    post-691-1096170551.jpgI get up off the grass and walk back to it. The door is closed and I look in the window, there is no one inside. I open the door. In the drivers seat there is a pile of green cloth. I pick it up and look at it. :( A pickle suit. The driver was dressed as a giant pickle. I don the suit. Fits me perfectly. I think to myself. "Wow, wait til Lida sees me in this!!" :blink: Never thinking it might scare her off. I sit in the seat and turn the key. It starts right up and I continue down the high-way, honking the horn and waving like I'm in a parade in the Wiener-Mobile. :laugh: :(

    I see a stream on the edge of the highway and lead the two horses over to it for a drink. As they drank I searched in my duffel -bag for a few candybars for them to eat. I wasn't giving up my Slim-Jims. They each ate 6 bars then started licking my face. "Come on, let's go" I said to them as we walked back to the road and started walking. The stench from the poop up to my knees made me abandon my pants and shoes right there. And since it was hot, over 90 degrees, I took off my shirt too. So now I'm walking down the high-way, in my boxers being lead by one horse in front of me and one behind me who keeps nipping at my butt. I guess he or she, no it's a he, wants another candybar. :blink: Now my feet start to burn. So I decide it might be a good idea to ride one instead of walking. I turn and try to mount the stallion. He stands still as I climb up onto him wrestling with my duffel-bag. Finally, I 'm up, and we continue down the high-way. We saunter down Route 65 for about a half hour when up ahead in a ditch I see something odd. Not a car but something that looks like a giant wiener. As I approach it becomes clear to me what it is. :( My childhood dream before me in a ditch, the "Oscar Meyer WienerMobile" and it's all mine!!! :laugh: I jab at the horse to hurry up with my bare heels and he breaks into a gallop and we over shoot the WienerMobile. I tell him to turn and he bucks me right off and onto the grass, Duffle-bag landing on top of me. The two horses run off down the highway. :(

    After trying to start the car for about ten minutes I have managed to flood it so I sit and wait a few minutes then try again. She sputters then starts with bang and a huge cloud of smoke from the exhaust pipe. I head out to the gas station. Once there I fill er up then go inside to see what how much pilferring has gone on and hope there are some maps left. "EUREKA!!!" A map of the mid-West. I stand there for a minute before I go back to my car, spread it out on the counter and grab a few snacks, a handful of Slim-Jims and a liter of Mountain Dew. "Ah, ok, North on 65 will take me right into Lafayette, should take me about 2 hours.

     

    Out on the highway now I'm cruising at about 80. My car is trying to tell me something. When suddenly something crashes up through the hood from the engine and I swurve and land up in the ditch. :( Now what? Well, I can't hitch-hike if there's no other cars, so I grab my duffel-bag and start walking up route 65 with it slung over my shoulder. There are no cars in sight. I walk for about 15 minutes when up ahead I spot a car with a covered trailer on the back. I hear banging sounds coming from the trailer as I approach it. There are two horse rumps visible over the backdoor. "Take it easy now" I say to the horses as I unlock the latch and open the gate. I put down the ramp, go in and back them out one at a time. since they had been inside the trailer for days now they had no food yet had left piles of horse poop on the floor which I got stuck in up to my knees as I tried to get into the trailer.

    Lida is now packing. She gets her survival kit ready. A small overnight bag with all her 'products' and brings it out to the Lexus parked outside. Then begins transferring everything from her car to it. "Mmm, lots of room in here." She says. As she jams the remaining bags into the back. She goes back inside to tend to the lizards and get them leashed and into the car. Baby Tongue is compliant but Kes gives her a very bad time. Trying to claw her and run off. But after a few minutes of coersion they are both in the back seat, covered with a blanket and gone back to sleep. "Map, where'd I put the map?" She says to heself. Then runs back inside and grabs the 'Deluxe, Motor Carriers Guide 2002 she had laying open on the coffee table. :wink2:

    September 18

     

    I wake up, this 3rd morning. Knowing I need to shower and get the car packed up for the trip. I shower as usual and go through my regular morning routine. Bump into the wall a few times trying to go in and out the door with my arms full of stuff. The map, where's the map. Of course the first thing I need is the last thing I look for. I don't have a map :lol: The gas station on the corner must have maps. I'll gas up the car with free gas then go in and get one, I think to myself. My cell phone rings. "Hi" I say, knowing it's Lida. "Hi" She says with her usual giggle. Then another "Hi" from me. We go back and forth for a few more "Hi's" Then finally I say. "You ready to go?" She hesitates. "Um, I just woke up. I need to pack up he car now, and shower and get dressed." She answers. "Did you find your map?" She asks me. "UH, yea, I got it." I answer. Not wanted to sound like the Absent Minded Professor. "Let me call you back when I'm ready to leave." She asks. "Alright. I have my cell with me so call when your ready to leave." I ask her. "O.K." she says. Then we hang up. I log onto the site while I wait for her call. In the chatroom everyone is talking about what's going on. It's obvious to me now that the members of STF.Net are the only people I am able to reach. But where did everyone else go? No one knows but there is alot of speculation going on. HeadBorg says it's like a movie he saw once. "Left behind", and I tend to agree with him.

