Find Me Where The Water Ends (So Close To You) - Plot & Excerpts
This can’t be right. I’m supposed to be in the woods. I crawl to my feet, touching those familiar smooth walls, the manual control panel built into the side. My fingers shake against the still warm metal. I’m in another TM. The door slides open. A man in a white lab coat is standing there, his light hair slicked to one side, his pale eyes wide behind thick, black-rimmed glasses. “You’re not one of our s-subjects,” he stammers. I straighten fully, ignoring the way my back spasms, my arms tremble, the lingering effects of the TM tearing through my body. “What’s the date?” “W-what?” “The date. What is it?” “May fourth, nineteen forty-five.” My stomach dips as though I’m standing on the edge of a cliff looking down and knowing I have to jump. Two years late. “You’re n-not supposed to be here.” “No. I’m not.” He opens his mouth to scream for help and I launch myself out of the TM, kicking him directly in the jaw. His head snaps to the side and he starts to drop, but I grab his body before he can fall and lower him gently down.
