Once the speed neared light the lid to the little black box was lifted. The ship rose and felt like it was going over the Milky Way instead of through it. Stars were flashing by reminding John and Jenny of being back on earth watching falling stars from the sky on a clear night.
Willy had brought his box of Legos. The kids had them over in the corner and were having a ball. They would put something together then look at the screen for a minute.
Ben and Chuck went over to Iceman (Bill Humphreys) and asked, “Sir any idea how fast we are going?”
“No. Patricia do you have any idea how fast we are going?” Iceman asked.
“I’ve done a triangulation on many of the stars we are passing, and it appears we are moving at about 15,000 light years per hour. We should be at our destination in 5.93 hours sir.”
John looked at the faces around the control room. Some had mouths open, some had big eyes. Even the kids had stopped and looked at the screen in respect for something awe-inspiring, “We will be there before midnight our time.” John picked up the mic next to his chair, “Attention, Patricia has estimated our speed of travel to be 15,000 light years per hour. Our time to Gunnex is estimated to be 5.93 hours. This should put us in site of the planet just before eleven PM our time. Thank you!”
Iceman stood up, “I ask permission to move around Sir.”
“You okay?” John asked.
“Little stiff. More just overwhelmed. My entire flying life has been to do something no one else has done. We all joke about flying with our hair on fire. I can’t even compute MPH, it would be beyond my comprehension. If we do nothing else, we have done this. Wow.” Iceman looked around control. The kids were still staring at the monitor, “Lieutenant Eagle.”
“Yes Sir.” Ben said.
“Keep my seat warm. I’m going to wash my face, get a cup of coffee then come back.” Iceman said.
“Yes Sir!” Ben sat in the driver’s seat. He looked at all the green buttons then he looked up at the screen. He could see way off in the top of the screen the center of the Milky Way coming closer. The stars were very close, and it appeared to be one continues light like a circular bulb or a donut of lights, “Patricia is there a map of the Milky Way you can put up on the screen?”
“Yes.”
“Xmon, where is your home?” John asked when the map appeared.
Xmon went over to the screen and pointed straight up from the N on Nucleus to a very bright white star. It was on the far distinct arm of the galaxy, “My home is there.”
“How are we doing?” John asked Xmon.
“Your ship is much faster than mine. We will be home soon.” Xmon said.
Iceman came back and reclaimed his seat with a cup of coffee.
Willy went over to Iceman, “Captain Ice, we have black box ... will we need faster ships ... future?”
Iceman turned around to John, “Sir, Willy asked a really good question. If we have the black box will we need to build faster ships in the future?”
“That’s like asking if we are the best in the world, do we need to work to get better.” John said, “Yes Willy. There may be someone out there that is twice as fast and twice as tough as we are already. If or when we run into each other, we might be on the short end of the stick without knowing it.”
“Okay!” Willy said.
“I have something for you Willy.” Iceman reached into his satchel and brought out a Lego Kit for the Patricia. He handed it to Willy. On the cover of the box, Iceman had written “Willy”. “Willy, tell your friends I have something for them too.” Iceman said.
“Thank you.” Willy said while giving Iceman a hug. He then ran grabbing Skut’s hand and walked with him to Iceman. Skut and Iceman started conversing in Russian. Iceman rummaged around until he said, “Got it!” In Russian. He handed Skut an exact same model only it had Galina on it with Skut’s name at the bottom. Iceman looked up to see Vid standing there, “Mr. President, your son may need some help Sir.”
“It looks like something a father and his son would enjoy working on together for an hour or two. Thank you, Iceman, “This is a wonderful idea.”
“Your welcome sir.” Iceman said with a big smile on his face.
“Willy said you had something for us?” Ben asked.
Iceman handed Ben a Lego Model of the Enterprise. Ben gasped when he saw what was coming at him. He looked Iceman in the eyes and nodded, “This is your dream isn’t it?” Iceman asked, “Make it happen Lieutenant.”
“Yes Sir!” Ben took the box, “Thank you sir.”
