It was 4 in the morning, and I was lying in my studio apartment in Charleston. It was cold and dark, and I got out of my bed. I then went to prepare to go to work. I then sat down on the porch, writing down in my journal about what I would do for the day. The answer was well, eating some crappy food at the taco restaurant since the corner store I worked at would only pay me a measly seven dollars and twenty-five cents an hour, and I worked part-time, which made my apartment look like it came straight from the barracks. I then grabbed my car keys and left my house.

While cycling along the street, I saw some nice clouds moving around my town. I then parked locked my bike up, and went into it.

I clocked in for my shift and was taking customers. People went by and left, but all of a sudden, my stomach started to feel uncomfortable. My eyes started to blur, hurting my eyes. I didn't even know what happened until my boss woke me up. He told me someone gave me a concussion and robbed the store while I was washing my hands from cooking chicken wings. My boss told me to go home for the day. So I went home. I then went and sat on the couch and said to myself, "You are 22 years old, do you want to be working at a corner store for the rest of your life?". I have been working at this store since I was 14, and I excelled at school and was declared valedictorian, but then I got lazy after high school and kept working this job. I then moved out of my parent's house and moved into a low-income apartment, where I pay $150 a month. to live here. I live below the tax threshold. No investments, no nothing. Just an introvert who lives in a shack.

I then go and get up from my couch, and go outside to the local bar, where I order a non-alcoholic beer. As I am sitting down on the chair, I see a bar fight happening. I pay my 3 dollars and run out of the bar. I then head to the mountain where I sit down and enjoy the peace outside, from my low sleep. I fall asleep in the peace for a few hours, and then I walk home and fall asleep.

I woke up from my sleep. I then go to work and take the bus. Me and the bus driver have a conversation as we are driving around Charleston.

"How's your day today?", the bus driver said.

"Alright, just heading to my job today", I said.

"Hello, have you heard of the indie music concert in Charleston next Saturday?"

"No, I have not?"

"Well you should go, your favorite band, the Collard Greens is playing!"

"Man the Collard Greens, that band is the best!", I said.

"How much is it?''

"About 50 dollars."

"Oh my fingernails, that is too much money!"

"Oh, my fingernails? What!", the bus driver said.

"Oh, just trying to watch my language, cursing doesn't make me feel too intelligent.", I said.

The bus stops near my work, and I get off the bus and tell the bus driver goodbye.

"Goodbye Neill, don't forget about the Collard Greens!", the bus driver said.

I walk down a couple blocks down the street, and I order a burger from the burger stand on Turkey Blvd. Those cheeseburgers are so good they make you feel like you're in the song Clair de Lune.

I eat my cheeseburger, then I head to work. As I clock in for my shift, my boss said,

"Neill, I have heard of your income struggles, and I am going to help you. I am extending your hours to full-time, you have earned it, Monday."

I then smile at my boss and give him a firm handshake. I then jump around outside my house, jumping with happiness and joy, realizing that I can eat more luxurious foods. I then get up and go and clean the store, and help the customers.

It's now 4 PM, and no customers are arriving. The chicken wings I fried are so dry that they aren't even good anymore. These wings are horrible but I still have to sell them because the truck drivers still buy them.

But now, as I am eating pizza and a soda pop, this woman walks into the store. And my goodness, she is very gorgeous. She walked up to the counter and said, "Can I have 2 gallons of gasoline?"

"That will be $6.40", I said to her.

She gives me the money and leaves the store.

Now I could talk about how good this woman looks and all, but I want this novel to go fast and I'm breaking the fourth wall so quit wasting my time!

I clock out of my shift and go home.

I grab my keys and open the door to my apartment. But this time, I go and clean it after a long time, and I feel good about myself, giving myself a little bit of self-confidence. This time instead of a TV dinner, I grab a pan out of the fridge and eat some Ube cake with some ice cream for dessert. It was the best dinner I ever had in a while. I clean the dishes, brush my teeth, and go to bed.

It is now Saturday. I woke up early and decided to volunteer for my church. I am a member of The Latter Day Saints church. I put on an outfit and walked to the church.

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by my friend Barbara and we attended the service. I put some chairs up and attended the choir. When we were young, me and my friend would go to Clearwater, go in and apply as members of Scientology, and report members to the police, but then we got kicked out. Our church in West Virginia still has a rivalry with them to this day, and they have come to West Virginia, where some members have been arrested, because the Mormons kept getting into fights with Scientology, despite both organizations being seen with cult status. This is 2002, and it is somewhat like we are a Mafia, but we don't steal. The organizations fight over their beliefs and trolling in the state.

As we finish our service, they usually tell us to do nothing when we get home, but I was bored so I went to sit at the local park instead. As I sit down drinking a soda pop on the bench, I close my eyes looking at the clouds. But a few seconds later, all of a sudden I see a woman looking into my face, and I fall onto the ground, getting my white button-up shirt all dirty. I get up and I realize it's the same woman I have met earlier.

"Hello? Are you alright?" she said.

"Yeah, I'm alright.", I said.

"But anyways, how's your day?"

"My day is going good.", she said.

"How is yours?"

"My day is going good, I just got out of church service.", I said as I dusted off my clothes.

"Are you a Mormon?"

"How did you know, is it because of the white shirt and pants? Been a member since I was 19.", I said.

"Yeah, that's how I could tell.", she said.

"Haven't I seen you at the corner store yesterday?"

"I was at the corner store, Rob's, how did you know that?"

"I don't know, because I saw you there!"

Me and I laughed loudly, smiling at each other.

"My name is Ashley, what's your name?"

"Neill, Robert Neill.", I said.

Ashley smiles at me and moves her hair elegantly.

"Well it's good to meet you, Robert, have a great day!", she said as she walked away. I got up from my chair, smiling all day that this woman decided to come up and talk to me because I have bad charisma. I walk to my house, and I dance around to some tunes from the 1950's. I enjoy that old-school jazz music. And I'm out here dancing, and I'm having a good time and all of a sudden I'm tired and I fall asleep. I just drank some water and had so much energy and all of a sudden I woke up again and started dancing. Then a few minutes later I get tired and go to sleep again.

It is now a Sunday morning, and I go outside. It is 6 AM, cloudy and foggy as it is in Charleston, and I am walking, feeding the birds some food. I look up at the sky and say that I'm going to have my planet someday. I then get up to go walk to the soda fountain to order a large soda. I was going to think about ordering a chocolate shake, but I knew that it was expensive and that I only had 50 dollars to my name. I sat down, drinking a giant homemade cola that was better than the mass-produced soda pop. I then dropped some sugar packets on the floor, and it sent me into a rage so much that I cursed. The people at the soda fountain were so mad at me, that they told me to leave, and that I was banned for 90 days. I was so sad that I couldn't have the best sodas in West Virginia anymore so I sat on the bench in anger. After a few minutes of sitting down on the bench, I hear someone calling my name. It was Ashley, smiling at me. She asked me why I looked so depressed, and I told her that I had just been kicked out of the soda fountain. She sat down and smiled saying, I'm sorry.

"It's okay", I said.

"Why did you get kicked out anyway?", she said.

"I got into a rage fit for throwing all the sugar packets on the floor, and I said a curse word so loud that everyone heard it, and I got temporarily kicked out.", I explained.

"Well that sucks.", Ashley said.

Now with my status of being a loner, I decided to use my charisma, but most of it was so negative, that everyone ran away from me. I'm not a fundamentalist though, I only just want to have one wife in the household. I get up and proceed to tell Ashley the most corny, dumbest pick-up line that all alphas would stay away from.

"Are you trash, because I want to take you out."

She laughed at the line, smiling in happiness.

I then asked Ashley if she wanted to go out to eat some Indian food.

"Yeah sure, what time do you want to go?"

"About 7 pm.", I said.

"Okay", Ashley said.

I smiled and started walking around the park with her and we started talking about our lives, this was a very philosophical conversation.

"So how is your life", I said.

"Great. I get along with my family and like to cook and help my family around the house.", Ashley said.

"That's good. I haven't talked to my family in a while, they're always busy taking care of the other family, I'm the oldest."

"Well that sucks, I hope you and your family reunite again."

"What's your career?" I said.

"I work as a tax consultant at B&R Stock, I know you work at the gas station," Ashley said as we were walking.

"Yeah, I work for minimum wage, I used to be a valedictorian in my high school."

"You are very intelligent. Why didn't you go to college, you have all the opportunities that you want.", Ashley said.

"I got lazy around the end of senior year, and I didn't progress and ended up living in low-income apartments at 21, I've been working the same job since I was 14 years old.", I said.

"Well that's alright, we all get into struggles sometimes. You can get back up, you're not a failure." Ashley said.

I smile and then I grab Ashley's hand. She smiles and blushes at me as we walk out of the park.

3 Hours Later

"Well, it was good seeing you, have a great day Rob. See You Tomorrow at the Indian Restaurant!" Ashley says.

"You too Ashley", I say as she walks away.

I slowly walk up the mountain and sit there for a few hours. It is at 8 PM. I memorize and think about my life for a minute as I sit on a giant boulder. I lay down on the boulder and fell asleep to the sound of nature. I hear the birds chirp, and I go to sleep praying with a smile on my face as I hear the crickets chirp.

