Free Hamelton (Dr. Paul) by Christopher; Dr. Paul Blake Page B

and his hand on his chin as if in deep thought. He turned to face out the window while speaking. "I assume you never reached this place in you previous exposure to the experiments." The others, still dazed, sat up and listened. "This is the most wonderful place in the world. A mixture of earth and the accomplishments of man without the people who are destined to destroy it. A most wonderful place."He shook off his daydreaming and stood straight and said, "Since you have made it this far, you might as well tour the Garden of Eden." He walked out through the room door, down the stairs with his arms swinging at his sides as if we were to follow him, and we did so.
    Leaving the house I noticed John the Friar's robe and sword lying on the ground, but there was no sign of him. William stopped over it and said, "This seemed odd to me at first too. There is no other animal life here besides us. You see it is as if the world stopped at the moment we left. There is no wind. I have stayed here the equivalent of five days in a row and the time of day never changed. There is just you, me, and all the orchards in the world that existed at the time we left. If we went back to the real world right now then came back everything would be as it was the next time we left. But there will be time for that kind of talk later."
    We walked over a short hill onto the small farm that was on the Hamelton property. We looked at all the produce that was there for the taking. William climbed a tree and tossed apples down to us.
    “Is this the real Garden of Eden?” Jeff asked.
    William smiled and he whimsically pulled down some more fruit and tried to juggle. “I am not sure where this place is. I do know it has internal peace. Maybe it is heaven. The name Garden of Eden fits because that was the last time the Bible told us that such a wonderful world could exist before people.”
    He then took us for a tour of the pond we had rode our horses to before and we drank from the crystal stream that filled it. The man was making the point that the Garden of Eden had a plentiful source of food.
    We walked to the mansion and saw food that seemed prepared for the chairs of empty clothes that sat around the table. Picking up a shirt that was once on a person who is now gone, William said, "Anything we need is just waiting for us to use it. And no one will ever miss what we take because they still have it in their existence." We found ourselves admiring William as apparently his followers do. He talked of love, emotions, God, and life itself.
    There is one interesting conversation that I had with William I would like to share because it involves a misunderstood fact of history. When I asked if his home had a dungeon, William explained that castles are designed for the purpose of withstanding attacks from unfriendly forces. A dungeon is simply the strongest part of the castle. Therefore dungeons have minimum living requirements and supplies in case the owner needs to try to hold out waiting for reinforcements. The strongest part of a castle is at its base. Since dungeons are far from the ears of the living quarters, occasionally some were used to temporarily hold prisoners until they could be moved to a proper prison. William said that his grandfather, who had the house built, was a man of God and felt there was no danger of attack, so Hamelton house is not fortified and therefore needs no dungeon.
    Handy, making a bit of a fool of himself, tried to hold Hanna's hand several times and made Adam and Eve jokes to her. She was starting to get annoyed now and repeatedly but politely avoided him. At the time I did not want to get involved with what would surely end up embarrassing my friend.
William led us back to the Hidden Six. Entering the door and stepping over the friar‟s sword, Cindy asked William why such a peaceful man needed an armed guard. William laughed at the way she phrased the question then said, "We will need to reenter the other world soon. What if
