ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE IV 254 RICK AND CINDY'S STORY "I met Cindy in 2014 at an Occupy Movement event in Seattle, as we were standing up for Affordable Health Care, since for some reason the Republicans were still against it. Eighty percent of the American people were for it, since most of us were covered, and health care cost was dropping, almost sixty-five percent. Obama finally got health care out of the hands of lobbyists, and back into the pockets of American's." We all knew this, since we had all lived through it all, watching the Republican held House not doing anything positive for the lives of everyday Americans. Instead, they just fell to lobbyist money, not what we voted them in for. But their story as interesting, and satisfied our need to heal our homesickness. "Since her father owned a hunting lodge near Mendenhall Glacier, and I was a hunting guide, it just made sense to move into the Lodge full time. Care take the place." "Sounds sweet," somebody said, and since there were now more than twenty three adults, two preteens, and three babies here on Land at Home, I'm not sure about who said what. After all, two thirds of my attention was on my twins. "We lived there for the next four years, eventually allowing four other couples move in, creating a survival type commune, living off the land, hunting caribou and rabbits. It was great, until last year, after DC was nuked. There was a wave of people moving north, getting out of the lower forty eight. Herds of caribou were slaughtered, the rivers were netted and the salmon were whipped out." We all looked at each other, Hans stoked the fire. "The military never arrived in the great state of Alaska. We watched all the "The New Reality Shows', the show that Rachel has started again after seven months of the show being of the air. We recorded them all, wondering if it was all true. We wondered how can all that be true. From the SEVEN nuking DC and New York, to the slaughter of twenty thousand at the Georgia Guide stones, over and over. The boxes loaded with bodies and shipped by High Speed Rail. We finally figured it was real when they filmed in Camp FEMA Barstow. Man, how can they do that to people?" Sig said, "Take over our farms, and starve the world. It was easy." "Yah, well, we're glad we're here. Aren't we babe?" His wife nodded and smiled. BOOK OF JOHN II 155 "So, anyway, drones finally arrived, strafing all the people who came to Alaska to escape the New World Order. We learned to hide most of the days, ventured out to trap rabbits at night." "The last month was the worst. We were barely surviving. All we had was watching the 'The New Reality Show'. Man that Rachel is hot." With that, his mate, Cindy hit him mockingly on the leg. "Stay focused," Sig said. "Hey, just kidding." "What about weather. We heard there is a hurricane outside Florida," Ken asked. "We live in the Keys." "The news says the storm, bigger then Sandy and Saul, has destroyed everything north of Orlando. Disney World has been leveled. The supper storm is now bearing down on the cratered DC area, the tubes are filling with water." "The tubes?" "The subways. The storm is now bearing down on Connecticut, and is flooding all the way inland with heavy rain to Augusta." "And New York?" "What, New York State? There isn't any New York City anymore. Everyone within fifty miles has been evacuated because of the nuclear fallout. But now, the whole eastern seaboard is being evacuated. The ocean surge is expected to be over fifteen feet." "Like the Newport surge two years ago." "Was it that long ago already? So it seems the safest place on earth right now is South America, which has been renamed SOAMER. They are the only continent not nuked. The fallout is worldwide now, thanks to the Jet Stream." "Which is why the ABSOLUTE is centered there, being the safest place on the planet," Ronald theorized. "They had an earthquake there just before the SEVEN announced who they were. It killed the New World Order rep from China," Dave reminded us. Rick filled in, "But they haven't had any major storms there. Oh, the water is rising around the world and Copacabana Beach has eroded away, but they still call the place paradise." ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE IV 256 "Okay, it's getting late. Tomorrow, we will send a small group off towards the Pigmy Nation, find out if they survived the rain and flooding they had to experience in the last couple days. Check in on Fawn and Dieter. We also will check the cliff trail; see if it needs any rebuilding, since that way might be our only escape if another monster shows up." Rick and Cindy looked at each other in confusion. We split up, gathering in little groups as we began the bedding process, always leaving two on watch. All the past was explained to the new couple, like the monster maybe killing two people since we got here. Dave was killed, and Umbala's husband, although that was not proved. Rick and Cindy were still confused, like all newcomers, hoping and preying this was heaven. The next morning, Will, Hans, Ronald and myself let the Black Forest, turning left, and head down the long trail through the low hills heading towards Lake Crawdad. "What do you think we'll find," Ronald asked. The last time he had seen them, he was held at spear point and scared beyond belief. He was a good guy, never been in a fight, never raised his voice. "If it rained as hard as it did here, there might be nothing left, since all the buildings are made of adobe" I said. "So they are probably rebuilding." "Sure, I guess." "So, where do you think they came from?" "Who, the Pigmy's?" "Yah." "Dude, they came from earth, just like us. The biggest difference, they came here hundreds of years ago." "Huh?" "They were brought here a long time ago, taken from the jungles of Central Africa, maybe at the same time white Europeans discovered them about eight hundred years ago." "So why were they brought here?" BOOK OF JOHN II 257 "I don't know. Why were we brought here. To nurture the positive spirit? I believe that's the case. These people were probably living within their means in the jungles, and once discovered, were subjected and subverted, forces to believe in something they didn't need to survive peacefully and spiritually." "What do you mean, forced to believe in something they didn't need?" "Forces to turn Christian, like the American Incans, or the Aztec, Incan, Mayans who were forced to turn Catholic." "What did they have to believe in?" "All the early civilizations believed in the same thing. They believed in the Star People." "Who?" "The ones who are setting up these different colony's throughout the Verse." Ronald looked at me. "The grey's," I said. "The ones who do the bidding of Godhead, the creator of the Verse." At that time, we turned a corner around the mountain we were traversing, and we could see the Pigmy Town at the Lake side. From our vantage point, there was nothing there. The trail was hard to follow, being routed with rain damage, looking like it had become a river. All the water from our bigger valley all funneled this way, except the water that flowed through our cave and out the cliff trail entrance. So, again, we saw nothing. No pigmy's, no Fawn and Dieter.
