his body was found leaning against the wall of the city's boundary that kept the dinosaurs from targeting him due to their collars indicated on them to stay away from there."

  He gave off a soft groan sound softly to stiffen as a memory came to his mind.

  He fully to see himself riding a horse while clad in the uniform of the Navy Corps and a round helmet on top of the head on horseback through a forest jungle. It was underneath the moonlight sky with the Elizabethtown's boundary wall off the right.

  He hearing multiple beeping noises till a loud roaring sound of a dinosaur was heard followed by a Rex not wearing a collar burst out of the bushes off his left putting mouth onto Robert's head. The Rex felt biting the area hard and only tearing off the helmet which the male kept the horse to run faster. The dinosaur spit out the helmet seen and followed running after them. It was followed by succeeding on biting the horse's rump hard causing the horse to tip to the side violently making Robert fly off of it hitting the city's stone wall with his head on the side with a loud crack sound heard and sliding down as if dead.

  The dinosaur without collar proceeded to eat the horse's body including not sparing anything on it leaving a carcass of bones before going away into the bushes ignoring Robert's body leaning against the wall.

  Jinx heard a clapping noise followed by blinking his eyes of a flashlight's glare onto his eyes which he shook his head. He focused onto the doctor again and spoke the memory of Robert's death fully in his in his mind loudly.

  He saw the male shift in a direction and speaking "Did you get that talk?"

  He eyed the direction the doctor was looking to see Captain Leroy was there who spoke while holding up a blinking tubal device in his hand "I have the talk recorded. I'll get it to the others to get a printed transcript to the O'Neil family. His wording confirms what was indicated among the city's sensors' and domesticated dinosaurs.

  That there's a rogue dinosaur not wearing a restraint that caused the attack onto Robert's horse which Robert indicated of being thrown off and died from the injury judging by the coroner determining that excuse me."

  Jinx watched as Captain Leroy walked out of sight behind a white curtain his mind told him what it was.

  He shifted his eyes onto the doctor who gave up a loud groan sound before adding in a loud whispering tone "Just wish I could tell Lizette O'Neil that her Robert is alive and well. He is as test subject Lance Richard himself.

  Robert actually survived the head injury.

  He was actually injected with a serum which is some hallucination medicine.

  His DNA was tested to match that of Lance Richard. The serum thrown onto him was for gaining his memories of his life back in ancient Egytpia's time just to answer questions people wanted to know."

  He stiffened hearing the doctor's words.

  He came to realize with a start that the doctor wasn't lying on what he said. It was due to fully recalling of waking up after hitting the wall and forcing himself to use the wall. That despite dizziness to travel to the city's entrance ignored by the rogue dinosaur as dubbed. He still targeted by other dinosaurs who's collars kept them away from him.

  Inside the entrance finding the doors open he got inside and found the doors shut after him followed by the gate entrances opening. Then men wearing uniforms of the Columbia's Navy Corps coming into view in his sight to grab him in arm lock holds that injected him with a needle dart in his neck knocking him out unconscious.

  Jinx felt himself annoyed hearing the doctor's confession to the talk. He felt himself too tired to ask questions to what was really going on as he shut his eyes passing out unconscious.

  Jinx woke up sensing daylight shining opened his eyes with the memories fully fresh in his mind to see the sun was peeking a little above the horizon. He listened as hard as he could and could only hear silence from the forest. He sensed that the domesticated dinosaurs had gone to sleep at the time of day. He sat up putting up his hair and stuck his hat on his head. He did some limber stretches before swinging himself up by an acrobatic move.

  He walked to the fence's entrance and shut off the electricity from the box then opened the entrance sliding it shut behind him. He went to the box and turned back on the electricity then walked towards the town’s entrance.

  Jinx could see the drawbridge was down with people wandering out emotions over their faces and some of them were standing around chatting with each other by mouths' moving along with making odd hand gestures towards each other. He didn't recognize his Mother's hand language among them. He walked by them hearing their chats become silent seeing him walking by. This making him nervous from their staring due to memories of people from the Master Organization staring at him obsessed.

