    made of plastic and elastic
    he is rugged and long-lasting
    who could ever ever ask for more
    love without complications galore
    many shapes and weights to choose from
    I will never leave my bedroom
    I will never cry at night again
    wrap my arms around him and pretend....

    Coin, Operated Boy...
     
    this bridge was written to make you feel smittener
    with my sad picture of boy getting bitterer
    can you extract me from my plastic fantasy
    I didnt think so but I"m still convinceable
    will you persist even after I bet you
    a billion dollars that I'll never love you
    will you persist even after I kiss you
    goodbye for the last time
    will you keep on trying
    to prove it?
    I'm dying

    for my life I cant imagine
    any flesh and blood could be his match
    I can even take him in the bath
     
    Coin, Operated Boy...
     
    he may not be real
    but I know he feels
    like a boy should feel

    out to be Tainted Love. Gawd I'm soo depressed My heart is so shattered

    Ok here are the true Vampire facts that I unfortunatly learned
     
    Within hours of being bitten, the victim develops a headache, fever, chills and other flu-like symptoms as the body tries to fight off the infection. These symptoms can be easily confused with more common viral infections, although the presence of bite marks on the body are usually enough to confirm the diagnosis. This stage generally lasts between six and twelve hours.Within 24 hours of being bitten, the victim will slip into a Vampiric coma. During this phase, the pulse slows, breathing is shallow and the pupils are dilated. The large numbers of people mistakenly buried alive while in Vampiric comas gave rise to the myth that Vampires sleep in coffins. While it is commonly thought that anyone infected with HVV turns into a Vampire, in fact only a small percentage of people survive Vampiric comas. Generally, the young, the old and the feeble never come out of their Vampiric comas and eventually die. The vast majority of people who survive Vampiric comas are males between the ages of 18 to 35. Vampiric comas last about 3 weeks ;. A bite victim who survives the coma will awaken fully transformed into a Vampire. An acclimation period follows, characterized by confusion, despondency and paranoia. Most Vampires begin to hunt within 24 hours of transformation. Although some do not'
     
    The first few days after coming out of a Vampiric coma are especially difficult for a Vampire. A newly transformed Vampire awakens disoriented, its judgment clouded by competing impulses and memories of its previous life. But all those are drowned out by a fierce, intense desire for blood. This urge for blood eventually snaps a Vampire into focus, and it sets about finding a way to fill that urge.
     
    Powerful sense organs gave Vampires an advantage both in hunting and eluding capture. Sneaking up on them virtually impossible, as they are aware of your presence long before you are aware of theirs.
     
    Sight: in Vampires, the iris in each eye becomes hyperdilated, giving them what appear to be black eyes. While this iris dilation gives Vampires excellent night vision,
     
    Smell/Hearing: both senses are extremely acute, as Vampires have double the receptor cells in their noses and ears compared to humans. In fact, Vampires usually smell or hear a person coming long before they see one
     
    Teeth: during Vampiric coma, the upper and lower eyeteeth experience growth. Additional enamel is deposited on the crown of the tooth.
     
    Muscular/Skeletal System:
    Adaptations in their skeletal and muscular systems give Vampires significant advantages over humans.
     
    Muscles/Connective Tissue: about 90% of vampire muscles are of the fast-twitch variety (compared to 50% for the average human). Fast-twitch muscles enable short bursts of maximal force, ideal when hunting prey. Also, Vampire ligaments and tendons thicken in response to the workload imposed upon them by the muscles.
     
    Skeletal system: Vampire bones thicken, an adaptation necessary to support their newly-powerful muscles. no Vampire on record has ever died of natural causes Vampires do not age on a molecular/genetic level, Contrary to the opinions of many theologians, Vampiric longevity is not the result of some pact with the devil, but rather an ability to ward off the DNA damage that occurs during cell division in normal humans. Specifically, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes known as telomers get chewed up over time in humans, but not in Vampires. Many a Vampire hunter has made the mistake of underestimating them.
     
    FAQs
     
    Vampires sleep in coffins:
    Source: this myth probably arose from gravediggers and others who observed Vampires emerging from coffins and crypts.
    Truth: if a Vampire did spend the night in a coffin, it probably had nothing to do with sleeping preference. In the old days, many victims of Vampire bites were interred while still in a Vampiric coma. The truth is, Vampires will sleep wherever they feel safe.
     
