trilogy by Beth Hoyer. One was the Edenia book, one was a notebook material and the other book was another notebook. I checked the notebooks. One was a biography book on Sue's life in the twentieth century and her life on Terra. The other was an autobiography book on Sue. She and Sean had two kids, Sharon and Brandon. Kurt paid her child support payments of three hundred credits a week. Wow. It's like a divorce. The book talked about her being a perfectionist. It was interesting learning about Sue. I'm very shocked to learn that she lived to be one hundred years old before death. Her husband Sean lived to be ninety. One of her grandchildren is named Elizabeth. I think its fine. As for the baby Kurt fathered, she had a baby boy named Sean. Bruce is reading book number two in the Hoyer Trilogy book. I'm still reading the autobiography book. I think I stop writing and read more about Sue. I'm surprised that there's a book on Sue. Francesca came to bring us downstairs to the dinning room. Jella looks like she's pregnant again. I asked her if she was pregnant. She told me she wasn't. I think she's lying. Francesca glared at her. Lunch was yellow goo and yellow drink. I asked Francesca for the bathroom. She led me up the stairs in the narrow hallway to a door and opened it. It was a bathroom with a shower stall. There was a twentieth century feel to the bathroom. There were towels in a closet in the bathroom. I rejoined the group for lunch. Jella is pregnant. She went into labor. The baby is a boy named Jelly. What a weird name. Francesca took the baby and went out of the room. She came back with out the baby. I wonder where the baby? I think we're not the only ones in the house. I suspect there are cameras. I'm feeling cameras in the room. I think we're being watched. I can't explain it. It's giving me a creepy feeling. After lunch Rani carried Jella to their room. Their room is across the hallway from Bruce and me's room. Bruce is reading book number two. I'm almost through the book. I hope to finish it soon. I'm taking a break from reading it. I'm a little bit bored. I feel I'm on fire. I have to have sex with Bruce. I got to tear him away from the book. Maybe Francesca could give me something for the fire feeling. Bruce ignored my sexual advances on him. He was so engrossed in the book. I undid his pants. Francesca came with a needle gun. She told me she has something for my cravings. She gave me a shot and my fire like feeling went away. I felt much better. Then I read more about Sue. They finally mentioned she was born on Earth and about her catching a disease from Kurt and being put to sleep until cured. I'm surprised about this. It was very interesting. I finally finished the book. Bruce is halfway through the Hoyer trilogy. Bruce finished the book. His eyes are flaring yellow. I can't figure out how he does that. I asked him in sign language why his eyes were like that. He explained he smelled smoke. Oh boy. I wonder what the heck is going on. I undid the boarded up window. I looked outside to see people on the field. They were shooting laser guns and killing each other. Ugh. I put the board back on the window. It was disgusting. Maureen came and told us to come with her. I put my diary in my pocket. We followed her out the room. She knocked on Jella and Rani's door. No answer. The she opened the door. The board was off the window. The glass looked like it was smashed. We looked out the window to see Jella and Rani running into the forest. Maureen brought us downstairs to the dining room. We entered the room to meet guns aimed at us. Men in military fatigues stood aiming their laser guns at us. We put our hands up. The men hauled us outside. Bruce's eyes flared yellow. I don't know about my eyes. The men shot Bruce in the heart with a laser gun. It seemed to do nothing to Bruce. He only flinched. Then they shot me in the heart and it didn't do a thing to me. The gun stings ouch. The men tied our hands behind us. Then they hauled the both of us to a horse drawn cart. The cart looked like it was made in the nineteenth century. Bruce and I were forced onto the cart. I looked behind to see men in military fatigues shoot Christian and Maureen in the chest with their laser guns. I think Maureen and Christian are dead. I saw them fall to the ground. I feel very sad. I can't believe it. The cart was driving by a military man who drove the cart to town. The town was similar to the town Bruce and I stayed on the other continent. In the distance I could see crystal spires. I'm sure this planet is not Terra. The buildings looked like they were made out of wood. It was like a nineteenth century western town.

  The cart stopped in front of the building that said "Jail".

