 He looked at the stranger that sat in the passenger seat of his semi-truck. The stranger just sat staring out the window as the trees passed by at 60 miles per hour. "What's your name fella?" the trucker asked. "Tyler," the stranger said with his eyes still glued to the passing scenery. "I'm Geoff," he said. "You're a little young to be hitch-hiking round here. How old are you?" "15." "I've picked up my fair share of hitch-hikers during my time," Geoff said through his grey beard. "Never had one be 15. You know what the common factor between them all was?" He paused for a response; there was none. "Everyone had a story. I bet you're

My  body was weary and my eyes were bleary. I sat down next to him. My brother was already asleep. His body, to the right, was cocked; His arms were interlocked. With glasses still on his face, he breathed so softly. I closed my eyes. I leaned towards his side. And though my head on his shoulder, he didn't stir. His body felt tepid lifting and lowering my head with every inhale and exhale he took. Soft was his shoulder. his breathing was slower. The drum of his heart calmed my restless soul. My mind began to wander and our bond couldn't be stronger as I fell asleep with my brother at my side.

I passed poor a few miles back. The woods are my company. My dialogue is with the crackling fire. I have my house, which I built with my hands, and my well-worn coat. The snow had blanketed my forest. It was freezing, far below it, but I needed wood, or I would freeze too. It was getting late, the show in the sky would be starting soon. What better time to go then. I pulled my coat taut to brace against the blowing chill and falling flakes. I open

 Brother said, "The small ship, about the size of a classroom, from space flew over the English countryside. Seeing a river, it landed. Out came a gray man with an awkwardly shaped head. He walked to the river and, instead of using the bridge, went into the flowing water. He bent down and pulled out a fish. It writhed in agony as the alien went back to his ship and took off again. It moved again, towards a pasture. In it, there was a lone sheep, grazing in the middle of the night. The sheep was pulled toward the sky and into the great mouth of the ship. The sheep's weight was too much for the ship. It fell, but was undamaged. The alien

Look up. There. Do you see? To the right, too far. Yes. I knew her, my companion. There she is, the Bear, The great Bear. Hera made her a bear after I cast her away. I was angry. She broke a promise. Her son tried to kill her, He tried to kill the bear. But she was saved, imposed upon the sky by my Father. And there, due north. Her son. She shall circle him forever. It is getting early. Let us go, for I can see the chariot on the horizon.

Pull back. Look straight. Breathe deep, Lock on. I can feel the tension mounting in my bow. in my soul. Of my arrow, of my bow, the silver is cold against my skin. Let go. Look straight. Breathe out. Lock on. Fly straight Fly true I guide you to your mark. It Strikes. It Kills. Move close. Look Straight. It doesn't breathe. I take my prize and my arrow. I wipe off the blood. No one is better than I.

He commanded his men forward. They ran to their doom. bullets and blood flew everywhere. booms echoed through the field as cannonballs exploded. limbs flew from bodies blown apart. despite the arms and legs of Their brothers in arms lying limp and lifeless amongst their ranks, they continued forward, defiantly, dumbly. line by line they fell as they sternly, stupidly, kept going forward. They knew the doom that awaited them. They knew the idiocy of the fools who commanded them. They moved forward nevertheless. He raised his sabre to the sky and yelled. His men were falling, His men were failing. on
