A Desperate Try: A story of a kidnaped family

“Where are we daddy?” asked a frightened girl who found herself and her father tied with ropes.

The girl and father both had brown hair and light-shaded skin. The girl had long hair. The girl wore a red dress made of cotton that was the shade of a rose and that went down to her ankles. She wore blue dress shoes that were the shade of sapphires that also went to her ankles. The father wore a white t-shirt underneath a plaid shirt and blue jeans. He wore brown hiking shoes.

“I do not know,” replied the father after looking around, “Last I remember is a knock on the head.”

The room in which they were in was shaped like a square, with each side being 9 feet. Near the middle of the room were two tables that had wheels at the end of the legs; on these they were tied. The ceiling had 5 large lights: One in each corner and one in the center. The room was completely white.

After a pause, the girl asked, “Where is brother and mommy?”

“I’m not sure,” replied the father trying to recall, “Before the knock, I think I saw someone take them away.”

After several minutes, a man stepped into the room. He was dressed completely in black. He wore a black helmet which covered his whole head. He wore black jeans that went down to his ankles. He wore black boots that covered each foot entirely and a portion of the jeans. He wore a black shirt that was tucked into his jeans and a leather jacket. He also wore black gloves that covered each hand entirely and a portion of the jacket. “You are in a testing facility,” he said in answer to the girl, “Your mom and brother are in an identical room.”

In the other room, the mother was 5 months in her pregnancy. She was carrying fraternal twins. She and the son were also tied onto two tables. They also had brown hair and light-shaded skin. The mother also had long hair. Like her daughter, she wore a dress made of cotton and dress shoes that went to her ankles. The dress was colored orange, the shade of an orange fruit; the shoes were green, the shade of an emerald. The son dressed in the same way as his father. The son was a few years older than the daughter. The mother was a few years younger than the father. The parents were in their mid 30's, and the children were in the beginning years of school. In their room, there was a woman that was also dressed in black. Like the man, she wore black boots, black gloves, and a leather jacket. She wore a black dress made of silk that went down to her ankles. She wore a black veil that covered her whole face. Her hair was naturally black and covered her ears. She told the son and mother the same info that the man told the father and daughter but in the beginning. The mother and son pretended to sleep. The woman pulled out two brown mice from her pocket and placed them on a corner of each table. Immediately they went to the nearest hand and rubbed their body against it.

In the other room, the man pulled out a remote control device and pressed a button from his pocket then 12 poles that formed a circle began to rise. The poles were about 6 inches in diameter and 6 feet high. The poles were 3 feet away from the room’s center and spaced the same distance from each other. At first the poles were completely white, but then they changed color one at a time. First pole changed to completely red, then the one next to it changed to red orange, the 3rd one to orange, the 4th to yellow orange, the 5th to yellow, the 6th to yellowgreen, the 7th to green, the 8th to blue green, the 9th to blue, the 10th to blue purple, the 11th to purple, and the 12th to red purple. After all the poles changed color, a 13th pole, about 8 inches in diameter and 8 feet high, came up from the center. This one also was completely white at first, but then it changed to black.

“These poles are electrically charged,” said the man, “If either of you tries to get through them, you will get zapped.” After that he left the room and went to the other room.

Then the father started to loosen his ropes. After a half hour, he managed to get his arms free. He then got a Swiss army knife from a pocket of his jeans and began to cut the ropes around his legs. After a quarter of an hour, the ropes were all cut. He then got off the table and walked to his daughter and began to cut her ropes. After another quarter hour, her ropes were all cut. They began to use the two tables as battering rams. After two hours, they managed to knock down all 13 poles. They were zapped a few times, but it did not hurt them.

In the other room, when the man entered, the woman opened a secret door and two cats came out. The two cats ate the two mice and then rubbed their heads against the body of the two humans. The mother and son afterward began to pet the two cats.

After the 13 poles were knocked down, the father and daughter began to walk to the room’s door using the two tables as protection. After opening the door, they carried the two tables through. The hallway in which they entered was completely white like the room they were in. The walls were about a foot apart from each other. There were big lights on the ceiling spaced about several feet apart. They began to look for the kitchen. After a few minutes, they found two people undetected. The two people were a man and girl about their size but a little bigger. They were dressed in the same way as the first man and woman. After knocking them down with the two tables, they slipped the outer clothes of them over their own. They left the two people behind and carried the two tables. After finding the kitchen, they got a few bites then began to load the small food in their pockets and the big food on the two tables. After loading all the food, they took the table cloths off of two nearby tables and covered the food with them. They secured the two table cloths with the remaining ropes then used tape, that they found nearby, for the gaps. They then began to find the other room.

