"This Joyousness and dispersion of thought before a task of some importance seems to prove that this world of ours is not such a serious affair after all." -Joseph conrad

Listen Bernard (ch. 18)


"Listen, Bernard,” started Mark. “We either go now, or we stay and watch from the sidelines.”


The two stood, eyes squinted, staring into the sun. Looking out over the straits, ships could still be seen passing, train whistles still echoed through the hills, and the planes still roared in the sky - but for how long?


“I don’t think it’s going to come down to the collapse of the transportation system, Mark,” remarked Bernard emphatically.


“There were the strikes just last week, and with the petroleum shortage...” “I don’t buy it,” interrupted Bernard.


“I’m not selling anything, just think about it Bernard.”
