James settled Jon in the scant shade provided by a lone outcrop of rock thrusting upwards from the parched land. He squeezed Jon's shoulder before joining Helen as she stared out over the desolation they still had to cross.

James wonder if they'd make it, Jon wasn't the only one exhausted, and they still had miles to walk across a harsh wasteland where dust devils played amongst the bleached and scattered bones of others who had tried to cross it.

“We'll miss the anomaly.”

James looked up at Helen, a smile flickering across his face. “Mad dogs and Englishmen, Helen.”

Hee - that's telling her, Lester!

Glad you liked that, although I doubt Helen is amused ;)

Thanks for reading.

Nice one. James is not listening to Helen on this one.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it. No, James is definitely not, he's not going to leave Jon behind.

Thanks for reading.

Eeek! I'm not sure I fancy their chances across that wasteland! Good use of the prompt

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

James doesn't either, but they've got to do it possibly better if they wait until dusk/night *vbeg*

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Nice use of the prompt. *g* If James and Jon are the Englishmen does that make Helen the mad dog?

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it. Hee, James is too much the gentleman to answer that question ;)

Thanks for reading.

Sounds like a choice between the lesser of two evils there.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Definitely, they need to get to the anomaly, but dying doing so isn't high on James' list of things to do.

Thanks for reading.

Very tough times, but I'm sure LEster won't give up.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* It is not a good place to be, but Lester doesn't believe in surrendering.

Thanks for reading.