The twins got a big space station, “You may need your mom or big sister to help with this.”
Chuck and Beth also got a big space station. Sally got another 775 kit with the name Zeus with the Russian flag after Zeus. Sally took it over and showed Vid then did the same with Demetri. Bobby, Brien, and Lucy all got 775 Kits. With Thor, Jupiter and Pluto on the front cover, “These are being built guys. Some of them will show up on Monday.” Iceman got up and handed John a model of Patricia, “For your desk sir to remember this trip.”
“Thank you very much. Where did you get these?” John asked.
“A dear college friend went into toys. He is working his way up the ladder with Legos.” Iceman said.
“Legos teaches eye hand skills and problem solving. I would love to have our stores in Omak handle Legos.” John said.
“I’ll get you the information Sir.” Iceman returned to his station.
They crossed the center of the galaxy. All seemed quiet. Iceman just had a check on all systems when a star about the size of our sun popped up in front of the ship. They entered and went through somewhere in the left half of it. Everyone stopped breathing while they were in the star. They saw space again on the other side and everyone yelled “Yahhhhh.” They had just started to relax when a big planet about the size of Jupiter was in their way. Iceman took control of the steering and eased the ship around the big planet. For the first time John felt the sensation of movement by the big ship. On the other side they almost hit one of the moons of the planet, “Patricia report.” Iceman ordered. It was almost too much to fly between this great big planet and one of its moons.
“The ship is normal on the inside; the outside skin temperature has reached four hundred thirty-three degrees above normal but is returning to normal. It is now at 420, now at 410, now at 400.”
“Thank you, Patricia. Let me know when we get below 200 and again at normal.” Iceman looked around, “Is everybody okay?” Everyone was relieved.
“2nd Lieutenant Inga.” Iceman had everyone smiling again, “First Lady Tripp, please try to contact Lockheed.”
“Yes Sir, Captain.” Inga pushed the mic button in, Lockheed, this is the Spaceship Patricia calling. Lockheed, this is the Spaceship Patricia calling. Please respond.” Inga kept trying for twenty minutes then heard a mic click on with music in the background.
“Spaceship Patricia? This is Roscur at Lockheed. My boss has been calling in here every hour. Where are you?”
John picked up his mic and clicked on, “Roscur, this is John Taylor on the Spaceship Patricia. We have just passed the center of our Galaxy. We are traveling at about 15,000 Lightyears an hour so we must be about 50,000 lightyears away from home.” John said, “We have about 40,000 lightyears still to travel.”
“Sir, you said you are traveling at 15,000 Light years per hour and you are 50,000 lightyears from home Mr. President?” Roscur asked.
“That is correct Roscur.”
“Mr. President, I will pass this onto Kevin Humphrey’s sir. He’s been calling in every hour to know if you all have checked in. This is amazing. Tell everybody there we are all praying for you. God Bless. Bye, Bye.”
“Ben?” Iceman called and Ben got there on the double.
“Yes, Sir.”
“I have two boxes left. One goes to Vid for his desk and the other goes to Xmon for his children.”
Ben went to Vid and gave him the message and the box. They had just completed their ship and Skut was showing everybody going “Rore, Rore” as he flew the Lego ship around. John and Willy were also finished. The two boys were wired and still going strong. Ben went to Xmon and gave him the box of Legos with the picture of the ship on it for his kids from Iceman.
“We need to get presents for people back home.” Jenny told John.
“Make a list, we will work on it. We are going to a planet that Xmon describes as a giant flea market for the galaxy. That is where we will find the black boxes.
George showed up with four of the Marines. He had bowls of fruit for the kids and ladies and many hot pastrami sandwiches for the men. The Marines had coffee, tea, juices and water in the perfect cups that would fit into the cup holders that seemed to be everywhere. John took a half of one of the pastrami sandwiches.
All was quiet again.
Willy and Skut gave up and were put to bed around 10:00 pm. Lucy soon followed them.
The ship slowed as it came upon Gunnex.
“Cloak on. Xmon, please take the helm.” Iceman directed.
