Island In The Sand
Part VIII
Star stared at the complex design of the underground railroad and power station. She wondered if it was even more than that, but her imagination could barely take in what they’d found already, much less even more. There was one question she had to ask of vital importance before they could do anything else, and everything depended upon the answer and then the machine’s assistance. The children were still outside the dome, left unguarded and unprotected. She breathed in and out deeply and then decided not to frame what they needed in the form of anything but an order.
“Open the entrance we came in through,” she instructed in a clear firm tone.
Thank you for sharing.
When “yes” requires specificity, and no doesn’t require a compulsory explanation! Trust might become as simple as turning a machine on or off…thankfully, whoever programmed this machine left room for some fuzzy warm logic to go along with cold calculation!…This story has a lot of heart, Jim! As well as plenty of incentive and motivation as for why our leader needs to keep hers…open! I’m captured! I really, really look forward to the next chapter! Right now, however, I believe I’m gonna see what more I’m able to learn about the Legacy Project! Thanks for the diversion, Jim! Somehow I think it’ll keep a majority of us, on track! Semper Fi
Thanks for the deep and sincere interest in this story and the material surrounding it Dennis!
As usual…

Jim
Yes James, God. God loves you very much, He has protected you, He has performed a miracle for you, He has provided a safe place for you to feel solace, He has given you strength to face your worst fears, He has given you a gift since birth to write beautiful stories, and now He has set you on a path to heal so many others while healing yourself.
God only needed the fauth of a tiny seed from you to show you His enormous faith in you.
I love God and I love what He has done for you and through you.
You are blessed James Strauss.
Prayers and love for you.
Stay strong,
Nancy
Your rendition of your truth the way you see it finds itself falling on fertile ground.
thanks for what you say and do Nancy and thanks be to God that He sent you to interpret and
keep me heading for true north…
Semper fi,
Jim
No James God is the one to thank, I’m just a pebbler to tell you how much God loves you and to encourage along your way.
Prayers for you always,
Nancy
As always thank you so much for your sanity and prayers, Nancy
Jim
Think we have all read or heard stories about places like this. Many swear it is all science fiction. Thank you for the guided tour of your mind.
The place is real. It is under the labs known as Los Alamos. I do not know it the facility is still there, however, as I was
down there in the very early nineties. Interesting place and I created the story around it…
Semper fi,
Jim
Semper fi brother take care i’m with you
Glad you are in my corner…or inside the wire, as we used to say…
Semper fi,
Jim
spend some time as LP inside the wire
Well, there’s that, not that I really understand…
Thanks for the comment,
Semper fi,
Jim
Been wondering about you. Hoping u hadn’t stroked out on us or something. lol glad hear from you. PS dig the world your living in. Tell me more
Hampton, the segment is up. Thanks for worrying about me and caring about the story.
Semper fi,
Jim
Love, love, love this story. Thank you so much for sharing and your brilliant writing.
Nancy
Thank you so very much Nancy. I am glad you are enjoying it. Fun to write too…
And the place where almost all of it takes place really exists, with nobody down there anymore…although
I presume the nuclear plant is still running.
Semper fi,
Jim
Tell me more about it. Was the. This plant far exceeds any in Texas, I know of.
Yes, it does exceed anything you have every heard of or know about. Very very few people know about the rabbit warren of the underground tunnels and tech areas deep underground in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Not classified information. Just unknown except among a very small group of people who don’t generally talk about it at all. Blow away interesting though and fun to retrace old footsteps in my mind. It was called ‘The Legacy Project.”
Semper fi,
Jim
James another man wrote about some interesting things that happen in those tunnels. Do you know about that? Also, who runs the nuclear plant and keeps it safe?
I do not know. I was only in the tunnels most of one day. I was guided by a physicist who had the run
of the entirety of the lab facilities there. He was old and sort of off his rocker but totally brilliant even then.
He acted like I should know about everything I was seeing. There was nobody at the spherical plant when I was there.
It was just running. It had the first voice response and touch screen in existence at the time, or so I thought.
I presume it all there and still running. I have not been back since 1992 so it’s been a long time.
Thanks for caring and writing about it…

Jim
Sometimes Nancy, when I lay in bed at night and can’t sleep I close my eyes and take myself back there.
It has this sleep inducing quality to it. Like there is real safety there, even though I am not unsafe where I am.
Warmth, maybe. I don’t know.
Semper fi,
Jim
James, I am glad you have this place in this story where you can go in your mind and feel totally safe and peaceful. Writing this story as you finish up Thirty Days in September is a totally awesome ideal.
Praying for you always,
Nancy
Thanks for the thoughts this morning Nancy. Yes, its funny where we find momentary respite from a fearful world.
It’s also kind of strange that we have little control over those things that end up providing that kind of succor and solace.
Unlikely that writing these two books simultaneously could work to help each and then me in the process….
God.

Jim
