Thorn's Life: 65 Million Years Later Chapter 24

The Rise of the 2015 Park Part 1: Construction Begins

It had been about two weeks since Muldoon returned to civilization, and Thorn was lonely. None of the other predators would stay very long, and the herbivores tried to keep as much distance as possible, Thorn being a massive Tyrannosaurus.

Some helicopters flew past, and Thorn walked to where they were headed, hoping Muldoon was coming back. When she got there, she didn't see Muldoon, but she saw people everywhere, and ships started to arrive at the dock with heavy equipment.

Thorn walked over to see what was going on, and most of the workers started to freak out. A familiar voice got Thorn's attention, "Men! Calm down, I was here two weeks ago, she's friendly!" "Haha, good one General Smith! I'll believe it when I see it!" "I will! Rexy! Come!"

Thorn heard the familiar command, and walked to General Smith. "See? I told you she's friendly." "Can she do anything else?" "Hmmmmm, what else did Robert say? Oh, I know, Rexy, down." Thorn lied down and General Smith climbed on her back. "Rexy, walk." Thorn stood up and walked around with General Smith on her back. "That's cool as hell, we've gotta turn this into an attraction! When's my turn?" "That would be a good idea, and not now Randy." "Why not?" "We need to get to work." "Says the guy riding a bloody T-Rex!" "I was showing you that she's friendly. Rexy, down."

Thorn lied down, and General Smith jumped off her back. "Alright, you can do whatever it is you want now." Thorn looked at him, clearly confused, and General Smith thought for a minute, and then came up with an idea. "Rexy, go." He pointed to the forest, and Thorn understood. She walked away, and then went to sleep in her old paddock.

A short time later, construction began, plexiglass paddocks were being placed, the visitor centre was being rebuilt, and holes were being dug, holes that would hold posts and pillars capable of holding against a 5.0 earthquake.