    I go to bed and fall asleep right away. I can't believe after all this time we are going to finally meet, face to face. Meanwhile..................

     

    Lida has returned home and parks the 'borrowed' vehicle. Goes inside and plops into the bed and falls asleep.

     

    In the morning she calls Aaron as soon as she wakes up. "Hi, you ready to leave yet?" She asks me. "No, I have to find a map. I've never driven up there and I have to find the quickest route." I tell her. "OH" She says. "I have a book of maps someone gave me. Maybe I could look it up for you and tell you which way to go?" She says. I tell her. "No, I'd rather have a map in my hand so I won't get lost." She agrees with me. "Lida?" I ask. "Yes" She says. "Have you looked at a map yet?" She hesitates. "No, not yet. I'll do that right now, alright?" She mumbles something about Route 94 South then East on something, I couldn't understand her. "OK, I got it." She says. "But I'll be a while yet. I have to pack the car and get the lizards up and um, you know." She says. "Yea." I answer. "Let me get off now. I'll call you back when I'm ready to go, alright?" She tells me. We hang up.

    Once back home she goes in and calls Aaron.

    "I got some food." She tells me.

    "O.K, enough for the trip?" I ask.

    "UM, Oh yea, I think there's enough." She says in a strange voice.

    "I had to get some greens for the lizards too, they took up a lot of room in the car. I may borrow a car for the trip. What do you think?" She asked me. Lida hangs up after agreeing to go to sleep. I had no idea she would be out looking for a vehicle for the trip in the middle of the night.

     

    Lida walks her neighborhood carrying a flashlight. The street-lights weren't on so the only light was from the full moon and her flashlight. She approaches a Lexus wagon. Tries the door. It's locked. She flashes the light up onto the front porch then walks up the steps to the front door. The door is unlocked, she walks in. Quietly she walks down the foyer to the kitchen. There she finds the table set. Pots of food on the stove but only piles of clothes on the chairs and one in front of the stove. She looks for the trousers and picks them up off the chair and fishes through the pockets for the keys.

    "YES!" She says outloud and she leaves the house and goes to the car, starts it and drives home.

    Lida logs back onto the site and goes to the chatroom again. She types " Did you find out anything yet?" To Fenriz. "No nothing." I type. We type back and forth for nearly and hour. We decide to get off and look around some more. As the day goes on Lida tries to get the television to work, all she gets is snow on the screen on all the channels. On the radio nothing but static. She calls Aaron.

    "I'm scared now.What should we do?" She asks me.

    "I don't know Sweetie. Why don't we just try to go to sleep and maybe in the morning we'll know more." I tell her. "Alright, I'm exhausted anyway. Been walking around the neighborhood and driving around town all day. There is no one around." She says.

     

    The following morning Lida wakes up just before dawn and gets up.

    She calls me."Aaron, you know anything yet?" She says as soon as I answer.

    I had nothing new to tell her. I could hear the fear in her voice.

    "Sweetie?" I said to her. "How about we get together somehow? I mean, I know we've never actually met but if this goes on we may have to eventually.

    "Where should we meet?" She asks.

    "How about somewhere halfway?" I suggest.

    "I'll look at a map." She says.

     

    I wait for a few minutes at the other end of the phone.

    "I can't find a ruler." I hear her yelling from across the room.

    "Found it." Was the next thing I heard. I wait. She comes back on the phone.

    "O.K., halfway, right? she asks me. I agree."Well, as close as I can tell, Lafayette, Indiana would be half way.Have you ever been there before?" She asks me.

    "No I haven't." I answer. "But it looks like I'm going to. When should we leave? Now or in the morning?" I ask her.

    "I think the morning would be best. I'm going to try and stock up on some supplies today." She answers.

    "That's a good idea." I agree.

     

    Lida spends the rest of the day preparing for the trip. She is all out of food and decides to take a ride out to the grocery. She pulls into the parking lot and parks, gets out of her car, and goes into the store. There is no one there but the doors are open. She grabs a cart and starts walking up and down the aisles, throwing whatever she wants into the cart.

    "Mmm, nice greens." She thinks as she peruses the produce department.

    "The lizards will love these." She fills the cart then zips out the door and piles them into the back of her car then goes back into the store.

    "Fruit, got to get fruit.Again she begins to load up the cart. Then back out to the car. Now noticing that there isn't much room left she decides she'd better get some other stuff and now makes her third trip back into the store.

     

    She now zips through meat, then dairy.

