World English Bible Permissions (WEB)

This is why I had to delete most of my writing on Booksie and had to make remakes of my books that are for sale.

First of all, I received an email scam in my junk mail (never read those unless you have to) that said I was hacked, I believed this, and I didn’t want my writing stolen. I’m glad none of my writing was taken, but I was under a lot of stress. It is finally over, and I never paid the person, I didn’t have enough money anyway.

The bad news about sharing the Bible, most Bibles are copyrighted, and they give you a limited number of verses to use, and you may have to pay royalties.

The good news about sharing the Bible, I bought the World English Bible (WEB) on amazon for only $1.99. I downloaded Kindle For PC, free on amazon. See the amazing copyright information below for the World English Bible!

Chapter 1

 One day a young man had a crush on a young woman. His name was Tim, her name was Samantha. It was a cold snowy morning, and the man had a thought in his head. This thought was will I or will I not ask Samantha to the high school dance?

​            As he stepped onto the icy pavement of the parking lot, he knew the answer. Yes, today I’ll ask Samantha whether or not she rejects me. The dance is tomorrow. And as he stepped twice another thought emerged, I’ll go to that dance whether or not I have a dance partner. He pumped his right fist with indignation and walked his way into the high school after he spoke to his mom on his cell phone. He told her about the girl he had a dream about and likes, and that her name is Samantha.

Tim thought, I’ll never know if Samantha likes me unless I ask her to the dance, then she’ll know that I like her as well.

He was eighteen years old and a senior in a public high school. However, he recollects his days in fifth grade when he used to be the smartest student in his class, but in high school he wasn’t.

Tim said encouraging himself, “If you start low, don't worry, all of the greats started low.”

Tim had a younger sister and a mom and dad. He was a well-educated man, and the starting quarterback for his football team. He hoped to earn a scholarship to attend the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. It was his dream to learn more about himself and to have a career one day. His educational future looked uncertain, but he was a great football player.

As Tim walked through the crowds of students—even some late teachers, he made his way down the cerulean-blue halls to his locker. He put his coat and hat away, grabbed his notebook, a pen, and a textbook. He looked into his mirror, seeing his black crew cut with a handsome Caucasian face. ​

“Room 108,” Tim said, “that's where my stop is.”​

STORY

Ghost Love

Part One the Strip Club

 

HE TOLD his third wife (he was divorced two times) that he wouldn't go to stripper bars, but here he was at one watching women dance. After the waitress gave Leonard Mackly another beer, he said, “Thanks,” and she said, “you’re welcome;” then, she playfully smiled back.

               Leonard smiled as he spoke, saying foolish things since he was drunk. "You know I'm not supposed to be here, I lied to my wife."

               But the waitress with a rose in her hair and a heart shaped bra didn't talk back because she had other tables and customers to please. But this other waitress who was supposed to show her breasts, but didn't, was fired, and on her way out she heard what Leonard said, so in her fury, she heard Leonard's phone ringing. She grabbed the phone, which was left out, and said: "Your man is cheating."

               Too bad for Leonard when his wife heard that.

               Leonard picked up the phone when the waitress walked out. She was wearing casual clothing. While Leonard was listening to his wife, he asked for Stacy's phone number. She was the waitress who smiled at him.

               Now his wife, whose name was Mary, was yelling at him. "You have to sleep in our boat until you take a lie detector test!” She said.

               Mary hung up in anger, especially when she heard Stacy give him the phone number.

               Leonard was afraid to go home so he met Stacy in the afterhours when the stripper bar was closed. At 2:00 A.M. they met at the boat and kissed. Leonard wanted to go further, but she said no.

               Before he went home to see Mary, he slept until noon and was vomiting for the amount of alcohol he drank. Leonard forgot he kissed Stacy, but she called him and left him a message saying, “It was a good dinner.”

               When Leonard got home, and before he unlocked the front door, he checked to see if Mary had left any messages on his phone. She didn’t leave any.

               Leonard took out his keys and unlocked the door. It was still noon when he started saying, "Honey are you home?"

               "Yes dear," he heard a short sound almost as a whisper. Mary was nearby. She was in the dining room.

               It was hot out, ninety degrees, so Leonard didn't have a coat on to put away.

               Mary immediately said, "Who is Stacy, and why did you ask for her phone number?" She was now in the kitchen, a couple of feet away, putting food away. She just got back from the store.

               "I was working as a disability lawyer, and Stacy is one of my new clients," Leonard lied.

               "Oh, then why was there music, like in a strip club?" Mary said.

