FEW KNEW WHAT IT MIGHT FEEL LIKE to make a time jump. Those intrepid explorers who possibly survived were either unable to return or simply chose not to report their location, preferring not to be found.

On the second boat, #10, Grind, the anthropologist, was caught up in contemplating the mystery of the sea and entertaining her imaginings of what might lie below.
