They hadn’t gotten far – barely to the outskirts of the crater zone – when the lights began to go out all over the remains of the city.  The Ghoul smirked in that way he had, equal parts contempt and amusement.  Lucy didn’t rise to his bait in the moments before it was too dark to see him. Didn’t take a genius to know it was the Brotherhood taking Moldaver’s cold fusion for themselves.  Maximus had told her that the Brotherhood preserved technology.  However, from what she’d seen, what he actually meant was hoarded.  Selfishly, deliberately.  Using it as a way to keep everyone else under their metal shod boots.  She’d seen the carnage of the Observatory.  None of it had been necessary.  It served no purpose to kill with such flagrancy other than as a show of power.

It was partially why she’d picked herself up from the floor and left Max behind.  The Ghoul was not what she’d call ideal company, but every lesson he’d imparted to her in their short, violent acquaintance had at least been honest.  If he was looking for whoever was ‘behind the wheel’, her chances of survival were better with him than without him.

“Took’em less time than I figured,” he said softly as the dark settled back around them.

Lucy didn’t reply; what could she say to that?  He eyed her, as if waiting for her to make some argument, but frankly, she had no energy to dredge up for one.  Not after this night.  She met his gaze, knowing she probably looked as lost as she felt.  Wide eyed and traumatized and still too naive to survive five steps on her own. But he was smirking again, this time without as much of a sardonic edge.

“You’ll live, sweetheart.  Trust me.”

Let there be truth instead of lies

Let there be wise men instead of dead scientists

Let there be morals and principles instead of unfamiliar life goals that forget the intrinsic part of human existence

Let there be sanity instead of immoral sentences to death

Let there be cultural values instead of war like actions and ideologies

Let there be wonders instead of faking lifestyles that penetrate the human mind in ways that are unforbiddable and unacceptable for those who suffer from it

Let there be christianity that lures for truth and belief in one self and others instead of discracking belief systems and not giving new ones instead only hatred and disbelief

One needs something to believe in to walk here on earth. If that belief is untrue it will fall apart or loose its potentiality. When so there can happen two things, one is cracking it open and see what's in there and look for answers why it didn't work, two look for new beliefs that can be brought into this world that benefit all of us without reaching warlike ideologies and hateful actions or missions, three to show the reasons why some belief are true and some are untrue, four to show what belief is and what you can do with it and why it's needed, five to see for new ways of seeing life, planet earth and the movements of all living things here on planet earth and see the meaningful connections between it and realise what that does and is doing.

Hopeful thoughts instead of lifedistracting behaviours that destroy peoples lifes energy and sense of belonging to this world we live in.

Gettin healthy foods instead of gmo induced foods that are dangerous for our health.

As last I want to stand still for those who are fighting, in dangerous situations, without someone to share these days with them, in hospital, in church, on the streets, in prison, in an airplane, in an important duty on earth during Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful christmas time and know that you are loved by many and go ahead with what you are doing.

For all of us I want to share my hope and peace and love to lighten your hearts and souls and wish everyone one of you a peaceful christmas time here on earth.