After a few minutes, they found two more people undetected. They were a woman and boy about the same size of the mother and son, but a little bigger. These two were also dressed the same way as the first woman and man. They knocked these to down with small but heavy pieces of food from their pockets. They took the outer clothes off and carried them on their shoulders; they put the boots on the first tables. They left the two people behind and carried the tables.

After they found the other room, they used the two tables to knock down the man and woman. The poles in that room were beginning to go up and the two cats had fled. The father took the man’s remote control device and pressed the button that makes the poles to go down. The mother and son were both fast asleep. The father and daughter then uncovered their heads and the father began to cut the ropes off the son. The father and son then began to cut the ropes off the mother. After all ropes were cut off, the daughter then gave the mother and son some food from her pocket. After they were done, they slipped the clothes, that the father and daughter had brought, over their own. The four of them then used the remaining ropes to tie the 4 tables together. They then went out of the room and began to search for the exit. Near the outside door, they found a button that causes the building to self destruct. They pressed the button and used the tables they tied together to get away. By the time they got home (which was far enough to be safe and close enough to see), the building blew up. They then ate the remaining food, untied the four tables, and put them in different rooms. That night, they changed into their pajamas and burnt the clothes they took from the place. The next day, they changed the locks to their home and bought a security system. The police found the bodies of their kidnapers and decided that their deaths were suicide. Four months later, the twins were born and lived in a pleasant environment. In the following years, the parents gave birth to children about every 3 years up through their 40's. They lived into their 80's and got to see 3 generations of their descendants.

Several Life Cycles: A story of two lovers

At a time, there was a boy named Mark and a girl named Mary. Both of them, at first, did not have any siblings. Both families knew each other well. Mark and Mary were both home-schooled by their parents. Each set of parents knew each other since first grade. Mark was about age 7, and Mary was about age 6. Mark and Mary were both born in September. Mark and Mary loved each other very much. Both of them dreamed of getting married when they turned adult. Both of them were well-behaved children. They both respected their parents very much and were very obedient. Neither of them tried any pranks nor run away. Their parents took care of them and their needs very well. When both of them had free-time, they would talk or play together. They would read books when only one of them had free time. They would read mostly from Christian authors like CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien.

Both families owned a farm which was a few miles from town. It had a lot of apple trees, some cows, some chickens, some pigs, and a few horses. The houses were a few yards apart from each other and a few yards from the farm. Mark and Mary were both taught cooking, horse riding, and other skills. Both families would ride their horses to church on sundays. On a hot day in summer, there was a fire at the farm. The parents died trying to put it out. They fought many fires before, but this one was too big. The animals managed to get to a safe location. Mark and Mary quickly rode two of the horses to town and quickly came back with help. Their parents were dead and a few trees caught fire by the time they came back. The group of people managed to put out the fire and to save the rest of the trees. Neither house caught fire. A funeral was held and their parents were buried right after the fire was put out. Neither set of parents had a will nor was there any relatives alive.

Mark and Mary were adopted by two families from church. The two families moved to the two houses they lived in and continued the education their parents started. The income of Mark’s parents was put into a bank account for Mark, and the income of Mary’s parents was put into a bank account for Mary. The land and both houses were given to the adopting families. The adoption became final by September. Both families had only one child before adopting. Mark became the older brother of a sister named Sarah, and Mary became the older sister of a brother named Samuel. Sarah was about age 4, and Samuel about age 3. Both of them were born in March. These parents knew the previous parents and each other since 9th grade. Several rooms were added to both houses, one being a bedroom for the younger child. The two families also built a new barn for the cows and chickens, and they added a stable for the horses.

Mark and Mary continued in the activities they did before their parents’ death with only a few alterations. At first, they gave a tour of the land and houses. Then, in the months that followed, they helped the families to adjust to the new lifestyle. Once both families were settled, the 4 children would talk and play together in their free-time. Even then, Mark and Mary did have dreams of marrying each other. The other children did not have immediate plans of getting married. Both families still rode on the horses to church.

