A Message In The Dark. Runner-Up in Leave the Light On Challenge.
In the fourth grade, we had a class excursion to the beach. Miss Page found an old bottle, and we all stood around in awe as she pulled an old piece of note paper out of it. Its corners were frayed, and it was stained as if it had been soaked in tea. Its mysterious author was from Brazil. A boy, also in the fourth grade, greeted us from half a world away, and I could not wrap my little mind around this miraculous coincidence. That was the best day ever.

Mr Drake's Proposal
When the sky tore open and the pre-entry vapour clouds billowed out all pink and orange, it was like a psychedelic sunset. Olafur Olafursson assumed it was the end of times. How he prayed for the end of times. It had been thirteen long arduous years since his last conversation with a living human. If his faith had not forbidden the practice, he would have taken his own life long ago. Even when the alien craft descended into the frigid valley before him, Olafur believed it to be the work of his God. The hand of the mighty one had come to offer him salvation.