    Garlic repels Vampires:
    Source: most likely based on observation.
    Fact: Vampires have sensitive noses and can momentarily be driven off by pungent odors. However, this method of deterrence is unreliable and certainly won't work on an experienced Vampire.
     
    Crosses repel Vampires:
    Source: Christian religion
    Fact: crosses have no effect on Vampires
     
    Vampires are killed by driving a stake through their heart:
    Source: Christian religion.
    Fact: because their blood is circulated by skeletal muscles, Vampires can easily survive injuries to the heart
     
    Vampires burst into flames upon exposure to sunlight:
    Source: most likely based on observations of a Vampire's extreme reaction to sunlight
    Fact: sunlight renders Vampires, with their hyperdilated irises, blind. It also causes neural pathways to fire randomly in the Vampire brain, creating an extreme epileptic reaction. As dramatic as this reaction may appear, it will not be enough to start a fire. Thus is why we wear very dark lensed sunglasses.
     
    Holy Water burns the skin and flesh of Vampires:
    Source: Christian religion
    Fact: holy water, or any water for that matter, has little effect on Vampires.
     
    Vampires can fly:
    Source: observation of leaping Vampires; association of ampires with bats.
    Fact: while they do possess extraordinary leaping ability (Vampires have been observed leaping over fences 20 feet high), Vampires cannot fly. unless they are in a airplane.
     
    Vampires turn into bats:
    Source: association of Vampires with bats.
    Fact: no, Vampires cannot turn into bats.
     
    Vampires are not visible in mirrors:
    Source: Christian religion. It was thought that a Vampire, or any creature lacking a soul, would not produce a reflection in a mirror.
    Fact: Vampires are visible in mirrors, although interestingly enough, they are often quite discomfited by their own reflections.
     
    VAMPIRES
     
    Don't turn other people into Vampires by drinking them dry, but by pumping their own blood into the person
     
    Can move at incredibly fast speeds, which they call "flitting".
     
    Are much stronger than humans
     
    Are able to enter a house without being asked in
     
    They can experience sunlight without any drastic side effects.
     
    They don't usually sleep in coffins.
     
    They are not frightened by Christian crosses.
     
    Garlic does not repulse them.
     
    They do cast reflections in mirrors.
     
    They have shadows.

    I was thumbing through the Want Ads in the Maricopa County Tribune when this classified advertisement caught my eye. It said, "Take immediate delivery on this 1957 Chevrolet half-ton pickup truck. Will sell or swap for a hide-a-bed and thirty-five bucks. Call 602-265-5550 ring two, and ask for Bob."
     
    Well, I called Bob up on the telephone, he says, "Hello, this is Bob speaking." I says "This here the Bob that got the pickup truck for sale?" He says, "Yeah." I says, "Where are ya?" He says, "Fourteen Thirty Five Cave Creek Rd, turn right on the one-lane gravel road, you can park in the yard, beware of the dog, wipe your feet off, knock three times, and bring your billfold."
     
    Well, I tooled on East on Cave Creek Rd, turned right on the one-lane gravel road, and I parked in the yard and a German Shepherd come out and grabbed onto my leg. Then I knocked three times and wiped my feet, the dog let go and the screen door opened and Bob come out and says "Whaddya want?" I says, "Come to see your truck." He says, "Follow me. Come on, Frank." (Dog's name is Frank.)
     
    Well, we all went past the chicken house, through the hog pen, down to the tractor shed, and then wound up in back of the barn in a field of cowpies. And sitting right there in a pool of grease was a half-ton Chevy pickup truck with a 1960's license plate, a bumper sticker says "Vote for Dick" and Brillo box full of rusty parts, and Bob says "Whaddya think?".
     
    Well, I kicked the tires and I got in the seat and sat on a petrified apple core and found a bunch of field mice living in the glove compartment. He says, "Her shaft is bent and her rear end leaks, you can fix her quick with an oily rag. Use a nail to start her; I lost the key. Don't pay no mind to that whirrin' sound. She use's a little oil, but outside a' that, she's cherry."
     
    I says, "What'll take?" He says, "What've you got?" I says, "Twenty-eight dollars and fifteen cents." He says, "You got a deal. Sign here, I'll go get the title and a can full of gas." I put the nail in the slot and fired her up; she coughed and belched up a bunch of smoke and I backed her right through the hog pen into the yard.
     