4|

It is 7 in the morning. This time it is sunny and warm. I woke up, feeling better than ever and I walked around the mountain, drinking some fresh water from the faucet. I walked around, jumping barefoot in joy, walking down the mountain going home. As I got into my apartment, I took a shower, getting the dirt off from sleeping on the mountain and I drank some grape juice and ate some chicken and broccoli. But then I thought about something. What if I did go to college, what if I did get my education? That's when I realized that it was not too late. I then slowly put on my work clothes and go to the gas station on the bus. I then got off the bus and clocked in for my first full-time shift in my lifetime, something that a man should be proud of in America. I then clock in stock up on the goods in my store and help customers. Then I realized something, the power went out. I realized that the people in the grocery store were gone. I was confused, so I grabbed a flashlight and went to explore the grocery store to see where the people were. No one is there. I walk to the front door, only to realize that it is locked. I then got scared and started running to the back of the store, where I felt something pull me. I turned behind, seeing a figure that is black, wearing a suit. I then hear a voice.

"ROBERT, ROBERT!", the manager said, shaking me.

"Woah, woah, woah, what happened," I said.

"You were having a hallucination in the store, you said you were seeing things and that the front door was locked, it was just waving the whole time because you were waving your hand at the door.

"Man that was scary", I said to my boss.

"Anyways, what did you eat, you were going nuts, everyone was looking at you in the store like what the heck?"

"I ate some brownies on the counter, they were on the Employee's snacks on the table."

Oh, no. Did you eat those brownies?

Yeah, what was in them?

"What was in them, what was in them, there was **** IN THOSE BROWNIES!

I stood there in shock, realizing what had happened. I collected myself quickly and went to work. I healed quickly from greening out, but I just wondered why this happened. I then get the delivery driver, and I take all of the food out of the truck on my first full-time shift. The truck driver gives me the money and leaves. I go grab out my wallet, and proceed to buy a stick of gum with it. It was good to chew gum and to drink the freezing water from the water fountain. The power went out again, but this time the power went out. I called an electrician, and the manager paid for it. I then worked my shift, and I realized it was 5:30 PM, so I clocked out of my shift and went home, so I could prepare to go to the Indian restaurant with Ashley. I bought myself some rip-off of Bauvage, for $4 at a flea market earlier. That stuff didn't work, so I threw that cologne in the trash. I then cleaned the tables, fitted a button-up golf shirt, and left the house. The Indian restaurant was not far away, so I just started walking there. The locals in town are always nice, providing me with free food once in a while. As I walk to Abdul's Indian Restaurant, the Uzbekistan restaurant owner smiles and throws a piece of Samarkand bread at my hands, my goodness that bread was so good, I felt like I was flying in the air, and made it to Yellowstone. But anyway, I go to Abdul's Indian Restaurant, a hole-in-the-wall Indian Restaurant in Charleston. Abdul, a WWII veteran who runs the restaurant, greets me and shakes my hand.

"How's it going my friend?", Abdul says.

"It's going great, hey Abdul?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you bring 2 menus, I'm inviting a special lady here tonight."

"Finally my homie got some game"

"HEY EVERYBODY, ROB GOT SOME GAME!"

"Hey, don't tell everybody, I said.", I said laughing. I go sit down at my table, and prepare to order my fresh food soon. But then I saw Ashley, walking toward my table, she had the most beautiful look on her face. She wore a nice sweater, and a nice brunette, and had some nice shoes and makeup on. She waves at me and sits down at my table.

"Hello Robert, it's good to see you here!", Ashley said at the table.

"Thank you, it's good to see you too!", I said as I shook her hand.

"The weather is nice out here", Ashley said.

"I agree, the weather is good, do you want to order a mango lassi?", I said.

"Sure."

Abdul walks over to the dinner table and I ask him for 2 mango lassi for me and Ashley. I order some fresh naan bread to go with that as well. As soon as the naan bread goes to the dinner table, Ashley smiles and excuses herself. I then have a conversation with my homie Abdul and order some samosas as well.

4.5| Ashley's Plan

Ashley runs outside and pulls out her phone.

"Hello?, yes I got some information about Robert."

"Really? What did you get from him?"

"Yes, Robert thinks I'm his future girlfriend when in reality I'm a member of his rival organization."

"HA HA! NICE!, I BET YOU GOT ROB TO SHOW YOU HIS HOUSE ADDRESS BY NOW, THIS DUDE JUST FELL INTO THE RAT TRAP!"

"Yeah, I know. Meet me at the diner at 10 AM tomorrow. This plan will not fail."

"Okay, see you later."

"Okay, goodbye."

Ashley hangs up the phone and walks into Abdul's Indian Restaurant where she walks back to the dinner table to eat.

5|

I come back to the dinner table, and Ashley comes to the dinner table, and the next minute we order our food.

I order the chicken biryani, where I order a couple more samosas. Ashley orders the Paneer Tikka Masala. Abdul takes our menus and me and Ashley start to have a conversation about the news, and the media. All of that crazy stuff that isn't worth talking about in this journal. So anyways, me and her are all smiling, enjoying the greatest Indian food and I know I don't have to brag about it all the time, but that food is excellent. We proceed to eat more food for 2 hours, and we leave. Abdul says thanks and gives us some papadum with that salsa, and we leave the restaurant.

"Well, it was a good time eating with you, Ashley said".

"Well I could say the same thing too", I said.

"Hope we can go out again someday.", Ashley said.

"I hope so too. Well, I should be going to my apartment, see you soon!"

"See you soon", I said as I walked away.

I start walking to my home, where I'm in Charleston. We had a good conversation, and I thought of her statement about going to meet her parents. Now, that didn't sound like a bad idea, but the way she talked, her tone of voice sounded kind of suspicious. I didn't even know much about Ashley, I told her about myself more than she talked about herself. Now I was suspicious. What if she used my information? What if she betrays me?

I sit down to collect my thoughts, where I think in a deep mental state. I think in my mind, was this a good idea to do? I get up and start to walk home. I saw a vending machine, where I paid for a giant bottle of water to drink. I then go to my low-income apartment complex, and I pull up to my studio apartment. I sit near my window and look at the moon in my foldable barbeque cookout chairs that family cookouts have. I then brush my teeth and sit on my couch where I fall asleep an hour later.

6|

It is 6 AM, and I get up out of my bed, my shifts are scheduled for later. I eat my breakfast, sunny side up, get ready, and go outside to take the bus. As soon as I walk outside, the bus is nearing, I get on the bus and use my monthly pass to go to work. The bus driver starts a conversation.

"Yo Rob, how's work!", the bus driver asks.

"Great, I've been working full-time shifts now, and I am thinking about moving to a new apartment soon."

"Really, oh that's too bad. Well congratulations on moving to a new apartment, now you don't have to worry about the slipper snatchers anymore."

"Yeah, I know. But at least I'm going to be able to have a good home, and buy a new TV."

"Congrats, now you won't have that old box TV anymore."

Now I have made it to the bus stop, I thank the bus driver and go to work.

I clock in my shift and eat some pizza while on my shift. A few hours later, someone goes to the store and shoplifts. Luckily I ran out of the store, tied the robber up with some rope, and called the police.

Then I went back to work. I then realized something, some strange things have been happening for the past 2 days already. I still think of the strange thoughts, but then I go back to work. I stock up on some items, but then I hear a car pull up, but the thing is, that this is a self-driving car, and nobody's in the car. The thing is, who would invest in this? But then, I went to the clock in the

manager's room, but a strange noise started playing. I then got a ladder to look in the vent, but all of a sudden, some blue liquid exploded out of the vent. There were a lot of tiny specs in there too. I then realized there was a ton of salt in there, and I was thinking, what is going on? I then went to the door and it was locked. So I stayed in the room, but then I realized that the vent was big enough for me to crawl through, so I went to the drawers and found a screwdriver, and then I opened up the vent and crawled through. I then made it outside the store and opened the door inside the store, and the store was a mess, chip bags were everywhere, and all the food glass was destroyed. All the cigarettes were looted and all the food was stolen. I was scared and I called the cops to notify them about the situation. The cops said they did not know what they could do in this situation. I asked what could it be, and they said that it was probably a goofball who destroyed the store. I felt so horrible, that I just sat down on my chair for more than 1 hour, not doing anything, looking like war happened. After cleaning up for an hour and the peace and silence filling the room, the manager, Mr. Jones arrives. He's worried about the place, thinking something is cursed with his gas station. I felt like I should quit my job, but I told Mr. Jones that he should close up the shop again, in case any intruders broke into the shop again. Mr. Jones closed up the shop and told me to go home for the day, he will investigate this.

I walk home, thinking about who is behind this in the situation. When me and the police looked at the footage of the gas station, no one was on the camera. Maybe it was an evil spirit roaming around the store, but I don't believe in monsters. Maybe it was an earthquake, but there was no earthquake according to the news. I had thought that things were getting more suspicious and cursed over time and as soon as I got home, I got on my family cookout foldable chair and would think about what would happen.

I ate some food and concluded that maybe a drunkard broke into the store and knocked everything down. That alcohol, I always knew that it cursed people. I go and check for the mail, getting some coupons to my favorite restaurants, and fast food restaurants. I clean my room, and sit on the patio for the night, drinking green tea on my patio. I sit on my patio for the night, thinking about what I'm going to do tomorrow.

6.5| Ashley's Plan

Ashley walks into Nero's diner on 12th St in Charleson. While she is drinking some water on the table, a man in a black suit walks into the diner.

"Hello Ashley, is the plan ready?"

"Yes, Rowley. Come right on in."

Rowley walks up to the table and sits down in the dining chair in the restaurant. He and Ashley, members of Scientology, talk about their plan.

"So, did you get any files about Robert?", Rowley said.

"Yes, I did. I started to get into a fake relationship, just to get some information about him.", Ashley said, while putting the file on the table.

