Chapter the Eighth

SAM HAD HIS IDEAS about who he and Achava were following at a snail’s pace. He kept quiet, because his Biblical knowledge was limited. His excitement was replaced by his fear of being far removed from his own time into another. So he clasped Achava’s hand again.

He couldn’t fathom actually being led to one of the Bible’s most prominent people. He knew that he had no choice, but to believe in the Book that had eluded him all of his life.

He had the opportunity that no one else had since Noah lived. He pictured Noah being noble and strong. A leader among men, who defied the people of that time and followed God’s instruction to build something, that was quite possibly, the largest vessel of any of its kind.

Other than Professor Salinger, Sam never really met anyone of merit that he could be proud to have met. He felt his stomach tighten with anticipation now. He had to hold back his excitement, because he knew that Achava was trying to be careful with what she was saying and she made a mistake by mentioning riddles.

It was almost like meeting a celebrity, but with something accomplished more than just being in a movie. Noah was known by almost everyone who had ever lived. He was more than a celebrity. He was an icon. Even people that didn’t believe in God knew of Noah. Down through the centuries, small children learned the story of Noah and the ark. There were movies about him in modern times as well.

Sam kept his excitement inside. He saw Achava staring at him, as if she knew what he was thinking. She smiled, as they continued to follow the old man. She wiggled her fingers and pulled her hand free. She said she had to release his hold on her, because her palms became sweaty. He understood.

Sam noticed that other than him being offended, the old man was extremely laid back and comfortable in his own skin. Sam hoped that someday, he could be as comfortable. There was something about the old man, that reminded Sam of Professor Salinger. It might have been the confidence in the way he talked, or the calming effect he had on people, like Achava and himself.

Sam wished he had more time to talk with the old man, but he knew that was impossible. He also realized something about himself. He wanted a mentor again. Achava was amazing, but he wanted a man to learn from; one who was mortal. It would definitely sound bad, if he tried to explain it to her.

He didn’t want to replace her. He wanted to add another to his close circle of friends, someone he could talk to on an intellectual level. Now it didn’t make sense to him, when he thought of it like that. All Sam knew was that being around that old man, made him miss the man who inspired him the most—the professor.

It was getting hot. The old man stopped and took a sip of water from a rabbit skin pouch.
