Who Do You See?

Life has challenges but those challenges bring strength. Through life we have trials that help us grow. I've heard somewhere that "What we do in our daily lives will affect not only our future but the next generation. Having that knowledge people are careful with what they do so that their children and grandchildren and so on will have a good or better future."
      When we look into the mirror what do we see? Do we see a strong spirited man or woman or do we see someone who just goes with the flow and lets things happen? We can choose who we wanna be but make sure that you're not thinking of only yourself. Make sure your thinking of those around you and of you're family. This is why life is good, we have people to take care of and to teach and help grow, we live in a free country and have the right to choose for ourselves.  Though we may not see it we have a pretty good future ahead of us. Just remember who do you see when you look into the mirror?

SNGP The First of Many By Taylor Crofoot

Intro-

  Have you ever felt like you were from a different world? Or have been surrounded but ignored? All of us feel these things sometimes; it’s just a matter of life. I’ve always known I was different but when I was little I felt like a freak. You see I have these “gifts” that I call “The Eight Senses.” Along with all my five senses I have three others that I classify as senses.
         I have powers that can make me turn invisible; shoot fire out of my hands, read minds, and do any type of fighting when needed. I also have elephant hearing or 20/20 hearing.

-The Beginning of the Day-

My name is Jennifer and I work for an organization called the Significant Naturally Gifted Police… or SNGP for short. But what we do however, is not the boring stuff that regular police do like LAPD. And the name is a cover up for what we really are. We are the ACIA (American Crime Investigator Association).  What we do is try to stop things before they get into action by making a compromise or stop things before they get any worse.
         Right now we are trying to stop terrorist from taking and killing our countries citizens. We have lost over 1,000 people so far and maybe even more. And it’s our job to stop it. Whatever it takes.



Port Building
-ACIA-

We are in an abandoned building located in La Mesa, Ca.
 Outside it’s a dumped but inside it’s all high tech with the 22 century. But enough of that we are in a crisis here people! No time for tours! I stop typing my email to the head of our department and take a sip of my coffee.
         “Jennifer.” I look up to see the man in charge Captain Maink. Ugh I hate that guy so much I wish I could just give him a deck in the face. “Gather your team and report to the conference room immediately.” sighing I get up and head to the compute room where my team is trying to locate the place where the terrorist headquarters are. “Tyler, TJ, Mike. Maink needs us in the conference room now.”
 They get up and we start heading to where we are needed.
        

         -Conference Room-

“Maink. What’s the news on the terrorist?” I say as we come through the door. “There is a problem with that Jenn, because it look as if you might have to use your powers after all. You see the thing is we have discovered why these ‘terrorist’ are hard to catch.” I nod confused. “And what would that be?”
         “They turn invisible and their captives with them. We have classified them as Manijas. They have secret underground tunnels that lead to there headquarters.  “So what you want me to do is?”
“ What I want you and your team to do is become one of them for cover and try to stop them from within.” I think okay I am officially going to die along with my team. “Are you crazy!”
“ Maybe I am but it’s the only way to stop them. “
  “But…” He intercepts me, “You report to Airline 2.” He starts to walk away. “How? That thing has been dead for decades.” He turns around, smiles and hands me a card. “Use this then.”
