April. 24, 2008. One of my best friends form my old school and I start going out. We live in different states, but I don't care. I love her more than anyone else.
Early June, 2008. My love is grounded from the phone, for the entire summer break. I cannot talk to her, but I never forget her. The longer she is grounded, the more I fear that she does not love me anymore.
August, 2008. She is finally ungrounded, and I am incredibly happy, but I am afraid to tell her, because it appears my fears have been realized. It is painfully apparent she has lost the spark. No matter how many times I try to go see her, she always says she is doing something, but we always find time to talk on the phone.
December, 2008. I am crushed. She has fallen in love with another guy. She will not shut up about him, but I am afraid to tell her not to talk about him. I do not want her to hide a part of her life from me. I fear more and more that she loves him more than me.
Late February, 2009. She breaks up with me. I was crushed, beyond all words. I don’t even think she knows. I still wanted to be friends, yet I can't even talk to her because it hurts. She continuously tells me about him, because I am afraid to tell her that it hurts. I just want her to do what makes her happy, regardless of my feelings.
March, 2009. She finds that the man she thought she loved was using her to cheat on his girlfriend, because she looked better than the girl that was his, and his girl was out of town on a missionary trip. She gives him all but what he wants, and I am happy that she wouldn’t.
April 29, 2009. She asked me if I still wanted to go out with her, and I said yes, although I knew that she didn’t love me like I loved her. It was foolish.
Early May, 2009. I find out that she has a crush on my best friend. I make the mistake of three-way calling both of them, and I regretted it. Early the next week, I tried it again, and they said something that I wish hadn’t been said. The next day, I broke up with her. I was tired of the heartache, and I thought I could end it fast. It worked, for one day. Then I regretted it with my whole heart.
June, 2009. I lose contact with both of them for about 2 months.
Early August, 2009. My friend calls me, and within a week, I spend the night at his house. I was so happy to finally have contact with him, and that gave me hope of her calling me.
August 28, 2009. She calls, but it’s not good news. I find out that while I lost contact, that my friend got kicked out of his house, moved in with her, they…did…what boys and girls do when they live together…then my friend got let back into his house. It turns out he got her pregnant.
August 30, 2009. My friend moves in with her, and they are currently engaged. I still love her deeply. It is horrifying, knowing that I can never have her.
September 1, 2009. There was an accident. She was helping move risers for her show choir, and one dropped on her stomach. That same day, her period starred. I was horrified, yet, relieved that she didnt have this to wory about. Her life probably would have been changed for the worse, had this happened. I wish, though, that the baby hadn’t been killed. I don't know what to think
September 2, 2009. My best friend abandons her. He leaves, the day he finds out, and refuses to pick up her calls. I am utterly shocked, and I can’t believe him.
September 6, 2009. I am talking to her for about 2 hours, while my bros play at the park. We start talking about him, because she is depressed. About 30 minutes into the conversation, she is actually very happy. She tells me that I always make her feel better when she is upset, and tells me she still loves me deeply.
September 7, 2009. She breaks up with him, and so I asked her out. I really didn’t care what had happened, because we are together, Even if I haven’t seen her in over 2 years. We plan to go see each other on the 13th.

The Temple
“This way please.”
I snapped out of my daydream, interrupted by the man. I wasn’t even sure what his name was, but I knew he had something important to show me. I was used to this type of thing, not knowing names. It happens in my profession.
“Yes, I know it is impressive, but we must hurry!” He said
I realized that I continued to stare at the large gold statue of the god of light. It’s eyes, made of diamonds the side of my knuckles had something about them, but I couldn’t tell what. Now, however wasn’t the time for such thoughts. I quickly turned to my employer, who had hired me to inspect a series of…unnatural events.
You see, I am a sort of detective. I am not part of any office, or directory you will ever see. I am a freelancer, who is hired for the occurrences that the populace does not want to know about, the supernatural ones. Most people think “ghosts” when they hear supernatural, which is sometimes true. But the reality is that they are only the tip of the iceberg. True supernatural occurrences are things that are not dead, because they never lived. They really do not exist, nor have they ever existed, but they are there.
“Right through here please, watch your head.” He said
I exit the long hall, and enter through a hidden door. The room opens up into a huge, hidden room. But something was wrong. The room had ceilings several hundred feet high, but the building wasn’t even half that height. The room had almost a mile in each direction, including the distance between me and the door I had just stepped through. This was a common sign of the presence of a wraith, or as it was professionally called, Unknown B26. These are extremely powerful, and even more dangerous. I had faced only three of these, and I had only succeeded alone once. This would be very hard.
Just then, my radio came to life. “Did you make it in?”
I pulled my radio out of its holster and said “Yes. You didn’t tell me that it was a wraith. This will cost extra.”
“Fine, fine,” he said “I will pay whatever it takes to preserve the temple. Do you know the historical value of this place?”
“In all truth,” I said, “I could care less, as long as I don’t get killed by this thing.”
I knew there was some big lecture about how foolish I was in its way, but I really didn’t want to hear it, so I shut the radio off. At this point, I decided that it would be a good time to set up shop. I carefully placed my suitcase down next to me, and got out my equipment. There were things that I could never explain in there, because it was so advanced beyond popular perception of modern technology. None of what I would say would sound logical. Just think Ghostbusters proton pack, and you have an extremely basic idea of it.
As I readied myself, I heard the distinctive sound of a wraith scram. It is higher than the pitch of human hearing, so I couldn’t explain it to you. Truthfully, you don’t even hear it. It is heard with your mind, not your ears.
I armed the pack, just in time to see the black cloud approach. The wraiths have no form, it is just a big black cloud with powers we don’t even know of, because no one has ever seen them and lived to tell the tale.
As I waited for it to come into range, I noticed something I had never seen in one of these before. He had a glowing ball floating inside the smoke. I had never heard anyone tell of it before, although I had heard many battle stories between my friends and these. I wanted to know what it was, but this wasn’t the time.
I fired the strange, blue beam, and it went straight through the smoke. I tried again, and it went through the smoke a second time. By this time, I was nervous. Then, I had an idea that I was sure would work. I aimed directly where I saw the light, and fired. It was a direct hit. The beam made a large, near blinding explosion where it had hit.
After the Explosion had ended, I looked to see that the wraith was gone. At that point, I realized that the room was again regular sized. It was maybe the size of a large living room. I had managed to eliminate the wraith.
