My names Tommy and I live in a neighborhood like most kids. We like to play outside and we also like science stuff and riding bikes. My friends Peter and Robbie are my best friends. We live in a small town and are always trying to find something to do.
We all live within a few blocks of each other so its really cool. We get to play a lot and see each other all the time. The school we all go too is not far either, so we usually meet and ride our bikes there.
Our days our usually full of fun but typical. That was until one day when we were riding through Mr. Moore's farm and we came across a crashed object. We were scared and excited at the same time. We did not know what to do. We thought if we tell the adults they will surely report it, and the authorities will come and take it away. So quite obviously we hid it and we made a pact not to tell anyone.
From that day forward all we did was tinker with this object which was about the size of a roller coaster cart at a theme park. It was so cool. There were little controls and we would try to figure out what each control was used for. Robbie was really great and drew a picture of the object diagraming all the different controls. Peter would try to help out with anything Robbie needed. We all worked together on this little project trying to figure out what we had and what it was for.
Weeks passed by and we found that we could actually use some of the objects controls to modify our bikes. We connected a wire from our object to the rear wheel and sprocket gear of our bikes and it created a centrifugal force which made our bikes must faster and easier to pedal, as if they pedaled themselves. Peter determined we could use this object to generate energy for other things. We also had determined something was trying to contact us through the object.
Communicating was not easy and we simply could not understand so we decided to play a message of the basics of the english language through the object. Soon after a computer voice started communicating to us in English. The voice explained they were friendly and this was an object from outer space and it would be retrieved soon. Upon learning this we all discussed for the next couple hours what we should do. The technology in the object generated what seemed to be limitless energy. We new from being so interested in science this could change our world on earth.
It was decided we would ask the voice if we could analyze the object before they sent their people to retrieve it. The voice said we had 3 weeks to analyze the object and it would be picked up peacefully or with overwhelming force. Peter, Robbie and I quickly alerted authorities and explained to them that we had determined the object seemed to create limitless energy and they had 3 weeks to analyze it.
The object was taken to the lab at NASA and analyzed. The object was picked up peacefully after 3 weeks as we agreed and Peter Robbie and myself were recognized as scientific pioneers in research of this energy. Our picture is at NASA with the object. Many things today use this technology in creating energy here on Earth.
Our days soon became filled with such excitement. We would go to sch

Hitting Golfballs with Baseball Bats
“Ting!” the sound of metal against whatever golf balls are made from (I looked it up the outer layer is called “surlyn.”). But that’s not important, what is important is that sound. That’s the sound I keep hearing in my head. Along with low chatter of male voices. Most often three and occasionally joined with other voices. I grew up in a valley, along with relatives living in nearby houses. My grandparents were beside of me and on their other side was my grandma’s aunt and her family. Then later on after a divorce my uncle moved in between those two. Family was close almost constantly. I had both parents. My grandparents next door were always there, and their middle son lived with them. Then as I said their youngest son moved back in with them and then beside of them when I was pretty young. My sister and I were quite literally raised by a village. There is a whole lot of family I could discuss and all are important and special in their own ways but I want to talk about those golf balls specifically. My dad at some point before I can remember started a game where he and his best friend, my oldest cousin on my mom’s side, along with any other person around who wanted to play, would hit golf balls with baseball bats. The valley we lived in was so large and at the back there is a huge field and then a large hill with forest on it. This whole property was owned by my grandparents. Do you know how far golfballs will travel when you hit them with a baseball bat? They go very far, very very far. At least when someone good at it hits them, mine never even made it as far as the creek.
