Well, the priest left no doubt about the veracity of Habar's story. I liked the way the solution was, in part, the General's plan. Destroy the portal! What a surprise for the General when Habar tapped him on the shoulder. And the church got their silver back, I guess. Nicely done, Mark. Teaching those from other planets how to ride a horse on Earth--cool!

Thanks, K.C. Riding Earth horses is always popular. 😉

Holy Cow! What an ending! And a beautiful first sentence, too. Now... was that ending a surprise to YOU, too? Or had you planned it all along?

Thanks. I only had the idea of the Stonehenge portal when I started writing the story. I was not sure how it was going to end until shortly before I wrote the ending.