We could see a War Ship off in the distance. Xmon brought Patricia through the protective layer like our Van Allen belt. Things flared for a bit as we descended to the planet. We got down to as close as possible to the ground. We started on the Night side of the planet and as we circled, we moved into daylight. Patricia was handling beautifully as we got close to Xmon’s home. We could see another small ship. About the size of our 335s. We stopped about 300 yards from his home, “Xmon, me and two Marines with pistols. Let’s go.” John directed, “He handed Xmon one of the two phasors he had on him.
The four excited the ship. John transported them to the side of the house. Two aliens excited with Xmon’s wife and children locked in some sort of force field. John looked to Xmon and nodded. John whispered, “Shields up!”
“Where are you going with my family?” Xmon was angry.
One of the Aliens fired at Xmon. The blast made him take a step back, but he was still standing. The other man fired and Xmon stood solid to that blast. The two Marines fired their 9mms at the two aliens. John hit them with the phasor he had. The second man aimed a device and pressed a button. John and the two Marines were frozen where they stood. Willy and Skut both came out of the bedrooms when John and his team exited Patricia. Now they were on the steps to the ground watching the action.
“Ben, come with me.” Jenny directed, “You too Willy.” They got on the ground and Skut was there too, “We need to transport by that building.” Jenny didn’t know who did it, but they were there.
Jenny threw a shield, hitting one of the men just above his knees. The terrifying scream indicated he didn’t enjoy that. Willy and Ben hit the other guy as he was turning on his personal shield on his belt. He went flying into what looked like a tree. He was caught in the tree like a bug on the windshield when you are going 70 MPH down the road. The four rushed over and picked up the weapons and other devices of the Aliens. Skut pointed one of the devices and pushed a button at John and the Marines. Nothing happed so he pushed another button. John and the two Marines were released from the force field. Skut turned and did the same for the women and children. They too became free. The women started screaming at Xmon. Xmon yelled what sounded like “STOP.” He told his wife she and the kids were in danger and they had to leave. Three-time units then they needed to leave. “NOW!” He had spoken in a language no-one, but they understood. The women went into the house and started throwing things out the door.
“These things going?” Jenny asked Xmon.
“Yes!” Xmon said, “Please forgive me for screaming at my wife. I have never done that before.”
“How many times have you had a battleship over your head wanting to kill you?” Jenny asked, “Boys do you know where room 14 is?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s transport these things into Room 14.”
Iceman had come out with two Marines and they checked out the Spacecraft. Out came a little Black Box carried by one of the Marines towards the Patricia. Iceman had his tool box with him, and he pulled the complete AI unit from the machine. The second Marine carried that to Patricia.
“Iceman, we are pushing six minutes.” John said.
“I want this power box. Need one more, minute boss.” Iceman said, “Got it. Marines, it will take two of you.” It was handled. Xmon with the woman and five children were moving towards the Patricia. When the women saw the ship, she stopped. That is beautiful. Your friends have this?”
John and Jenny were walking behind. Willy and Skut were running to the steps and helped Xmon’s children two girls and three boys enter the Patricia. John glanced at his phone, they were running 12 minutes since landing. Iceman was inside already. As the Marine stepped into the ship John yelled, “LET’s GET OUT OF HERE ICEMAN!” The ship started moving as the steps closed sealing the door.
John made his way to the captain’s chair.
“John another little ship just landed.” Iceman said, “Shields up, cloak on. Patricia take us to Funston at best speed.”
“Yes Sir.” Patricia acknowledged.
“What do you think, three-minute head start?” John said.
“Mr. President, three minutes will take us 750 lightyears away.” Iceman shared.
When they got near light speed Iceman took the lid off and once again the stars all became lines on the night sky.
John was watching the time. When it got to thirty minutes into the flight, he took a deep breath.
Jenny was looking at John when she said, “Look at that.”
John looked. There was a young lady with Xmon. The lady could be Miss Universe. What came on board was a 90-year-old Wicked Witch of the North. “Xmon’s married to a Changeling.” John had turned his head towards Jenny and whispered.