Mark and Mary became better in cooking and horse riding, and became skilled in art and music. Sarah and Samuel were taught the skills Mark and Mary were taught. The new parents taught Mark and Mary archery.

All of the animals multiplied to several dozen of each kind. The new parents would at intervals go to town and sell a small portion of each and buy a few things with the money. The new parents at one time bought several dozen sheep with a sheep dog and additional land, and at another time they bought wood-working equipment.

3 years after the fire on a night in winter, a pack of wolves came and attacked the sheep. The new parents died trying to protect the sheep. They fought wolves before, but there were too many this time. Mark and Mary killed a number of the wolves with their bows and arrows while Sarah and Samuel went into town to get help. The town people managed to either drive off the remaining wolves or kill them. The wolves only killed a few of the sheep, and only some were wounded. The new parents died from wolf bites. These parents did not either have a will or any alive relatives. The funeral and burring were done the morning after.

Again, the 4 children were adopted by two families from church. The new families also moved to the two houses and continued the education of the previous parents. The income of Sarah’s parents was divided evenly among her and Mark. The income of Samuel’s parents was divided evenly among him and Mary. Again, the houses and land were given to the new families. The adoption became final by March. The families both had fraternal twins before adopting. Mark and Sarah become the older siblings of Abraham and Abigail, who were of age 4 and born in June. Mary and Samuel become the older siblings of Barnabas and Bathsheba, who were of age 3 and born in December. These parents knew the previous parents and each other since the freshman year of college. No rooms were added to either house. The boys in each household shared the older boy’s bedroom, and the girls in each household shared the older girl’s bedroom.

A tour of the land and houses was given to the new parents also. And again, the children helped the new families settle in. When everyone was settled in, the 8 children spent free time together. The two families still rode to church on horses. Both Mark and Mary still dreamed of getting marrying each other then. Mark and Mary were taught some carpentry, Sarah and Samuel were taught archery, and the 4 other children were taught cooking and horse ridding. All of the animals increased to several hundred.

At intervals, the new parents would go on trips to sell a portion of each kind of animal and come back with several things. One time they came back with telephones (one for each room), another time they came back with computers (one for each child), and several times came back with books.

3 years after the wolf attack, the parents died while hiking during one of these trips; the ground was slippery and they fell off a cliff. Nothing was bought on this trip. They did not either have a will or any relatives left. The income each set of parents had was divided evenly among their children (both adopted and biological). Mark was allowed to take care of his siblings, and Mary was allowed to take care of her siblings. Each of the children managed to live off the land. Mark and Mary got an education from the books they read. The other children got their education from Mark and Mary.

When Mary was 21 and Mark was 22, they started to make plans for their wedding. Sarah and Samuel both enrolled for the military. Sarah joined the Army as a nurse, and Samuel joined the Air Force as a pilot. The other 4 children decided several years before to go to the town’s public highschool. Abraham and Abigail were in the 11th grade. Barnabas and Bathsheba were in the 10th grade. Mark and Mary gathered all of their friends and had their wedding in April. Sarah was found by a guy in the Army, and she married him 4 years after Mark and Mary’s wedding in the month of October. Samuel found a gal in the Air Force and married her the November after Sarah’s wedding. After highschool, Abraham, Abigail, Barnabas, and Bathsheba all went to 4 different colleges that were out-of-state. Abraham found a lady from his college and married her 4 years after Samuel’s wedding in the month of May. Abigail was found by a man in her college, and she married him the July after Abraham’s wedding. Barnabas found a gal from his college and married her the August after Abigail’s wedding. Bathsheba was found by a guy from her college, and she married him the December after Barnabas’s wedding.

6 years after all of the weddings in the month of January, Mary, Sarah, Abigail, and Bathsheba all got pregnant with triplets (one week after another). In February, the wives of Samuel, Abraham, and Barnabas all got pregnant with fraternal twins (one week after another). All births were 9 months after conception. Mary gave birth to 3 sons, Sarah to 2 sons and 1 daughter, Abigail to 1 son and 2 daughters, and Bathsheba to 3 daughters.