  The building was two stories tall. They undid our ropes and then hauled us in separate cells. The jail was a big room with a hallway full of six jails on both sides. The rooms were metal bars and a window outside. Bruce and I got back to back jails. Bruce's eyes stopped flaring yellow. We were given bread and water to eat. I ate pretty fast. Bruce and I signed to each other. A man wearing a black pants and brown turtleneck top watched us. I'm sure he tried to get our attention. I waited until he left to pull out my diary. I started writing in here. Bruce is reading one of the books he has on him. He hid it on himself. I wonder will we get out of here. I feel that Jella and Rani are lucky that they escaped. The guard is back.

  Dear Anne,

  I can't sleep. There's light from the office shining and light from outside the shining. Bruce is leaning against his bars in his cell. He's pulling and yanking the bars. I wonder why we are here. The Guard as I mentioned came back and got our attention. He gave us papers with notes on it. We're being charged for the murder of three people Francesca O’Conner, Maureen Kingly and Christian Kingly. Hmph. I think the guy was right when he told us about Amula being blamed for crimes we didn't commit. The note added we are being hanged at noon tomorrow.

  Today is tomorrow. I have a few hours to live. I wonder if I could sleep. Bruce is attacking the wall. The wall is metal brick. I hope we'll be fine. I really hope hanging us won't kill us. It's a good thing they didn't search us. I would have been embarrassed if they found my diary. I'm glad that my pockets are padded. Bruce is having no luck on the wall. He faced the ceiling and yelled. I better hide this journal before a guard shows up. I fell asleep. I woke up when I felt water splashing on my face. I woke to see the guard with a bucket. My face got wet. He woke me up at I don't know what time it is. I found my watch was gone. I think they took it. I'll miss my watch. The guard left my cell and went to Bruce and poured water on his face. It woke him up. Bruce attacked the guard who shot a laser gun at his private part area. Bruce grimaced in pain and sat on the bed. The cell has a bunk bed made out of wood. The guard left us. I'm looking out the window. I can see a house. I'm sure it's the same house I was in. The sun is quite high in the sky. What a rhyme. I think our execution is coming by. I don’t know how they'll hang us. Bruce is reading a book. He's halfway through it. A guard came. The guard told us we're to be hanged in an hour. Oh boy. I waited until the guard left for me to write in here. I'm very sad that my life is ending. I wonder what heaven is like. I don’t know if I could go to heaven. I hope Bruce is they're waiting for me. Bruce is still reading the book. I have an hour to live. I hope hanging can't kill us. I wonder what Bruce and I can do after being dead. I don’t know. I wonder what I could do about this journal. I could have someone keep it for me. I don't know. The sun is high in the sky. There are people wearing black pants and a brown turtleneck. Bruce and I are wearing blue coveralls. I can see a ship in the sky flying by. Well the guard is here.

  Yours,

  Elizabeth

  Dear Anne,

  I'm still alive. I can't believe it. The guard escorted us to the middle of the town. The town is like a western town. There was a hanging gallows in the middle of the town. I saw there was only one hanging stand. They led Bruce up the stand and put the noose on him. Then the guard pulled the lever and the rope holding Bruce's neck snapped in two. I looked to see a sinister helicopter ship appear above us. It fired on the gallows. The fire was like a laser beam. Bruce ran off the gallows and we ran to the woods. Several people blocked our way. They surrounded us and then the ship fired lasers at them. I heard a voice telling me to go straight ahead into the woods. I grabbed Bruce's hand
and we ran to the woods. In the woods the people refused to follow us. We hid behind a tree. Bruce and I let passion consume us. We wound up having sex. I can't believe it. We lay there asleep. I woke up and it was night time. Yellow eyes surrounded us as a Sakul appeared and gestured for us to follow him. I think it was a him. We followed the Sakul up a mountain and to the top. In the moon light I could see a large valley. The Sakul led us down the mountain to a cave. We went inside the cave. The cave was similar to the cave on Edenia. There were torches lighting the cave. We reached a door. The Sakul gestured with his black clawed hand and the door opened to show a cafeteria. I saw Jella and Rani there. They waved hi. We waved hi back. I told them about seeing Maureen and Christian shot. Jella confirmed that she saw this happen too. It was very sad that it happened. Jella was nursing Jelly. Ranijell and Annie were there being babysat by Sakul. The Sakul led us to a hallway to a door and opened it. Insider was a huge cave. It was seemly vast. There were rows of cribs with babies in them. The Sakul gestured