    Well, Frank jumped in and bit my leg and I beat him off with a crowbar. <<Not what you're thinking geesz >>He jumped on out and the door fell off and the left front tire went flat. I jacked it up and patched the tube and Frank tore a piece of my shirt off. Then Bob come out and called him off and says "You better get on out of here."
     
    I turned left on the one-lane gravel road, then went West on Cave Creek Rd. Took two full quarts of forty-weight oil just to get her to the Conoco Station. And I pulled up to the Regular pump and then Kylen Anderson and his kid come out. He says, "I've seen better stuff at junkyards Justyn but where'd you ever get that truck?"
     
    I says, "That's a long story, Kylen. I was thumbing through the Want Ads in the Maricopa County Tribune when this classified advertisement caught my eye. It said, "Take immediate delivery on this 1957 Chevrolet half-ton pickup truck. Will sell or swap for a hide-a-bed and thirty-five bucks

    Well I found him sitting on a Sioux City park bench one cold November afternoon. Me.. I was just drifting thru. He said he was 14 and he was running away from home, and no he wouldn't mind some company. So I sat down and smoked my last cigarette he pulled out a candy bar. And we started talking about the how's and the why's and we watched the first snow start to fall. I said "Hey little dude", now I know the whole world looks a lot better to you now, but you know, you gotta hold onto your home cause home is what's gonna keep you warm...so if you gotta run someplace run outta this here park and back home. Now I don't have any money to help get you there but here... take my coat I can't let you go cold. Standing out at the edge of town leaning on a Route 20 sign, snow blowing all around I thought about my home and how far away it was. And as night come on the wind picked up I started thinking about the cold , and the blizzard I might be spending the night with. And then I realized I didn't have a coat anymore and somewhere so was that little boy... I was alone. Well along about midnight I started to say my prayers cause the road was gone and I wasn't far behind. All a sudden I saw some blue lights whirling and flashing and a patrolman helped me into a warm car and there inside was my little runaway friend and he wrapped my coat around me. Well all I could say was "Thank-You both for saving my life". But the Officer looked me straight in the eye and said ...."Thank-You ...for sending .. my little boy ...back home...to me"....

    One green April morning when I was a young boy
    I lay by the window watching the rain
    And I wondered if ever the sun would come shining
    So I could go somewhere to play
     
    Then down from the sky flew a little brown sparrow
    And he landed on a branch of an old willow tree
    And he sit there watching as I lay wondering
    Just the little brown sparrow and me
     
    Then he looked in my window and spied his reflection
    There was the willow, there was the sky
    And he wondered if ever the sun would come shining
    In which was the way for the sparrow to fly
     
    Well, he spread out his wings and he flew to the window
    Fast as the wind, sure as could be
    But the sky in the window was only a wishing
    For the little brown sparrow and me
     
    So there by the window, the sparrow had fallen
    He died on the ground in the cold April rain
    And I wondered if ever the sun would come shining
    And someone could only explain
     
    Then I laid there and saw the wind blow through the willow
    And cover him over with yesterday's leaves
    And there in the rain, I cried for that sparrow
    For the little brown sparrow and me
     
    On a green April morning when I was a young boy
    And that little brown sparrow was free
    On a green April morning when life.... was a window
    For the little brown sparrow and me

    Alfred Packer the guy who had a few friends for dinner back in 1874 was the only person in the U.S.A. who was ever convicted of cannibalism. Late in January of 1874 the 6 men found shelter and food at Chief Ouray's camp near Montrose, Colorado. On February 9th, Packer and five companions left the camp, contrary to the advice of Ouray. Packer arrived alone at the Los Pinos Indian Agency, near Saguache, Colorado on April 16th, 1874. He was fat and had plenty of money. He admitted that he had lived off the flesh of his five companions the bigger part of the sixty days he was lost between Lake San Cristobal and the Los Pinos Agency.
     
