The alien landscape seems to shudder for a moment. You feel a faint rumbling, like tremors along the ground and even in the air itself. No sooner have you gained your bearings than the world seems to shift and distort itself once again. You are all overcome with vertigo once again (save Janice, who seems oddly unaffected by the disorienting effects). The world twists and contorts into a swirling maelstrom of color and bizarre shapes. Then darkness.
You open your eyes and begin to blink. Did you merely doze off for a moment? You quickly come to the realization that you are right back where you started in central Illinois. The dawning sun is not yet visible but you can see hints of its light on the horizon. Still, the sky is overcast, and you now realize that it appears to be snowing.
No, not snow... ash. A very fine layer of ash has coated the truck, the ground, and other camps around you. It is almost imperceptible now, but you can smell it in the air and it makes your breathing just a little hoarse. Whatever just happened to you has now ended.
[sblock=Terrence]You feel a tingling sensation upon your arm. You look with horror to see the ring from the monster still wrapped around your arm as if you had never removed it. Wait. Did you remove it? You certainly remember intending to do so. You had even picked the perfect place to hide it so it would be out of sight. But strangely, you have no recollection of ever actually putting it there. The ring hums ever so faintly for a moment, and then is silent.[/sblock]
