Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
Reunited
Walking across the shore of Lake Ontario, Lee and the Hoplite discussed what to do next. It was more Lee talking, the Hoplite just wanted to leave.
"Where am I to start with searching for Tina?" asked Lee. "She could have ended up in a hospital or on some shore surrounded by foliage or…"
"Or what, Lee?" asked the Hoplite. "Fell down a hole into the inner world of Pellucidar?"
"What?"
"Read a book!"
"Can you be serious?" Lee stopped walking and stared at the Hoplite. "If Tina is alive I have no idea where she even is!"
"Lee, relax. If contrived coincidence is a reality then you and Tina shall find each other."
"Do you really believe that?" asked Lee.
"I'm not sure but if this was a story we would have passed the climax and would be reaching the conclusion in just a moment." Replied the Hoplite. "And speaking of which, it is time the guest hero exits the story. I'm tired and I want to go home. Until we meet again, Lee!"
"Farewell, my friend." Said Lee. "And perhaps next time I may finally learn who you are."
And with that the Hoplite departed. They would meet again and indeed Lee would learn just who the Hoplite really was. But that was a story for another time.
As Lee walked along the shore of Lake Ontario, now alone and deep in thought he heard the sounds of footsteps. Lee turned around and there she was.
The End