    So I came up with this ditty about Al Packer
     
     
    Way up in the snow
    Where the scrub oaks grow
    And the coneys and the picas play
    Where the marmots abound
    All digging in the ground
    And the wind blows cold all day
     
    There's a little pile of stones
    On a little pile of bones
    That's what the archaeologists say
    But the folks in Lake City
    Well, they sing a different ditty
    It would like to make your hair turn gray
     
    Now, it's kinda hard to find
    But it'll altercate your mind
    If you happen to go the right way
    You take Slumgullion Pass
    And don't stop for no gas
    Until you get yourself to Al's Caf

    Haunting of Michael Haley
     
    Prologue:
     
     
    They say the Devil lit the match, when Micheal Haley jumped the tracks. Sent flying from the stoney wall, his engine like a fireball. Now dead and buried in his train, where still are heard his screams of pain. No longer does he burn his coal but in Sedona River Valley stirs his soul.
     
     
    "Derailed in October of 1968, Micheal Haley age 21 at the time was one of only five train-related deaths in the entire history of Riverton. The others were all basically normal, for example one guy had a heart attack while driving a train, just simple things like that, but the story goes.. Michael was chugging along up in the hills, where it gets all steep and rocky and he'd been running that line for about four years so he knew what he was doing. Anyway, there was apparently an explosion, or just a freak break-away of like a million rocks and boulders, because something happened that they never quite explained. A bunch of land gave way under the tracks and the rails snapped and his train went down. The area was charred pretty bad, but they don't know if that was from his train blowin' up, or what. Unfortunately, so much rubble went down with him that after digging about forty feet down, they gave up. It was taking so long and the family just wanted closure. I mean, everybody knew he was down there presumed dead. So, they stopped, gave a brief memorial service and left it as is. Michael's body and his train were never recovered. No memorial marker was ever erected. No investigation of what caused the wreck was ever conducted. He was forgotten. Was Michael still alive in that wreckage? Did Michael hear them digging for him but was too injured to somehow let them know he indeed was alive? Had they not given up and recovered his body and gave him a proper funeral his soul would have been at rest. Yes Michael Haley and his train is still buried there and the mountain side is still charred and black and there are stll a few twisted rails from the wreck of so long ago...evidence of something horrible took place. Now 30 years later Michael Haley is back from the dead. This time he will not be forgotten..
     
    Chapter 1
     
    Riverton is a major train town. The amount of train tracks in this town is about equal to half the amount of roads. On the way back into town, Stony and I stopped at the only railroad crossing that we'd passed on the way in, as the lights were blinking, the bell was dinging and the bars were down. There were trees all around and the lights gave them an erie throbbing glow. I had stopped my car about ten feet from the tracks. We waited about fifteen seconds and finally I was getting antcy.
     
    "Where's the damn train?" I asked leaning over the wheel trying to see down the tracks.
     
    At this point there was a sudden jerk of the car and it started slowly creeping toward the rails.
     
    "Whoa!" I yelped and just as startled as me.
     
    Stony then asked "What was that Justyn?"
     
    "I don't....Oh Shit" I said, lifting my foot then hastily slamming it back down on the brake. This is when we heard the first whistle blow. "f**k! Why are we moving?!" I yelled, becoming scared. "Hold On!"
     
    I took my foot off the brake and the car started heading to the rails at a very quick pace. As the train came into veiw I damn near jumped on the brake pedal and slammed the transmission into reverse. The train was fifty yards away and gaining speed when I gunned the engine. The train was very very big and long and there were at least 20, maybe 30 cars behind the single Engine. The Engine was one of the old coal burning ones of yesteryear. It looked like the Silveton train in Durango Colorado that takes tourists from Durango to Silverton except this one was bigger, much bigger. The Crossing Bars began to raise and although the tires on my car were squealing and burning out in reverse the car was still very slowly sliding its way toward the tracks. Now I had a 1968 Delta 88 Oldsmobile with a bigass 455 Rocket, 4 barrel, V-8 engine with Posi-Traction and regular 15X tires in front and wide 15X18's on the rear with American Standard Slotted Mag rims and the heavy powerful car was still heading for the tracks like sliding on wet glass. The Crossing Bars were totally vertical the lights and bell doing double-time and the train was like exploding thunder cause it was so loud. The car was about a foot away from the tracks when the Engine was directly in front of us and neither of us capable of rational thought so all we could do was scream and hold on. The train reached a distance of about five feet past the right side crossing lights when a jagged, flickery band of light appeared in an arch around the Engine. The train continued through disappearing as it went but the band stayed in place, seemingly consuming the twenty-some cars that followed the speeding Engine. The Delta 88 stopped dead and then suddenly the entire train was gone. The lights quit flashing. The bell went silent. Stony and I just sat there listening to the slow but steady ker-tunk, ker-tunk, ker-tunk from the left turn signal in the car. Neither of us dared to move. We were paralyzed with fear. A train just came out of nowhere, my car almost drove itself infront of said train and then said train vanished into an archway of white light. This was odd. We just sat there, silently staring straight ahead for I don't know how long.
     