    "Cheese, got to get cheese, love cheese, need cheese." She says as she walks the aisles talking to herself now, outloud. The cart now filled for the third time she goes back out to the car.

    "OH MAN." she says as she tries stuffing everything in and rearranging things so it will all fit.

    "I'm going to need a bigger vehicle." She says to herself. She manages to cram herself back into the tiny car and tries to find the stick shift under a pile of spinach and brocoli.she starts the car and drives home. Eyeballing every unoccupied vehicle she sees along the way.

    Hi Aaron, is that you? She answers.

    I usually call her later in the day but for some reason she knew it was me.

    "Is anything weird going on that you know about?" I asked her.

    "I've been at work, I haven't heard anything unusual, why?" She asks."But I wouldn't hear anything in the empty apartment anyway. But it has been unusually quiet around here this morning."

    "I'm at work and this place is deserted. There were people here a little while ago but now everyone's gone." I tell her. "There should be someone here. The security guards at least. Something's wrong. I'm heading home. I'll call you again when I get there." I continue.

    "Ok. I'll look around here on my way back to the apartment. Be careful." She says. "I will. I Love you." I reply. "I Love you too."

     

    I hang up and go get in my car. I stop at the traffic light. I sit there for a few seconds, then I notice there's a car off the road in the ditch across the street. I get out of my car and go over to see if anyone's hurt. The car is wrecked pretty bad but there's no one inside. I look around to see if someone was thrown from the vehicle but I can't find anyone. Driving home I see more cars sitting in ditches, smashed into trees. They all still have their engines running but there's not a soul around. A few cars are tangled together in a wreck in the middle of the road. I have to drive into someone's front yard to get around them.

     

    Lida goes from door to door in her building knocking on doors but no one answers any of them. She walks outside and looks up and down the street. A lot of cars are parked but there are no people walking around. Only a few dogs, cats and a pair of squirrels chasing each other up and down a large tree. She goes back inside and turns on the computer. She logs onto StarTrekFans.Net and goes to the chatroom. The few people in there were discussing the Romulans and who was the Room God right now.

    She types in. "Anyone know anything about anything strange going on right now?" She waits and no one answers her. So she logs off and calls Aaron.

     

    "Hello" He says.

    "Hi, it's me.I went outside and around the building and there isn't anyone around. Is that what's going on there?" She asks.

    "Yea." I answer. "There were cars all over the road and off the road. It's like everyone just disappeared. I haven't seen any people since I walked into the breakroom. You're the only person I've been able to get in touch with." I explain. She tells me about the chatroom on the site. We hang up and I log on to the site.

    "Does anyone know what's going on?" I type.

    "Wesley Crusher sucks." Someone types.

    "What's do you mean what's going on?" Someone else asks. A few know what we're talking about. As the minutes tick by more and more members enter the chatroom.

    Everyone's asking, "What's going on?"

    No one knows.

    September 15, 2004 5:00 AM, Eastern Time.

     

    The alarm wakes me up. I open my eyes. I don't have my contacts in so the world's blurry. 5:00 am. I drag myself out of bed. While I'm brushing my teeth I grumble about having to go in to work today.

    "It's supposed to be my day off. DA*mn 1st shift. Those people can't get anything done." I mumble.

    I get dressed and grab something to eat on my way out the door. It's quiet on the road. This early the streets are almost empty except for a few cars.

     

    I pull into the parking lot at work and go inside. Passing through the security entrance I head for the breakroom like usual to grab a cup of coffee. Many of my coworkers who've also arrived are in there, taking it easy until the shift begins. The clock on the wall says 6:21 am.

    "About 9 minutes until the morning meeting starts." I think to myself.

     

    I go around the corner to where the coffee machine is. As I'm in the alcove waiting for the machine to fill the cup I hear something hit the floor.

    "Someone dropped their breakfast. That's gotta suck" I think.

    I'm sipping my coffee when I round the corner. The breakroom is deserted. I see where someone has spilled coffee on the floor. I step around the mess and go out of the door. Still half asleep I don't give it a 2nd thought that everyone is gone.

     

    It doesn't hit me that something is wrong until I finally walk upstairs to the 3rd floor.

    "Where is everyone?" I ask myself. "I know I'm not that early."

    I look at the clock, it says 6:24 am. I several minutes searching the building for someone, anyone. I walk into an office and try and dial Lida. The phone rings, I pray that she answers.

    This member spent some time in a body cast and a wheel chair then was hit by a car. After finally healing he was flattened by a catapulted cow. Which STF member has been "cowpied?" :lol:

    You people are all amateurs. Nuts to pocket protectors. I carry all my pens, pencils, erasers, X-acto knives, india ink, tape, pastels, and all kinds of other goodies in a nifty box. Down with pocket protectors! Carry a box! Besides, if you want to carry a decent selection you'll never fit them all into a pocket. :)