  He recalled traveling around his home city of New Jack City for various things such as shopping for supplies despite having servants insisting on doing it for him at the apartment he lived in.

  He shook his head of the memory and entered the town through a hallway entering the open doorway leading to the area. He wandered among the buildings reading the signs displayed outside them while noticed by town’s folk that appeared to have various lengths of black hair with tanned brown skin and eye colors of brown and blue some having both whenever they stared at him making him nervous.

  Jinks saw a building with a sign that said “Elizabethtown Library.”

  He wandered inside looking around to spot flat screened computers in one section appearing to be for voice activated orders. He saw bookcases filled with books in another section with a series of tables scattered around with arm chairs around the tables. He sighed and spotted a case holding the newspapers and went to it.

  He took out a newspaper he saw said “King’s Times.”

  Sighing softly he went to a table he found after doing some exploring hidden from view behind a large towering bookcase in a corner. Due to feeling himself fearful and didn't want others to continue to stare at him despite them sensed doing it to him in the library, and sat reading the paper.

  The newspaper he read continued to detail the same old story to him new laws by the King the Egyptians' titled leader of the island continent nation of Columbia and a government group. This including laws that were struck down by either one.

  He continued to read an article said to be the King’s words as if the King himself wrote it like an editorial talking about times being hard due to technology troubles and troubles with the weather hitting Columbia.

  He read the newspaper due to feeling like needing to do it. He sigh once done and went to the newspaper case putting it away.

  He went to the computers examining one he saw needed a library card for access.

  Sighing he wandered out of the library walking among the town exploring its contents visiting buildings that seemed to accept the public till the sun became low in the sky. He walked out of the town through the entrance. He went through the entrance noticed by people standing around watching him again making him still nervous. He went to the cemetery and let himself inside putting on the electricity after getting inside and walked to his Mother's grave to kneel eyes staring at her tombstone. He gently reached out a hand and gave the tombstone a rub of caring as the sun disappeared from the sky going pass the horizon. He lied on his back taking off his hat to stare at the sky as he again heard the dinosaur noises faintly but loud to him.

  Jinx flinched from a glare of a flashlight abruptly shining in his face. He sat up glaring at the intruder he glimpsed was a male wearing some police uniform. He felt himself nervous from the glare as the male stopped shining the flashlight onto him.

  The male spoke “Oh good that I’m not alone in here. I got to the town too late to see the drawbridge up. I had to take shelter in here. I dislike being alone in graveyards. The place gives me the creeps.”

  Jinx rolled his eyes feeling annoyance hitting him.

  He again lied on his back and placed his hat on his chest to stare at the sky. Jinx sensed the male had stopped his chatter as he kept hi
s mouth shut. The policeman he assumed was his job sat down next to him on Victor's grave without a word. He shut his eyes allowing himself to sleep and ignored the man who continued to chatter talk he heard partly about graveyards scaring him since he was a kid.

  Jinx fell asleep dreaming of being chased by dinosaurs while on horseback that made him wake up several times during the night while gasping for breath repeatedly through his mouth as he woke up mouth breathing.

  He groaned mentally "When will I stop having nightmares?"

  Jinx heard nothing from Lance in response shut his eyes and forced himself to sleep.

  Despite the nightmares continued that kept waking him up till he felt himself passing out unconscious from tiredness hitting him. He woke up sensing daylight of the sunlight blaring onto him to hear a faint snoring sound besides him. He sat up to look at the policeman who had tan skin and black long hair which was pulled back in a braid judging by the looks of it from the man’s lying position on his back.

  He saw had a name plate that said “Stone”.

  Jinx exhaled a breath and got up walking away feeling himself too nervous to talk to the male along with exhaustion hitting him. He heard a shout of surprise behind him and kept walking figuring out that the policeman had woken up.

  He went to the fence's entrance and undid the electricity and walked out to the town
