I have no idea how long I was out. It had to have been several minutes. Coming to, I saw the reverend still preaching in the center of the mist and holding his large cross as a shield in defense against it. The mist seemed to be gaining in size as it concentrated directly on him.
I noticed the air had cooled as I could now breath normally. I saw Jason stirring and knew he would soon be able to join in the battle. Looking to where George lay, I saw he was still unconscious. I crawled over to him and saw his hands still clutching at his chest. I reached for his wrist and searched for a pulse. There was none to be found.
The entity had claimed another victim.
I was pissed now! George had always been gruff to talk to, but

“You're a coward, a sniveling coward that has to hide behind some big black mist as you try to scare people. Well, I'm not scared of you. That's right, I'm not scared of you! Show me your real shape you son-of-a-bitch. Now!”
Sometimes, I should just keep my mouth shut.
The mist gathered in front of me, ignoring the preacher completely. I was lifted up high and held against the wall by some tremendous pressure. The room filled with its roars and it darkened even more than before. Inches from my face the mist started to form human features. A plastic face of a mannequin appeared inches in front of mine, only to be engulfed in a bright red burst of fire that singed my eyebrows and lashes. From previous newspaper photos, I recognized the face of the father who had shot his family forming next as it spewed out profanities.
“I ain't no son-of-a-bitch”, screeched the mist as it slashed out towards me. I screamed as I felt the skin of my torso being ripped open!
“You are a son-of-a-bitch, leave him alone”, hollered Jason. He leaped at the mist holding me, only to find himself thrown next to me near the

Slowly, if formed into a small child holding a baby. As she looked down to see it, the child started walking in a counterclockwise circle. She tried to keep them in view, turning to follow them in their circular trek. The faster they walked, the faster she seemed to spin. Realizing she’d lost control, she attempted to look away, but found herself unable to do so. Then, a man appeared, a man I knew as her husband. He took the baby from the children and offered it to her.
She spit at them and screamed, “I killed you once and I can do it again!”
A blinding light, like a hundred spotlights joining together to form one beam, pierced down through the ceiling of the room. Through it came, well, I have to describe them as angels. I found myself saying, “George”, and heard Jason saying, “Jesse” next to me as we recognized who they had once been. They flew down to the mother, each grabbed a shoulder, and guided her up through the ceiling. I watched in disbelief as the family below also faded from sight right where they stood.
Immediately, the room was bathed in the sunlight of a mid-morning sun. We all were silent except the preacher. He started praising God, giving thanks and celebrating our victory. The rest of got down on our knees next to George's body, Together, we wept for our loss. Yet, in our hearts, we all shared the knowledge that he had ended up in the right
Mr.Munroe let me pass and I knocked on the door. Reverend Clark soon appeared and invited me into his house. I delivered my message. I then cleansed, fed, and watered myself and Deacon Larkin’s horse. Dawes finally arrived at the house with the same message.
If you have ever been in one of the branches of services then you know that it will not be good news when people in uniform come to your house. Two people in uniform come to Justin’s house which is where most of the setting takes place (top row, middle picture). “Soldiers at the door could only mean one thing…..Kyle.” “What had happened to him? Had he been hurt (pg.9)”?
“Beat me!” he heard her cry. “Throw me down and beat me, you dirty little coward!”
“Some people say I was lucky to survive, other will say I deserved it for the choice I made. I’m here to say I was lucky, it’s never ok to say your life isn’t worth living even at your worst you can always look forward tomorrow will come and if you put your mind to it you’ll see that anything is possible.” – Stephen McGregor Professional Paralympian
I peered around through the rain, desperately searching for some shelter, I was drowning out here. The trouble was, I wasn’t in the best part of town, and in fact it was more than a little dodgy. I know this is my home turf but even I had to be careful. At least I seemed to be the only one out here on such an awful night. The rain was so powerfully loud I couldn’t hear should anyone try and creep up on me. I also couldn’t see very far with the rain so heavy and of course there were no street lights, they’d been broken long ago. The one place I knew I could safely enter was the church, so I dashed.
Sunshine was pouring out from in between the buildings, casting shadows all around Ponyboy and the gang as they walked to Pony’s school. They were taking their time walking down the streets and for the first time they all were really seeing what was all around them. Memories were surfacing in their minds showing them what it all meant to them. With every step they took on the sidewalk they remembered a different memory as if they were walking down memory lane. Ponyboy didn’t think it was possible for him to be walking down this street for the last time as a high school student, but he had gone through the years with great grades that earned him many scholarships.
I comfortably drive my car into the desolate street, Perusing the deserted buildings, Smashes windows and rusted For Sale signs. The car locked up like Fort Knox. I observe the street for trouble. Two young boys look at me from afar as if I'm an alien. Do I stand out that much same greasy hair, expensive clothes, a smart car I suppose I am out of my comfort zone? “Mister, you don’t belong here” his hand gripped his switch. “Pony.... Ponyboy Curtis” I stammer “I live here or at least I did, I'm here to see two-bit’ The Boys turn around “geez his old now” the boy's chirp. The boys stroll away in awe that they saw the great Ponyboy.
“FIRE!” the captain screamed. The battle was at a draw with both the British and Americans firing volley after volley of lead at each other. The air was filled with smoke, the screams of dying men, and rumble of artillery near by. Then, all of a sudden the British pulled back and headed to their camp. The Americans were also heading back to their camp. The battle had started 2 days ago and both sides couldn’t break each other’s hold on the other. Both generals didn’t know what to do, but both vowed to never surrender.
Back in the main level of the factory, Wolf and Fox find Hawk lying on the ground, pale and unresponsive, his bulletproof vest next to him and the edges of a red stain showing around a wad of gauze. A soldier that Fox assumes is N-Unit's medic kneels next to him, along with Snake and Coyote. The three medics are talking frantically among themselves. The rest of N-Unit hovers nervously nearby; the rest of H-Unit is nowhere to be seen. Dust particles dance through the beams of sunlight from the holes where windows used to be, giving the whole scene a strangely dreamy air.
They’re going to throw you outside…’... ‘Leave him alone. Can’t you see that he’s dead?’ ‘No!’ I yelled.
The humming was increasing in intensity when the tip of the first tentative wave of the fog arrived at our camp like I imagined the Angel of Death appeared as it rolled through Egypt. Actually, it looked exactly like what the special effects department dreamed up in the movie The Ten Commandments, a malicious flowing black fog that
The next day Jason had to organize all the equipment before the battle. It was only three days until the battle, and Jason was having second thoughts about
A witness recalls the experience as “terrifying and horrifying” he goes on to praise the unknown man, crediting him with “saving his life, and countless others.”
“You like being insulted and dominated, you dumb bitch!” I yell. “You are the kind of guy that would let me slit his throat without a damn fight...” I smile. “Actually, maybe I SHOULD slit your throat and eat that fucker alive right in front of your eyes so for once in your goddamn life, you'd know what it's like to feel as powerless as I do every damn day since the incident!” I throw the baseball bat against the wall, frightening two or three unkillable spiders out of their fissure.
She ran to the middle of whatever was still standing in her house and started to cry. She got on her knees and thought that everything that was once hers was gone in an instant. She cried and cried, until she found no more use. Then, once her eyes started to clear up, she spotted something.
