Chapter Four
			       The Last 24 Hours
	It started in the future. Just imagine going 120 years into the future.
Where they have travelled to the moon and man has machines that they get
in and fly in. I live in a city called Tulsa. It's in the state of Oklahoma. I have
three brothers and two sisters. The oldest is Ike. He's the one that is writing
the science fiction novel. Science fiction is a kind of writing. It's about aliens
and space, the stars and planets and the discovery of new life forms. the next
one is Taylor. He has the strangest personality. One minute he can be really
quiet and shy and then five minutes later he can be really happy and hyper.
Hyper is a word that means really excited and talkitive and really just
active. The thing about the three of us is we formed a band. that's a group
that plays music. Any ways the last few years we have been trying to make it
big and we fianlly got a deal to make an album which is a way to make a
certain songs availible for everyone to buy and listen to. So we made our
album and we got really famous. Lots of girls around your age think we're
really good looking and are crazed fans. So we were taking a short break
between going on tours and we got kidnapped and we eventually got back
and Taylor had a girl that he knew for a long time having romantic realtions
with her. He and Ike were alwyas close but they seemed closer than ever. Ike
took me to this place so I would be out of the way when Taylor goes on his
little trip to here people play violins and cellos. I was upset and wished that I
could have a new life and that I didn't fell so left out I even wrote this little
poem:
All alone
In a world full of gloom
Isolated like an unexplored island
All alone
Always chosen last for a game of kickball
A no one, like a nonentity in a rooom full of celebrities
All Alone
No one to have a fiendly shoulder to cry on
A desolate cactus on the westernt desert landscape
All Alone
Waiting for an outstretched hand to give your world a boost
All Alone, like the Velveteen rabbit, a child's playtoy aimlessly tossed aside
	
	Well when Ike took me to this place I felt sort of sick and the world
seemed to twist then come back into focus. Then in the middle of this game
we were playing it twisted again and I ended up here. 120 years in the past. I
met this man, who will be known infamously in history as Billy the Kid. I
went to get new clothes and met you, had dinner and then I got sick and now
I'm here talking to one of the kindest people I've ever met. And to answer
you're question about Charter, it's a place where they put people who they
think are crazy.