“Looks like we are ready to go.” George said. “Okay everybody. Stand in a line. We come back here for lunch. Okay? Stay with your buddies now. If you get lost, then transport to the front gate. Now I have some money. Remember the silver may be worth more than the gold here.” John handed out a silver coin and a gold coin to all the kids. He handed out 3 silver and 3 gold to all the Marines and Sally and Bobby. He handed out 5 coins of silver and gold to Vid, “If you buy with my money then I...
War of the Worlds. The dream January 13, 2019 John woke with a start. The dream had to do with his adopted daughter Sally who was going to be 16 soon. The Devil had her or she was sitting in the Devil’s lap laughing as if she was enjoying the attention. They were sitting in The Chair that had been Lucifer’s before the sun. John was watching from the railing on the west side of the sun. Demetri was there with a Gladiator’s outfit on. Sword in one hand Spear in the other, “John, I won’t let...
Cleaning out another SWAMP: The Galactic Capitol. John and the crew of the Patricia stood and watched as about a third of the thousands of workers for the Galactic Capitol went into the sun. Jenny was hugging him, and his kids were all around touching and just being in the energy of love. Amen Bible was nearby, but he was taking in one of the most spectacular scenes he had ever heard of or ever imagined. Again, John realized this was a different star than our Sun. They also watched as...
More defectors? The enemy of your enemy may be a friend? Well, the meeting with dad went okay. Tony was able to prove to his dad that he was getting the grasp of Economics, Accounting, and Finance. They were all related and yet totally different too. So, book in hand he was sitting in the Captain’s Seat of Virginia. Dad had given him twenty books from his own library for him to read. Tony was totally into his book when “Tony we have another anomaly like last time only about twice as big....
An unusual discovery? February 8th, 2019. 7:37 A.M. Omak, Washington. Thank God it’s Friday? John came into the bank. Farmer Marvin West already had the coffee made. He was reading the local news. Maiden Nation was also at the work table. She had brought in some cookies. Maiden the manager of the cannery was enjoying a drink of coffee and a bite of fresh chocolate chip cookie. John had seen Heaty’s LD parked outside on the way in. They still must be in the ship. Sam and the Admiral was...
The next day, Monday Jan 21, 2019 John and Jenny were sitting in the Patricia. Looking over the battlefield. Tony, Willa, Brad, Gloria, Jesus and Julia were with them. Seth and Amen Bible was also with them taking pictures or having Patricia send them a copy by e-mail. A man named Alex Harmon was from the TV station in Spokane. He too had a cameraman taking lots of pictures and video. What he had would go out in Spokane to all the affiliate networks everywhere. Slowly the North American...
Another Space Battle. The enemy is hungry. One of their food sources is humans from planet earth. The newcomers had been around the moon. John had a bit of fun with the cookies. John could sense something not right. He looked at his phone for the time. “Admiral, head towards Venus at full speed.” “Brien announce to everyone to make sure their seat belts are on secure.” Admiral Mary advised. “Buckle up and make safe, Tito log in a direct path to Venus and advance at full speed,” Brien said...
Tony and Willa were part of the large crowd waving goodbye to John and Jenny and their companions. Brad, Gloria, Jesus, and Julia were with them. “Think we will ever see them again?” Willa asked. “Yes, I get a good feeling we will,” Tony replied. “Major Taylors are you really interested in being part of the global patrol?” Admiral Kennedy asked. Tony, Willa, and friends all saluted, “Yes Sir.” Tony and Willa both said, “I’ve got to get someplace quiet and finish up my Log of the last few...
A woman came in on Friday February 1, 2019. She had a newborn baby strapped on her chest. She asked to see President Taylor about 8:15 in the morning. She introduced herself as Professor Diane Charles. Seeing a crimson sweatshirt with “WSU COUGARS” on the back with the face of a Cougar peeking out from around a baby on it gave it away as to where she was from. She introduced herself as Professor Charles. “What can I do for you Professor?” “I’m on maternity leave as you see, I’ve been a...
