Chapter 1: the stranger

” Whaa.Whaa” I cried suddenly and jumped just to find out it was just a cheeto wrapper from the recent afternoon.

I plopped on my comfy bed and began to drift of when suddenly

” we will we will rock you!” my iphone blared as it rang at a penetrating volume

” OH $!#@ I cursed as I snapped out of my nice dream that was in fact so nice that when the phone rang I wanted to break it, unluckly I didn’t.

” nerves of Hell!” I mumbled as I pressed my greasy finger against the sleek screen of the phone

” Who the hell is there!” I half shouted because I was enraged someone would call an old man like me at this time of night.

” your mom.” A voice cackled from the other side like a old hag.

” who are …”

” you will know soon enough the voice heckled me from the other side of the phone.

” SHUT UP!!!!” I screamed in frustrating agony.

” Now, Now,…” the voice paused, then began again ” no need to be afraid, or angry at me bobby my friend.

” I’m not your ¡@#$% friend cursed through the phone.

” wait, you don’t remember me¿” the voice asked sarcastically.

” Who and where are you!” I sceamed again ignoring the strangers heckling .

” if you insist,” he chuckled “If you want to find you want to know look in the joyous place where certain death awaits.

” waaaii…” I tried to reply but it was to late

” click.”the sound of the mysterious yet familiar stranger’s phone hanging up escaped from the phone.

”I know not what course others may take but as for me give me liberty or give me death!”                                those words are what hold America in it’s powerful bond for they were spoken by a veteran and other words spoken by many alike, but the veteran who said those words was a middle aged man named Patrick Henry who as he spoke those words was driven with determination the patriot countrymen would look at and say ”there is a loyal countryman”

death, it is an event many,..most of Americas Veterans have witnessed and attempted,most likely succeding in.It is a horrible sight to those who have seen it and those who have seen many of them have ended up being scared to so much extent that they may be put in an asylum or be hospitalized , yet some of our fellow countrymen and women continue to attack them with horrid words and phrases, Why?…why do they do that. we may not want war but maybe it is necessary if thousands of Americans are dying yearly just to protect others, also for some of the veterans they joined the Army to support their families and to get a good education. So it isn’t their fault that they are being sent to protect others who don’t care while they could be protecting others who do care.

 On October 26 ,1969 while on a mission a group of A-4e sky hawks were shot down by shatter of missiles fired by a group of Vietnamese soldiers in the town of Hanoi. during the fall at least one or two died or were severely wounded , the other pilots ended up getting broken legs, arms, and\or other bones. May of them were captured and tortured until the point were one attempted suicide(not succeeding). but even through the pilots were beaten and tortured for info until the brink of death then they were healed so that the next day they could be tortured and beaten again week after month this carried on until 2-3years later until the war ended but even through they were tortured at least every 3-4 days for years only one gave out info ( which luckily was of no importance). these Men were honorable loyal veterans.

       Have you ever had the sense in which you were doing something very bad(maybe just bad) and you have that weird feeling in your head that says “if you do this first of all the sensitive wimpy kid who sits next to you in Algebra is going to tell on you”, or your going to get  grounded or sent Saturday school by your teachers ,parents ,grown up, etc? or second of all your gonna get hit by a train?  Well I think most of you have had that feeling, and its your conscience. Your conscience is always working its just that most people don’t pay attention to it until they are doing something bad or they are doing something that is super nerve racking  and their life depends on it .when people use their conscience they usually start hearing a voice in their head saying ”you know you shouldn’t do this” or ”focus, focus”maybe even both. the most often time students use their conscience is during that 100 point test or maybe just your every day math homework. Anyway once you begin to hear that voice in your head you must listen to it because it could save you your Saturday or maybe even your whole week.

    click-clack-click-clack my brothers roller coaster went down ,around, and upside down thump- dee-dump my heart beat in the same horrific rhythm as the roller coaster continued its horrible speeding debut. Before this horrible part of the day had entered my life i had been having a great time collecting candy at the little Great America  tents,now i was collecting panic and fear at hell’s gate. “Why did i have to come” i thought, i was a 9 year old afraid of roller coasters how stupid . As i was complaining to myself i realized i had one more chance to break for it before my mom could grab me “creeeeeeaaaaaak” Hells rusty gates opened and i was thrust in by the devil himself(herself). I slowly climbed into the slick shiny seat and waited for Deaths chariot to begin its debut. The roller coaster shot forward with such force somewhere between these lines I tweaked my neck which made the ride worse than it really was when the ride finished i realized it was awesome and i would do it again if i hadn’t tweaked my neck.
