- Hello?
- Hum h-hello, Nathan?
- Ah Patience, thanks for calling.
- Yes well, I certainly.. owe you that much f-for saving my life, al-although Im m not s-sure what you… expect me to…
- I talked to the others and I know there are more of those things out there.
- Those, uh th-things you say?
- You know what I mean. The Eaters? Your flesh eating kidnapers?
- Enough!
- …
- Sorry, habit. Hmm. Ass-ssuming you are.. right, what do you expect me to do exactly? Im… just a nurse.
- Just a nurse huh? By the way I talked to Sarah recently, she said that the doctors are all dazzled by her incredible recovery. They say she should have bled to death before she reached help, and that when I talked to her in the ER she should have been deeply asleep. They were amazed. A real miracle. You wouldn’t know anything about that would you?
- Do not talk about miracles s-so lightly. Faith can d-do a… lot.
- Ah yes, but here faith had a helping hand. Have you noticed anything unusual about you recently? Related to your care of patients.
- . I.. Huh. I d…dont know where you are going with this.
- Where Im going is that there are other eaters out there and they need to be stopped. I’m trying to get a group together. If you can do what I believe you can do you would be a huge help to us.
- I appreciate what you are doing, Mr Nathan, I truly do, but I have a husband and five kids and more patients than I can shake a stick at and I will not drop all of this to go hunting demons with you. I am not a warrior.

- I should have worked on my pitch, I assumed that it would be easy to convince you guys.
- You c… You called Seren too?
- Yes she rejected my offer.
- I am s-sorry Mr Nathan but I c… really can’t… help you. My husband threw a f-fit when he opened your package. I am still trying to ca- to calm him down, he thinks I’m in trouble.
- Maybe he should learn boundaries, that package had your name on it, not his.
- I d’… I dont appreciate your lessons.
- Ok fine, whatever. Just remember that the eaters kidnapped you on purpose and there are still other out there. You do your things and keep this phone at hand for when they come back, ok? Because they will
- I… Yes. I will. Im sorry… Nathan. I can see you really want to help. I will pray for you, but I’m sure the police will protect us if those… Things… come back.
- We both know they are not equipped to protect you against that. Keep the phone at hand. Goodbye Patience.
- Wait! Are they.. Are those things demons?
- Not in the way you mean. If you change your mind you know how to reach me.

The Sea of Destiny
[Let me be straight with you. This is trash, like old dime store novel trash. Don't expect grandiose writing, anything profound, or much beyond being free of spelling errors. Like my profile says, it’s hopefully like a salty snack, decent and satisfying for people looking for this kind of thing (at least that's my hope). It is simple, weird, and most likely growing in ridiculousness as it rapidly escalates.] Michael just wants to get away after a rough breakup. He figures some time alone cruising on a sick jet ski will help clear his head. After a small series of mishaps he winds up as humanities last hope adrift at sea after nuclear devastation destroys the mainland. Will he be able to solve the mystery of the bowl of the ancients before nuclear winter freezes over his dwindling food supply? Who are these mysterious women he keeps meeting, and will he even care about the talents they bring to the table, or will he be too focused on how they keep ruining his carefully laid plans for survival at sea? Read this cheesy short story to see for yourself, and discover the true mystery behind the hand of fate.
