The Old couple
There was this elderly couple that retired and found a house in the country surrounded by woods and plains. They decided to escape to the country because they’ve lived full lives and felt nothing could replace the new-found excitement in their lives. Now their friends and neighbors were shocked as to them the couple had left in a rush and did not tell anyone. A few weeks before the sudden move the couple took a road trip to the countryside where they discovered a two-story farm house that no one was living in. They figured no one was living there because they knocked on the door and waited for minutes and as they were about to give up and leave the man fell slightly over as the cane he was using got stuck in a crack between the wooded porch and as he quickly grabbed the door to not fall it cracked open and he was amazed. He and his lady slowly walked into the house and it made sense because they were nervous about the fact that the whoever stayed there would leave their door open. In front of them were stairs and to the left was an opening to the kitchen and to the right was another room and the husband suggested that they split up and search the house because it was apparent that no one was there as it was eerily quiet in the house. The wife had watched too many movies and did not want to split up as she was afraid. They entered the room and discovered bookshelves, chandeliers, and tables. They were amazed at the collection of books and were attracted to the books as nothing else in the room mattered. They had to have been in the house for hours because books were piled onto the floor and they were close to the middle of the bookshelf and it was a book called “the great beyond” and as soon as it was pulled the wall across from them opened up and a circle of stairs headed down towards a dungeon of some kind appeared. They gravitated towards it and headed down. They came across this weird set up of a small table with a saw attached to it also with some instruments similar to cufflinks or handcuffs. They then saw a few jars with some kind of liquid in them and saw that is was something else in the jars. The husband hobbled to the table and grabbed a jar and opened it and poured the liquid out of it as his hand was too big to just simply grab the object out of the jar. And to their astonishment a little person dropped out. They glanced back at each other for a few seconds dazed and confused and he reached down using his cane and picked up the person. The man was small but not so small that he could fit in the palm of his hand. He was the size of a 6-year-old girls teddy bear. The liquid somehow froze the little man or whatever species it was as the couple never seen anything like him. After a few minutes the man/alien came to and tried to get away but didn’t have any energy to jump out of the guys hands. He then asked who they were and told them what he remembered about how he got there and that he described his captures. He also told them about the place he was from and explained how he got there. By the time he finished talking 5 minutes had passed by and he begin to disintegrate. But he explained that his kind could not adapt to the cold temperatures he was exposed too and that their body’s shut down after 5 minutes. So as the couple stood flabbergasted and looking around they noticed a book at the end of the other table that was in the room. In this book it had all kinds of directions and information on the little people and also potions and other things that the aliens could be used for. This was the best thing for the couple as their marriage had meaning again but at the cost of another type of life form. See they took the trip because they were tired of living and looking at each other but since discovering this place they had not once argued or said any condescending things to each other. Not knowing what happened to the person who wrote the book or had the house the woman grabbed the book and put it in her purse and the couple quickly rushed to get out the house and back to their home to study the book and come back at a later time. As they got to the top of the stairs and closed the bookcase they concluded that they would use this as their 2nd house. They got to their truck and was leaving when they began to notice a tear in the sky. They were witnessing a dimension tear where the dimension hold would send the little men through and the tear brought strong winds and rain. So, they ended up watching as to them the man was joyous but also terrified. As he ran into the house they knew he did not notice them and they decided to capture him.

So Close, And Yet, So What?
...Continued from It was a cool autumn morning, Tinka woke feeling the dew on her fur as she woke. She blinked away the sleepiness from her eyes and yawned. As her eyes came into focus and the light streamed through the shrubs, the folded note in front of her was clear. Nestor. At least he didn't put it in an envelope this time. She pushed the note open and read it.

Nightmare of a dream
It was the beginning of fall, the year of 2069. It was an awesome day. It was pumpkin everything time of the year. I love everything pumpkin. The smell and taste of the fall just feels so good. It was time for the Apple Pumpkin festival , so it was time to hang out. The anticipated wait for the festival all year was making my friends and I go crazy. Being able to get things that you can’t normally get the rest of the year feels like you are in heaven. Sheena, Keith, Emily, and Charlene was all waiting for me at the apple dumpling stand. We have been friends for years. We are still in high school. My group of friends and I are more or less the type of people that do their own thing and not all about popularity or being jerks to people. We had been bullied all through school for being different and not your average school stereotype group. Sheen was more the country farmer, cowgirl type. Keith was the type more of a guitar playing sweetheart. Emily is more like a shy and scared girl but extremely nice. Charlene is awesome. She has your back and doesn’t put up with anyone’s bullshit. Well, as for me I’m a little like all of them. I grew up countryfied, love music, I’m shy about somethings when it comes to men, and after being beat on my entire life by my father, I’m tired of everyone’s bullshit. So our little group are oddballs and we are close friends. Meeting at the apple dumpling stand, of course we had to get an apple dumpling. Then we all headed to get our fresh squeezed lemonade and apple cider. So we begin walking around looking at the yard sales, the craft stands, and all the different goodies. There are so many things to look at. One of my favorite things to look at is the vendor that has all these dragon, fairy, wizard, and skull statues. Each one of the statues are absolutely gorgeous. Charlene spots this really cool licenses plate and you can get whatever you want put on it. This same vendor does dog tags, shirts, and basically anything they can print on. Charlene said, “Why don’t we all get a t-shirt with our pictures on it?” We all responded, “Hell yeah.” But I responded, “Only if I get to have a tie dye one.” Everyone said, “Oh yeah that would be awesome. We want tie dye too.” So we took a photo of all of us together. We all made a goofy face for the photo. The vendor said, “ Give me about an hour or two and the shirts should be ready.” We all shook our heads and said, “ No problem.” So we went and continued looking at the other vendors. There was a lady that was selling homemade Native American jewelry. The pieces were beautiful. So about thirty minutes later the sky started to grow dark. The clouds started to change form and turn to a dark purple. All of a sudden little, glowing blue pebbles started falling out of the sky. They were hitting everything and going right through everything. They were going through like meteorites but burning like acid. You know like when you pour acid on something in a chemical lab. The smoke and whatever it was poured on starts dripping the left over pieces. The pebbles were about the size of a nickel. Everyone was trying to take cover. It was hard to take cover with these pebbles going through everything. The only places that it seemed to take a while for the pebbles to go through as anything made with concrete. People that were on the grounds ran into buildings, tents, and culverts. The people that ran into tents were still getting hit with the pebbles. This continued to happen for roughly two hours but seemed like forever. Everyone finally started coming out of hiding, still being extremely cautious. Some people had major burns all over their body's because of the pebbles. The pebbles actually caused some people to die. Being hit in the head chest or near major arteries. The acidic burn took lives of people that were friends and family. By this time the weird pebbles were cooled off. So many of these pebbles fell from the sky that you could no longer see any type of grass or ground. The ground almost looked like a bed of these pebbles. My friends and I found each other. We got separated when we were trying to take cover from these things. No one was hurt too bad. One of those pebbles went right through Sheena's cowgirl hat. The way it went through almost looked like an arrow went through her hat. She did get a small burn on her head from where the pieces of her burnt hat dripped on her head. All of a sudden the ground began to rumble. These little pebbles began to make a cracking noise, like an egg cracking.