"So, what did you get."

"You see, this guy is a massive simp, it's like this guy has been watching memes and politics all day.", Ashley said, so this guy's a freakin' bum, that's something I didn't expect."

"Yeah, but Robert used to be a valedictorian in high school, so the plan could backfire if he uses his intelligence.", Ashley said.

"The dude's intelligent despite living in a cheap studio apartment, come on."

"You never know, this dude is a master at calculus, smarter than Einstein if you ask me.", Ashley says as she drinks her water.

"Oh crap, calculus. It seems like you're in love with the guy Ashley. Do you real to have a gregarious romance with some 22-year-old Mormon punk who drinks green tea all day? We're Scientologists. We're supposed to attack people who are not a part of our faith, we're here to make money and exploit our members.", Rowley said in an aggressive tone.

"No, we're trying to get him out of town, to move to another. We're Scientology, and we're trying to make an authoritarian government, as we did in Wyoming, we have power out here, we have strength. We can make a big difference out here!", Ashley explains.

"That's better. Now where're the certain documents you were going to tell me about.", Rowley said.

"I have them right here", Ashley says as she takes out the suitcase.

"This is Robert Neill, a 22-year-old member of the Church of Latter-Day Saints."

"And this is his friend, Barbara, a 35-year old tall woman, 5 feet 10 inches, 180lbs. Supposedly she is a famous competitive eater who can eat very well and has gotten quite famous in the leagues."

"And lastly, this is John, big league, one of the members of the temples and elected president of the Church of Latter-Day Saints, Born in 1930. Supposedly very healthy and can run for his age, as he is a triathlon competitor as well in his free time. Due to his age, we don't want to assassinate him, but we want to kidnap the president of LDS and put him in one of our prisons in the U.S. He's one of our biggest threats to us.

"Now that plan sounds incredibly insane, but the plan is just enough to be genius. But I have a better plan. A plan that can work well enough for our establishment to grow larger and larger. Meet me at the Church tomorrow morning. We'll be having a big meeting.", Rowley says.

"Okay, I will be there tomorrow. We will meet together in our neighborhood.", Ashley says.

"See you tomorrow, and have a good day," Rowley says.

Ashley and Rowley both shake hands as they leave the diner. Ashley walks away, preparing for her gregarious plan, preparing to happen.

7|

It is a fantastic morning, this time with no fog outside and being sunny outside. I went to the dining table, and while I was eating I thought of something that I'd never done before in my entire life. Go to the gym. And while I had a tall height of 6 foot 4, I only weighed 140 pounds. But I had to wait for my check. So I cleaned my room, and dishes and went to work. This time when I went to work, I felt a little bit athletic today and walked to work. When I went to work and clocked in, I felt more refreshed to go to work, and wanted to help people for once so that's what I did.

Helping people is what made me feel like a good person, helping my state's people. That makes a person feel good by helping his fellow people. So I help a couple of people during my shift and then I go to the office to clock out of my shift. I felt great today. Mr. Jones was happy, out dancing to some jazz tunes, and it was a fun day. I walked home for an hour, despite it being 30 degrees and snowing outside I didn't even care.

I then went to the game center, where I called my friends and played mahjong with them and I won and lost a couple of games. I and my friends George and Barbara started playing karaoke, and obviously, sly our singing was horrendously bad but we were cheering each other on and having a good time. Then we all walked to my apartment, where we started freestyling, making rap songs on the computer to post on the internet. We all high-fived, watched a movie on DVD, then my friends and my studio. Now I sat on my patio, but I heard my neighbor knock on my door. It was Ms. Chang. I told her hello because she bought me some fried rice. I said come on in. As I closed the door, Ms. Chang told me she needed to tell me something.

"Mr. Neill, I need to tell you something.", she said.

"Sure, why don't you take a seat right here.", I asked.

We take a seat at the dining table, where I give Ms. Chang a bottle of water.

"So what do you have to ask about?"

"Mr. Neill, I'm not sure if you know this, but I am also a member of the LDS, and what you said about undercover Scientologist membership?"

"Yes, I used to be an undercover Scientologist, what do you want to know?"

"I want you to know that I've been an undercover member for a couple of years, and I've wanted to tell you that I went to one of their meetings, and a woman and a couple of e men say that they want to assassinate you, Barbara, and the president.", Ms. Chang explains in a quiet tone.

"Oh no, are you sure that's real or are you lying to me?"

"No, I even brought a tape recorder and recorded some audio. The interview lasted for 45 minutes so it will take a while to run."

I said okay, and we ran the tape recording, lasting for a while. While the recorder was playing, I heard a voice so similar, it sounded like a woman that I had known.

"You should leave for today, you're not safe here and they might come to kidnap you.", Ms. Chang said.

"I wish I could, but I don't have any money, and the crime here is rampant in certain areas at night.", I said.

"Do you want to share a room, I know a place for $40 a night."

I accepted the offer that Ms. Chang gave me, knowing that my stay would only cost $20-$25 a night. We got up, left our apartments packed up our clothes, and left. Ms. Chang took her car, and drove to the Clone Hotel in Charleston. We paid the price for a one-night stay, and this hotel was nicer than expected. There was a kitchen, 2 bedrooms a bunch of complimentary drinks, and a casino, but that was a luxury that I could not afford. I watched some TV on the couch and drank a cup of coffee fully black, which was bitter but I was always kind of enthusiastic about bitter drinks. It was 10:30 PM, and it was a Wednesday evening. I turn off the lights, and I fall asleep.

8|

It is 7:30 AM in the hotel, and I'm out here playing dollar slot machines. As I am playing on the casino slot machines. I get a phone call from my landlord. I am very tired, but I call anyway.

"Good morning Gregory, what's going on!", I said enthusiastically.

"Robert, come here right now, something bad happened!", Gregory shouted frighteningly.

I got up from my chair and sounded scared. I told him what had happened, but Gregory told me to go to the apartment complex and get there immediately, it was madness. I told Ms. Chang to get up and get ready, and we headed straight to the apartment complex. We were driving and pulled up to the apartment complex and when we pulled up into the driveway, it looked alright. But then when we got to our apartments, it looked terrible. There were bullet shots all over our apartments, and when I opened the door, I was horrified to see that my apartment was destroyed. There were my lamps being destroyed, my walls ripped, some clothes stolen and they stole my food too, come on get your food! I fell to the ground and cried from seeing my apartment room tarnished into pieces.

At this point I did not want to eat anymore, I was sad and just laid on the floor. Ms. Chang picked me up from the ground and hugged me, seeing my despair of sadness.

"It's not your fault, they did this because of the jealousy that we exist, and that we're not stopping. They are just cowards, who don't know anything better than to scam people."

I thanked Ms. Chang and hugged her. We then sat on the bench of the apartment complex with our landlord Gregory, and just sat there in silence, reminiscing about the sky. It was foggy and cloudy, and we just did not know what to do. We all decided that we were going to pull up to church to see what we could do about it, so we got in Ms. Chang's car and drove to the LDS church.

When we were driving around Charleston, we saw gang wars going on, so we drove as fast as we could. But the thing is, that these people did not wear jerseys, these people wore formal clothes. And that's when I realized that these were the fundamentalist Mormons.

So let me explain Charleston to you. You have your normal Mormons, such as Ms. Chang and me, trying to live our lives and work, and then you have fundamentalist Mormons. These groups are growing substantially in West Virginia, about 5,000 members and they are hypergamous criminals who rob banks and practice the Mormon faith. Their numbers are rising substantially, because these people have office workers and accountants who get paid $200,000 a year and work hard to make them tax-exempt, like 12 hours a day. Continue.

I told Ms. Chang to drive faster because our car was going to get shot up, so she pushed the gas and started driving. We went through the freeway and made it out of there and 5 minutes later we made it to the LDS church. We got out of the car, and we went to see Pastor Smith. Pastor Smith walked up to us and started talking.

"What are you guys doing here?", Pastor Smith said.

"Our house got destroyed and they're looking for us right now!", I said loudly.

"Quiet, okay go inside the basement. Some members and I are hiding in there because Scientology is looking for us."

All four of us started running in the basement, and more members started running towards the basement. As soon as all the members were in the basement, Pastor Smith locked the basement door, and we sat in the basement for a few hours, watching the news for some information. The news reporter in the news station started talking.

"Breaking news, a crazy incident between The Charleston Fundamentalist Mormon organization and Scientology, have all started a war against each other. With The Fundamentalists defending their gang territory on their farm and Scientology attacking it. This crap is just straight out of a movie. You know what, I don't care if Scientology attacks me, or silences me for my Mormon beliefs. "SCIENTOLOGY IS A CULT AND THE REASON THEY ARE ATTACKING WEST VIRGINIA IS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GOVERNMENT AND TO MAKE IT AUTHORITARIAN! SCIENTOLOGY HAS WORKED WITH THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY AND HAS ST-"

All of our faces were in an emotionless state. The famous reporter, Anna Ube has been assassinated.

Then a Scientology extremist walks to the news camera.

"Scientology is the most popular religion, and I will do what I can to spread the word. e5fmu, out!", the Scientologist extremist says to the state of West Virginia. He walks out the door and leaves, and the TV goes to no signal and Pastor Smith turns off the TV. He turns on a lightbulb and prepares his speech.

"Okay, members! I have come to say something! This is not right, we Mormons are being persecuted for our religious beliefs. This is wrong, and an injustice to America and our government. Soon, possibly there will be house churches like they have in China for Christians, but this time it will be for all religions! Scientology hates all of us, and ever since they have started going into politics they have taken over Wyoming, and now they are taking over here because of their power! We will win and all of us West Virginia citizens should team up and fight against this evil and injustice, despite our beliefs. Do this for God!, for America!". Everyone cheered and celebrated.

