The Vision

The box opened.

A jack-in-the-box sprang out.

Its head, a miniature version of a Kinda devil mask, wobbled to and fro grinning at them.

Sanders was roaring with laughter, and the others were laughing too, though largely from relief.

Doctor Todd took the doll from out of the box. ‘Oh, is that all?’ she said delightedly.

The Doctor smiled. ‘Well, at least we’ve established one thing.’

‘What’s that?’

‘The Kinda have a sense of humour.’

Hindle’s frantic voice blared from the speaker. ‘What’s so funny? What’s happening?’

‘Absolutely nothing,’ said the Doctor cheerfully. He paused for a moment. ‘Wait!’

A sound was coming from the open box.

A single pure, high note that changed to strange, eerie wailing music, oddly reminiscent of the sound made by the wind-chimes.

All the electric power in the Dome faltered and died.

The lights went out, leaving the laboratory lit only by the shaft of sunshine that streamed through the window. The door to the cage clicked open.

The spy-camera cut out.

‘I don’t believe it,’ said Doctor Todd softly. ‘This is impossible.’ Her voice trailed away, and she sat staring into the distance.

The Doctor, meanwhile, was staring raptly into the darkness of the empty box.

He saw the jungle, mile upon mile of waving green vegetation.