At the Flea Market: “John, Jenny and the boys killed 4 lizards that were looking through our stuff on the ship,” Iceman reported. “Do you suspect they came from a bigger ship?” John asked. “No, I don’t think so. Their ships were more planetary. My guess, they have a nest somewhere on the planet.” Iceman said. “What do you think Lord Heaty?” John asked. “Lizards ... I’ve chased them off before.” Lord Heaty said, “They were on the back side of the planet, but they have been gone for some...
News and desert. Seth with the Sheriff with his two deputies had arms full of newspapers. Two others were going from table to table selling the special edition of today’s newspaper about: “Stopping the Kidnappers from Nanux.” As John looked through the paper, he realized Seth had all the names of everybody that was there including the Russians and those from Lockheed. “John, did you realize that a lot of those ships that Lockheed flew today didn’t even have seats for any others than the...
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho Interstate 90 heading for Spokane Washington. January 6, 2019. A little after 7:00 AM. “Another place where they won’t take greenbacks.” Inga was getting desperate, “How much gas is left?” “Just over a half a tank. The other one is empty. Probably 250 miles.” Roger said “Brien, how many days since we left home?” Inga asked her son. “124 days mom!” Brien said. “Where do you keep that?” Chet asked Brien and got him to laugh as Chet pointed to spots on his body while...
During the Month of June 2019, the 1000 seat Performing Arts Center served as the assembly hall for the US House of Representatives. An educated man from Mexico, named Thiago brought his family to Omak. He had been the paymaster for the third division. Now he was the elected Representative for his County. Willy now entertained Thiago and Skut. The three boys were all over Omak. They were seen in Sou’s Family Restaurant having lunch, sitting at the President’s Table. Willy ordered ice cream...
John, why did you bring an assassin to breakfast with you today? John was dreaming the next morning. Apparently, his mind was preparing for the day. When the alarm did go off, Jenny was snuggled up against him. “Hi, beautiful.” “I feel like a beached whale.” Jenny said then giggled, “Sorry for complaining.” “I love you and I think you are beautiful. I have lots to share. You were sleeping so peacefully when we got back last night, I just let you sleep.” John said. “Did our assassin go...
A Little over six months before in our Nation’s Capital in Washington DC. The nation was in arms. People were angry. President Tripp had made many changes, exposing the corruptions of the people running our government. He was indeed cleaning out the swamp. Past presidents and a wife had been put in jail. Two other Presidents had died. Three Supreme Court Judges had also been arrested. A fourth Judge had also given up her seat. With the killing of one of the Supreme Court Justices in 2016,...
A hole in one? Dar and Inga had been off relaxing for 14 days. They got word to John that they needed a week to visit all of Dar’s properties, then they would be ready to take on a project or two. Dar still did not know who this Ben guy was. He was in his eighties and he usually shot 1 to 5 under for a round of 18 holes consistently. Chet knew the Ben guy was one of the best that ever played the game of golf. Brien was averaging gaining a pound a day. He had his father punch some holes in...
Where did that come from? The Patricia landed with 24 passengers where the Galina had once parked. The weather was nice and sunny on the Planet Funston. From the ship they could see the picnic tables and the steps up to the house. After everybody got outside Roger and Chet called for the Marines to form up. They had First Lieutenant Cadet Brien stand at the head of the formation. They called Cadet Brien to step forward. Dar and Inga stepped forward to face the young man, Inga read something...

John was in the new F-665 that Kevin had put together for them. The date was February 15, 2019. The F-665 was fifty feet across. It truly looked like a flying saucer. The ship could hold forty individuals comfortable. It looked very much like what they had been fighting in Antarctica. The twenty-ton machine could go a million miles per hour and had some very serious teeth if it needed. The shields again were much better and could take some very serious hits with no damage. Since the trip to...
