The Faithful, North African and Middle Eastern Islamic nations, are plotting to seize the oil resources of the Middle East. By controlling the earth's oil and its major trade routes, they plan to bring the world to its knees. Then, when the entire world is kneeling, the Faithful of Allah will read to them from the Koran, preaching the message of Islam, the True Faith. The Faithful will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. But how far will they go? And how many lives will it cost?

Cheering Stuff

Jess' routine wasn't long, maybe five minutes, forming just one part of a fifteen minute routine involving several other skaters. It was meant to be fun but even so she managed to include some pretty technical and intricate moves including a tricky blade walk that left me in awe of her skills. Despite what she'd said earlier there is just no way I could ever do stuff like that.

So here we are again; standard disclaimers apply. And now for a public service announcement.

*holds up a kitten*
My muse has convinced me...that lack of comments de-motivates her. Her whip is put away, and she is pouting.So please, tell me what you like, hate, or are ambivalent about. Tell me I suck. But please, write responses.( I mean really, nothing written in response to a villain idea so old and cliched it has been made into a sy fy movie of the week...multiple times?)

Save small furry creatures from the wrath of the voices in my head.

Thank you.

Voiceless

I must have been voiceless.

How else can I explain that no one heard me screaming?

You, my teacher, who got after me for being distracted.
