April 13th, 2010 at NOON The twelve of us stand there, as we watch Michael let in twelve of his own friends. He has us line up on the wall. He then goes and gets a bunch of Walmart bags. He proceeds to pass them to each of us. They are filled with: a first aid kit, 20 oz bottle of water, 2 travel kleenex packs, 5 travel advil packs, one sleeping pill, one roll of Ritz crackers, 2 cans of tuna, an apple, a banana and a book of rules. Michael then points to the stairs. We take them one at a time and it leads us to the doorway of the space craft. Mary, the co-pilot, is there to greet and welcome us. *smile* "Welcome aboard, folks. Please find your luggage and pet, if you happen to have a bird or a cat. Then, please step to my right. Thanks!" Meanwhile, Michael is bringing in, yet another twelve friends of mine and his. The whole procedure is just constantly repeated, until we are all standing in the foyer of the ship. They then proceed to close the doors behind us. What a feeling! The room alone is massive. You could never reach the ceiling and forget about finding the doors, they blend into the spaceship. It's amazing! =) Mary has us gather around her, while Michael goes thru the doors behind her. She tells us the procedure that is needed to be followed for order and for safety. We listen carefully. "In a moment, I will call twelve of you from Debbie's group and twelve of you from Michael's group. I will lead you out into the next section, where Michael will lead you further. In the meantime, please make yourself comfortable on the floor. I know this will be difficult, but please try. Inside your Walmart bags you will find the rule books. They will help you to understand what to do and what not to do. In your rooms you will find four pairs of shoes. These are lift shoes for when we are in space. Michael will further explain. Now to call the names, so that we might get going. Time is running short." She calls the twenty-four names and we proceed into the next section. The door then slides shut behind us. The inside of the craft is even better, than the foyer and outside. Michael then welcomes us and again we make ourselves comfortable on the floor. He proceeds to hand us the floor plans of the ship. He then explains them step by step. "Now that you fully understand the floor plans and what each floor contains, I will move you onward. Debbie, your group will travel up these stairs to the left of us. You will go up to the 21st floor. My group will proceed up to the 18th floor. Once on your floor, PLEASE take a seat on the floor. My father will be along to help explain things further. I know it's a long way up there, but I assure you it won't be so hard once we are out in space." The stair climbing is quite exhaust- ing, but we manage to make it to my floor. There on the floor is a giant 21 in the center of a large marbled circle. It is quite spectacular. =) Little by little the rest of my group appears .. even the children. That makes 80 so people on my floor. WOW! We sit and wait for Michael's father to show up and explain to us life here. Get Your FreeWeb Pages