"Now, call your buddies, and I don't care what religion they are, call them and we will be true American patriots and save our country once and for all!" People started cheering and calling their friends and family. I decided to call my parents up, and it felt crazy. I haven't talked to my parents in so long, but they already wanted me home.

"Mom, Dad, how are you?", I said.

"Not so good son, we want to see you." my parents replied.

"Mom, Dad, I want to see you too."

"We've been wanting to hear that sentence for 4 years. I'm sorry we didn't let you live your childhood."

"You're forgiven, no matter how many times you say sorry, I forgive you, Mom and Dad," I said calmly.

My parents started crying from their stress and I got them to calm down.

"Mom, Dad, do you know about the persecution of all religions right now?"

"Yes son, our neighbor's houses have been destroyed by Scientology and only 1 neighbor has survived, she is living with us right now.", my father said.

"Mom, Dad, can I tell you something?"

"What son, you can tell us anything", Mom said.

"Since our government won't do anything about the Scientologists, will you join the war with us to fight them?"

"I don't think I can son, I don't think I want to fight in a war."

"I'll go."

"But Dad, you're 64 years old."

"Son, I may have had you at an old age, but you're still my son, and as a family, we have to fight for our nation."

"Dad, let me call the taxi service, I think there's one for Scientologists, so dress up and pretend to act like one when you get into the taxi."

"Okay son, let me get ready.", my dad said.

I walked outside of the basement and hid behind the chairs in the sermon room. I ran outside and found some Protestants walking outside our building. "Uh, is this the building for the LDS, " the man said.

"Yes, come on in.", I said.

"We forgot to tell you that we are loaded.", the man said.

I didn't know what he meant until he came with a bunch of canned foods and weapons to protect ourselves in this war.

"This cost us a lot of money, but who cares if this puts us in debt, we are here to save our country and God tells us to protect our family, and we all are family, despite our different beliefs, and that is what we are here for.", the man said.

Pastor Smith got up and said, what is all this? The man said, "It's good to see you Tom, we are helping each other out during these tough times."

"It's good to see you too. Smith, all of a sudden Scientology, said they were going to commit war, we didn't believe it, but they did it anyway. ", Tom said.

As they are talking, I sit down in the building, quiet and hungry, waiting to go home.

Ashley is walking around the Scientology building and is about to prepare a speech with thousands of people, but she grabs a bottle of water and sits down with a blank emotion on her face, then she starts crying. Rowley walks up to her and starts talking.

"Ashley, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"I just can't, I can't lead this rally. This is too difficult for me."

"Yes you can Ashley, nothing is impossible without you, L. Ron Hubbard needs you, Brant Rardone needs you to do this speech. We have to show people the truth of Scientology, we have to keep Scientology at the highest religious level in the United States, and war is what we can depend on. We have taken some cities of West Virginia. Why don't we conquer all of it.", Rowley says in a determined tone.

"I, I just can't, this is wrong!", Ashley says while crying.

"You know, there are people in this world that are absolute scum in our society, people that we don't want to be around." "Barbara, John Smith, now he's a person that we don't lead, running the LDS, the biggest cult in the world."

"No, No", Ashley said.

"And what about that Robert guy you be hanging around with hmm? seems like a lot of suspicion to me!"

Ashley is about to be in a panic and falls out of her chair.

"You know, I would think that Mormons were originally good, but then I realized they were a bunch of kooks who believe in magic underwear, and you're hanging out with that Robert guy more often than usual? What a useless price-"

"I love Robert!" Ashley yelled out loud.

Rowley starts rubbing his forehead in a frustrated tone, angry at her.

"You're in love with this prick! I knew it, I knew it, I had my suspicions on you, you traitor! At worst, I thought you loved those watermelon munchers, I thought you were a snow bunny, girl and you ruined it worse you kook, with a f*ckin Mormon!", Rowley said enraging.

"I had my doubts about this organization!,I bet you people traffic people and kids you morons!",

Ashley said.

"We do not, we are intelligent gangsters, not crazy ones, you buffoon!", Rowley said.

Ashley can't stop her mental breakdown, she starts having a maniacal breakdown, She knocks out Rowley in one punch, and prepares a war speech during her mental breakdown. Ashley sits next to the stage, where leader Joseph Cassidy, speaks about the West Virginia takeover.

"Fellow Scientologists, it is time. The time to take over West Virginia, the Sea Org is about to use its military skills again. We have to do what has to be done, to make Scientology the biggest religion, THE ORGANIZATION. We have used the money, and Jamman has asked us to go to war in this rural area, and we have armor and weapons. War will start in 2 days. We have rented hotels in the city all for you. The war will commence. Eat good because it might be your last day in the war. Jamman!

Everyone did the salute to Jamman, a patriot salute, and then everybody started cheering. Ashley then runs outside, where everyone is leaving the convention center on buses. Ashley ran away from the city and hid in an Italian restaurant. She finds out she's safe and runs away home. She goes into her house grabs a rifle and hides under the bed. It is light outside, and she knows bad is about to happen.

It is 5 PM, on a Wednesday when the Scientologists planned their genocide of other religions. I run out of the basement, where I see some Scientologists around our church. But then I realize something is wrong, they start calling out their buddies and start breaking into each house in the neighborhood. I accidentally left out of the back door, and a Scientologist saw me. He pulled a gun on me, but that failed. I survived and he died because of self-defense. I walked back outside and started hunting Scientologists for an hour and ran back inside. I was using the Scientologists as concrete bags to protect the LDS building, and I went back to the basement to see what news we caught up with.

"Breaking News, the big 3 religions, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism have united to protect their home, which is West Virginia. They are proud West Virginians, who are proud to protect their state. Sources say that they have bought all the food out at every grocery store to eat, so Scientologists might not have a chance to win the war. If you see one of their churches, they are taking enlistments. Good luck out there, and may God save you.

"We have to call them up to unite.", I told Pastor Smith.

"But that would be difficult, they might have no connection.", Pastor Smith says.

"But they might help us with Armour, they have the resources that we can't afford, use a payphone."

"Quick, does anybody have some quarters?", Pastor Smith said.

Someone gave Pastor Smith a quarter and he answered the LDS. They don't give a response.

"Ah crap, no one's answering, that's too bad, they are so greedy that they don't even want to help their people.", Pastor Smith said.

"I know, that's freakin' whack!", Jonathan said.

"Yes, yes, maybe someone can help us.", Smith said.

We then waited 30 minutes for someone to arrive. Then, all of a sudden, some Orthodox Jews pulled up into the church and said, we heard you need some help, so we brought some weaponry to help you out. They gave us some armor, and more weapons and were very nice helping us. They brought in a tank to fight this war. So, they told some of the members to hop on, and that Rabbi Joe would move the tank around. At this point, the U.S. government was not getting involved with this war since this war had been going on since 6 PM, andit has been already 13 hours since the war had begun. I sat down in my chair and wondered what we were going to do and at 8 PM, Pastor Smith came up and asked if the plan was ready.

"What's up, Robert? Is something going through your mind? I know this is tough, but you gotta have faith and never give up because we Americans must protect God's land!"

"Pastor Smith, I'm ready to go to combat.", I said.

"Are you sure? This is a tough decision.", Pastor Smith said.

"Yes, I am ready.", I said.

"Okay, Jonathan and Rabbi Joe, we're ready, set everything up, let's go let's go!", Pastor Smith said.

10 minutes later we were all ready to go, and the battle began. Let's go.

9.5| Ashley's Hideout

I hide under my bed, loaded with a rifle. I hear the door open though, and I stay quiet. As I slowly move my eyes, I hear cabinets in the kitchen open, and I turn on my flashlight. I slowly crawl out of my bed and get up from the floor, but as soon as I hear footsteps walking, I hide near the doorway. I turn on the flashlight and tape it to the rifle. As soon as I run to the bathroom, where nothing is there except some soap. But I get the urge that I am hungry. So I walk to the kitchen, and all of a sudden, I get chokehold by Rowley.

Ashley starts screaming in the kitchen, after being in a chokehold by Rowley.

"Shut up, shut the frick up!", Rowley said holding a pistol to Ashley while she is in a chokehold, dropping her weapon to the ground.

"Let me go, Let me go!", Ashley said kicking the chair.

Rowley tapes Ashley's hands cuffs her feet to the ground and shoots the wall.

"Ashley, first shut the f*ck up, second, why did you leave us, I thought we were a team, and THIRD, WHY DID YOU DATE A MORMON, ARE THE ENEMIES TO SCIENTOLOGY, AND AMERICA YOU BUM!

"I don't know Rowley, Robert is a nice person, he is a better person than all of you Scientologists.", Ashley says.

"Sorry Ashley, this is what Jamman wants, and I must do this to protect the values of Scientology and America. Our country is falling apart, interracial marriage is legal, and you can't make monopolies anymore. We must be a tax-free nation because taxes are theft and taxes are extortion. Now come with me, we are taking you to the "church".", Rowley says.

Rowley knocks Ashley out and puts her in the back of the trunk of his dumpy car, and drives away from Ashley's neighborhood. Rowley is in his car and gets a call on his phone.

"Hello? Yes, the job is done, should I head out to the military base? Okay, I'll be there right now, meet me in 15 minutes.

Rowley drives to the freeway leaves the city and heads to Charleston.

