5 dollars for breakfast
The gang were complaining on the long march across the endless grass plain.
“We’re hungry,” they said. “We want some grog.”
Zen ignored them, she was hungry too. In the far distance was a darkness and as he hours passed it grew bigger until finally they came across the ark. It was half buried in the grass.
Zen flopped down on the grass to stare at the huge wooden boat protruding out of the grass, the gang joined her too.
The Japanese tourists who had been following them pulled out their cameras and began taking photos.
A sign on the ark said: breakfast and all the coffee you can drink for 5 dollars.
“Anyone got any money?” asked Zen. Nobody had any at all.
“Well that’s that then, we’ll just have to remain hungry,” said Zen.
A fried chicken fell out of the sky and landed near Zen’s feet and a cry came from a screaming eagle passing by overhead. Zen picked up the chicken and broke off a leg for herself and gave the rest to the gang who devoured it hungrily.
“Now for some grog,” said one of the gang looking at the sky hopefully.
TO A THOUSAND FEET BELOW
The ark was left far behind as Zen and the gang trudged on through the endless plain of grass under an ocean of blue sky. The Japanese tourists had remained behind to photograph the ark and drink coffee.
Zen led the motley group who followed her as if she was their captain and leader and trusted she would lead them out of the vast plain to somewhere...
The sun was warm and Zen felt invigorated and so set a goodly pace but gradually the grass turned to sand and the sun beat down hotter and the gang began to grumble.
That night they slept under the stars on the soft sand, hungry and thirsty but still strong enough to carry on.
The morning woke them up bright and early and they set off again and by midday they found themselves at the end of the land and looking down a sheer drop to the ocean a thousand feet below.
Zen and the gang sat down with their feet dangling over the edge of the cliff and stared at the vast ocean and the ship with white sails anchored just out from a sandy beach.
"Are we to be born from this idea then where nothing is above us and all is below?" said Zen looked at the waves so far below...
"Right you lot," said Zen getting to her feet.
"What's up?" asked one of the gang.
"I'm going to head for the mountains to find a way back. You lot, get down there to that boat and look sharp about it."
And with that Zen walked away from the gang and headed towards the mountains.
