THE GREAT ESCAPE
As Walker and Thomas hovered around, the alien base, in their comannadeered alien aircraft, the pupa mark 2, Walker felt a sudden trepidation. Half an hour ago he had been itching to destroy the base, and head back to New York…however, after talking to dawdlers, he felt horrible…about the war, about the aliens, about everything…….
