The Edmond Hamilton Megapack: 16 Classic Science Fiction Tales - Plot & Excerpts
He stared fixedly at the ground ahead, noting every rock, guiding the jeep carefully across shallow gullies, driving as though there were nothing in the universe but the mechanical act. He envied the jeep its ability to chug unemotionally over the end of the world. It struck him as so amusing that he laughed a little. Hubble’s fingers clamped his shoulder, hard enough to hurt even through the heavy coat. “Don’t, Ken.” Kenniston turned his head. He saw that Hubble’s face was drawn and gray, and that his eyes were almost pleading. “I’m sorry,” he said. Hubble nodded. “I know. I’m having a hard enough time hanging on myself.” They went on across the empty plain, toward the low skeletal hills that were like bony knees thrust up from the ocher dust. Soon the jeep was climbing an easy slope, its motor clattering and roaring. Somehow, the familiar motor sound only served to emphasize the fact that around them lay the silence and red dusk of world’s end. Kenniston wished that Hubble would say something, anything.
