What was she doing in her house still if she was now across from the
third cave of the Zelandonii? As Marie turned her head she realized that
the light was still on. The light couldn't still be on if she had traveled
back in time to the ice age, and how would her house get there with her?
All of this was impossible, she must be dreaming. She lay back down on her
bed and closed her eyes.
When she awoke it was night, but the light was still on. She didn't trust herself to look out the window. She silently wished that she was still by the third cave, but doubted it was true and worried if it might be. When she turned her head to look out the window she realized she couldn't see anything. Well of course she couldn't, it was nighttime, but she could always see things in San Francisco because of the streetlights. Maybe there was a power outage, but then how was her light on? It could be that the generator was on, but wouldn't other people have their generators on? Maybe some prankster had unscrewed all the light bulbs in the street lamps, no that didn't make any sense.
She could always turn on the news to find out. It worked! The television was actually working. There was a man sitting there talking about the weather. How an earthquake was expected. Expected? The earthquake already happened...or maybe that was a dream too. She listened more intently.
"An earthquake is expected for Friday April 30th, be prepared people. Now back to Lindsey." April 30th was yesterday. Her clock said that it was 2 pm, that meant today was May 1st. Marie wearily sat back down on her bed. That didn't explain anything.