10|

Me and the members of our church started walking. We are walking to the fields of Charleston, which is 1 mile. We have to sneak around houses in groups of 3, and we keep hiding. We attack Scientology members, and we leave the area. As we are attacking Scientology members like a tunnel rat in Vietnam, we see the other religious groups attacking members fast, like it's WWII. After 2 hours of fighting through Scientologists in combat, we made it through the base. Ms. Chang and Pastor Smith survived, but we lost about 10 members in combat, 90 members are still alive. We made it to the military base, which was a field in Charleston and some members came on tanks and horses. People died, and some people are still fighting with military hats and lost their pinkie finger in combat. We drink some water and eat some beef ravioli. As we are preparing to fight, the Scientologists arrive in cars, tanks, horses and some even walking. We go, and I realize this whole time that the police have not arrested anyone, possibly very few members this whole time. When I am standing on the tank, I see a person. That person looks way too familiar to see, but then I realize something. Oh no. That woman standing on the horse was none other than that girl Ashley. I am in shock and get kind of sad. War has not started yet, because their leader has not commanded them to fight yet. We wait for now.

10.5|

As Rowley is driving in his car, Ashley starts screaming in the car. He yells, "Shut up woman!", and keeps driving on the road. He pulls up to the gas station and orders a banana and soda pop to drink. Rowley drives around town, smiling and reminiscing about the sky. About 5 minutes later, he pulls up to the "Church" of Scientology. He takes Ashley out of the car, and they both go into the elevator. As they are going up, they start talking.

"Where are we going?", Ashley said.

"We are going to meet Joseph Cassidy.", Rowley said.

"The leader, no I can't go there, he hates me!", Ashley said.

"Well that's too bad, we have to go to his penthouse at the "church", I have to meet him.", Rowley said.

Rowley and Ashley finally make it to the elevator, and get to the penthouse at the "church" where Joseph Cassidy lives. Rowley knocks on the door, and Joseph opens the door.

"Hey, Rowley, how's your day going today!", Joseph said.

"Not bad Cassidy, not bad! Me and Ashley are just meeting up with you to start the war.", Rowley said.

"Oh, you need preparations for the war? Hold on, let me get my microphone." Cassidy says.

"Hello Scientologists, this is Joseph Cassidy, your leader. Right now you are with every other religious group and every person who has betrayed Jamman. You must fight with all your might to win this war, for America. May the war commence, now!"

"Joseph, that was unimaginable. Great.", Rowley says.

"Cassidy, are you going to the war, you're leading this."

"Rowley, I am not going out to the war. I am going to another state to spread the word, and build another "church".", Joseph says.

"Joseph, you're leaving West Virginia, after this war? All these people are fighting right now and you're going to Vegas! Come on!"

"Yeah, I'm sorry, I gotta go, I have to spread the word."

Joseph walks into the window and realizes the cops are here.

"Oh, crap! the cops are here! I gotta run!", Joseph said.

Joseph runs down the stairs, and runs down the stairs, and hides.

"Cassidy, you get back here! I ain't letting you go!", Rowley said while he and Ashley chased him.

Rowley opens the door, and he and Ashley run down the stairs, Rowley pulls out his pistol, and runs down the stairs, where he hears the elevator moving, hearing talking.

"The feds are here, I ain't going to jail", Rowley says as he puts water on the stairs. He and Ashley finally get to the parking lot, and see Cassidy running through the parking lot.

"Joseph, you get back here! I ain't done with you, you're leaving us you frickin' fatherless freak!", Rowley gets angry and pulls his weapon in the air.

"I had trust in you Cassidy, you were a great leader, I trusted you! And now, you have nowhere to go." But as soon as Rowley is about to shoot, Ashley punches him in the stomach and is getting away, but as soon as Rowley points the M911 to Ashley, Joseph Cassidy has already run away and Rowley is in a rage.

"Sh*t", Rowley says.

Rowley puts Ashley in the car and drives to the war base, where the police are chasing him and he dodges them. He successfully gets away, and makes it to the war base through an underground tunnel. Ashley stays quiet for this one, for she already got kidnapped twice in a day. Rowley gets to the war base, which is a giant field in Charleston, and gets Ashley out of the car.

"When we get out of this car, you better get on the horse and announce your speech, we must win this fight for Jamman." Ashley abides by Rowley's command, and she gets on the horse and prepares to make her speech.

11|

"The war speech is about to begin, Ms. Chang, let's hear it.", I said.

"Good afternoon you buffoons. It is me, Ashley Murphy. Today, is a day of takeover, a war that is about to begin. The Scientologists will win their land, and take over the state for Jamman, so we can spread the word. We will win, and we will fight! Let's go!"

"As Christians, Jews, and Mormons United, we will win, and fight for America! We will have our nation protected, and we stand before God! LET'S GO!"

And without a second, the Scientologists started attacking, starting the war. We were all riding on horses and tanks, it was nuts. I stood up on the hill and hid, sniping Scientologists for attacking other religions and committing genocide across West Virginia, even rural areas. After 10 minutes of sniping, a Sea Org member started chasing after me, and I beat him up with my hands, knocking him out. I walked and started fighting again, using my rifle and taking out Scientologists and members from the Org. But then I saw someone, I saw Rabbi Joe fighting all the members, sitting on a spinning chair on the tank, shooting his rifle and, attacking all the Scientology members. It was a total badass. But then I ran and hid again, wearing my gas mask because a Scientology member threw gas at me, so I threw stink bombs at the members, so it could distract them for a bit in the war. Then as I was hiding, I saw someone in pain. It was Pastor Smith, and I ran up to him to help him out. I put some bandaids on Smith, but then he started to say something.

"Robert, don't put any band-aids on me, I am already in immense pain, and I know that I am not going to make it.", Pastor Smith said.

"Pastor Smith, have some faith in God! He is going to help you make it out alive.", I said.

But Pastor Smith just was in too much pain to say anything. So I ran to a hill, where no one could see Pastor Smith, and I told him to stay here. But then, someone saw me, and I ran. But I had nowhere to go, but then I found a cave to where I ran into. I ran into the cave, where it was cold and dark. I walked in there for a while, not knowing where I was going. I pulled out my flashlight and walked into the dark cave for about 30 minutes. No one was there to my surprise, but then I saw a person. It was a woman, and turned on my flashlight. I could tell she was in pain badly. I decided to walk up to her and I realized it was Ashley. She had no bulletproof vest on, and I could tell she had some bullets in her. She was coughing up blood, and groaning.

"Hello, who are you?", Ashley said.

"It is me, Robert. I can tell you are in pain badly.", I said.

"Robert, I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was a member, I took it too far. It was meant to go like this, but I regret it now."

"Ashley, I forgive you. I didn't know you were a member, and I didn't know you were a perpetrator of this battle", I said.

"Yes, I know," Ashley said sadly.

I walked to the wall of the cave, where I sat down and had clarity in my mind, feeling depressed. I felt as if I didn't want to go back to society anymore.

"Robert, I want to tell you something.", Ashley said.

"What is it?", I said to Ashley in a monotone voice.

"I thought I would never be able to tell you this but I love you.", Ashley says.

"What?"

"I love you, Robert! I was always a member of Scientology but when I met you, you made me feel as if I was a person!", Ashley said.

"You know what Ashley, I loved you too. I had a big crush on you.", I said to Ashley.

"Really?", Ashley said.

"Yes.", I said.

I went to Ashley and hugged her, but then we kissed. We kissed for a good five minutes, and I was happy.

"That was nice."

"It was.", I said.

"Here, I want you to take this.", Ashley said.

Ashley opens the pocket of her jacket and gives me boxes of syringes and a first aid kit.

"Are you sure you want me to take this, you won't survive."

"I know, I must face the consequences of what I have done. Leave me here.", Ashley said.

"Are you sure this is what you want?"

"Yes, I must rest. Thank you for everything.", Ashley said.

I cried in her arms and cursed at the wall. But this time I felt motivated to go back. To come back stronger. So that's exactly what I did. I told her goodbye and walked away.

I left the war base and told our troops that we were returning stronger and better. I started fighting again, attacking Scientologists one by one. I attacked them and used rifles like it was WWII, and it was as bad as D-Day for Sea Org. We fought for about 3 hours, and Rabbi Joe said he was still going strong, hiding in the tank at times and still fighting. I went to check on Pastor Smith, and surprisingly, he was still alive but in pain really bad. I injected him with medicine and hid him with a boulder so no one could see him. I then went back to the war base and started to fight again, it was so bloody it was insane. Horses were injured, and Scientologists were murked so badly.

As I was fighting, grenades exploding I heard a megaphone. About a couple hundred Scientologists walk up and one member talks on a horse.

"Hello, Christians, Jews, and Mormons. I wanted to say that we lost and that we didn't know how powerful you were. You taught me a lesson, and I just wanted to say that we surrender. Thank you.", the man said.

The man got off his horse and walked away, and all the other Scientology members left too. They all went to the parking lot, and got on the ground with their hands on their back, waiting for the police to come arrest them. We celebrated that we were safe and that tyranny would not take over. It is 7 in the morning, and it is a Thursday. The cops came, and we all turned ourselves in, aware of the consequences of fighting for our freedom and religion.

