27 Without Wings

Into the dark tunnel, the light was shy to appear and they could not see the end of it.

He just stared through the glass door and when the wall stood in front of him, the glass moved down sinking to the floor like a magic work. What remained was emptiness and silence, as though the port had not existed before even Alex’s terrible curse was gone.

“Save him.”
