    September 17th 2004

    I wake refreshed and ready to take on the day. I shower, shave, and raid Donald Trump's fridge...making a huge breakfast I continue to view the television screen....those poor chap's up there in the space station...I 'm afraid they're doomed. At first, I felt insulted that the aliens didn't find me worthy enough to bother with..but at least I'm not going to run out of air. I decide after eating, I had better keep a journal...on paper..the power would fail at some point and I wanted to leave behind some sort of record...proof that the Aliens botched the job..and missed some of us. I "borrow" Donald's Rollex..and enter the private elevator and descend down to the garage to begin the second day of my "extended test drive" of the H2-Hummer. I now can report, it handles as well off-road as on. Dodging accidents, stalled cars, I race down interstate 55 toward St. Louis and home...sometimes on the pavement, but many more across the median and shoulder. I reach the Arch in just under 5 hours- with plenty of time to visit the St. Louis Zoo and do the "12 Monkeys" thing..then I race for home..I arrive home...to the familiar scratching and barking at the door..of the family pet-"Ditto" a Skipper key. I go to our bedroom, and there between the sheets...my wife's nightgown, I go to my son's room...there too his clothes stretched ou on his bed...he had probably stayed up late, playing on the computer..then fell asleep in his clothes...then at 6:23 am was "taken". I breakdown, then and there, on the spot...I think they call it "delayed stress syndrome".

    It was a cold, rainy night as Corwin made his way down the dark sidewalk, he pulled the trench coat up tight around his neck, in part, cause of the chill, but too because the bleeding was getting worse with each step, but what could he do.. He didn't know who he was, where he was...nothing...except someone had just tried to kill him, he had a old .45 auto in one pocket, and a note with 197th Street Bar scribed on it..by his own hand in the other, and a bullet hole in his right side. As he neared the address, he tried to straighten himself up-right...he knew he needed a doctor..but he needed answers worse..and who could he trust. As he entered the bar, despite his wishes, he collapsed upon entering...rolled face up once...saw a figure with a scarf around his neck...then all went black.

    September 16th, 2004

    The sun rose again, and I'm still here...no one returned...I go into the service plaza and find day old jelly donuts and make fresh expresso cappachino then set off for the Brookfield Zoo. About five miles down the interstate I bring my 18 wheeler to a halt..off to the left is a big sign that reads HUMMER...I hesitate, then look down at my fuel gauge...and in under 30 minutes I had all my personal belongings loaded in my brand new, fully loaded, Canary Yellow- H2. I leave my CDL and a note behind with my phone #-asking them to please call if anyone finds it missing, then to the zoo I go.

    09:00 am- I start with the indoor critters, until I get to the snakes, spiders, and bugs....SORRY I DON'T THANK SO....then I go outside...when I get to the Lions, Bears, Guerrillas, I decide to leave them for last. I pull up about 20 ft in front of the Lion cages and real out all the cable on the winch and fasten it to the bars...climb back in, roll up the windows, throw the Hummer in 4wheel, low, reverse and pull the bars down....then high reverse dragging the bars down the street...all the way to Trump Towers-Chicago.

    It's evening now as I stand on the balcony of Donald's 90th floor Penthouse, sipping his brandy, smoking his Cubans, wearing his silk bath robe after a refreshing dip in his whirlpool. It had been a long day, and down below I could hear the elephants, lions, and monkeys singing in a harmonious song of Freedom. Then I became sad thinking of all the house pets, horses, livestock that lost their owners and are locked up inside all the houses... too many. I turn on the big screen HD TV....most of the channels were all snow..their tapes all ran out..then ANOTHER SURPRISE!!! The Nasa channel was still up....there frozen on the screen in digital letters........HOUSTON....HOUSTON...COME IN...I.S.S CALLING...COME IN HOUSTON....RESPOND...PLEASE...CANAVERAL...SPACE COMMAND..IS ANYONE THERE....UNKNOWN CONTACT..ALIEN SPACE CRAFT...SWEPT PLANET WITH SOME SORT OF BEAM...THEN DISAPPEARED....IS ANYONE THERE -ALL CHANNELS OPEN..COME IN HOUSTON....THIS IS INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION...COME ON YOU GUYS!!!

    WAB looks around. "Drat, I can't drive...

    Ok, let's try this is the gas pedal. To parallel park, back up till car reaches halfway and back in. Adjust accordingly. Let's see... This is automatic not stick shift. So I don't have to press a random shift pedal thing." He looks down the street. No police that he sees. "Ok, here we go." The car roars down the street at 80 mph.