I went to the police station, to holding with about 50 people in one cell. We talked about God, but everyone was traumatized by the war. I sat in my cell tired, and we were called to eat. We ate some ground beef and some apples, and I was so hungry we had no rations during the war. But then all of a sudden, after I was done eating dinner, I was so tired that I was knocked out on the table. I slept there for about 7 hours and then I was taken to the hospital for injuries, and I got some bullets taken out of me, and I got my stomach and arm stitched up. There were so many people in the hospital, that Pastor Jeff somehow survived and got his finger sewn on. I was there for a couple of days, and I got to see a nice pharmacist. She was really beautiful, with blonde hair, and was a very polite person overall. Made me happy. Pastor Jeff was healed 2 weeks later, and I was healed on the same day as well. I went back to holding, where I played some cards with some friends. I was in my cell, and then a month passed, and the police guards let us all out after interrogations, saying that the POTUS had postponed our trials. I was put on house arrest and was back to my apartment, which was repaired a little. I sat on the couch, and a couple of minutes later, my door knocked and I opened it to see Mr. Jones there. I let Mr. Jones in and we repaired the AC and we watched some TV, and we talked about life.

"Mr. Jones, I am kind of tired of living the urban lifestyle, I am kind of frightened of living here. I want to go to a place where there is peace, and maybe where God will protect me.", I said.

"Oh, so you're talking about being a monk?"

"Yes."

"They do have places like that, they're called orthodox monasteries, I know one that's in Monongahela.", Mr. Jones said.

"What's Monongahela?", I said.

"It's a forest in West Virginia, there's a monastery there I used to be a part of for 24 years, you will enjoy it.", Mr. Jones said.

"That sounds great. Can you drive me there after my trial or sentence?"

"Yes, I can. May God Bless You and repent you of your sins. God forgives you and I hope you live a godly lifestyle in Jesus' Name, Amen.", Mr. Jones says.

"Thank you for your help.", I said.

3 months later I went to court, and I testified my story, a story of fighting for our state and our honor. I recalled the events of losing Ashley, and how Scientology traumatized the rest of West Virginia. The judge seemed to be very stern but was incredibly respectful to me.

"Mr. Neill, how do you plead.". He said.

"Guilty.", I said.

"As the court of Charleston on September 20, 2004, I charge Mr. Robert Neill, as guilty. However, I sentence him to 10 years of probation, and 500 hours of community service. Robert, you are dismissed.", the judge said.

I felt relieved, that I was freed for fighting for my freedom. The ankle monitor was taken off my ankle, and I was free. I took a taxi home, packed my clothes, and left the apartment. I shook my landlord Gregory's hand, and I went off to leave for Monongahela. I shook Mr. Jones's hand and told him I quit and that I was going to become an orthodox monk. He respected my decision and I left in a taxi there, ready to live a quiet life.

12| Joseph Cassidy's Arrest and Trial

Joseph Cassidy is walking into his room.

I moved to the forest in North Dakota because there was a lot of police suspicion. I have been eating deer for the past year now. I have disappeared from Scientology. I was too scared to go to jail, so I betrayed my gang. I open the door to my cabin, and I see the park ranger arrive. I told him how is his day, and he said that I looked a little suspicious. I felt bad, so I told him that I was Joseph Cassidy, the infamous leader of the Scientology organization. This park ranger was very nice and told me that I should turn myself in. I told him I couldn't, that it would be too hard of a decision to make. There were no cars in the park, and the park ranger said there would be no way he would be willing to walk 50 miles to civilization to arrest me. So he left the park, and I felt sad. I went to the river and caught some fish and cooked it, and went to my cabin and turned on the fireplace in my house. I got an athlete's foot, and I was angry that I was getting sick all the time, so I went and kicked the wall. And I realized, that maybe going to jail was the right thing to do, because I would die sooner out here and I had no healthy resources, I had to eat rotten food all the time. So I told myself that I was going to call the cops and turn myself in tomorrow. It is July 30 now, and I get up from my bed. I showered in the river head to the tavern and told them that I needed to use their phone. I told them that I was going to turn myself in. The cops came about 2 hours later, arrested me, and scattered around the tavern and my cabin for stuff to find. They found out that nothing was there and that I had thrown away my weapons a while ago. I was put in the car and was driven to the closest police station in West Virginia. I was booked in and put into holding. I then was put into an interrogation room and told the cops my story.

"Joseph Cassidy, you turned yourself in, honestly I'm impressed. I thought we would never find you.", the officer said.

"Yes, I honestly got tired of living and getting diseases all the time, I kept getting sick."

"Well you will get sick in prison too, so let's get started talking. What's happened.", the police officer says."

"Well as you know, I lead the Scientology genocide to take over the state of West Virginia, just as we did in Wyoming. But it failed."

"Any people who worked with you?"

"Pretty much every Scientologist I worked with fought in the war. I just betrayed every member."

"Any other big leads who were a part of this?"

"I knew a man named Rowley Swanson, but from the news he is already paroled last month, he got a plea deal for his perpetration in the Scientology genocide. It's been 3 years.", Joseph said.

"Well, you might have gotten him arrested again, but dang I didn't know that he accepted a plea deal!"

"I know right, he's crazy!"

"But you have gone after Christians, Jews and Mormons because you believe in the thought of Jamman, is that correct?", the police officer said.

"It wasn't me officer, I manipulated them."

"How, you're a member of Scientology."

"I only used Scientology as a way of population control, and a way to manipulate people into believing an alien named Jamman. The other leader, Robert Smith when he got arrested for misconduct on women gave me leadership in 1999. I was leader for 5 years and manipulated people into Scientology. I was so successful, the organization got 1 million members. We were able to get segregation legal in Wyoming for 2 years, which is a big deal for us Scientologists. But then I got greedy, and I wanted West Virginia, and now here we are."

"So you're telling me, that your organization was used to ploy a war against the states to make segregation legal again?

"Yes. Because we have to make America Scientologist Again officer. The Mormons are out here buying all of our land because of the government and here we are out here only 10% of their net worth. This is a national scam, and Scientology rose a few years rapidly because of it, and the news was manipulated, and never knew the real truth because of it!", Joseph said.

"Wow. That is insane. So you wanted a segregationist America, and to get Mormons out of America."

"Mormons, are the worst thing to come of society. They think you can become a god, which is impossible."

"Alright. So Joseph, do you want a lawyer."

"No, I will represent myself in court."

"Joseph, you need a lawyer to represent you in court, it is a requirement of the 6th Amendment."

"Fine. Get me Rick Heffley. Greatest lawyer of West Virginia."

"But you don't have any money."

"I do. Go to my abandoned mansion in Belarus and go get it. Here is the address. "20725 Polk Ave, Brest Oblast, Belarus."

"I have some cash there."

"How much?"

"2 million dollars in a vault."

"Ok."

"Officers, call the Belarus foreign embassy, and tell them to go to Joseph Cassidy's mansion to go and retrieve the money it should be there! I'll talk to you tomorrow Joseph."

And I sat there in the interrogation room for about an hour. Then I was sent to my holding cell, where I would be there before my trial. As I sat there reading some Aesop's fables, I put down the book and felt bad about what I did. I felt as if I harmed a society of people in Charleston, who did no wrong to each other. Because in West Virginia, the people have gone atheist because of my war. Because of my problems, they felt unsafe because of me. I walked to the bed of my cell, and cried for hours straight. I never felt so horrible in my entire life and I knew that I had no morals in my life. I never forgave people, and that left me with a bitter soul in my life. I complained about being poor all the time as a child, and I should have been grateful for my mother cooking spaghetti a couple times a week, or my family making me help the homeless and people in poverty, I should have been grateful despite me being in poverty as well.

I was so sad that I was going to end it once and for all, but I was too scared that I dropped the act and and went to bed to think about my actions tomorrow.

It is August 1st, 2006. I wake up from my bed and head to my chair. I sit in the chair, waiting. I think in my head and realize that I have been staring at the wall for 30 minutes. The officer opened my door and told me that it was time to head to the commissary and the yard. We had this mashed potatoes with ground beef, seems like the lunch lady didn't cut the roots off of the potatoes. I walked to the table ate the root potatoes, put my head down on the table, and cried. The inmate said that he was going to take my lunch, and I told him to go right ahead. I stayed there for a while, but I left to go to the yard. I sat down and saw the beautiful sun in the front of the yard. It was nice and warm outside, something I hadn't seen outside in 2 years. It was so warm, that I fell asleep outside. A few hours later, I was woken up by a police officer and was taken into the interrogation room once again. I told him there wasn't much information he could get from me since I hadn't remembered much in years. But I told them about Qua Chang, one of my members who planned the master plan for the war. She said she was undercover and was going along with the plan. The cops said that she was already sentenced and was getting out soon. I was surprised, but I had no information left to tell. I told the officer, and he sent me to my cell. I opened a book on the laws of power, in which I learned how to manipulate criminals. But I put the book on my table and reminisced about my childhood. I realized that what happened in Belarus was the childhood I enjoyed and that I was living this Scientology reality that had gone too far. I would never live the same again, and I sat in the chair and read The Great Gatsby, not a bad book to read, very well done story, (the writer says that's false). But I went to bed, and waited.

September 22, 2007

It is now 2007. The police get me up from my bed, and give me a black suit so I can go to Charleston. I got dressed, and saw Charleston for the first time since 2004, still very foggy and boring. I got in the police car, and we drove 30 minutes to the courthouse. I walked inside the courthouse and drank some water, way more refreshing than the holding cell water, that stuff made me lose weight. But I get into a room, where I meet my lawyer Rick Heffley. I get into the chair and Rick starts tell me instructions. He tells me to be quiet in court and to not talk because it will only result in me getting the death penalty. I agree and will only talk when I have to in court. I sit in the room, and read a newspaper on Charleston, to find out that Ms. Chang got released yesterday. I put the newspaper down, and I feel a little bit queasy before I go into the courtroom. Rick asks me what's wrong, and I told him that I feel queasy, scared from going on trial to court. He told me to get over it, because I am most likely to get a life without parole sentence anyway. I said I feel like I am going to have a heart attack. Rick tells me to plead guilty, because I will get a life sentence instead of the death penalty.

