have already started.’

I think he's still working on the broken screen on his computer, Zmaster. Those things aren't an overnight fix when you're a college student with limited funds.

I'll see if I can track him down and just check in, though.

Hello everyone (which seems at the moment to be Zmaster and Chuk)!

I currently have a broken laptop screen which I'm going to be getting replaced within the next two weeks or so. My thesis work has also been ramping up, to say nothing of all the work I've been doing for my other classes. Once I get my screen replaced, you have my word that I will grade the assignments posted here. If anyone else wants to do the current assignment, I will grade it at that time.

Until then, hang tight. I'll be back as soon as I can.
