“You think Hawaii still exists?” Alistair laughed then turned around as his mom came out with David and Charlie. They hugged each other and said their goodbyes but this time there were no tears, just smiles.
“Stay out of trouble guys. And David, stop hitting on that girl from Epsilon, she’s got a crush on Charlie,” Alistair warned.
Charlie grinned then let out a little laugh. David shoved him in the back and they ran off, chasing each other. Alistair’s mom screamed after them then turned back to Alistair.
“Remember,” she started. “This is work. Not a honeymoon for you two.”
Alistair groaned. “I know. So, don’t you and Thomas get too cozy while we’re out.”
Melinda cut her eyes then turned and hugged Ashley. “Keep an eye on him.”
Ashley smiled and stepped back then looked up at the sky. She narrowed her gaze and tried to stare through the gloomy clouds that hung overhead. Sighing she mumbled, “They never thought we’d make it.”
“What?” Melinda asked.
“They left us down here to die. They left us.”
“She’s right,” Chloe added. “Those assholes are somewhere up there.”
“But we did make it,” Daniel replied. “And we’re rebuilding this place, so who cares about them.” He wrapped his arm around Chloe and pulled her close. “This time, it’ll be different.”
Chloe leaned into him and took a deep breath. She stared into the clouds and frowned. “Do you think they’ll ever come back?” she asked.
Daniel shrugged then looked at Alistair. “What do you think?”
Alistair sighed and rubbed his face. “I think…I think sooner or later, everybody comes home.”

About the Author
The date was October 31, 1979. The air was cool, and a light fog blew in from the gulf, cloaking the Tampa area in an ominous, tight-fitting tunic. The annual Halloween festivities had just begun, and a night of mischievous tomfoolery was afoot.
Scandalous and nefarious characters took flight. Doorbells were rung, and ill-boding tricks were played regardless of the treats given. This was the dark reality of the bustling Florida metropolitan.
To the north, Grateful Dead crooned the night's theme music at the Nassau Coliseum. Within earshot of the concert, witnesses stated a UFO hovered over the grounds for thirty minutes before vanishing.
At the same time the Cromarty's were busy hosting their notorious Halloween party at 112 Ocean Ave., better known as the Amityville Horror House. Screams and cries for help were reported throughout the night, punctuated with the disappearance of the family next door. They were never heard from again.
Unknowingly altering the course of history, Kurt Vonnegut released "Jailbird" the same week KISS gained infamy on The Tomorrow Show. The aftermath of this collision would not be felt for decades until the emergence of Justin Bieber.
After a night filled with mayhem and destruction and the deaths of several prominent entertainers, politicians and a notorious bank robber, the Federal government was forced to loan $1.5 billion dollars to Chrysler. This spurred a series of violent protests, resulting in the Brunah Agate oil spill. Over 10.7 million gallons of oil were dumped into the Galveston Bay. This became the worst oil spill disaster in U.S. history.
A few hours later, on November 1, 1979, Rashad Freeman was born. Feel free to draw your own conclusions.
