THE BOOK OF RAZIEL

What was that for?” Vero asked, massaging his jaw.

“Because you made me jump into that hole!”

“I just saved your life!” Vero shot back.

“That’s not the point!” yelled Ada.

Vero and Pax swapped looks, and then Pax shrugged his shoulders. Apparently Pax couldn’t explain Ada’s behavior either.

“Just look at us! Look what we’re covered in!” Ada wailed.

A grin spread across Pax’s face, and he began to laugh — shakily at first, but then his chuckles dissolved into all-out hysterical laughter until he was doubled over. Ada and Vero exchanged glances. Then Ada started laughing too. And finally Vero joined them.

“I don’t know what’s so funny,” Greer said. “You guys stink! I can smell you all the way up here.”

Vero looked up from the trench and saw Greer and X standing over them. They were perfectly clean — no mud or dino muck anywhere on them.

“If any of you swine would like our company,” Greer said, holding her nose, “you’d better go wash yourselves in the river. Otherwise, it’s been nice knowing you.”

Vero, Pax, and Ada climbed out of the ditch and walked with X and Greer toward the river. The behemoths were no longer in sight.

“You guys didn’t land in the swamp?” Vero asked.

“No, we glided to a smooth landing under a shade tree,” X said.

“Maybe if you hadn’t hesitated before jumping, you wouldn’t have wound up in the swamp,” Greer gloated.

Greer was right, and Vero knew it immediately. He hadn’t listened to the inner voice when it told him to jump into the hole. As he washed himself off, Vero resolved to trust his instincts moving forward because he didn’t want to pull dinosaur poop out of his ears ever again.