               "Look honey," he said, "I did what you said, I slept in the boat last night, and I'm willing to take a lie detector test."

               "Okay," she looked and sounded serious. "Leonard, you can sleep in the house once you take the test."

               "I'll take it today," he sounded alert.

               He tried to give her a hug, but Mary said, "No, not until you take the test."

               "Okay, I'll take it right now." So, Leonard walked out of his house and waved bye. Mary waved back in a pleased fashion.

               Leonard was asked a series of questions before the test. He was asked who Mary says Leonard cheated with, and any questions she says were lies, such as, if Leonard went to a strip club.

               Now, Leonard was asked the same questions during the test.

               After the test he was handed a white envelope with the test results.

               Leonard was told not to open it alone, but with Mary. He was confident he would pass the test and get away with all the cheating and lying he was doing to his wife.

              

 

Part Two Lie Detector Test Results

 

WHEN LEONARD got home Mary was taking a nap on her bed. He sat at the foot of the bed and smiled, he said, "Honey, I have the test results, want me to read them for you?"

               "No," Mary said, "give them to me."

               So, she opened her hand and took the white envelope upon opening it. There was nothing in the envelope except the test results.

               Mary was astonished after she read it.

               "You got the kissing question wrong, but passed everything else," she said.

               It took a little while for the test results to sink in. Mary's and Leonard's hearts were breaking, and by the time her tears were falling, and she was wiping the discharge with a long sleeve shirt. She spoke.

               "Why couldn't you be a Catholic like me, and not an atheist Leonard?"

               Mary inhaled through her now wet nasal passages. She was sad and angry. "A true believer wouldn't have cheated Leonard."

               "I'm sorry Mary," he said. "I'll admit it, I did the kissing, the test said, but I promise, I'll never do that again."

               "It’s too late," Mary said, "the only way I'll take you back to be my husband again, is if you stop being an atheist, and be a Catholic."

               "I can't stop being an atheist Mary, I'm sorry," he said.

               So, Leonard kissed his wife's forehead and said goodbye before the door closed. He had tears in his eyes. Now he wished he had never lied and cheated on Mary.

               Mary and Leonard went to a divorce court to finalize their break-up. The papers were signed and filed by both parties and the judge. In settling the matters, Mary received the most property because of her low income. She works as a cashier. She gets the house and one car, while Leonard has a higher income. He received a boat and one car. The break-up was finalized, and they both went their separate ways.

               The first thing Leonard thought he ought to do was to find a place to stay instead of just the boat. So, he looked on the internet and found a very nice apartment for rent. It had two bedrooms and one bathroom with a deck and swimming pool.

               Leonard wondered why the rent was so cheap, only six hundred dollars a month. Leonard kept asking so, eventually, the landlord told him why the price was half the amount. She said people don't stay very long, only a month to six months long, then they complain about a ghost and leave.

               Leonard wasn't worried about any ghost because he doesn't believe they're real, but what he was worried about, is if Mary would let him have any of the stuff inside the house, such as furniture and clothing.

               Leonard was disappointed to find out she wouldn't give him any furniture, but at least he got his clothing back.

               After Leonard filled out an application, the landlord said, “The first person who gives the deposit money gets the place to rent.”

               So, Leonard gave the deposit money of six hundred dollars, immediately. No got the place, since no one else gave a deposit.

               Leonard made an appointment on Friday to sign the lease, which was four days from today.

Leonard slept in the boat until he signed the lease. The first thing he did when he moved into the apartment was hang up his clothes, including his suits, ties, and casual wear.

               It was a hot summer. So, Leonard decided to meet his neighbors and take a swim at the same time, for they were swimming right now. His neighbors were a nice couple with their child swimming on a floating lifesaver.

               "Hello, I'm your new neighbor who lives upstairs, my name is Leonard Mackly."

               All three of his neighbors responded, including the little boy who said, "Hi.”

               The wife said, "Please feel free to swim with us," she noticed he was wearing swim trunks.

               "That's exactly what I was going to ask you, if I could go for a swim with you guys."

               As Leonard tested the water and got into the pool, the husband spoke: "I'm glad you got into the pool with us, because I was going to cut the lawn in thirty minutes."

               "Oh, thanks for telling me," Leonard said.

               "Sure, no problem, and my name is Dave," he said as they shook hands.

               The pool was large enough for each of them to have a space to swim.

               "Boy, it’s a hot one out today," Leonard said. And they all agreed as they swam for thirty minutes.

