Chapter Five
The Emperor Of Sand
Hannah ran.
"Run!" Shouted the Doctor.
"And why wouldn't I?"
"You might be stupid."
"What, stupid enough not to run away from a sand man? Nobody's that stupid."
"That's not a sand man. There's only one sand man. The sand man's the Emperor of the sand people on Galifrey."
"So that's a sand person from Galinaus? Where's Galinaus?"
"Galifrey is my home planet. And that thing chasing us isn't a sand person. There all dead."
"Quick it's catching up."
They ran down corridors, through doors and cabins, past the Captain's room and up on deck. They had left and where already in open sea. The Tardis was still there but had been knocked over by a storm and was lying on it's side.
"Your box has fallen over." Said Hannah.
She walked over to it and opened the door.
"No don't go in there!" Said The Doctor.
She crawled into the doorway and fell, hit her side on the flight console and landed snugly in the opposite roundel.
"Why is the floor on the wall?" She said. "And why is it bigger on the inside than the outside?"
"It's fallen on it's side remember?" Said the Doctor.
It was then that they heard a voice from behind them say:
"Champagne?" In a voice from hell.
