James stumbled to a stop when he realised the jungle had changed to rocks and canyons. He cursed softly, he must really be out of it not to have noticed he'd gone through an anomaly.

He turned and hurried back to the, thankfully still open, anomaly as fast as he could. He wouldn't leave Abby; she'd be waiting for him and he'd never come.

The cub whimpered and hid, and James looked up as he heard the buzz of an aircraft.

James didn't pause as he stepped back into the past. Even if this was his time, he couldn't stay.

Lester is being very noble, lets hope that he manages to find his way back up to Abby without the prompts being too unkind to him :-)

So close, but it's good that he didn't leave Abby behind.

"James didn't pause as he stepped back into the past."

We know he'll do everything necessary.

Very noble, but I hope it is wise too.

Eeeek - I hope he's able to find Abby and get them all through the anomaly before it closes!!

James will always do what's needed for those he cares about.
Very evocative.

What for a wonderful loyal man. Maybe he will manage to return to the anomaly with Abby before it closes.

oh no! But he couldn't leave Abby alone like that, no matter what.

Lovely. There's no way he'd leave Abby.