The next morning. John and Jenny had put Vid and his family along with his son Mesha and Demetri into the best rooms at the hotel. Mesha’s girlfriend stayed with Sally at the Taylor residence. Vid had agreed to stay three days to be in on the overall planning for bringing the Arab people to God. Vid laid the above map of Northern Africa on the table at Sou’s. They had just finished enjoying Buffalo Steak and Eggs for breakfast. “We have around two thousand men and women in Africa now. All...
Life on the Station We had to float ourselves out to the boarding dock into Yuri Gagarin City. Thank God for Velcro booties and wrist pads. When we got to the hub, we had to negotiate the rotating hub air lock. We would get to do that a lot. In the hub there were six elevator-like doors. They opened into compartments that went from the hub to the wheel. These were to transition from zero G's at the hub to 0.8 G's at the rim of the wheel. There were also access tubes that had ladders. I was...
Prediction and Concern turns to Reality: It was a comfortable sunny fall day near the beginning of September 2018 around 10:00 AM when the entire west coast of the United States dropped two feet. It was estimated that nearly ten million electrical transformers were no longer attached to power poles. Power west of the Cascades in Washington and Oregon and the Sierra Mountain Range in California was almost non-existent. The phone service was spotty at best. The one thing it did trigger was the...
It was to be their last voyage on the Shuttle. The funding was gone. The program was winding down into uncertainty. Major Mike Major was a little depressed at the waste of decades of scientific research being chucked aside in favor of less expensive robotic exploration of space. He kept his opinions private; of course, Military members usually had to check their opinions at the door in a "shit rolls downhill" environment. Major Major was joined by "Scotty" Simpson, the investigative...
The Final Frontier By Mary Beth Sanford Synopsis: (Expanded Version of: To Boldly Go): The most dangerous jobs in space could only be done by men, brave men. Some would say the bravest of men. No one knowing what these men have gone through would deny them that praise. Most would shudder thinking about their sacrifice because for those men to do what they do they must first give up being men. Story notes: Hi... The Final Frontier is a result of some outstanding inputs...
Prove you can do the job then you will get the tools to do it! The Taylor and the Bautista families were sitting at one of the tables. Demetri and his men were sitting with them. Steven Nation and Ben Taylor had eaten with Jesus and then left to visit the chickens and new cows. Jenny looked at John with this “Look”. “I’m sorry honey, I knew Tony was hurt and I reacted poorly.” John looked at Jenny for forgiveness. “Why didn’t you let me know?” Jenny asked. “I knew there was a war going...
THE FINAL FRONTIER Seeing What I Could See #9. Fantasy based on a shred of fact! My relationship with my “Auntie A” was now been going on for nearly 9 years. It started as fairly innocent curiosity on my part as a p*****n about mature, full figured women of which “A” was a prime example. I had carried a fondness for her since c***dhood because she had no c***dren and always treated me as her own and she dressed and acted so much more “free-spirited” than Mom and my other aunt. She...
The Final Frontier Part 1 I sat on the worn, wooden, park bench staring up into the sky. A gentle breeze brought scents from fresh-cut grass and roses from the field and garden nearby. "It's you, isn't it? You're Sam Shepherd." Shaken from my thoughts, I nodded the affirmative at the little boy whose mother stood protectively nearby. "You're flying up there tomorrow?" The boy pointed towards the sun. "Yes. Maybe one day you'll be an astronaut as well?" "Not me. I'm going...
Sam and Mary Kennady walked into the mess hall. There at the big table was John and Jenny with their family. The Admiral and Eddie along with the Captain were sitting with them. Sam noticed two of the Marines standing guard as the other two had breakfast. The time was 7:35 AM and the place was about half full. There was a different feeling from the mourning before. This mourning felt more like Joy and happiness, “Sir, may we join you?” Sam asked. “Yes, go grab some breakfast you two. We just...
Earth Mother - The Ritual My name is Perl, and I belong to a community of Pagan’s. Even at my tender age of nearly sixteen and a half I have come into contact with other communities that do not follow our ways or join in with our rituals. We are a small community that live on the western isles of our mainland. We are true to our Pagan beliefs and celebrate them with vigour. Mabon is the Pagan ritual of thanksgiving for the fruits of the Earth and is a recognition of our need to share them. It...
