Flat Earth – Brent Golembiewski

I’ll get the other one.” Ariel looked back at the car. Carol was still sitting in the back seat. “Can’t she drive?” They both looked at Carol. She jutted out her chin in disapproval. James turned to Ariel, “Women can’t drive here.” Ariel gave him a death stare, “Are you serious?” James slowly nodded his head, wincing as if he was about to get hit with something.

“Uggh, Earthlings are ridiculous. Girl, come hold the door.” “I have a name,” Carol grumbled. The barn was old and rundown, like it hadn’t been used in years and the doors wouldn’t stay open due to the building’s lean. James and Carol held the doors while Ariel drove through. Once inside, they buttoned up the barn. “We’ll sleep here tonight. J, what do you know about the wheat shipments?”

“Wheat shipments? Where’s your spaceship?” Ariel took a deep breath. “I told you. It was destroyed. What do you know about the wheat shipments?” “What does that have to do with getting to the moon?” Ariel rolled her eyes, “Where do you think Atlantis gets its food?” “They make it?”

“Yes, but where do you think all the supplies come from?” James wanted to say the moon, but based on the tone he was getting from Ariel, who seemed rather aggravated, he instead answered, “I haven’t got the slightest.” “Here! It all comes from here. Each sector harvests different materials for Atlantis. This sector, Sector 11, harvests wheat,” she snapped. “What about all of the other food we eat?” Carol asked.

Ariel glared at her, “I don’t have time to give you a history lesson. I need to know what your boyfriend knows about the wheat shipments.” She scrubbed her hands over her face and stared intently at J. “Okay, they load up our wheat with large trucks straight from our harvesters, then they head east.” Ariel walked up to James, stopping mere inches away. Her eyes softened a bit. “What else?” “That’s all I know. It just leaves from there on trucks and heads east.” Ariel pulled out a piece of paper from her blouse.

Carol gasped, appalled.

Some still do, to this day. The man on the moon is looking down and laughing.” —Vera Nazarian. OceanofPDF.com Chapter One In a clear blue sky, the moon watched over a baseball game in small town America. James gripped the bat between his hands, twisting and squeezing his fingers. His weight shifted from one foot to the other; his hips wiggled back and forth. The pitcher eyed the signs behind home plate and shook off the first two before nodding at the third, then slid his fingers along the seams of the ball in his leather mitt.

Beads of sweat rolled down James’ face from his soaked baseball cap as he readied himself for the pitch. He rocked back and forth at a slow, even pace, jaw clenched, waiting for the ball to be delivered. The pitcher began his wind up, his left foot kicking up into the air as his body twisted to the right. James squinted, searching for the first sign of the ball. The pitcher’s hand came down sharply over the top, releasing the ball with an intense spin. James’ eyes picked it up immediately and watched it rocket toward him.

Down the center the ball came.
