From: "Julie Burnham" Subject: "Kalle part 27" (1/1) by Julie Burnham Date: Wed, 24 Jun 1998 11:58:38 +0000 Finally, another Kalle! And this one's even *about* Kalle! Kalle 27 by Julie Burnham Disclaimers, et al in previous parts. Dedication - Ali Laker for nagging me until I got off my lazy butt to actually finish writing this part. Thanks. ------ Journal Entry - Kalle Sheridan We found the wreckage of some more lifepods. Unfortunately, there weren't any more survivors. Erika thinks we'll never get out of here alive. My mother always told me, "Faith manages." I have faith that we'll get home. If you believe you can do something, you can. If you believe you can't do something, that belief also comes true. Always have faith in what you can do, because faith really does manage. So far, we haven't found anyone native to this place. We did, however, find some metallic parts that might be useful in building something that could get us out of here. We have ourselves our own little version of the Universe here. We're exploring everything here, but it's a bittersweet symphony; sweet because of all the new things to learn, bitter because of the pain that comes with the process of constantly being born. Oscar broke his foot yesterday, so we're making him stay off of it in the hopes that it will heal on its own. None of us here has the medical expertise to properly set his foot, and I've learned through Uncle Steven that if you don't have the ability, don't pretend to have it. You could end up hurting the patient far worse by doing that. Jake's been really nice to me lately. For that matter, so has Vince. The only person not really nice to me has been Oscar. I think he just misses his home though, which is understandable. It's getting too dark to see. Hopefully we can find some beeswax so that we can make candles so we can see and get some work done after dark. And so it begins. ------ [END]