               Soon later they all got out of the pool and dried off with their towels. Dave went to get the lawn mower while his wife and son went inside and Leonard got ready for work, but before Dave made it to the garage and Leonard got to his apartment door it started to rain.

               Dave said, "I guess I won't be cutting the lawn now.”

               "If you need anything, just let me know," Leonard said.

               "Sure, and same here," Dave said, "do you need an umbrella, Leonard?"

               "If it isn't too much trouble, I do need one," he said.

               "Here's an extra one," Dave said.

               "Thanks,” Leonard said.

               So, with an umbrella Leonard went inside his apartment to dress for work. He wore a clean and smooth black suit with a red tie under his big smile.

               Leonard drove downtown at 4:30 P.M. to arrive early for work. On his laptop, which was one of the only things he got out of the divorce, Leonard prepared for trial with.

               Twenty minutes later his client arrived, apparently, she had trouble finding the place. She suffers from a mental illness called paranoid schizophrenia, and she had it for one year, which is enough to prove she has the illness.

               Before the trial started, she was scanned by the police officer for any metallic items. There was no metal on her person. Her mother had the keys, and she drove her in the rain. There was only about eight minutes left until the trial started. With this time Janet and her lawyer Leonard prepared for the case.

               She told him she has anxiety and paranoid thoughts about people wanting to kill her, that there are hit-men after her. She also had homicidal and suicidal thoughts.

               After she told Leonard what medication she's on and that it’s not completely working, the trial started.

               After introductions, the Judge told her to speak up, for the microphone she was speaking into was for recording her voice not to raise the pitch.

               The judge asked her, “Are you on Risperdal for schizophrenia?”

               She said, “Yes.” Then they talked about what voices she hears and what hallucinations she has. She said, “I hear a voice that tells me to kill people and I see demons, but I don't think the voices and hallucinations are real like I used to think they were.”

               The command voices had no effect on her.

               The Judge asked her, "Do you do any chores?"

               She spoke up and said, "Yes, I do the laundry."

               Then the Judge notified her, "There are jobs available where you can work alone, so you don't have to be bothered by others concerning your mental illnesses."

               Then it was the lawyer Leonard's turn to speak, and he said, "Janet has no transportation to go to work, for her mother won't drive her, and she has anxiety when she rides the bus, or free rides, because of the people, she thinks they are going to kill her."

               "Is this true Janet, that you can't stay on a bus, that you have to get off because of your anxiety? You know Janet, if you lie to me you can go to jail for perjury."

               "Yes, I know," she said, "and I can't go on busses, or other rides because of my anxiety."

               "Any final notes?" The Judge said.

               Leonard and Janet said, "No."

               "Okay, I will come to a decision after I review this recording at home," the Judge said. "I will send the results to both you Janet and you Leonard, and with that the court case is finished.”

               Leonard and Janet shook hands and left to their separate ways with a feeling that they would win the case.

 

Part Three the Ghost

 

BEFORE LEONARD went home, he went shopping. He bought eggs, noodles, milk, cereal, coffee, and pasta sauce. By the time he got home it was 6:10 P.M. He made dinner with what he bought at the store. So, he had pasta with plenty left over that he threw out.

               With an hour and fifty minutes he decided to watch television, and lucky for him his two favorite cable shows would be on, about a pawn shop and a crime investigation.

               With the shows over at 8:00 P.M. he decided to go to sleep. During his sleep he had dream about an attractive woman. He dreamed she was lying on his bed. She was giving him a massage with one leg around him. Then she was kissing his neck and whispered in his ear saying, "Let’s make-out."

               But Leonard denied her and said, "No." He said no because he wants to start changing his habits where he kisses other woman, since he doesn't want to fornicate.

               But the lady kept asking to have sex with him, and he kept saying, "No," until he woke up.

               He thought he saw an image on his bed for a half-second when he opened his eyes, then it vanished.

               When Leonard was trying to get up something forcefully pushed him off his bed and onto the floor.

               Leonard heard a whisper in his ear saying, "Kiss me, or else.”

               Leonard felt threatened and that he was dreaming, because he doesn't believe in ghosts, and this was clearly supernatural.

               He pinched himself to find he was still awake, then he said, "I don't do that anymore, and especially not with a ghost.”

               Leonard got off the floor and searched the room. He thought, now I do believe in ghosts. The ghost must have left because he couldn't find it in his room, or his apartment for that matter.

               Leonard began to think this was a one-time thing that he shouldn't worry about it.

