Mississippi Sapphire
CHAPTER 1: Great Aunts, Nanoo and Tee Tee: Twins Sapphire was a nickname given to me by my great aunt Nanoo in Arcola, Mississippi in 1974. She got the name from a TV show in the 70s. I learned later in life that Sapphire was a an image portrayed by black women in film, shows like Amos and Andy, as a sassy, smart-alec, taking no stuff, stubborn, hateful, or even as they say, "a bitch". Where I lived then was called the Quarters. The Quarters was a row of ten red houses. I was only three years old and I have vivid memory of my early years growing up in Mississippi. I felt that my aunt Nanoo and Tee Tee wanted me to be their guardian even at 3yrs of age. My other aunts, uncles, and cousins lived in the other red row houses in the Quarters. It was a village and I felt comfortable in it and it felt so safe. It was a village of love for me. I remember so much from my childhood in Arcola, Mississippi. My great Aunts, Nanoo and Tee Tee were twin sisters. Tee Tee had chin hairs and we actually thought she was a man but later in life, me and my sisters believed she was to be a butch or dike or something of that nature. They would sit in the living room a lot in their twin black leather huge reclining lazy boy chairs. They owned a floor model TV and it was huge. They'd sit there watching TV all day. I recalled running to their house all the time. I even stepped on that giant bee running from house to house and I got stung too. I pulled out the black flat stinger. I still remember to this day, or I'd step on a fire ant farm and they'd start crawling all over my legs and I'd get bit. I even stepped on an old board with a nail sticking up and got hurt. All this from running house to house. Yes, there was blood, but I was OK. I even remember making mud pies with my sisters. One cup of water mixed with 2 cups of dirt. Then shape the mud pie like a biscuit and put it in the sun to bake. Then we had mud pie. I also found a turtle one day and I kept that turtle as a pet. I was young and I put the turtle in a big rectangular trunk that was full of clothes and guess what? It died. I didn't even know turtles needed water. I just knew I had a pet. Now, going back to my great Aunt Nanoo and Tee Tee house, I remember sitting in front of the TV. I loved watching their floor model TV. I'd sit right in front of the TV as if I was Carol Ann from the movie Poltergeist. They would sit in those black chairs right behind me; watching over me and I felt safe. I love and miss my aunt Nanoo and Tee Tee.

Xonda's Green Light
Jzohn had to find that Trexdi before the end of the day. He knew he needed to get back to his home on Planet Xonda before sundown. Xonda was a planet known for its resources of fine stones. Each stone correlated to the parts on a person's body. The stones were, turquoise, garnets, peridots, moonstones, emeralds, and quartz, and many many more. Jzohn knew he'd have to worker harder to catch up with the schedule of mining on Xonda and to make for the time away. He loved living and working on the planet Xonda. He felt safe. His work on Xonda entailed laying the precious stones into the life source grail for the safety of planet Xonda. Every inch of Xonda's ground, buildings, or environment had to be inlaid with the precious stones. The stones ensured that the Ghoke would not enter into Xonda's atmosphere. The Ghoke is a Death Air; and the stones would weaken the Ghoke's grip tremendously and keep the Ghoke away.
