Jake &quote;X&quote; (2) One Way Ticket

Aboard the alien submarine Alaric gave the command Vircanto. The sub was now heading out across the lake. They passed squadrons of fish darting in huge silver shoals.Weeds reached up towards the surface. But Jake was not interested in this underwater panorama. He stared out of a front porthole, reflecting grimly on the ill fortune which had caused him to leave his comfortable underground prison with five meals a day. Now he was in an alien submarine heading for some kind of weird alien railway which lead between universes! Between universes! Somehere you could definitely NOT get ! He visualized riding his bike up a strange road which lead to another univ erse. Ridiculous! There was only one universe, this universe. It was big enough! In fact it was massively enormous! Even a small part filled the entire night sky! OK, he had not actually seen the night sky recently because he was worn out escaping...escaping from five meals a day! And now he was starving..
