The aliens ran as though their lives were at stake, which was true, following the same route they had taken into town.
The crowd followed them as far as the edge of town. From there they hurled rocks.
Toryl and Sartan continued to run at breakneck speed, praying they would reach the safety of the ship. Once they looked behind them and saw that the crowd of angry men had given up the chase.
Halfway back to their ship they passed a sign, though they didn't bother to stop and read it.
YOU ARE NOW LEAVING
JUBILATION, U.S.A.!!
The doggondest, cheeriest little
town in America! Come back soon!!
THE END
