HANK'S DOOR
Well, Hank sighed, this isn't Earth. The scene beyond the door would have resembled a rather pleasant outdoor scene, with rolling, if somewhat rocky foothills and green trees. What spoiled it was the presence of three large ape-like creatures. They had snow-white fur and single horns in the middle of their foreheads. A small group of them were crouched at the top of a small hill looking down on one of their number fighting a human.
The creatures were getting excited and preparing to join the attack. Hank drew back his bow and loosed three arrows in quick succession. The energy bolts encircled the creatures and bound them tightly, much to the surprise of the beasts. Hank turned to fire an arrow down into the small hollow below, but it proved unnecessary. The man had gotten some breathing room and drawn a strange weapon. A beam of light flashed out, striking the creature. It glowed brightly for a second before vanishing.
No, Hank sighed again, definitely not Earth. The creatures freed themselves and fled from the humans and their strange weapons. He closed the door.
NOT THE END
