Beyond The Hello

Hello! You came early…I still got so much to do.
Hi beautiful. Actually you are not That beautiful at the moment, what are you wearing?
How are you? Still with yesterday’s hangover I suppose!
Now that I’m with you, I’m fine…Fine maybe is not the right word, once my leg still hurts from Sunday’s match! You are not a doctor, so the ache is the same. I missed you so much! After calling you by the name of Julie yesterday I realized that I was not missing you that much…or maybe I dialled your number while I was missing the both of you! Well it happens! I think.
No you didn’t…Right, you were to occupied thinking of Julie. But I did, and you do not imagine how much! That kind of “much” that have killed you and Julie yesterday.
Ah ah…funny! Or not…I really do not imagine how much. Tell me, how was your week? A lot of shopping…Parties all night long…Sleep all day...Did something crazy?
Normal. This weak was great, I had so much fun and you do not even imagine I went to Oporto for three days. If you thought I would be sitting here waiting for you…And yours? Guess what…you were wrong darling!
The same old things, people, places…except Julie!
Nothing new? Not even…hmm…Julie?
No, total boredom! Apart from those three days in Faro with Julie. I really don’t understand how you didn’t notice my absence.
And how about that interview for your new job, how was it? You are so dull that they are only going to hire you if they are really needy or if they do not want to pay much to a new employee…in that case you are their guy!
It was phenomenal, almost for sure that job is mine! They simply love me! If they do not hire me, they are going to regret it. But and if they don’t? I hope they give me the job…maybe I’m not going to make it…she thinks I’m not going to make it, and if she is right?
Really? Don’t make me laugh!
Great…one small talk and I’m not self-assured anymore! Yes…she doesn’t need to know. They looked very impressed with my CV. I’m such a liar! They did not even look at it. I’m doomed!
Hmm hmm…Do you even have one? What is written on it? Your name and phone number?
At least I’m trying to get a job and don’t live on my parents house. You’ll see I’m going to be the editor of that magazine some day! Dreams do not pay income.
Gosh what is that fly doing? Look out for the glass...stupid fly! Wait, what was he saying? I hope so darling! I hope this fits, it usually does.
Well, sorry, but now I have to go…I don’t have to, but I want to. I’m getting sleepy...I’ve so many things to do that I don’t even know where to begin with. Make popcorn and see a movie is probably a good beginning.
Me too! Like get rid of you and sleep until supper!
I have a clue about what you have to do, sleep and eat. See you tomorrow…my “Garfield wannabe”! I’m so funny! Actually you almost have whiskers. She never understands my sense of humour, and once she is the joke, it is better if I shut up. Ok, do not laugh, she is looking at you. Control yourself man! It is time to retreat!
I hope not! Take care sweetie. And say hello to Julie for me!
I need to say something that leaves her thinking. How about…Before I go I would like to say how happy I’m to know we share everything and are free to say whatever comes to our mind. We are one and not two individuals! Did this sound hypocritical? Probably not, she is too smitten with me. Now the big finally…Love you. Or not!
Did he memorize this from a magazine? Try again darling, I know you can do better. I feel the same way. These moments make us grow and be sure that we are perfect for each other! I almost forgot the wonderful cliché…Love you. Do I? Don’t think so, but is better this way, I don’t want to hurt him. Despite the existence of Julie he loves me so much! And maybe she is only his cousin. I’m such a fool! Anyway…who am I kidding? It has nothing to do with the poor girl. Even though our relationship is so honest and pure, I simply do not love him!

Brotherhood of Darkness

Prologue


Everything was quiet at S. Avenue 21 in Los Angeles, USA. But Sarah Connelly, a thirty year-old woman couldn’t sleep. Something was disturbing her. Everytime she tried to close her eyes, she dreamed about her deceased friends, brutally murdered by a group of students of her college. She could see their mutilated bodies with a hole on their chest where once there was a heart. Sarah suddenly woke up:
“Oh my god, please”, she cried, “ when is this going to stop!”
The next morning, Sarah woke up and went downstairs to eat her breakfast. She went to the kitchen and prepared herself a nice bowl of cereals. While she was eating, the doorbell rang.
“Sarah, could you open the door, please?”, her mother shouted upstairs from her bedroom.
“I’m coming!”, Sarah answered.
Sarah opened the door and the mailman delivered her an envelope addressed to her. When she looked at the envelope, she saw that there was no sender. That’s strange!
“Is there any problem, miss?”, the mailman asked
“No, not at all. Everything’s fine. Thank you!”, Sarah answered smiling
After this, Sarah went inside to finish her breakfast. While eating her breakfast, she opened the envelope and inside there was a simple computer written message written on it:
“These walls can’t hold us much longer! Someday we will get out of here and finish what we have started. You must die… You have to die...
The Brotherhood of Darkness shall rise again!”
After reading this Sarah almost choked on her meal. Sarah's eyes widened and the images from the previous night came to her once more. Could it be? Could the assassins of her friends have escaped from prison? Impossible…
The California State Prison, Los Angeles County is one of the most secure prisons in the United States... Sarah was now shaking. She rushed to the living room where her mother was watching TV.
“Mom, let me see Sky News!”, the girl said. “Why dear?”, her mother asked.
“Just do it, ok?”, Sarah yelled at her mother.
“Ok calm down lady!!” This girl keeps getting stranger and stranger.
On the Sky News channel both of them saw live footage of the prison that was holding the five elements of the brotherhood. The reporter said to the camera pointing at him:
“This morning, the guards here at the California State Prison, Los Angeles County found the cells of Brian Phoenix, Michael Phoenix, Mark Bennington, Peter o’Connor and Mathew Redford completely empty as you can see behind me. The warden already gave his men the instructions to follow. The warden also said that….”
Sarah was devastated. She fell to the ground and started to cry and scream. From this moment on she knew it…. She knew that she would die!



Chapter I

Los Angeles, October 10th 2018

My name is Michael Phoenix and I'm thirty years-old. I've been in jail for the past ten years. My brother, my friends and I were arrested for the assassination of our college classmates. Murderers, the judge called us....
The fool doesn't know what he's talking about!! He does not know what it's like...
We were condemned to a lifetime in prison. For crimes that we commited for hatred....and love.


Our story begins ten years ago. We were at the begining of college and Mark invited me and my brother to a party in his place to celebrate the end of high school and the begining of college.

' What truly is logic? Who decides reason? '


Did you know that according to the theory of aerodynamics, and as may well be demonstrated by means of a wind tunnel, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly? Because of its size, weight and shape in relation to its total wingspan, flight should be impossible.

However, the bumble bee, being unaware of these scientific facts but possessing considerable determination, does fly. And makes a little honey, too.

Round 1, FIGHT!


At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash... twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.