"I need water, get me a water!", I said in pain.

"Ok! Officer, get the defendant some water.", Rick yelled.

The officer comes and gets me my water. I end up feeling less nervous and get up from the table.

"I feel much better now."

"That's good. Now, let's get started with the trial.", Rick said.

We wait 10 minutes, then we walk into the courtroom to start the trial. The judge tells me to sit in the defendant's chair before we start. I sit down and look behind, only to see hundreds of people sitting down in the courtroom, with some of them having a very angry look on their faces, looking at me saying that I should be ashamed of myself, which I already am.

I look back to the front of the courtroom, to which I see the stenographer and see the judge and the grand jury walk up to the courtroom for this case. The judge opens up with the following words:

"Order in the court! Order in the court! Now, are we all settled?", the judge says.

"Ok, let's start this case. The defendant of this trial is Joseph Cassidy vs. The State of West Virginia. Now Joseph, you are facing the death penalty on a charge of crimes against humanity and 800,000 counts of first-degree murder, and 20 charges of tax fraud, 100 counts of human trafficking, 100 counts of armed robbery totaling 16 million dollars, and 10 counts of fraud, how do you plead?"

"Well judge, let's look at Mr. Cassidy's case your honor, certainly this case has to come from a source of mental illness, you see. He planned the attack and takeover of an entire state, the 800,000 threshold won't be back for at least 75 years."

"No, that's a bunch of malarkey, he literally admitted that this was a plan to murder 3 religions, Mormons, Christians and Jews because he thinks their beliefs are horrible, what more can you get from that he is a genocidal maniac!", Officer Ross said.

"Order! Now Rick, he might be sick in the head, and he might have problems, but Officer Ross is right. Now Officer Ross, you must talk politely in the courtroom, I don't like people who are impolite and talk rude in the courtroom!"

"I'm sorry judge, I won't talk like that again.", Officer Ross said.

"Thank you. Now Joseph, I have looked into your history and I have to say that I am very surprised. You used to be a Secretary of California in 1987-1991, I have some friends in the court of law in California, and they say that you were a very polite man and were very impressed with how you did your job. What happened?", Judge Thompson said.

"Well your honor, I used politics as an upper to garner my attention to fame. I always had problems, and I had ways to get in these organizations so I could gain power to commit war crimes in the world. I used Scientology as a way to take over Wyoming, and possibly the United States, and now I doubted it at first, but as soon as we took over Wyoming and made it into an anarchist autonomous zone, my ego boosted through the roof. I thought that I was better than everyone around me and that I was going to take over the United States. So I went for a bigger state, West Virginia.", Joseph said.

"Wow, that story is crazy. I thought you did this because you were Scientology and that you were the best religion in the world.", the judge said.

"Scientology is a scam and I know it. I used it and wrote stories in it to create wars and terrorist attacks and it worked for a while. I used it for my own power, do you think that I believe in Emu and all of these characters? No! Emu is a science fiction character, he is not a real character."

"So you don't believe in Scientology, you just used it to gain power."

"Yes!"

"Okay. That evidence will be used against you in court, you know that correct?", the judge said.

"Yes I do, and I am aware of what I am saying.", Joseph said.

I felt a sense of nervousness in the court, all the people around me in the courtroom were angry, and most of these people were Scientologists who got out of prison not too long ago.

"Well okay, Joseph. Jury, what do you think of Joseph Cassidy?"

"Your Honor, we believe that Joseph Cassidy is guilty."

"Me too. I believe Joseph Cassidy is guilty too your honor."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

And now I see all of the people on jury duty, labeling me as guilty in the courtroom, the sense of nervousness getting more scary, I breathe very loudly, and my lawyer Rick tells me to calm down.

"As of September 22, 2007, all evidence gathered up, the grand jury voting. How do you plead Joseph?"

I am so nervous, that I can't even comprehend what to say, but here I go.

"GUILTY!"

"As of the courtroom agreeing with the opinion, I charge Joseph Cassidy as guilty and sentence him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. May God have mercy on your soul and you repent of your sins.

I sat in my chair, all of a sudden relieved. I knew that I was going to a place where I might not die of the cold. I got up and said thank you. The cops got me up to my chair and we started walking. While we were walking, they were talking about getting a steak from the steakhouse after they send me to prison.

We head to the commissary, and all of a sudden, the smoke alarm went off and we heard a bomb explode in the building. It started to smell bad, and the cops told me to go hide under the table. It was hard to see, but I hid under a water fountain I could not see when the smoke was all over the building. Then I heard some gunshots enter the building, firing in the building. Some doors were open, and I could hear a voice. It sounded like Rowley's voice, coming for revenge after he realized that I scammed him out of Scientology. I was hiding, then I heard water pour into the building, It was cold water as well and it was freezing, feeling as if it was 20 degrees. Rowley was walking in the courtroom, yelling "Where are you Joseph!", and hearing his gang of former Scientologists yell and firing up the courthouse.

"Joseph, we gotta get out of here!", Officer Craig said.

"I know, this is a really bad situation! We need to find a place to hide, they are about to get us!", I said.

Me and Officer Craig, decided that it was a safe decision to run to the printer office. But as we were running into the office, Rowley ran into the office and started firing. We were walking, but then I heard Officer Craig get hurt, I dragged Officer Craig and told him that he was going to be alright, but he died. I had to run still so I took his pistol to use as self-defense from Rowley and his members. I hid inside the receptionist desk. I could hear people breathing in pain, but I knew that I could not help them, I had no medicine and getting through the fight between Rowley and his members of ex-scientologists would take too long to fend off them.

I decided that I was going to save some people while fighting off the gang. I ran, and I saw a janitor and I hid him under the desk, and I saw a defense attorney and advised her to hide too. I walked around, and saw some members and yelled, Beets and Radishes ready! I covered behind a table, and went to war with the people who went to the former organization that I worked with. Members were walking to the tables and I just kept firing. It was a painful thing to have to attack my members in combat, but this is what I had to do to protect the judges and government workers to protect a country that I wasn't born in. I cared for those employees, and I felt bad for them having to die because of my mistake.

After fending all the members of Rowley's gang, I saved about 22 people in the attack. But then I saw Rowley, and he started talking.

"Joseph, I knew this was your trial and I came here to do one job. Assassinate the leader of a cult that betrayed us, and scammed us for money. How can you do this to us, we trusted you!", Rowley said.

"I'm sorry Rowley, I did scam you."

"Well at least you're honest about what you are saying I'll give you that, but do you know how many people you have hurt? People have lost their jobs because of you and they are out to get you! We are mad at you and you have to go."

Joseph points his pistol in the air, but the trigger does not fire. Rowley walks up and knocks the pistol out of Joseph's hand.

"Please Rowley, you don't have to do this!", Joseph said.

"It's too late Joseph. This is the end and you must face the consequences for your actions."

"No!"

But all of a sudden, Joseph does not get shot at all. A man appears and Rowley falls to the ground, and the man puts his weapon on the ground.

"Who are you?", Joseph said.

"I'm here to save you. You took my dad, my friends, and my crush but I forgive you for your actions."

"Who?"

The man takes off his mask.

"Repent for your sins."

The man walks away, leaving Joseph in shock.

Joseph gets up, and walks around the courthouse for cops to arrest him. But then he sees that he is in the middle of nowhere. No cops are there to take him, the building is smoking all up and Joseph doesn't know what to do. He walks around the courthouse a little more and frees the people. All the electronics are destroyed, even from the employees that are alive.

Joseph feels guilty for the actions that he committed, but he thinks of something. He decides that he is going to move to his home country of Belarus and start a company to help the poor in his country and in Africa, and to stay quiet in the rural areas. He walks a few miles, and finds a taxi to drive him to Detroit. He gets to Detroit and swims in the ocean and makes it to Toronto after 45 minutes of swimming. He then goes to a Canadian restaurant to order poutine, and gives the restaurant worker a $50 tip, and leaves the restaurant. He then goes to neighbors in Toronto to go look for a travel agency.

"Excuse me sir, do you know where the nearest travel agency for a cruise is at?", Joseph said.

"Well sir, the closest travel agency is a couple miles away, take the bus it is on Maple Ave.", the neighbor said.

"Ok, thanks. I will take that route.", Joseph said.

Joseph gets to the bus stop and waits for the bus to arrive. He gets on the bus to Maple Ave. He then arrives to the Toronto Travel Agency. He waits in line for 10 minutes, and the agency worker asks him if he has a passport. Joseph is confused, but then he realizes its a travel passport. He says that he will be back tomorrow. The agency worker nods. Joseph goes to an area in Toronto, a flea market with a bunch of stores, and he finds a printing store.

"Hello sir! I need a passport."

"Sir, we don't sell those here."

"I'm sorry, a card."

Joseph thought the worker would not get the code word, but the worker got what he meant.

"Oh a card! Come on sir, let's take you to the card room.", the printer store worker said.

Joseph and the worker end up in the card room, where the worker takes Joseph's picture, and puts it on a fake Canadian passport.

"Okay, here's your passport and that will cost $200.", the worker said.

"Really? That's expensive.", Joseph says.

"Yeah, stuff ain't cheap here kid."

Joseph hands the printer store worker $200 in Canadian dollars and he gets his passport.

