Flint

Her eyes are wild with excitement, and I knew this woman was captivated by the idea of time travel, but this egg is next-level. She can’t contain herself.

“It’s a dinosaur egg, Flint. Like, an actual one. And it’s been amberized, which means–”

“I know what it means, Fancy. It means if you figure out a way to melt off that amber, you’re gonna get yourself a baby dino.”

“Right,” she says, breathless, and I pull the fish off the spear and begin to fillet it on the wooden table I built near the fire. “Which means I wouldn’t just be studying dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago, I would be actually encountering them.”

I lift my eyebrows, shaking my head. “I thought you were special, didn’t realize you were crazy.”

She runs her hand over the egg, cradling it like it’s a damn baby. “I’m not crazy, I’m ecstatic.”

“You realize a dinosaur being on this beach is pretty much end of story for us?”

“But then we would have lived to see a dinosaur. I mean, think of it. I wonder what kind this is.”

“Well, we aren’t going to find out,” I say, wrapping the fish in banana leaves and placing them in the fire’s ash. “First of all, the fire won’t melt that amber. You’d need a furnace to do that level of damage. And secondly, I’m not going to spend my last breath looking up at the raging mouth of a T. rex.”

“You won’t even consider it? I mean, the odds of this being a T. rex are incredibly slim. This region wasn’t known for that species–”

I cut her off. “Listen, it’s not happening. I don’t want to die even if it seems kind of cool to see a dinosaur.”

She presses her lips together, thinking. Holding that egg in her hand like it’s the most precious thing. I think it’s more like a grenade.

“Why do you have this egg then,” she asks, “if you weren’t hoping to hatch it?”

I slice off the top of a coconut, handing it to her. “Look, when I fell through that cave, I landed on my ass, thought I was going to faint. Freaked the fuck out, right? Well, I stopped to drink some water and what did I find? That egg. It looked like it was glowing, waiting for me. I figured it was a talisman or something because I’ve never been attacked since living here, and what are the odds of that? It’s like my good luck charm. So before I go hunt in the jungle, or need to deal with a hungry predator getting too close for comfort, I rub this egg for good luck. Works like a charm every time. This egg and me, we’ve gotten through shit together.”

She smiles. “See, it was fate. This is all fate. We were brought here for a reason, Flint. For this dinosaur.”

“If we’re talking fate – let’s talk you and me. That feels like destiny. I need you, Fancy, in a way I’ve never needed anyone. And I’ve known you less than a damn day.
