Oksa Pollock: The Last Hope (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
At the end of the corridor, a steel security door opened onto the gangway which led to the mysterious silo. As with the outer gate, the door opened as soon as Abakum introduced the green scarab beetle into the lock. They walked along the gangway and came out into the silo, which had been converted into a giant hothouse. A translucent domed ceiling bathed the entire space in a milky light, and some tiny golden birds welcomed the master of the house and his guests by singing loudly. “Hello, Ptitchkins,” said Abakum, greeting them.“Hey! Baba has some bird-shaped earrings exactly like these,” blurted Oksa, blinking as she tried to focus on them.“I wonder if they’re not actually real birds,” replied Abakum with a mischievous grin. “Oh, Abakum, stop pulling my leg!”“Look a little more closely next time your gran wears them,” he advised.“You two are unbelievable,” said Oksa. “Arrrgh, what’s that?” she yelled, suddenly grabbing Abakum’s arm.An enormous swarm of insects had taken to the air and were abruptly changing direction like starlings as they flew.