               So, he decided to have cereal for breakfast then go for a swim before work. Leonard ate bran flakes which he buys for the extra fiber for a healthy digestive system. He finished his second and last bowl of cereal while he wore his swim trunks.

               When Leonard was swimming alone, he felt a down push then being held under, he tried to break free for a whole minute. Then his head, which was like a tree full and thick in summer, gasped for air.

               After Leonard recovered, he heard a voice from one of the lawn chairs, and his heart started to beat rapidly, not just because she was attractive, but because she seemed to appear out of thin air.

               "Hi, my name is Carla," she said.

               "I'm Leonard,” he said.

               "Come and sit down here," she pointed to an empty lawn chair. She was a dark skinned woman with pretty brown eyes, and Leonard was a muscular white male with thick, full, black hair, they fell in love at first sight.

               So, he sat down in the empty lawn chair. The chemistry he felt with her was as if he was rocketing through space. "Wow, do you feel this chemistry between us Carla?"

               "I sure do," she said. "How about we make out?"

               "Okay, just a little," Leonard said.

So, they made out and Carla was very aggressive as she kissed him. "Carla, no sex, and especially because there is a whole family living downstairs. What would they say if they saw us?"

               So, Leonard pushed off Carla. As he blinked once she was gone, she vanished in thin air.

               Now that was strange, Leonard thought, where did she go?

               He finished swimming for about thirty minutes, and he was pissed-off that he didn't get Carla's phone number.

               Leonard dried off and he remembered he forgot to put on sun lotion, so he applied some.

              

 

Part Four in Love with A Ghost

 

WHEN HE HAD his suit and tie on and his laptop, he was ready for work. This next case was for a blind person, all she needed to do was see a doctor to verify that she was blind then go to the trial.

               It turns out she didn't need to go to trial. She won her case as soon as the doctor verified, she was blind.

               After the case Leonard went to buy furniture for his new apartment. He bought furniture for his bedroom, dining room, kitchen, and front room. It was to be delivered at different times because he didn't go to the same stores, and they have different time schedules.

               When Leonard got home his new kitchen table arrived, and he didn't experience anything supernatural, such as ghosts.

               Next the television stand arrived.

The rest of his furniture should arrive tomorrow or the day after that.

               Leonard ate dinner and watched reruns of his favorite shows before going to bed. When Leonard went to bed, he had another dream or one that he thought was a dream.

               Again, a woman tried to seduce him, but this time he recognized who it was, it was Carla.

               She rubbed his back, then sat at the foot of his bed cross legged. She kept whispering to him, "Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me..."

               When Leonard awoke from his sleep he was startled, but Carla was gone. So, he got up to use the restroom.

               It was summer on a Tuesday, and after he used the bathroom, Leonard shaved and checked who rang the doorbell. It was more furniture movers, apparently, they had a brand new couch for Leonard's front room.

               He opened the door for them, and they brought it in.

               Leonard ate breakfast and watched television on his new couch. He was ready to go for a swim after he watched television, so he got his swim trunks ready.

               When he stepped outside and to his surprise, Carla was out talking to his neighbors.

               Maybe Carla isn't a ghost after all, Leonard thought. And maybe I love her because I had dreams about her.

               "Hello," said Dave's wife, child, and Carla.

               Dave spoke and said, "We're all friends here, and Carla said she's in love with you Leonard, what do you think of that?"

               "Wow," Leonard said, “I'm in love with her too.” Carla smiled when she heard that.

               "Come in the pool with us Leonard," Carla said.

               So, Leonard sat down in the pool steps where his legs only pierced the water like a flamingo. Then he walked down the stairs and into the deep section where his chin was visible.

               The boy was on a flotation device, while Dave and his wife were talking.

               As the water got deeper, Leonard began to swim next to Carla with the dog paddle.

               "I have something to tell you,” Leonard said.

               "What is it," Carla said

               "Well, I've been having dreams about you."

               "What kind of dreams?"

               "Well, they show I'm in love with you, what do you think of that?"

               "Wow," Carla said, "I like that a lot. Would you be willing to go to a place where we can be alone?"

               "What kind of place?" Leonard said.

               "How about your apartment," Carla said.

               "Okay, then let’s go," They both agreed.

               So, Carla and Leonard both went upstairs to his apartment, but just as more furniture was arriving. Leonard opened the door for the movers as Carla waited upstairs.

               It was the last of his furniture, including: A bed, lamps, chairs, dishwasher, and a dresser. It took a whole hour for the furniture to be moved in.

               While the move was taking place Carla and Leonard were talking and watching TV on cable.

