Warring Silence
I couldn’t recall the last time I felt exposed. Did I ever feel like this? Maybe by accident. It’s hard to tell, when you’re going through the trenches, filled with blood, sweat and tears. It is always difficult to know the truth when you’re battling for your life. They tell you it’s not a game, it’s hell! They weren’t lying. This was a massacre of unprecedented proportions. I thought I knew what I was getting myself into when I volunteered. It was almost too good to be true. I should have known it was.

WHAT'S IN THE BAG!?
A brown paper bag was set right in front of all the new initiators, including myself. Our host, wearing a stereotypical lab-coat, dark safety glasses, and a mask over their mouth, placed it gently down on the small table in the center of the room. Standing about 5 feet 9 inches tall, with a slender physique, suggesting to me that this is a woman. There wasn’t a thud or crackle of sound made when the bag was placed on the smooth surface of the table. Odd!

Power of a Voice!
Humanity, from the moment we could think, have been creating wonderful and awe-inspiring inventions, art, or literature to satiate that instinct. From the creation of the first “Fire”, to the airplane that allows us to get around the world, NOT in 80 days, but in mere days, has been nothing short of extraordinary. We have even landed a human being on the MOON! The power of creation has propelled humanity to newer heights.
