An ending

Mother Nature....Tick her off and she turns into a witch...

There was no cover up....
There was no body snatching...
There are no conspiracies....

What we have to assess in this situation is the simple understanding that a bomb was tested and because of the political need to rush where wise men fear to tread, a town was overlooked. Right in the middle of meal time, they were vaporised. It was probably not even suprising because it was over before they knew what happened to them: quick and painless. Except for seven cubits of space in which one human was inadvertantly cast against the wall and what remained was what you witnessed with the family as they discovered the awful telltale remains.

Every blast, no matter what the design, will be followed by a sound and thrashing reaction. In this case - the guardians, those who rule and protect the soul and heart of Mother Earth were sent, not to seek revenge, but to ensure that humans would learn from this mistake. And so as people make their way to this town, by accident or by being adventurous, they are chosen.

What does this mean? Simply put, they are led by the spirits to feel and know the unsureness of life. They learn that assumptions, like trying to walk from the town to the diner, or that someone is actually in the town ready to eat them, can be highly misleading. Freshly dug graves are assumed to be a sign that all is not well. An epitaph on one of the graves was very symbolic of the situation. No one cared and no one cried. Past tense. Someone was making sure that people were learning to care now.

Heavy panting in the tunnels, what could it be? What was the man in the jail cell afraid of. Why did he want to be shot first? Think about it. He put forth quite a few theories of what was going on. Maybe he wasn't in trouble for telling; maybe he was in trouble for not learning. Maybe the whole town was a lesson and the town you landed in after was a penance. Maybe the powers that be chose those few that passed through the town to learn from the lessons of the past and as they were learned, they could leave the town. Maybe some never learned and the graves in the old graveyard were for them. Back to the epitaph; maybe that was where the people that did not learn perished.

The crow; a symbol of the order of nature's law, according to indian culture.

Why the secrecy? In order to maintain control. The government once set off a bomb. What would they fight with next? No, you have to change the people that pass through and as the numbers grow, so will the chance of survival for the human race and cohabitation with all things in nature....The fact that the little girl's headphones weren't plugged in, or the boys had no hoop. Material possessions were now sentimental keepsakes, but bodies and minds were now strong enough to surpass moments caught in time. The old man and now the father learned this and thus the quote, "Nice bike" and "Nice car." Sentimentally they were fine objects, but no longer necessary to the psyche.

Just some thoughts to add closure....The one thing that haunts me is that it seems as though the newcomers always arrive in groups of four....hmmmm


Also, the father was meant to see the "sea of glass." Any thoughts on why that might have been?
