In the early hours before dawn, a small Michigan town vanishes from the face of the earth.

Mainly I remember how green everything seemed after we came through the light. The lab looked very strange, a few ruined buildings in a clearing as round as a crater, all surrounded by green, the bushes with long pointed leaves and the trees that looked like green feathers. A few snowflakes were still in the air around us! Of course, they melted quickly.

The blue light was gone.

For a few days after that we stayed in a partly collapsed dormitory building at the edge of the forest, but Mr. Graham said we couldn’t stay too long because there might still be radiation. We had the food and supplies in the car but no road to drive on, only trails.

Then the new people came and took us to their town.

The town is really as big as a city, Mr. Graham says, if you count the underground part.

The people have been good to us. Their skin is mostly dark, sometimes even a shade of dark green. The green of shadows in a forest. Most of them are not as tall as Mr. Graham. About the size of Miss Stone. Their language is hard to learn, but I already know several words. When I learn a new word I write it the way it sounds in my “language” notebook.

They treat us well and are curious about us. We’re not prisoners. But everything is very strange.

Above ground, the buildings are as green as the trees. The ceilings are arched, like church ceilings.

I saw an airplane yesterday. Its wings were painted purple and white, like butterfly wings.

Mr. Graham and Miss Stone talk a lot about all the things that have happened to us. Last night we went up to what we call the courtyard, an open space with stone benches not far from the market square. You hear music there some nights and it’s never crowded.

The stars were out. The stars are the same, Miss Stone says, even if everything else is different.

She thinks it was Howard Poole who created this world. She says he is a “Demiurge” now.

Mr. Graham said he didn’t think so. “I think this world’s gods are a little more distant. It’s not a haunted place. But I think Howard may have steered us here, at least.”

“A godlike act itself,” Miss Stone said. Her voice was quiet, and she was looking at the stars.

I don’t know if I believe in God. My mother says if you believe in Jesus it doesn’t matter if you go to church or not. She never did. Miss Stone says something lives in everything.

I don’t know what the new people believe. But I am curious to find out, and as soon as I learn more of their language I hope to ask them.
