Travel on Stars
I do not own Holes, Magnet, X-ray, Zigzag or Twitch.
My name is Michael Taravera, welcome to my first Holes fic. AU also.

To Whom It May Concern:
Do you think you know people? Do you know who D-tent is? I can tell you…I was one of them. Who knows better the problems we overcame escaping this hell than I, the Sagittarius? The alpha, X-ray.
Do you think you know what it's like to live in a country not your own? Who knows better the pain we had while crossing to waste land, physical but mostly emotional with our own inner demons than I, the Libra? The beta, Magnet?
Do you know what it's like to be afraid of everything noise, every touch, every dark shape? Who knows the fears and dares and dramas we experienced while fleeing from hell you'll prob'ly never understand better that I, the Aquarius? The pyromaniac, Zigzag?
Does anyone understand how it feels to not be able to control one's actions? Who would know better to have you life on a path only to fly out of a neat line into unknown territory than I, the Capricorn? The racer, Twitch?
We could tell you about it; our hopes and dreams and loves and suspicions. We could tell you our adventures that one day our children and our children's children and children's children's children hear. We could explain what it's like to be all on your own, to be fearless and juvenile.
And we will.
We'll tell you, tell you the truth.
Hear we sign,
Alan Rivers
Rex Swaford
Theodore Regan
José Marquez
Brain Rau
Ricky Alexander
Louis Turner
We swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so it be death to part.
