Reply to: b5-creative@blob.best.net To: b5-creative@blob.best.net Subject: Web Of Shadows (p.1) Hi all, Sorry it took me sooooo long to post this story but with things beings so hectic in work and over Xmas I just had not got the time to sit down and get this done.As this is my first serious attempt at writing,I was hoping it would be possible to get plenty of feedback. The first part is fairly short as i need information on Zha'Ha'Dum and the Icarus,If anybody can help with this it would be much appreciated.Well here goes.... ********************************************* A WEB OF SHADOWS P.1 "John,where are you,John" Sheridan's whole body tensed at the sound of that voice.He turned sharply to find himself no longer safe in his mothers arms,but falling into a lightless void that was impossibly black.He tumbled endlessly for what seemed like ages before bumping to a halt.Darkness spread infinatum in every direction,his mind reeled unable to control the strong feeling nausea of vertigo. "John,i need you.",the voice echoed again. He spun about as a stretch of lights revealed an earlier concealed corridor.The corridor stretched beyond the limit of his sight. "John",again the voice called more desperate this time.The voiced echoed down the corridor,each new repetition sounding more urgent than the last. At last recognition dawned on him, "Anne",he shouted over and over again,before setting of down the corridor in a stumbling rush.Headlong he hurtled along the corridor regrdless of precaution.A sheen of sweat formed on his forehead as the effort began to wear him out.His lunges heaved,his body nearing exhaustion when he came crashing into a large chamber.Bright lights flashed on ,blinding him and bringing him to a halt.As his eyes adjusted,he began to make out a sillohuette in the distance.On he ran until his body finally gave in,collapsing from exhaustion not ten feet from the figure. Inhaling and exhaling rapidly he looked up.At once both longing and revulsion filled him as he stared into lifeless Anne's lifeless eyes. "John",she pleaded her arms spread wide.His mind was in a turmoil ,a conflict of love and horror threw his mind into disarray,when suddenly a vast chasm opened beneath her swallowing her whole. "Joooooohhhhhhnnnnn"she screamed terrified.With an enormous effort he plunged after not willing to lose her a second time. "Annnnneeeee". ***************************************************************************** "Commander an unauthorised ship is coming through the gate,seems badly dayaged"lt.Murphy announced. Ivonova cursed silently under her breath,she had a feeling this was going to be a bad day "Deploy a med ship and Beta squadron to carry her in as soon as she comes through" "Commander,i think there is something you should know"he cringed slightly as Ivonova frowned,"It's EA.It was called the Icarus" (continued next post) , Please all feedback is welcome, Regards Jonathan.
