DEAD LETTERS

Hi Bill!
There are many people who feel as you do. I'm enough of a cynic to believe that every generation thinks their time is 'the worst'. Just look at all the Rapture nuts who said the world was ending.
There have been countless doomsayers throughout history, yet we're still here.*Smile*
I enjoyed the story you shared; it felt like a a great Twilight Zone idea. You portrayed the angst very well.
I hope the sun comes out in WA soon! If not, book a vacation to Egypt. We have sun 360 days a year! *Cool*

W.D.
Thank you for showing my comments. For me, it has been a gripping situation since May 1984. And that is an understatement! It was, at that time, when my small perspective of reality took a drastic turn, and then I realized that there are other factors beyond our means...or understanding.
What would you do if you came face to face with an UFO? How would you react and think? Even 27 years later? This is not a cheap-shot but the real deal.
--slick
Well, Slickster, if I came face-to-face with a UFO, I'd be like, "Oh my God, a freaking UFO! Please don't kill or probe me!" And then I'd run like the devil himself were after me. *Sad*

I know the weather is bad, but it could be worse. It could be raining vampires and werewolves.

Recites "Broken Wings

My little angel battered and bruised
wings too broken to fly
Lives in her abusive world
trying hard not to cry.

A childhood that’s lost in time
a child that’s lost in space
All her emptiness and sorrow
made life really hard to face.

Pain that’s so overwhelming
and shame that’s hard to hide
A child who lost her innocence
and carries those memories inside.

With no future to her existence
and no reason to be alive
Her life was stolen then destroyed
and now must struggle to survive.

A life with no sense of direction
a truth that can tell her no lies
memories that continually haunt her
and a wish for her demise.

Wings so badly broken
it hampers her escape
Bad thoughts control her thinking
and guide her to a catatonic state.

So hopeless is this child
whose words could not convey
The seriousness of her thoughts
because she killed herself today.
