The Missing Pages of Time

Chapter 2

The bright light that filled the room blinded them, as a strange floating sensation overtook their senses. As the light started to fade, they could make out their surroundings; it appeared to be the back of a limousine. At the front, a small hatch slid open, revealing a man peering back at them.