"Have a great day sir!", the employee said.

Joseph leaves the printing store and heads to the travel agency. He gets into the building and waits in line again, and then talks to the travel guy. He looks at the cruise guide and he has decided that he is going to order the Eastern Europe cruise, and him and the travel agency worker sit down and talk about the prices. The price ends up coming to $1,000, to which Joseph pays in cash he stole from the people in the courthouse, because he had no money. He shows his fake passport to the travel agency worker and to his surprise, he gets it stamped.

"You're good to go. Be here at 8AM tomorrow." the travel agent said.

"Thank you very much sir." Joseph said.

Joseph gives the worker a hand shake and tells him that when he gets back a taxi will come to drive everyone for the tour to the dock so that everyone can go on the ship. Joseph walks, and finds a 24 hour fast food restaurant to go sleep in.

He falls asleep in the restaurant after an hour and sleeps for 7 hours. Joseph wakes up tired, and walks out of the burger restaurant because it is 7 in the morning. He sits in the building, waiting. After an hour the taxi arrives, and Joseph enters the car. As Joseph is driving towards Canada, he is quite astonished by the old school architecture, but he knows that he has to go home and live a quiet life in Belarus. About 30 minutes later, Joseph gets out of the taxi, and he gets his case and shows the passport to the boat guard. The guard approves and Joseph gets on the ship.

Joseph gets into his suite, and cries because he is leaving a place he lived in for so long, and is sad because of his sins. But now he knows that he has a future, and he forgets about his sadness for now. He tells himself that he is going to church in Belarus to repent of his sins. The ship starts moving, and Joseph is ready to start his new life as Mckinley Smith, in Minsk, Belarus.

December 4, 2007

After saving my archnemesis Joseph in court, I went back to Monongahela to be a Orthodox monk. I've been practicing since 2004, and I've done some work around the monastery, such as gardening, praying, and preaching God's work and selling wine to help out the monastery.

Since then, I learned some truth about the gospel. Jesus is the one and true God, and I will always worship and have a good relationship with my Lord and Savior. After praying, I decided that I wanted to give some flowers at the cemetery. I drove the van to Charleston, and went and bought some flowers to give to my father and Ashley. I saw my father Reb's grave, and I cleaned it and gave it a fresh clean. I saw the world as a place with flawed people, but still a beautiful place to live. I smiled and prayed at my father Reb's grave, Reb was the nickname I gave my dad because that was his most commonly used tick. When he was supposed to go to war, Scientology taxi drivers found out he wasn't a Scientologist and just beat him to death and drove away. I noticed when I saw him on the road when I got into the cop car. I told my dad, God Bless and I left.

I then walked to Ashley's grave, where I gave her some beautiful blue flowers, that smelled like nature. I prayed there and told her God Bless, then I just sat there for a while. I thought about why did this happen. I did not notice any red flags but I loved this woman for sure. I sat and reminisced at the clouds, smiling at the beautifulness of them. I got up and left, and saw an old lady trying to walk with flowers. I told her that I got her flowers, and me and her started walking.

We started talking about our lives and I told her that there were difficult things happening in life. We walked, smiling in happiness and I bought her ice cream. We sat down, and reminisced the sky and we were having a good time. I told her that she will always be a success in life, and I shook her hand and left.

I walked back to the car, and saw a bunch of people driving up in a car. A lot of people were in limousines, walking up to pray for their loved ones and were giving them flowers. It was such a sweet moment to see, and it healed my heart for a good amount of time. But I had to go back to the monastery soon, so I got in the van, put the keys in the ignition and started driving to the monastery. I smiled on the car ride home, and turned on the radio and started to listen to some Christian heavy metal in the car, and jammed on the way.

A few hours later, I got home and I saw my friends and the Schema monk at the monastery. We hugged each other and ate lentils, eggs and tomato soup for lunch. We laughed and played some card games. I then went to do some chores and help some outsiders out, giving them food and shelter to live in for a while. Me and the other monks started praying on the roof and started walking to the garden, growing vegetables and harvesting them for our next meal. The monastery was a place to keep me calm after combat, it made me feel great to live in and it was a safe place of God.

As harvesting the crops, we worked on constructing a homeless shelter on the property. A nice day, sunny and perfect for work, we used wooden tree logs to construct the shelter and to give these people a home. The place wasn't fully constructed since the monastery started working on it about 2 months ago, so that was progress. I was painting the building, providing an architectural structure to the building. After a couple hours of work, we walked into the prayer room, and talked to God about our problems. As of this time, I have repented of my sins and have worked to praise God, moving to other countries to give them fresh water and food to eat. I have thought about getting another girlfriend, but this is the place that I am deciding to stay in for now, being a hermit is difficult but it keeps me in a peaceful mood.

This Tuesday we drive to the market to serve wine and some Christian foods for families to enjoy. I pulled up in the van and decided to drive.

It has been a couple of days on the tour, and since then it has been nice. I have seen some countries in Eastern Europe and helped some people around town. But all things come to an end on a tour, but I knew I could help later and in my home country. I got off the cruise ship and made it to Minsk, Belarus.

"I haven't been here since I was 10." I said.

I walked around the town, and everything is written in Cyrillic. It is confusing and I don't even know Cyrillic. But I have a paper to an old house, my brother's house. I take a bus to the neighborhood of the house in Minsk, and I knock on the door to see my brother. He hugs me and is glad I'm here because I haven't seen him in 20 years. He told me to come in. I walked in the house and see his family, my nephews and nieces which are grown and I haven't seen in years. I then put my suitcase down and saw my mother and father. They dropped everything and cried to hug me. I hugged them and cried and told them that I am very sorry for everything. We cried and sat on the couch, in then a few minutes later we went and watched some television. My niece Darja asked me, "What happened to all your money in the U.S.?"

"I lost it all trying to be greedy. But in the end, I would rather be poor with my family rather than rich and unhappy.", I said.

We sat outside of the house and me and my family are talking about life in the U.S. They were asking me how was it and if I could speak Belarusian again. I told them that I could not and that I had forgotten my native language and writing system.

"I knew it!" my brother Denis said.

"Don't worry son, we'll get you learning Cyrillic again. You missed a lot of history of your family history, Joseph.", my dad said.

Thanks, Dad. Now let's all go drink some beer and eat some draniki shall we?

"Yeah", my family said, and we all drove to the restaurant, where we ate some stew, beer and potato pancakes. I can't wait to be living with my family again, this is a life I have not seen in years, and my family is here now, as soon as I eat, afterwards I will go to church. Some of our family have to drive in the trunk since we are in so much poverty in Eastern Europe. The draniki was so well cooked and fried, that I haven't eaten it in years. Me and my family walk around Minsk, and buy me a chain, since they did not have much money. I said, that's alright. The chain is a good gift, and nothing else would be as better as seeing my family. We sat in the living room, and they have DVD players. I told them that I bought some DVDs and that you can watch some comedy movies. We all laughed our butts off, my nephew fell on the floor due to all the laughter. I went to my old bedroom, which is now my nephews, and saw that my old poster from my favorite western movie, The Cowboy's Hamburger was still there. It was a great sight to see. My mother gave me a tarp, and I slept on the couch to see the sky and old architecture of my town. I said, that this is my home now, and that I am not coming back to any other country for fun. I slept and thought of a new future, hanging out with my family.

So we get to Charleston, and we start selling wine in the flea markets. We get sellers, sometimes we get very little sellers but you know any money works for the monastery. So me and Gregory are selling and then a Karen comes up and wants to buy our wine for a discount.

"This is a charity ma'am, if you don't like it, then get out of here."

The Karen, however did not get mad and bought the 10 bottles of church wine for $75. We decided to close up shop and head back to the monastery. When we were walking to the parking lot, we saw a car pull up into the driveway. Me and Gregory pull up to the drive-thru and order some fish and chips, but the drive-thru worker was having a bad day so we prayed for him to get better and we got our food. We then went to the construction store to get some tools to work on the shelter, because some of our tools got dull at the monastery. We then went back to the monastery to praise our Father and Holy God Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We worshiped for about 3 hours and then went back to our dorms. I went into the tool shed to grab some tools to start harvesting tomatoes to start dinner and started cooking. But then I realized that it was fasting time so I harvested the tomatoes and put them in the freezer until tomorrow. I then went into my dorm room, where I sat on my bed and read a Psalter, singing the beautiful book of Psalms and praising the Lord. But then the Stavrophore monk Giovanni came and said that someone wants to visit me. I was interested, and got up out of my bed and started walking. We get to the outside near the monastery, and I see someone I haven't seen in 5 years. It was my mother. I am speechless and I drop my suitcase. She sees that I have grown a beard and she goes and hugs me, saying how she has missed me after all of those years. I told her thank you, and I tell her to come to the monastery, and that we are fasting.

I tell her how it has been since the Scientology War, and that life is getting better and that I had to save my enemy. Life is not easy to get through. But is it impossible? No. Mom, we must get through life, and God has been here by my side for years, helping me to have a kind heart and to point out my mistakes. God is great, and God is good and I will worship and praise and do good things for him till I can't anymore or till I go. Thank you God, for helping me on this journey, and help me keep moving forward, and teach me to help others. Thank you in the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Thank you to the Lamb.

Acknowledgments:

I thank God and my mom and dad for encouraging me to work on this book and never give up. All glory to God. Second, this was a challenge for me to write a book in a month, even though I did not get to novel, I got to the minimum of a novella and I am proud of that. This was a fun project to work on and I want to write more books in the future. Thank you God, and all glory to you. Amen.
