The year is 2325 and this researcher has come upon a time capsule entombed beneath a long forgotten memorial in Washington D.C. When this researcher opened the time capsule there was a note dated December 31, 1969 that read “Within this time capsule is evidence of a time gone by but within it is our hope for the future and we are hoping that whomever reads this in the future sees that our ideas about a peaceful, accepting and proud America have held true in the time that you open this humble box”.

When he got down there he found a key rack with a single key on it. He grabbed the key and looked at it. It was clearly a boat key. “THIS IS MY CHANCE,” shouted Rainsford. He ran outside and looked around for 30 minutes or so. Then he found it. A nice red speedboat. Rainsford ran onto the boat and cranked the engine. It roared to life with great power Rainsford could hardly control his inner excitement. This excitement reminded him of when he first started hunting big game, back when he killed a lion in Africa. He shook away the memory this is no time for that, Rainsford thought. He sped off in the direction of where he landed only a few days prior. He drove past the landing site with intense hatred and anger. How could a spot of land cause such anger, Rainsford thought. He shook away the thought and a new one replaced it, this was it! He was escaping the island that almost killed him multiple times! Rainsford arrived on land a few hours later to find Whitney standing near the shore talking to a man, but he looked different somehow. Rainsford ran to him shouting,” Whitney! Whitney! I’ve returned” Whitney turned around and Rainsford realized why he looked different. Whitney had aged 30 years! When

Armed with her best parasol, she left the house after briefly saying goodbye to her extremely distraught father. Their carriage made it’s way to the fair and dropped them at the front, but after less than two hours perusing the grounds, another storm rolled in. The rain came fast and hard, drenching the pair within minutes. They huddled under the scant protection their umbrellas offered while waiting for the coach. Once inside, they giggled and began peeling off their more delicate accessories, gently laying them out while assuring each other the wet would not harm their

Ten years ago, Spect had spent his evenings playing with his toddler. Reese was an adorable child who loved to swim, run and draw pictures. As a storm blew in one evening, the family had struggled to

July 4th has always been a big deal for my family and friends, we always get together in Milton New Hampshire for the weekend. Last year was no different, I found myself sitting in the front of the boat with sun kissed skin from the action-packed day of playing in the water. Sitting there now watching the light pink sky over the horizon slowly turn dark, as the storm is starts to roll in. I could feel the light mist coming off the lake as the boat gracefully glides over the water.

Max Speers has been dealing with the unthinkable and this is why he was there for and we have now gone of an unthinkable situation, and Max has died for his country and the people on this plante, all dealing with aliens, but dealing with a predator within humanity, a fifth column which has been successful so far in causing us a great deal of damage and harm; and people like Max, were involved in exposing that fifth column, he knew he was going to die, he knew he was in a trap, he told his mother that. So, what was his purpose?

Who is they? I don’t think is suitable to say that on air.

In times of emergency, life and death, and tragic despair, people often are reminded of the umbrella of stress that hangs over us. With such a world people live in today, at times its common to be caught up in the minor details of life; rather than enjoying the beauty of it all. Almost everyday, we live in a sheltered life, hidden away in our communities, just trying to skate by. But there are sometimes moments that occur in a lifetime, where that sheltered routine, that is so ingrained in our minds, is taken upon differently. August 29, 2005, day one of hurricane Katrina; this date, is one that is permanently ingrained in thousands of citizens of New Orleans. On this day, people have seen family members drown, houses destroyed, as well as

It’s cool and dark outside of the car as we drive, dark clouds hovering over the plains as fat, heavy drops of water fall from the full clouds. The lights of cars and streetlights and cars blur with the flow of water on the side windows, our speed not fast enough to force the drops to flow back along the windows.

In America many people believed that death penalty was the constitutional ban against cruel and unusual punishment and the guarantees of due process of law and of equal protection under the law. Now, we believe that the state should not give itself the right to kill human beings – especially when it kills with happiness and with ceremony, in the name of the law or in the name of its people, and now we could vote if there could be death penalty.
