False light

8:00 P.M. The crowds on the beach were in a festive mood. Thousands had gathered for the big show and the Comet Roman was not disappointing. The comets colors kept shifting as the sunlight hit the giant ball of ice. It had taken on a reddish purple hue and the crowd cheered as the first of the meteorites streaked across the sky.

A man is trudging through the unkempt grass looking around awe, despair, or maybe even a sense of nostalgia. As far as the eye can see, there are countless rows of engines and propellers removed from fallen warbirds. The rows were neat and aligned just like tombstones, though there positioned side by side, each row is separated by a wide, clear pathway. One who sauntered through these aisles could feel dwarfed by either the sheer size of the scraps or by the tragedy that each piece signified.…

Silly poems and deep, dark truths are the world of Shel Silverstein. The lights in the attic always seem to be on; however, if one takes a hard look at Silverstein’s work, one must look beyond the lights in the attic to delve through the rest of the house to come up with a whole picture of who Shel Silverstein was. As with most authors, the face put forward in public for consumption rarely matches the behind-the-scenes person who keeps personal secrets away from society. All understand this…

I had a Beretta Ballista that shoots a .308 Lapua Magnum so I could shoot long distances and Alex had a AR-15 that shoots a 5.56*.39. I was in the deep woods in a treestand and Alex was just about 20 yards away in a ground blind. I saw some movement in the distance but it was very dark at night with no…
