Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930
·
Various
112
There
was
a
heavy
thud
and
the
dome
had
returned
to
its
normal
position,
with
Frank
and
Tommy
prisoners
within
its
spacious
hollow.
The
warm
light
bathed
them
with
fearful
intensity
for
a
moment,
then
faded
to
a
rosy
glow
that
dulled
their
senses
and
quieted
their
nerves.
Morpheus
claimed
them.
When
Frank
awoke
he
found
himself
between
silken
covers,
and
for
a
moment
he
gazed
thoughtfully
at
a
high
arched
ceiling
that
was
entirely
unfamiliar.
Then,
remembering,
he
sprang
from
the
downy
bed
to
his
feet.
The
room,
the
furnishings,
his
silken
robe,
everything
was
strange.
His
bed,
he
saw,
was
a
high
one,
and
the
frame
was
of
the
same
gleaming
silver
as
the
dome
under
which
they
had
been
trapped.
The
arched
ceiling
glowed
softly
with
the
same
rosy
hue
as
had
the
inner
surface
of
the
dome.
A
large
pool
of
water
invited
him,
the
surface
of
the
pool
being
no
more
than
a
foot
below
the
point
where
it
was
built
into
the
tile
floor
of
the
room.
A
large
open
doorway
connected
with
a
similar
adjoining
room,
where
he
suspected
Tommy
had
been
taken.
On
his
bare
toes,
he
moved
silently
to
the
other
room
and
saw
that
his
guess
had
been
correct.
Tommy
lay
sleeping
quietly
beneath
covers
as
soft
as
his
own
and
amidst
equal
luxury
of
surroundings.
"Well,"
he
whispered,
"this
doesn't
look
as
though
we
would
come
to
any
harm.
And
I
might
as
well
take
a
dive
in
that
pool."
