Beyond the Bermuda Triangle 9. July 2006


Jim was flying his
lear jet over Cuba on his flight to Brazil. He was a representative of
a coffee company in Florida who was checking on companies in South
America. All of a sudden all his gages were malfunctioning and he was
loosing control of his plane....


...He found out a bird had hit one of the engines...

...Suddenly, the plane started to dive!

...The engine sputtered and choked as it tried to stay alive...

...As
his plane spiraled down out of control Jim spotted a flash of emerald
and tan through the clouds. As his plane sank lower he realized it was
an island in a part of the ocean where no island should be.

...Was his fantasy becoming true?

...What fantasy was that?

...The island was incased in a fog or clouds. Soon his plane floated down. Till it reached the island.

...The
fatiague from such a disorienting experience had caused Jim to question
his perception of his surroundings.Could it be?......could that really
be a Chuck E Cheese in the distance?

...Jim had dozed off and woke hours later on the island and his plane was no where in site. No wreckage whatsoever.

...He saw the Chucky Cheeser again and discovered that the island fabricated marages of what ev er you think about.

"What strange place is this?" Jim thought. "Whatever one thinks about, the Island creates a mirage of it. "

Suddenly
it occured to him that such a situation could lead to trouble. What if
he were thinking of something that led to a dangerous or even deadly
mirage?

He hardly had time to think about that last question
when a shudder surged throughout his body. Was he now seeing things?
What was his last thought? He didn't have time to wonder any longer.
Something was moving in the distance. Something big. And it was coming
his way.....

The very idea that Jim could manifest his own best
or worst fears intrigued Jim.For to even dread the worst meant he must
at least revisit that minefield of emotions.

the ground
trembled, the trees shook in the distance... it reminded him of the old
king kong movie... coconuts were falling everywhere... BOOM! earth
geysered! BOOM! BOOM! ROARRRRrrrrr! The giant ape retreated in anger!
the coconuts were setting off land mines! jim thought "oh this is just
dandy" and forced himself to think of 'good' thoughts...

But no
matter how hard he tried, the huge ape just wouldn't disappear. Land
mines continued to explode as coconuts continued to fall. Suddenly,
another huge creature appeared in the distance. "How can that be?"
thought Jim. "I wasn't thinking of a creature of any kind!" Then just
as suddenly, the huge ape disappeared and the explosions ceased. But
the beast in the distance grew bigger and bigger as it came closer and
closer.

"This is madness!" Jim screamed as he desparately
thought of peceful things. A quiet stream running through the valley
appeared. That was Jim's thought. But the beast wasn't. And then it
suddenly occured to Jim. Not only was he not alone, but the thoughts of
others became a reality to him as well! It was one thing to control his
own thoughts but the thoughts of another? Impossible.

And then
he saw the other. The person was running towards him with the beast
following. They were too far away to tell if it was a man or a woman.
But whoever it was, the beast was chasing after them. And both of them
were running straight towards Jim.

Then,all at once Jim sensed a
presence from behind.The ape had returned and was running its fingers
through his hair while making grunting sounds.In an act of defiance Jim
swung around and screamed at the top of his lungs "get your stinkin
paws off me you dirty Ape."

THUMP...THUMP...THUMP...THUMP... Jim
looked up at a placid Kong... SCREAM! They both looked towards the
high-pitched SCREAM source but saw the T-Rex first! It was bearing down
on a golden haired slight woman in a flowing flimsy white wrap, who
gathered herself and dove into the deep blue stream...

Jim pointed- Well don't just stand there king! Go save her! Help her!

The
giant ape ROARED and sprang forward covering ground fast and low...
almost losing Jim as he jumped on and clung on to the ape's hairy calf
with both hands...

The T-rex skidded to a stop on the thick green verge at the stream and BELLOWED a challenge back!

"Bawkkkkkkkkk
Bawwaakkkkk" Scarlet comes running through the trees, arms up above her
head sheilding herself from the swooping Pteranodons. Her white guaze
dress snags on a stump and tears at the hemline.


Glancing
all around she turns and runs directly toward a figure in the distance.
The Pteranodon drops even lower and nips a bit of her hair, he swooshes
upward shuffling a breeze and a clasp of blond tresses hangs lightly
out of his clenched bill. Grabbing at her scalp she steps up her pace
and screams a bit.. but, exhaustion soon took over and she collapsed
onto the ground.. Looking up she swings her hand to shield her eyes and
stares directly into the eyes of.....

a tiny field mouse.

Out from the woods comes a Fox with a few mouse traps and sets them around the island.

But
that tricky little mouse isn't about to be fooled by the mouse traps.
He's seen them before and knows how to avoid them. Meanwhile, the mouse
is occupied staring back into the eyes of the stranger.