    "What just happened?" Stony asked calmly.
     
    I took a moment to put my response together then slowly stated
     
    "Either we are in the Twilight Zone or we almost got hit by a ... ghost train."
     
    Stony nodded Yeah. I restarted the car and slowly but under my total control, drove the car over the tracks and made it safely to the other side. I then slammed the gas pedal to the floor and both rear tires spun and we were off in a flash. Well let me rephrase that. The train was gone in a flash. We left very fast. Like a f**king bat outta Hell. Yeah that sounds better.
     
     
    Once in town I spoke finally breaking the silence in the car. "I think I'm gonna need a new set or rear tires sniffing the air in the car which smelled of burning tires."
     
    "Nobody's gonna believe us" Stony said simply.
     
    "I know" I said "but we're gonna tell somebody anyway right?"
     
    "You're damn straight we are" he stated sternly.
     
    I gave him a a raised eyebrow then he said
     
    "Ummm heh heh wrong choice of wording ?"
     
    I just rolled my eyes and said
     
    "Always a goof-ball arent ya?"
     
    We pulled up to Tanner's house and snuk up to his window and started tapping like crazy till he peeked out his curtain and opened his window and asked
     
    "What are you two butt-monkey's doing here at 1 am? Gotta another wacked out idea?"
     
    "It's important" Stony finished imposingly.
     
    "Fine get your ass's in here" he said sliding the the window open and we hopped on his sill and into his room.
     
    "Alright what did you guys do or gonna do" he asked?"
     
    "Something just tried to kill us!" Stoney blurted.
     
    "What?!" Tanner asked in disbelief and surprise.
     
    "Dude, I kid you not!" stated Stony excitedly but serious. "We were out driving around and then we stopped at a railroad crossing but there wasn't any train even though the signals said there oughtta be and then something started .. like--pulling the car onto the tracks! That's when the train appeared outta like nothingness and Justyn threw the car into reverse and he was all peelin' out but the car was still moving and the train kept coming and just as the train got in front of us, the car was like two feet from total decimation then the car stalled out dead and the train disappeared into a tunnel of light and the signals just quit and it was weird as f**k and scary as hell!"
     
    Tanner sat there mouth open and eyes cocked kinda funny just staring at Stony the Babbler. I put my hand on Stony's shoulder and said
     
    "O.K good work Stony, how 'bout I give it a try?"
     
    "O.K" said Stony, ignoring my sarcasm.
     
    "Tanner" I started, and he looked right at me. "Everything that the Flash here just told you was exactly true. What we at least believe to have been a ghost train was again we think trying to run us over err sorta."
     
    "A ... train ..." Tanner said at length more trying to confirm it to himself than ask us.
     
    "A train" said Stony nodding.
     
    Tanner closed his eyes and grimaced.
     
    "What kind of train?" he asked.
     
    "Trans-f**kin'-lucent Tanner! We told you this thing was some kinda f**king ghost thing man!" yelled Stony.
     
    "I mean what kind of train was it as in freight, passenger ect Stonewall, and if you don't calm down right now and stop your god damned yellin you can get outta my house cause I dont need my rents waking up and catching you two tweaks in here at this hour!"
     
    Tanner shot back putting a certain irritated emphasis on Stony's name.
     
    "I'm not sure myself" I said. "It didn't look like anything I'd ever seen...I mean not a modern Freight or Am-Trak Diesel but some kind of Steam Engine, or Locomotive like The Silverton Train in Colorado but bigger. I mean it was f**king huge and definitely not modern."
     
    "Wow..." said Tanner rubbing his temples. "You guys are aware of what this sounds like?" he asked making it sound more like a statement.
     
    "Of course we are" said Stony. "But we had to tell somebody."
     
    "And you do know you can't say anything about this to anybody else right?" Tanner asked.
     
    Stony and I stopped for a second and looked at each other in confusion then back to him.
     
    "Why not?" I asked.
     
    Tanner looked at both of us like he was apalled at our ignorance.
     
