"What a Beautiful Sunrise!
by Ava Douglas


I think it's?.... the sun?... something is wrong.
The clock; the chickens crowing?
Lights, oout.
Dogs restless.
The sky is red. Something..."
       "Train com,ing,,, listen."

"I wish I...; could understand....
Wake up! Something is wrong.."

       "I heard a train..."

"Wake up; clocks are...? No power.
Sky is ALL red; everywhere All around."

       "Roosters crow. Dreaming that...
       What time? 'YaGramdma's Morbier' struck two;
       and I heard a train long long whistle?
       Smoke? it's not fire....

       All electronics shot; watch dead; car's shot.
       Jeep may run? The mantle clock and Morbier, OK."

"I'm frightened!
Terrified."

       "Get your shoes, we're OK,
       let's go outside and watch;
       it..... is..... beautiful...

       No stars;
       clouds;
       and red above the clouds?"

"We are, all alone. I wish the kids were here and the little ones.
Is this one of your precious! GRBs?

Classified? secrets!?
700? 153? Or whatever!?"

       "Give me' second.

       Yes, I believe that it is. But we are, OK.
       It is far away, very far away.
       And not classified NOW!

       We should go check the neighbors.
       I'll check the Jeep; you pack something to eat..."

"We stay togeeeether...
First the Jeep...
Then food."

       "Great, the Jeeeeepe runs;
       also 'traceeetor'.
       Mac the Ham.... we'll hike up 'taMac's while talking';

       Backpacks, flashlights, matches, water......

       Ready?

       Eleven signals beamed at Earth... from 700 to 86,000... light years out;
       '53,000' WAS..... opposite our sun 53,000 years ago?

       All indicated '53' would 'sacrifice'?....

       .....synchronized but different and beaming just arrived in 2004?
