The Time Tunnel: Chapter 2 – “Where no Aliens Dare!” - Part 8

Switching back to Captain Stillwell’s team where a saber tooth tiger is about to jump on the group…a man comes out of nowhere wearing brown animal hides and a thick hat throws a spear at the tiger piercing it’s side killing it.  The team is very surprised …the man removes his hat and it’s Tony Newman now old and grey with long hair braided on one side with colored beads in it.  “Are you from the Tunnel?” asked Tony.  “Yes we are,” replied Captain Stillwell.  “Follow me, I have shelter nearby” says Tony. 

 

                             

 

Arriving at the cave shelter the team finds an old white haired sick man sitting at a fire.  “Are you Doug Phillips?” asked Captain Stillwell.  The old man slowly raised his head and with sad eyes and in a low voice said, “Yes, I am what’s left of Doug Phillips.”  Tony says, “Doug is very sick and won’t survive much longer.  We’ve got to get him back to the Tunnel.”

 

At that moment a bear came into the cave and the team jumped in surprise.  “Don’t worry, said Tony.  This is Ben our pet grizzly bear.”  The bear makes a loud growl at the team then lays down near the fire next to Doug.