    "Helll-lllooOO guys. Last night? Cute little couple in their car on the railroad tracks, now they're really on the railroad tracks and nobody knows...." and then, just above a whisper, he finished, "...why?"
     
    I turned my head to meet Stony's shocked expression and noticed that his jaw had dropped. I became aware that mine had too.
     
    "Oh...my...God," said Stony, looking down at the floor and holding his head up with both hands.
     
    "I can't believe we forgot about that" I said to nobody in particular.
     
    Tanner's door opened and his brother Jamie came in rubbing his eyes like he'd just gotten up.
     
    "Tan-Tan whats all the racket about?" he asked.
     
    When he saw Stony and I in the room with Tanner he stopped abruptly and his voice was astonishly awakened though his head still hung at an odd angle, his hand frozen to his eye, the left one darting between the two of us.
     
    "Hi guys. W'sup?" he asked.
     
    "Hi, Jamie" said Stony from beside the window, sleep much?"
     
    "Not when two long haired lunatics are screaming at one o'clock in the morning in my brother's room which is right next to mine" he answered. "Speaking of which, why was that happening?"
     
    "You are about to find out" I said to Jamie.
     
    "Tanner your car is out back right?" I asked
     
    "Uh...yeah?" he said cautiously, his eyes narrowing a bit.
     
    "Got plenty gas?" I asked.
     
    "Half a tank" he said glancing once to Stony and then back to me.
     
    "Good" I started but Stony cut me off.
     
    "f**k that!" he said sternly. "I'm not going back there."
     
    "Hey Stony! Do want anybody to believe us or not?" I asked loudly. "Look, no one will believe just the two of us but with four witnesses they just might".
     
    He was about to protest again but I started in..
     
    "Look dude we get over there, we wait for it, we show these guys what happens, if anything even does happen. However instead of being in the car, we will all be sitting near the trees at the side of the road so nothing can happen."
     
    Stony looked more agreeable though still not happy. I looked at Jamie and said
     
    "Get dressed, we gotta trip to take."
     
    In ten minutes Stony , Jamie, Tanner and I were in Tanner's Chevy Lumina. Twenty minutes later we'd made the last turn onto the road that led to the crossing at which Stony and I had witnessed the "event". After a few bends the crossing came into veiw.
     
    "O.K now slow down" I said from behind Tanner putting a hand on his shoulder. "Get up to about ten feet away from the tracks then stop the car."
     
    He did as he was told and when the proper distance he put the emergency brake on and slapped the console gear shift into park.
     
    "Here?" he asked in a slightly tired voice.
     
    "Yes Sir" I said, staring straight ahead. "OK now everybody out."
     
    "Wait..what?" asked Jamie.
     
    "I said get out of the car Jamie. So...get out of the car." I said.
     
    At this point Stony and I both had our doors open and by the time we were out Jamie was looking quizzically at Tanner who just shrugged and followed suit. Tanner had gotten about half as far as Stony and I when Jamie stood up out of the car. Suddenly and without any warning at all there was a sinlge "ding" from one of the crossing signal bells. This caught Jamie's attention and he turned where he was and looked at the signal on our side of the road but nothing came of it. He took about four steps away from the car and turned and pushed the door shut. Tanner had gotten to us by now and joined us sitting by the side of the road. It was at this point that the signals were activated both bells and lights. The Crossing Bars wobbled a bit as if something were holding them and keeping them from lowering.
     
    "Hey" called Jamie from beside the car "You guys do have great timing."
     
    "Jamie get away from there!!" I yelled standing up.
     
    The train blew its whistle from the distance and the wind picked up blowing leaves and dust in circles and swirls.
     
    "I'm coming" he said, rolling his eyes and taking two more steps to get around the car.
     
    Unfortunately Tanner left his driver side window up. I say this was unfortunate because had he left his window down and then when the invisible force had spun Jamie around and picked him up and shoved him head-first into the driver seat the glass wouldn't have been there for him to have to break through. Stony and Tanner jumped to their feet and all three of us simply stunned.
     
    "Holy f**k!!" shouted Tanner, running to assist Jamie.
     
    "Come ON guys!" he shouted back to us and we snapped back to reality rushing to meet them.
     
