“Mr. Shai,” Mesmin’s peculiarly small frame is carrying his smiling face toward Jesse. He’s wearing his purple tunic of continual distortion. His hair moves about as if it is alive and completely submerged beneath the sea. At least, that’s how it’s striking Jesse as he watches his friend meander toward him.

They’re on an immense type of thoroughfare bridge built of massive hewn white stone blocks. The stones are blotched with gray and brown in places. But, for the most part the stones are white. The cut rock beneath where the two stand’s surface is all of ten feet by six feet. The large rectangular bricks have been laid six wide.

The roadway extends farther than Jesse’s able to view in either direction. The sidelining curbs on both sides of the massive boulevard are constructed of the same hewn stone, the same length, the same width. Those pieces, the way they rest, show Jessie a six foot depth as well.

“I think I may have killed us Mesmin.” Jesse pauses. His eyes look up and to the left for a moment. Then, like a child might, he asks, “…am I bullet proof?”

“No Mr. Shai, you are not.”

“Then…” Jesse purses his lips and gives one turn to his head, “…yeah, ‘I’m thinking I may have probably killed us all.”

“It is possible Mr. Shai. However we believe you will overcome.”

“Mesmin, that bullet is inches from my heart and traveling at somewhere between one thousand and fifteen hundred feet per second, or,” he shakes his head in a nonconventional way, “…something like that. How am I going to overcome it?”

Mesmin’s about three feet from Jesse now. The being of small stature is looking up at him with those large glowing violet oglers of his. It always takes Jesse a little time to get used to Mesmin’s eyes on account that there is no pupil or iris.

“…by folding time Mr. Shai. …I’m going to teach you how to fold time. You may resume your trek when we all believe you’ve mastered it enough to overcome your present predicament. It’s why you are here.”

Jesse can’t help the dumbfounded look upon his face.

“…fol-l-l-ld what now???”

Mesmin turns his body away from Jesse as if to step away. He disappears with a “fff-pah” sound. Jesse barely has the time it takes to fully comprehend what he’s seen when another “fff-pah” precedes Mesmin’s reappearance.

The small being is still walking away from Jesse. Only now, he’s a few yards forward and a few feet to the right of where he had been before he disappeared. “Ffff-pah;” He’s gone from Jesse’s sight. “Fff-pah.” He’s back in sight and farther away.

It seems to Jesse to be nearly the same instant as when Mesmin disappears that he reappears again several yards forward and several feet to the right.

“Fff-pah!” “Fff-pah!”

This time when Mesmin reappears he’s so far away down the corridor of chiseled granite that Jesse’s barely able to see him.

Mesmin must have turned around because Jesse watches the small form disappear down there and reappear closer to him.