    Good Luck...don't forget to pick up some fresh fruits and frozen foods while you still can...and remember all the gas will go bad in a year...so do you know how to ride a horse? Might be time to learn for all of us.

    I've finished my free breakfast buffet...push my plate aside and lay my head down on the table....this has all got to be a bad dream..maybe if i take a nap, I'll wake up and the waitress will bring me the check..and it will be business as usual.

     

    12:00

    I wake up...nope it didn't work..now what? I decide to go to the one place in town that's always open and there's always people worshiping 24-7.....Wal-Mart!

    When I get there...all is quiet...now I know the End has come.....and this isn't heaven and it's not the other place..and I know I'm not the Omaga Man...there's got to be someone else still around it's just a matter of finding them...I do my shopping....batteries, kerosene siphon pump, better get lots of fruit before it all goes to waste...gas cans...I decide not to go "all out"...this might just be a localized event....in which case the security camera's have got me "red handed"...with that thought the "light bulb" in my head went off...I run up stairs to the security office and find the video surveillance recorders and rewind them........THERE! i stop the tape and re-view it for what seems like hours in utter shock......06:23...a bright beam sweeps the store...everyone vanished! I head back out to my truck and drive toward Chicago.

     

    8 pm

    I near O'Hare ...it's dark..what was once the best time to travel has become very difficult..the closer to the city I've came..the more traffic blocks my path...my head lights keep finding more stalled cars for me to maneuver around..in the distance there are fires all around the airport where planes have fallen out of the sky...I thank about it..and take comfort knowing no one was on them...and no one was on the ground. Tomorrow, I go to the Zoo....got to free the animals so they won't starve.

    As the explosion rocks the Enterprise, I am thrown over-board with bagel in hand, then begin to swim to the Bonaventure..with the mist came a ghostly wind...a wind which had been absent for some time...I thank St. Elmo.....and shout to the crew..."get those sails up! all hands to station..." as I climb aboard the Bonaventure....I wave back to Morgana...."see ya in the Canaries! (Canary Islands-Spanish waters/ Spain at War with French/ port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife) :sweatdrop:

    OFF: COOL!!! A RAPTURE SCENARIO!!!

     

    ON: September 17, 2004

     

    I sit here bored and eating fruit. It might the last of the fruit in the house, maybe in town. I'm wondering what is happening to the world. Lots of homework. Those teachers are so evil. It's like they want to teach nothing but junk. Might as well do my homework. At least they should give us a break since so many people disappeared.

    Actually WAB, there would be no school-unless your teacher happens to be a member of the site, everyone who isn't a member of the site has vanished....there's only 1300 of us left world-wide. Sorry about your parents...this scenario isn't meant to scare anyone and it's not about religion-unless you consider STARTREK a religion..it's about coming together as a community being we are the the only group that's left, or if you choose your character can remain isolated till he/she realizes that the rest of us are still here with you, or you can be a Road Warrior/ Post Man type traveling around to locate and find all the survivors of this event.

    In speaking further to Daniel I've learn that gasoline with any additives in it such as alcohol tend to breakdown far sooner and is only good for around 90 days but is suppose to burn cleaner.

    WOW ...Thanks......ok so what does he say about Diesel? how about kerosene? isn't gasoline made from straining or filtering kerosene? This makes my story I'm writing really tough..no automobiles after a year, and the power grid down after just 6 months.

    I use Spybot and Spyblaster....but they still don't seem to get out the really tough stains. I got this new Firewall called EZ Firewall....how well does it work? I'm getting really tired of having to answer 100 million times when it pops up and asks stuff like....do you want to allow xxxx.xxx to connect to the internet? I've hear a router works 100%..what is a router!

    try downloading SpyBot.com....it's free and comes well recommended( thinks to those here that recommanded it and aol) sometimes you pick up a lot of cookies and stuff you don't want and you never even know it's there. Then run Search and Distroy, then run cleandisk program(allprograms>accessories>system tools>there you find it and defrag utility...i think that's right)

    Thats a difficult poll...so many choices. I voted Arby's for the Santa Fa Salad..I think it's the best out there, and the roast beef is better for you than a burger.

     

    As for Subs.....Subway>for price and selection/ The Blimpy's Cajan Blackened Chicken is great!

    How about Frezoli's? It's great fast Italian.

    "Well, I don't know what "your" orders are, as for the Bonaventure we've been staying just one step ahead of French since we left their waters." I yell as I start to swing across to the deck of the Enterprise for my Tea..."ahh, fresh butter and bagels too, I see, my! you do live well.." I exclaim as I touch down on the deck, with a gleam in my eye...(for the Bagels)