    The whistle blew again, closer this time. We got to the car, Tanner frantically asking Jamie if he was O.K., and Jamie, only semi with it, was mumbling something in return about not knowing. The Crossing Bars on the signals suddenly received a bright jolt of electricity and were blown off. The wind was ferocious now, nothing at all like the circumstances of the earlier encounter. Tanner had been trying helplessly to open the door but it wouldn't budge.
     
    "Grab his ankle, grab his ankle," I directed and we each pushed Jamie's legs down under the steering column.
     
    I reached in and grabbed one of his hands and pulled him into a sitting position. The car jerked.
     
    "Oh shit, not this again!" yelled Stony, his hands running through his hair as he stood behind us, unable to help for lack of room.
     
    "Take an arm," I hollered and Tanner yelled back that he had one.
     
    The car began to move forward as we had Jamie pulled halfway out of the car. Stony ran in front of it and gave a loud "Oh, shit!" when he saw the beaming pale blue light of the oncoming train, then ran at the car slamming his hands onto the hood and started to push, slowing the car's pace.
     
    "Come on Jamie, you gotta help us out, buddy!" I yelled and he seemed to wake up a bit kicking his legs out from under the wheel.
     
    As soon as he had done this the three of us fell back onto the road and seeing as we were out of immediate danger Stony let up off the car and bolted over to us quickly scurrying us off the road. We looked up and saw that the car had been pulled up onto the tracks and stopped and its lights matching the superfast alternating pattern of the signal's. The train came and its noise louder than any other. It looked like Tim Burton had a bad dream about a Steam Engine. It was purple, black, silver and blue, and warped and twisted like no train I'd ever seen, nor you, I'd imagine. The weirdest thing about how it looked though was that you could just barely see right through it. It smashed right through the car crumpling it like tin foil, ripping it in half and sending shards of metal spinning and flipping as far as fifteen feet around although no explosion occurred. About twenty feet past the car the train's emergency brake switched on and the train slid another fifty feet before completely stopping. (Now how could a train of that size stop so quickly when usually it takes over a mile to stop a train going as fast as this one was going had really tripped me out.) We laid there in total shock, the four of us hudled together, yet strewn upon the grass beside the road. Slowly the train back tracked until the Engine was a good fifteen feet behind the spot where it smashed Tanner's car. We all uncovered our heads enough to look up and see the train when it hissed loudly as it came to a complete stop. There was a moment's pause and then a voice boomed out over the area. A deep voice, but not Freddy Krueger, or Darth Vader deep. It was even more gravely and mad , (no not mad but PISSED) and deep, but it was definitly scary to everybody.
     
     
    "OK that's it!!" the voice said loud as the Fourth of July.
     
    "I got one good hit in and then the next two were f**kin' blood free in the same f**kING night!! Well no more giving you f**ker's head starts. From now on if I see somebody on the tracks ... BAM!!! They're f**king DEAD...!"
     
    The sounds of gears moving and steam hissing were heard and the voice added with a faint chuckle
     
    "Heh heh....See you kids later."
     
    Then starting at the light at the front of the Engine the train was consumed in a bright bluish-white light and vanished. The four boy's rose to their feet not breaking from their stupified gaze toward where the transparent train had been not one minute ago.
     
    "What the f**k is going on here?" murmured Tanner.
     
    "Oh...my...God," said Jamie.
     
    The first two words were normal enough but "God" came out more like "Goo-awwwd" and it sounded like he was about to throw up.
     
    "Dude...are you OK?" I asked.
     
    "Yeah" Jamie said
     
    "Tanner, we oughtta get you to a hospital to get checked out" I said in a concerned voice.
     
    "I don't need a goddamned hospital!" he yelled, shoving past me and walking stiffly toward the wreckage on the tracks.
     
    "THE CAR...is what needs the hospital!"
     
    He got right beside what was left of what used to be the back end of Tanner's car and held his hands out uselessly and dropped to his knees.
     
    "We are so dead." he stated calmly then looking at the destruction before him.
     
    "Hey Jamie, you're lucky you got out in time," said Tanner coming up behind him.
     
    He was about to put his hand on his brother's shoulder but Jamie turned his head just enough so that he could barely see Tanner's oncoming hand.
     
    "Don't even start in with that kinda bullshit Tan." he snapped.
     
    Tanner pulled his hand back wincing a bit.
     
