A    preview    of    an    unnamed    story....

I lept forward. Okay, probably not the smartest thing, but the only thing I could think of at the time. I grabbed at the knob, with both hands, and suprised myself by catching it and holding on. In one swift movement, I swung backwards and dropped down. Again, not the smartest thing. But there wasn't much else I could do. I couldn't hold on to that tiny knob forever. Knowing my fate, which laid below me, I closed my eyes, then opened them again to look up at my friends. A small flock of raptors, completely mismatched, soared out the door and towards the sky, free. I closed my eyes again. This wasn't a sight I wanted to see. Not when I was going to die and my friends were going to live. But then, I reminded myself, it had been my desision and not theirs. Suddenly, the world stopped. Completely stopped. The birds above me stopped flying. Hork-Bajir, obviously mad, stopped charging. Life itself seemed to come to a halt. All except for me. I was still animate. Amazed, tired, and scared to death, but animate. It was amazing. I WASN'T falling to my doom! Then came the voice...

"ADRIANA. YOU HAVE A CHOICE," it said. I looked up, glancing around nervously.

"Who are you?!" I demanded.

"I AM AN ELLIMIST. AND YOU HAVE A CHOICE. YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE, ADRIANA. THAT CAN BE STOPPED. YOU CAN GO BACK, TO THE BEGINNING OF THE MISSION, AND VOTE TO ABORT IT. OR YOU CAN CONTINUE AND DESTROY YOURSELF..AND THE REST OF YOUR FRIENDS, ALL EXCEPT FOR ONE," the Ellimist explained.

"I don't understand!" I yelled. "Who cares if we abort?"

"THIS WAS TO BE A VITAL BLOW AGAINST THE YEERKS. THE ONE THAT MEANT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VICTORY AND DEFEAT. IF YOU CONTINUE, YOU WILL DIE, ALONG WITH ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS, ALL EXCEPT FOR ONE. IF YOU DECIDE TO ABORT, YOUR LIVES WILL BE SAVED," he answered. I gasped. It was a worthwhile choice at first...save our lives, or the universe?
