      Tin Universe Middle Grade Series #4 - Brian C. Williams

      Preface

      Chicken Fried Steak

      There is a rather unusual highway in the United States, located in the great state of Michigan.

      That would be The Mitten State.

      Yep, that’s one of its official nicknames.

      If you’re from Michigan, you can also go with the cooler Wolverine State, or the moist-sounding Great Lakes or Water Wonderland State.

      I’d go with Wolverine State.

      This unusual highway in The Wolverine State circles Mackinac Island, with scenic views of the Straits of Mackinac being one of its highlights.

      It also passes the tourist check offs of Mackinac Island State Park, Fort Mackinac, Arch Rock, and Devil’s Kitchen.

      But the thing this specific highway is known for is the fact that while human feet, horse hooves, pulled vehicles, and flesh powered bikes can travel the road, motorized travel is banned.

      Though no charters or laws say anything about time travelers.

      Especially one who flew in on a prehistoric Pelagornis Sandersi.

      Now, a lot of people use the common vernacular usage of calling it a Pterodactyl.

      The P is silent, by the way.

      I just learned that.

      A Pelagornis Sandersi is sight to be seen.

      I don’t know if that P is silent or not?

      Its 24 feet wingspan and blood-red very thick hide is a spectacle to view though and even more so with its rider clad in orange armor with blue gloves and blue boots.

      The guy who was in the wrong spot at the wrong time when the crash landing occurred was meant to invent a device that would have warned of the approach of The Four Horsemen.

      Oops, too bad.

      The Pelagornis Sandersi didn’t survive the encounter either.

      Sad.

      The rider tossed his helmet to the side after gathering himself and started his trip to Utah, Clear Cut to be precise.

      Prologue

      Ham Hocks

      When you open something new, or reopen, such as the reopening of Clear Cut Community College, you have to plan for things to go wrong because things will go wrong- that’s how things are, and in Clear Cut, the home of young Beyond Human hero Mildred Betbeze, the Will go wrong will be unusual.

      As soon as the oversized scissors held by the Governor of Utah cut the ribbon, three humanoid bee creatures - members of the pre-human species Animalia - started attacking those gathered.

      All the mining over the decades had awakened the Animalia, but the recent years of very dangerous fracking had angered them enough to bring some of them up from their subterranean communities to the surface world.

      But remember I did just mention that Clear Cut has its own superhero.

      And she now has herself a costume and a codename. The costume has little homages to both Pulpy and the recently heroically deceased Freekeh.

      She has taken Freekeh as her codename also to honor his memory.

      She’s a legacy hero now.

      The costume has all the bells and whistles of Freekeh’s original from the big brains at the United States Airforce, but the design came from Mildred herself, the talented Clear Cut High School Art Classes, and the Clear Cut Community College Fashion Design students.

      There’s a statewide elementary school contest going on to help pick a codename for her sidekick.

      And best friend.

      While Mildred was chasing two Animalia Scout Soldiers over the skies of the new Clear Cut Community College campus, Aisha - her sidekick - who objects to a codename with a ferocious passion, was being chased by one of the Scouts up the stairs of the new science building.

      The new 25 floor Bly Science Building.

      Though a journalism building named after that person would have been more…never mind.

      Aisha made it up to the 8th floor in a dash for her life when someone came out of a side door and nailed the Scout after her in