Year after year for the next 10 years, all of the wives kept on giving birth to a child each year. 25 years after the last births, all of the children were married and had children of their own. The year Mark turned 120, Mark and Mary died. The year after that, Sarah, Samuel, and their spouses died. The year after that, Abraham, Abigail, Barnabas, Bathsheba, and their spouses died. All of them got to see 3 generations of their decedents. Each parent taught their children from the Bible and practiced what they taught. Many of their decedents traveled all over the world, telling their story.

The Drinkables: An open-ended tale of what we drink

At a time, there was a group of people called the drinkables. They lived in containers: some in bottles, some in cartons, some in barrels, some in pouches, some in cups, and some in bodies. They could not choose where they lived, and how they affected others was pretty much based on impulse.

The drinkables had a number of subgroups. Among these were pop, juice, water, and milk. The pop group could get people energetic. The juice group had a sweet refreshing effect on people. The water group also had a refreshing effect on people at times, but they were more fresh than sweet. The milk group felt smooth to others.

The drinkables did not have reproductive systems, yet with help from others they could reproduce. They did not have arms, legs, feet, or hands, yet with help they could move. They could speak to each other, yet others could not distinguish what they were saying. Any one of them by themselves was only a tiny drop, yet their total population was countless. Their entire life as a group or as individuals was moving from one place to another. The drinkables could gain very little knowledge, yet they could teach much more information.

Each subgroup in the drinkables was produced at a type of place. Pop was produced in factories, juice at orchards, water from lakes and rivers, and milk at dairy farms.

One day in some room there were cups where pop, juice, water, and milk were placed. One cup was made of glass. There two pop people were talking, one young and one old, with other pop people listening, and a person about to drink from it.

“Where are we?”, said the young one. “In a glass cup”, replied the old one. “Where are we going?”, asked the young one. “I do not know”, said the old one. Then a mouth opened up and the pop people fell down into it. “Down the drain we go!” shouted a group of them.

All will then seek
News with some rhyme
On that new week
Now some do crime
Or may die weak
May more see time

One thing do right
Meet Him in time
Eat with all might
Make good not crime
End some that fight
Taste some of rhyme
Eat all from right

Take food to weak
Be part of right
Treat those that seek
Beat not or fight
And help all week
Bear all and light
A path for weak

For Heaven's Riches

Search for Heaven and its riches
Toss away the flesh and its earthly load
May Christ be first of all your wishes
Focus on Christ and may your faith be bold
May your deeds come through the fire like gold
Give others what God has freely given
Fulfill God’s Will and His story be told
Follow God first through all of your living
Rely on Spirit and be risen
Always keep Love for others in your heart
Forever praise God through your thanks giving
Practice Love always to keep it an art
For when everything else is said and done
Those who have searched for Heaven will have won

Listen to the Words

Listen to the words that are soft and clear,
From our might Lord and Savior’s call,
When Enemy falls like Jericho’s wall.
Listen to the words that you need to hear,
That forever gives peace, comfort, and cheer;
And causes every evil to fall.
Listen to the words that gives life to all,
and that all the delivered shall hold dear,
When the Mighty Lord and Savior shall come.
Listen to the words that were told of old,
When Christ was nailed for us to that cruel cross,
And He cried those final words “It is done.”
For there is the power to make one bold,
And for our sin to be at a loss.

ON the WAY to HELP Make MUSIC for God the King

On comes the King with His mighty army,
Working in people of all walks of life.
Help shall come to those that call upon God.
Many under sin would be delivered.
All mankind shall exalt His majesty,
Even people who would be ashamed.
Up leap people with bitterness and strife,
Yielding even to the Savior and nod.
Soon He shall come on Earth and be praised,
Living years beyond people with glory.
New armies made by man might be destroyed.
Inside world shall be Heaven made sod.
People newer than old shall come with life,
Caring on life’s most amazing story.

Life Is

Life is a river
That flows on and on
Life is an obstacle
With many difficult paths
Life is a maze
With many choices
Life is a story
That is told through every living thing
Life is eternity
That lasts a long time
Life is a fire
That burns forever
Life is a plan
That is made by God

Life

Life goes by quickly.
The seasons are fast.
As you look into
The mirror, you wonder
“What will I be like?”

As you find parts of
Your information you
Find happiness and
Sadness of your far
And distant future.

As your future is
Happening, you start
To know more and more
Things and know more and
More of your true life.

Life went by quickly.
The seasons were fast.
As you look into
The mirror, you think and
Know “Life has changes.”