               After the move, Carla was talked up and was asking Leonard if she could see the bedroom, Leonard agreed saying, "Yes."

 

 

Part Five Tragedy

 

AS SOON AS Carla got to the bedroom she was lying on the bed and asking him to come closer, but Leonard said, "No, not until we are wed. You are aggressive Carla, if it was the old me, I would have jumped on the idea of us having relations, immediately, but now I'm different because I decided not to do fornication anymore."

               "Well, that sucks," Carla said. "There's something I need to tell you Leonard."

               "Okay," he said.

               "You know those dreams you've been having?"

               Leonard nodded.

               "Well, they weren't really dreams, that was actually me trying to seduce you."

               "This is hard for me to say, but Carla, are you a ghost?"

               "Yes," she said. "But right now I manifest here. I had a tragic death an hour before my wedding."

               "Well, you shouldn't be trying to have fornication," Leonard said, and I have a question, Carla. What is dying like?"

               "Well, for me," Carla said. “Me and my engaged boyfriend, were violently murdered and robbed the day of our wedding. I died instantly, so I didn’t suffer, but I never got married.”

               "I can help you with that," Leonard said. "Just stop trying to seduce me, okay?”

               "Okay," Carla said.

               After what Leonard heard and seen, he decided not to be an atheist anymore, and he thought that God must be real.

               When Carla got off the bed and stood, Leonard took her hand and fell on one knee, he said, “Carla will you be my wife?"

               "Of course I will,” Carla said with a big smile on her face. They hugged snugly, and as Leonard spoke, she vanished between his arms. He said, "Let’s get married. Carla, where did you go? Come back, I’m trying to help you!”

               As time went on Leonard waited for Carla to come back, then he received an important letter in the mail about Janet's disability case, she won the case.

               Wow, good for her, Leonard thought.

               A couple hours later which were passed by swimming and watching cable television. Leonard got ready for work.

               His next disability case was about a man with no hands. His name was Derek, and Leonard will help him as his lawyer.

               There was a discussion about whether Derek could afford robotic hands or not, and this conversation went on during the trial between Leonard and the judge.

               Apparently, Derek's health insurance wouldn't cover those hands, so Leonard won the discussion.

               After the case when Leonard went home and before he loosened his tie and got on casual clothing, he searched for Carla, and he was unable to find her.

               The next day, and after breakfast Leonard went looking for Carla. The first place he searched, besides the apartment, was the swimming pool.

               And there she was, beautiful Carla once again swimming by herself.

               "Hi, Carla," Leonard said excitedly.

               "Hi Leonard," Carla said with a big smile, "get your swim trunks on."

               "Okay, I'll be right back."

               So, Leonard got on his swim trunks. When Leonard came back, he used the diving board for the first time and, splash, he was in the pool.

               Carla and Leonard were hungry for each other, so they kissed right away. Carla broke away for a moment and caught her breath, she said, “Let’s get married at St. Adalbert church on the first, at noon."

               "Okay," he said.

               "Okay, I'll be there too," she said.

               "I'll be gone for a while," she said. "Until it’s time for our wedding Leonard."

               "Okay," he said.

               Then she vanished between his arms.

              

 

Part Six the Wedding

 

IT WAS NOW the first of the next month, and Leonard received a letter that Derek won his disability case. Leonard was so happy that Derek won, while he ate breakfast.

               Before Leonard went to work today, he had the wedding scheduled, and right now he was looking for Carla inside the apartment and next at the swimming pool, but he couldn't find her.

               She must be at the St. Adalbert's church, he thought.

               Right now, it was 10:00 A.M. and Leonard decided to watch television until eleven-fifteen.

               Now it was time for Leonard to get ready, so he wore a black suit and drove himself to St. Adalbert's church.

               As the wedding started the best man and priest waited at the altar with Leonard for the bride. Next the groomsmen and bridesmaids came down in pairs. And last was Carla who came down the aisle with pleasant music, they were all in awe of her beautiful dress.

               After introductions and everything was said by the priest and Carla and Leonard both said, "I do.”

               The priest finished with, "You may now kiss the bride."

               And as they kissed Carla began to vanish before everyone in the church, starting with her feet and all the way up to her head.

               "Don't be startled," the priest said. "She's in heaven now."

               And after the wedding Carla was never seen again.

               Leonard was single again so he thought about what Mary said, "A true believer wouldn't have cheated." Leonard got on his best suit with a handful of roses.

               When he knocked on the door and Mary answered it, she said, "I missed you Leonard, thank you for coming over."

