Tom sat at the table with Beth-Raine.
Suddenly the walls trembled. Dust and
smoke fell from the distant, nearly
invisible, rafters, small rivulets at
first from the deepening shadows in the
seams of the old hall. The faded banners
that hung from iron stancheons shuddered
as if in the first tentative flicks of
an approaching storm, then snapped in a
sudden breeze.
"What's happening?" she whispered,
staring around in sudden fear.
"I don't know." He reached for her hand,
and without a word they stood. At the
far end of the room a fire roared in the
huge fireplace where no fire was before.
A nearby tapestry burst into flame,
blackening and curling the dim colors of
armored knights, ladies with high
headdresses, dense forest and fading
flowers. Thick smoke poured into the
room. Then the building began to fall.
They ran toward the door, down along the
endless table, set for a banquet never
eaten. Chairs fell, blocking their way.
Dust swirled up, filling the air; smoke
thickened. They choked as they ran. Tom
could hear her coughing. The floor
underfoot shuddered, shifted, fell
apart. Then the ceiling collapsed.
