What other way could it have gone though? Joe had intimated as much to Flashshadow on the drive over. As long as this was still his land, not Yon’s, the latter wouldn’t be the only one who commanded multitudes. That first afternoon with Sonica, several of Joe’s had looked in. Now he needs must summon another.

Year after year, there are reports highlighting potential doomsday scenarios for honeybees. A recent report from 2023 revealed that nearly half of all honeybee colonies in the United States had died the previous year. This is a significant concern as honeybees play a vital role in food production in the country. Consequently, they have become the face of a larger movement to save the bees. However, it is important to note that honeybees do not require saving. While efforts to protect them are commendable, our hyper-focus on this species neglects the thousands of other bee species that are at risk of extinction.

The rabble herded and jostled Joe’s company to the edge of the outdoor pool. Yon held court from a lifeguard’s chair at the far end, overlooking all, while the rest of that writhing jabbering crew clustered close at our heroes’ backs. On either side the twisty shapes of waterslides and other apparatus rose into heavens of lead, which by now were alive with thunderous rumblings and lightning-bursts spanning the spectrum.

The Black Hole
Black holes were unknown until the 20th century. They are regions in space with strong gravity that even light can't escape from. From the outside, we can't see what's inside a black hole. They are dark centers of gravity that consume everything in their path. The history of black holes is relatively short. 100 years ago, no one knew about them. Einstein's Theory of Relativity led to their discovery. The theory has two parts: the Special Theory of Relativity and the General Theory of Relativity. The Special Theory of Relativity, published by Einstein in 1905, explains how speed affects time. If you're in a fast spaceship, time will slow down relative to people on Earth. The word "relative" is important because you won't feel time slowing down in the spaceship. But when you return to Earth, you'll notice a difference in the flow of time. This is called Kinematic Time Dilation.

Joe’s subconscious self might have said they were circling the wagons. That one and Mini-Flash Splitsville were already at the rendezvous-point, having driven down together the minute they received word. Mini-Flash Robin and Mini-Flash Juniper had gone directly in the school minibus, he necessarily sleeping out the journey. Our hero himself had opted for a needful Boston detour, for now that he remembered his crimson-coloured space-racer, he missed it. Now he was skimming sandy hills on the last stretch of a familiar childhood holiday route, bound for what promised to be anything but, his landing-party lieutenant beside him in the passenger-seat.

The kitchen’s ancient and huge cuckoo clock ticked loudly above the dark wooden stove’s mantle; deep in thought, Lord Der Ärzte tapped at his lip in rhythm with the monstrous timepiece. The parcel in his hand had been carefully re-wrapped so its contents could not contaminate the kitchen.