               "I missed you too," Leonard said, "and I came over to tell you something important, I'm a true believer now and I will never cheat again. Will you get back together with me?"

               "Of course I will, after I destroy those divorce papers.” She ripped them up and Leonard helped.

               Mary hugged him.

               Then they started kissing,

saying, "We're back together! We're back together..."

               And Leonard spoke, saying, "Yes we are! Yes, we are..."

               So, they made-up and went swimming at Leonard's apartment.

               A week later, Leonard found out by his landlord that his neighbors learned about Carla’s tragic end, but they didn’t feel haunted anymore thanks to Leonard. He said goodbye to his neighbors, and Leonard moved back in with Mary, and they renewed their marriage. He read the Bible many times and Jesus Christ became his Lord and Savior.

 

Neobadians

 

When governor Jack Holeson was president of Neobadia, he tried to kill all of the genetically engineered orphans, but one survived and his name was Alek.

When Jack became president of Neobadia he was against genetic engineering, he said it was playing God, and it was wrong; instead he made a group of soldiers called the Headhunters, and their duty was to hunt the creatures of Neobadia, to get the sought after Nectar by killing the animals.

Now Alek was for genetic engineering and to not kill the creatures. Instead, he wants to stop this president at all costs and, hopefully, save these animals one way or another.

Chapter 1 (Sample)

Ethan Everton’s spaceship almost escaped. He was careful to not crash, blazingly, into an iceberg. There were creatures everywhere.

He almost landed into a wide mouth, a worm. creatures here always seem to be very hungry and dangerous. Ethan should watch himself, not to mention, he was being hunted by a Headhunter.

His ship was no match, but he couldn’t let his wife be captured. She has a bounty on her head: dead or alive.

This is Ethan’s home world, he’s never been anywhere else, and he never planned to be, that’s until Killarla came into his life, his first and only wife. They were more than just lovers; she was his best friend too. He would hate to lose her.

Ethan grabbed her hand and pulled off the burning rubble as he released her legs. She was a dirty mess, but nowhere compared to his spacecraft. The left wing was a total wreck.

Ethan couldn’t purchase all his wife wanted when spaceships came into fashion. She didn’t get a good deal. She wasn’t happy. There were many spacecrafts.

They ran. Their bodies left the warm ship, and they had just enough Nectar to keep them warm. There should be shelter to find before they run out of Nectar.

If only Killarla didn’t steal a hunter’s mark. She made a twenty thousand profit in funds.

Chapter 1

 

 

If it was only a dream, why did I not shake it but hold it still so firmly? Why did the orb of glass not crack upon the Moon, smaller than the size of the palm of my hand, where I could squeeze as hard as I could, yet not so? My heart was in it, but why? A man’s thought elapsed. He stood to release the tension in his hand, but before the shimmering orb was let go, he observed a three-foot pedestal, half the size of himself, being a stature of six feet. He looked top to bottom to where the crown of the skinny neck was a bed cushioned to fit an orb. The flat bottom had two legs, silver, heart shaped, and entwined.

            His great grandfather shared it too, he thought, his dream.

            He twirled the glass orb between his thumb and forefinger and around his fingers until it looked back at him like a giant eye, blinking, but not more menacing than the hard time he was thinking of, how the first Moon colony was built, but in Trevor’s case, yes, his name was Trevor Trahern. He even believed he had a small amount of royal blood back to the dark ages. The documentation could prove it, he would say, but as he was saying, he was thinking of the first station on the Moon.

            Trevor remembered when he imagined the Moon as a young child, a platform for First Reach and many generations of men before he was raised. Here's how it goes:

 

A dusty old Moon,

Like a shaved rock and bricks bashed together

And shale that was as broken peanut butter brittle,

But not little as some were the size

Of or half a man—but shrewd and congruent.

These bits of rock or Moon rock,

Some might say,

Were used in the construction

Of an everyday First Reach public abode.

It was built in the hardest of times,

But not as hard as Moonlit,

An ale that would bring you back

To giddy childhood memories and a warm hearth’s fire,

Like your heart,

But it poured even as a steaming smelter

To dry parched tongues in radiated heat.

Moon Divers were risking their lives day or night.

A rock, or, as they would have it,

A pearl in the dark sea,

A pricey timeless ripple in space-time.

An ageless hope of mankind and the muscle

Within watching ever gleefully,

As the expectant watchtower,

Waiting for her mother ship to one

Day land on her white shores.

A sign of hope, she was

First Reach of Moon Lodger’s Inn.
