The Mission
Beta Team just got their orders for a very hush-hush mission somewhere. All they know is that when they jump from the Huey chopper to be ready for anything. Be on the lookout for anything out of the ordinary for where you are going one really does not know what is true or false. You, Beta Team, are our last hope in finding a special person. A person that does not know that they are being watched. Your mission is to find this person anyway that you can. We are trying to find a picture but for now just recon.

Ushers at Year End
Here is a nurse working at the end of the year. He is sitting at the nurse's station finishing his charting and listening for call bells if any of the patients need help with anything. He is sitting and he starts to think that is kind of nice, but quite eerie at the same time. This nurse starts to wonder why everything is so quiet, so he gets up and starts to go from room to room, and when he checks all the patient's room, he is thinking about the new year that is just about to start and if he should consider climbing the ladder in nursing.

A Sad and Happy Thanksgiving
The dinner is ready, and no one showed up. You wonder why, but you have no answer. No one had to bring anything you had the main course and all the sides of a variety as well as all kinds of desserts and drinks. No one calls either. You begin to wonder again and check your phone for any messages and still nothing. You decide to go ahead and make your own Thanksgiving plate and say a prayer of grace and thanksgiving for one did show up for he is the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Happy Thanksgiving to me.

What a Thanksgiving?
Like a discarded fallen old leaf for this is how I feel most of time on this holiday known as Thanksgiving. No one really says "Happy Thanksgiving" to me. I sit and listen, but I have nothing to add to anyone conversation for they all have memories that I do not have. They go out and I join, but they always head back into the house. I really do not fit in down here. I feel alone in a crowd of family. I would rather be totally alone that alone in a crowd. Alone in a crowd is just horrible.
