Chapter Seventeen

The next few minutes morphed into a swirl

of panic, horror and confusion.

One minute Jay was yelling and rushing

towards the monster. It had Abby tucked

under one arm – its other arm held up across

its eyes as it squinted against the sand storm.

Jay knew that he had to get the Groundling

to turn back and look at him if he was to have

any chance of using the weapon. But as he

yelled and threw himself at the creature he

stumbled and dropped the blitzer.

Abby was screaming. The Groundling was

snarling and kicking at the sand. Jay was

gasping and choking on the dust as it

swooshed into his eyes and mouth.