SupernaturalDo Aliens have Souls? Or are they Godless Beings that travel the Universe? John saw what looked like a large man in a chair, maybe best described as a throne. John wondered who he might be. “John, we need you now. Please wake up.” Jenny cried. John felt like he was falling, then he came to an abrupt stop. He hadn’t felt like this since he fell 10 feet onto concrete, landing on his hands and knees, “Am I ... in ... heaven?” John asked as he opened one eye. “No, we’re still in hell,” Jenny...
Day 3, November 2, 2018. The sun had not come up yet. The town square was full of life and excitement. The plan for today was for Poncho to cook breakfast for his four Omak friends. At 8:00 the entire town would go to God. At 1:00 PM the boys were going to take a break from training and play another baseball game. Lorenzo had a team together to plant the trees into a nursery this afternoon. After the trees, a garden was going to be worked on for the planting of vegetables. This was also...
John and Jenny got to sleep the clock around. Something John did as a young man. He worked two eight hour shifts when he was 19 and during the week only got 4 hours of sleep every night. During the weekend if he got to sleep the clock around at least once then he would be fine. John was remembering all this as he almost woke up. “Are you awake?” Jenny asked. “No.” John yawns. “This Carbon 60 helps oxygenates the blood. I guess if I stay up 24 hours then sleep for twelve or more, I’m going...
On the morning of Monday, November 21, 2018, the senior men of the town came together for a meeting. The circle of buckets was much larger now, over a hundred. Maria and many other women had shown their worth on the targets on the rifle range, were included. At the first meeting, Gloria and Willa had been afterthoughts. Now they sat next to their husbands as members of the circle. Teresa and her two brothers sat within the circle along with dozens of other young people that had performed...
John was working on Bert. He had been born at 9:18 PM on February 19th, 2019. So far, the little one had not shown any signs of life, “Bert, come on son, breath.” Sally and Willa were with him in the next room from where Jenny was. Teresa and Johnny and her team were just down the hall. John was on the edge of panic, “Come on Bert. Your home Bert, come to daddy.” John looked at the time, 9:27 PM. “No heartbeat,” Willa said very disappointedly. “He’s not breathing daddy.” Sally shared. She...
“This obstacle called the Gentic Belt”. Benni explained to Zax, “It encircles the planet, like a very long belt, and can only be safely crossed through the Emerald Cross, on an equipped vessel. Imagined it as the sole punch hole on this large belt”. The girl was very patient and the closeness she maintained to Zax signaled the development of a certain interest. “The buckle is where we’re heading, the Earthly Crater, there- Eh, look! The eruption is finally over”. She pointed at the wall of...
September 1, 1987, Chicago, Illinois “I heard that you have some kind of plan to help Ed,” I said to Connie. “There’s no plan,” she replied. “A witness who saw the shopkeeper alive after Ed left came forward.” That sounded convenient, and I wondered if the witness was real or someone that Anthony had put forward to solve the problem. Certainly, the videotape was real, because I couldn’t imagine how Anthony could have faked that, but the witness? Who knew? “So is he being released? Or is...
People are Hungry! Day One! October 31, 2018. Tony, Willa, Brad, and Gloria made up the team that was going to plug the southern tip of Mexico. The 26 others made up two to four-person teams that were going to be spread out to their North. The four targeted the municipal district of Quintana Roo with the municipal seat named José María Chetumal with a population of around 11,000. There were about 2,000 families. A good portion of the Yucatan Peninsula had vanished into the Gulf of Mexico...
A strong pungent odor burned Zax's respiratory system through his nostrils and rose to his brain, the body organ which contained the soul. Zax woke up from the smell, but when his eyes opened what he saw was foreign. All he could see as he stared above was the ground as the ceiling and a dim light illuminating from somewhere. The last imagery that Zax could remember was the earth he was lying on splitting and a black shadow, like a long and thick whip, moving quickly out of the cracks,...
