Reappearance
There was a pause of several seconds where nothing at all happened. Amy's cry had been cut off in the middle of a scream as though she had simply ceased to exist. Dennis looked at me in mute horror and then at the wall, obviously wondering if he was to be next.
Abruptly, the girl's arm came into view again, sticking out through the apparently solid rock, and it was quickly followed by the rest of her. Though still screaming like a banshee as she collapsed to the ground, she was unharmed. That was precisely what I had hoped for.
