The stone house has been my home for the past year; now abandoned in the darkness of night. Maybe that’s how I feel. It’s the only home I’ve ever known. Standing alone on the hill, far away from everything else, yet willing to let anyone in. Just like her.
Lights illuminate the town. Distant melodies tickle my ears. Faint sounds of celebration fall short of reaching me. She is down there. Is she waiting for me? No. She knows me all too well. She knows I will never come say goodbye. My cheeks cool and damp as my quest begins.

Blue Skies
The world isn’t what it used to be. After the virus outbreak put us on lockdown for almost two years, War broke out, lasting five long years. The effects of nuclear and biological warfare mixing with the original viral outbreak have caused another worldwide pandemic. So the war is on “pause”, if that’s even such a thing. I don’t understand how the outbreak led to war. Most people don’t. Most people are in shock. They are so filled with fear the stench of it fills my nostrils when I step outside. The skies are forever gray.

Largest UFO Sighting in History
The UFO category might be viewed as the ultimate mystery of the unearthly world, and indeed there is no case shining brighter than the one which took place exactly 20 years ago, on March 13, 1997. This striking and lasting event, witnessed by scores of people through Arizona, comprises a part of one of the most astounding UFO sightings in the history. However, the multiplicity of first-hand reportage and official release does not help unmask the real truth that is covered by the mystery and debatable issues.
