felt weird lying there in the open. The cries of seabirds rang in her head. Tally sighed and sat up. Maybe if she had a little more to eat. She pulled out food packets one by one. The labels read: SpagBol SpagBol SpagBol SpagBol SpagBol . . . UGLIES 155 Tally counted forty-one more packets, enough for three SpagBols a day for two weeks. She leaned back and closed her eyes, suddenly exhausted. “Thank you, Dr. Cable.” A few minutes later, Tally was asleep.
THE WORST MISTAKE She was flying, skimming the ground with no track under her, not even a hoverboard, keeping herself aloft by sheer willpower and the wind in her outspread jacket. She skirted the edge of a massive cliff that overlooked a huge, black ocean. A flock of seabirds pursued her, their wild screams beating at her ears like Dr. Cable’s razor-edged voice. Suddenly, the stony cliffs beneath her cracked and fissured. A huge rift opened up, the ocean rushing in with a roar that drowned the seabirds’ cries. She found herself tumbling through the air, falling down toward the black water. The ocean swallowed her, filling her lungs, freezing her heart so that she couldn’t cry out. . . . “No!” Tally shouted, sitting bolt upright. A cold wind off the sea struck her face, clearing her head. Tally looked around, realizing that she was up on the cliffs, tangled in her sleeping bag. Tired, hungry, and desperate to pee, but not falling into oblivion. She took a deep breath. The seabirds still cried around her, but in the distance.
