38 CHAPTER 37 (1/2)

Matt was totally downcast, he was now sitting on the grass with arms hugging his knee, looking at the cellar but not actually seeing it from the rivulet tears rolling down his cheek.

”Your friends would be alright” Sandra said with sympathy as she places her right hand on Matt's shoulders. She was surprised he hadn't flinch or rebuked her; he just sat there staring at the cellar as though he was the only living thing there.

”My friends are gone, buried alive under the earth” Matt sobbed quietly, it was hard to think that Jeff and Ema were really gone.

”Christ! Did anyone saw that?” Ham suddenly said as he walked towards a tree that was standing not far away from him.

The rest of the group raised their eyes watching him with mixed expression.

”What is it” Sandra asked. She stood up and left Matt, gliding towards Ham.

Matt frowned and adjusted his weight but didn't change his sitting posture. Something inside him told him he had enjoyed Sandra's company and that the moment her hands left his shoulders; he had felt a little empty.

No, Matt muttered and adjusted his weight again. That girl is the reason Jeff and Ema are dead, I cease thinking of her that way. Matt thought but, is Jeff and Ema really gone? In two days' time Sandra had said, I will wait, if they are not back after two days... Matt shook his head, not wanting to give in to his fears. He raised his weight from where he had been sitting, wiped his tears and strode towards the tree where Ham was standing. Pinna was also standing there with legs that were too weak to carry her body at the moment.

”Why is a hologram tree here” Ham asked as he traced his fingers which passed through the visual pine woody tree.

”Not only is that one, this one also a hologram” Sandra said.

She too was trying to touch another pine tree standing beside that of Ham's. But her fingers kept passing through as if she was trying to catch the wind. The trees look too real to be a hologram. Whoever had designed it must really be good.

”Something is not right” Sandra said as she surveyed the tree.

”First the earth shook us to the ground and buried my friends alive. Now the trees are turning to holograms, and the best you can say is things not being right? Off course they are not, is that supposed to make us feel better?” Matt complained looking directly at Sandra.

”Your friends are fine I promise. What I meant by things not being right is this”

Sandra urges the others to come closer. Only two trees were hologram, the rest of the trees were all normal. Nothing seemed odd. Matt had wounded one of the trees with his little knife just to be sure and the white rich sap that came gushing out slowly, was all the proof they had needed.