    "At least if I was in the car right now or rather spread out with the car right now you guys could explain this. But like this? "Jamie, how did this happen?' Oh umm well see it's funny story dad, one of Tanner's f**k-brained friends told us to leave the car as bait for a psychopathic GHOST TRAIN'!!!"
     
    Jamie turned back to the wreckage and looked ahead of him. It was not mangled car parts that he saw but a pair of old scuffed up brown boots. This was new. Slowly he looked upward. He saw the ragged old jeans, the frumpled violet-pink, puce-like colored button-up shirt, the purple bandana tied around the neck, the gnarled, angry, half flesh-ridden face, with what skin was left being a gray-purple color, and the tall, dark gray engineer's hat. Behind the figure the train sat motionless. He was scared shitless.
     
    "Who's your daddy now you little f**ker?" asked the Ghostly figure.
     
    He grabbed Jamie by the collar and pulled him close so that Jamie's nose was only inches away from where the tip of the Ghostly figure's nose would've been had it not been decayed already.
     
    "You got a bloody future alright boy!" He began to laugh and started to lift Jamie by the collar.
     
    I picked up a long jagged piece of wreckage and speared the Ghostly f**ker in such a way that Steven Seagal himself would be proud. The Ghostly Engineer doubled down releasing Jamie and falling right on his back.
     
    "Yesssss!!" Tanner screamed throwing a fist in the air.
     
    "Get the f**k outta there!!!" screamed Stony.
     
    We had of course made plenty of space between us and the tracks.
     
    "Let's go!" he yelled.
     
    But it was only now that Jamie's brain was clear enough to allow him to scream which was he started to do. The Ghostly Engineer had already started to stand when I grabbed Jamie by the arm and yelled
     
    "Move it!".
     
    Thankfully it registered that time and Jamie took off with Stony leading the way. The Ghostly Engineer stood up fully and watched us all make a b-line around the bend. We could hear him laughing for at least a quarter mile further wether it was the echo or just him being that strong winded. Once we stopped hearing him we all slowed down, weak and scared. Jamie fainted. We were all sweating and out of breath and Stony was kneeling in the right lane of the road, Tanner was holding Jamie in a sitting position, and me bringing up the end of the group just beside the road. We knew there was no way we could run any more especially if we had Jamie's dead weight to take along.
    That's when we heard it.

    One night last summer we were camped at ten thousand feet up where the air is clear, high in the Mountains of Northern Arizona just outside of a town called Heber. And as the fire burned low and only a few glowing coals remained, we laid on our backs all warm in our sleeping bags and looked up at the stars.
     
    And as I felt myself falling into the vastness of the Universe, I thought about things, and places, and times.
     
    I thought about the time my Grandma told me what to say when I saw the evening star. You know, Star Light, Star Bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight.
     
    The air is crystal-clear up here; that's why you can see a million stars.
     
    I remember a time my Grandpa told me that he and his friends were in a canyon of the Green River in Wyoming; it was a night like this. And they had their rafts pulled up on the bank and turned over so they could sleep on them, and one of the guys from New York said, "Hey! Look at the smog in the sky! Smog clear out here in the sticks!" And somebody said, "Hey, Joe, that's not smog; that's the Milky Way."
     
    Joe had never seen the Milky Way.
     
    My Grandpa told me they saw the Northern Lights once, in the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana. He said that they were like flames from some prehistoric campfire, leaping and dancing in the sky and changing colors. Red to Gold, and Blue to Violet

    Man I am sooo messed up over what happened that I cant even think straight. The incident happened last Saturday but it seems like its really hitting hard now. kinda like a delayed feeling reaction. I wrecked my car this morning .... not bad though I kinda zoned out and hit a curb which tweaked the right front wheel weird. Its kinda drivable but pulls like a SOB to the right. Its a 95 Mazda Miata MX-5 blk convertible. Shamrock Towing took it to Camelback Mazda and I'll find out this eve how many bones its gonna take to fix it. The guy he was doing it with talked to me about what happened. He was so angry and upset at dare-dick Derrick that he actually gave him a black-eye (giggles) He (Randy) told me that Derrick told him he didnt have a boyfriend. So the phucher lied and cheated. Randy's been way kewl , he's been calling and coming over to see how things are going with me. He said he has been down this road once before but not like this. ...I soo want a Coin, Operated Boy (sigh) I better stop before this turns into a Novel Sorry guys I just had to vent this outta my system.
