Ultimus Chapter 6: Time Displacement

Andrew stood there staring at the clock. He couldn’t begin to imagine that he was asleep for over 700 years. And since the clock died, he didn’t know how far in the future he was. He was lost in time, and would never see anyone from before. He didn’t even get to say goodbye to Rue. He didn’t know what to think, all of this seemed absolutely impossible.

He shuffled outside and saw his dog. Still staring at the dinosaur. What was it anyway, a Tricycloplots? He still wasn’t sure. He went over and sat next to his dog. And began to stroked him. He still needed to find a name for him. He looked at him and smiled.

“What should I name you?” Andrew said out loud, the dog lifted his head and stared at Andrew. He thought for a moment, trying to figure out what was the perfect name. But all he could think about was his last conversation with Rue. Her trying to name him. He looked up and sighed and then looked back down at his dog.

“How about Samuel?” Andrew asked his dog, the dog looked back at the dinosaur. Andrew took that as a no and continued down the list.

Time passed on and he was beginning to exhaust his supply of names he had for the dog, none of which did the dog seem interested in nor did Andrew.

“Let’s see, Hunter?” Andrew said, the dog still stared at the grazing beast.

“Rex? Rover? Spot?” Andrew sped through, all of which the dog seemed to dislike. He had went through all the names he had thought of since he first got the dog. Except the other name that Rue said.

“Rue?” Andrew said, the dog didn’t look. Andrew was disappointed. He went through all the names he had and couldn’t find one that was good enough. But a name popped into his head and he

“Reuben?” Andrew said, the dog raised its head and looked at Andrew.

“Reuben?” Andrew said again, the dog’s tail started thumping against the floor. Andrew smiled at the sight.

“Reuben it is.” He said smiling. Andrew got up and went into the shed. Everything was off, he walked around and saw the doors were missing on the Tek cabinet and saw all the old weapons and ammunition sitting there. Andrew reached in and grabbed a couple guns from the rack and their ammunition. He wasn’t sure what to expect from this place if there’s dinosaurs roaming around. Who knows what else might be out there? He also saw a couple manuals for the guns he was taking and thought that it was probably a good idea to get those too.

Andrew carried them inside the house, he decided to that if he was going to survive. He was going to use this place and not try to go looking for somewhere else. But he would need to clean it up before anything. He wanted to try to figure out what to do next, but he couldn’t live in a place that was trying to kill him everytime he sat down.
