Anza Qi Paper Back 6x9

Solo, our pilot asks, “What just happened?”
As his Universal Portal Prompter materializes, Duo, the
navigator, replies, “Let’s see,” Duo’s fingers move like a
flash over the futuristic keypad. The screen is scanning
through a variety of images and captures a threedimensional
event of a raven and the bronze statue of a
horse traveling in space; multi-snapping at the screen in an
attempt to jump out of the Prompter.
The trans-dimensional happening is destined for the
Twenty-first Century mid-western U. S. A. Planet Earth.
With a brilliant flash of light and thunderous clap, the
fluid bronze statue of the horse, 'Runs like the Wind', and
the raven pass through the roof of an abandoned barn on
the Qi Farm.
Our Starcruiser materializes. Suddenly without a word
from our pilot or navigator the Universal Portal Prompter
expands, sucking us into it with a zap, we are auto-secured
in the quasi-invisible XR trans-tension restraint system and
we find ourselves traveling through a space-time continuum
arriving on Planet Earth simultaneously with the raven
and bronze horse. Totfote dematerializes as it did before,
the XR restraints release, but this time we become semifluid
beings that can move through walls to observe the
happenings without being noticed, leaving us disorientated
and wondering what is going to happen next.
The fluid statue materializes as it lands in the center of
the room with a thunderous clap and a brilliant flash of
light. The raven is close behind landing in the rafters.

In an adjacent meadow, a synchronistic winter day on
the Planet Earth, thirteen-year-old Anza Qi and his cousin
Qingling, also thirteen are riding their horses and hear the
deafening sound.
