The hidden trap. Wings for arrest.

(One day later)
“Sir, we have contact them successfully. They are now on Mars. Their captain is not an alien but a human. He can speak English. They invite us to talk with them face to face,” the soldier reported.
“Ok, let’s go and visit this friend,” Henry said.
(Two hours later, they had arrived on Mars) They were standing on Mars. Kwa! Kwa! Kwa!
“Freeze, don’t move!” a man shouted.
Henry saw hundreds of soldiers surrounding them.
“Wait a sec. What’s going on?” Henry confused.
“Ha!Ha!HA! I thought you used to be smart, but you aren’t anymore,” a man said with a laugh.
“Who are you? Is this the way you greet your guest?” Henry shouted.
“Greet you? No. No. No. Greet the goddamn you. Try to look at me again? Don’t you remember me? ” the man said.
Henry looked at the man, wondering who the man was.
“Oh! You are General Chern’s only child, Tom,” Henry remembered.
“Not bad, my friend. Chris, take this goddamn murderer away. I don’t want to see him,” Tom ordered.
(At the prison in The Snake Star)
“Sir! Sir! Can you hear me?” a soldier asked Henry.
“Yeah, what?” Henry asked.
“I received a message just now. It said that the Earth was all occupied by Tom except our military base,” the soldier said.
“Really? Can I make contact with them?” Henry asked. “I’ll do my best,” the soldier replied.

A Journey to Hualien. Wings for train. Part one

A seaside of the night in Hualien
With the bus door closed, I was on a long amazing journey to Hualien. I went to Hualien to visit my classmate, Vincent, and his senior high school. My plan was that I took the bus to Taipei Train Station, and then took a train to Hualien. It took me about an hour and a half to get to Taipei. I don’t know how long it would take to get to Hualien because I am still on the train right now.
On the bus to Taipei, a pretty girl sat beside me, making me very nervous. She sat there very quietly as if she had fallen asleep for a long while. The warm yellow sunset fall upon her face and she looked cuter. Don’t say that I ever blushed, it is because of the sun. Half an hour later, it was about time to say good-bye. It was really a pity that the time was so short. Einstein’s theory of relativity was right. An hour with a pretty girl is much shorter than a minute on fire.

The Phantom Menace. Wings for crisis

Chapter 2 Escape from The Snake Star
Ten years after it. Henry’s troop was assigned by the government to protect the Earth. One day, a soldier found something flying on the far edge of the solar system.

“Sir, There are unknown objects coming toward us. If they maintain their speed, they’ll arrive on Earth in 24 hours,” he reported in urgent.
Henry thought back to years ago. When he was a little boy, he once answered a strange phone call:
Years ago, Henry was a student. One day when he was about to go to school, the phone rang. Henry picked up the phone.
“Warning! Warning!” a man’s voice coming from the phone.
“Hello! This is Henry,” Henry replied.
“The Snake Star is attacking us. We’ll all be killed. Retreat,” the strange man said.
“What? What are you talking about? (The phone hung up)……. Hello? Hello?” Henry shouted.
He wondered the strange call and a strange name-The Snake Star-. He looked up the words at the school library. One science book said that The Snake Star is a space ship for the aliens of Wo. The ship looks like a snake. It can move faster than light speed.
“It’s The Snake Star. Try to contact them. I don’t want any conflict against the aliens,” Henry commanded.

The Angel Swept It's Wings. Wings for the atomic bomb.


(At the crocodiles) “General. Hung isn’t destroyed very completely,” Johnny said. “Ok, fire the Zeus cannon again,” General Chern requested. “The Zeus cannon will be ready in ten minutes.”
(Five minutes after, on the fighters) “Pay attention, everyone. This will be our last battle. We will win at any price. Leave no mercy to the enemy. Though I can feel your fear taking heart from me, I feel scared, too. Someday we may fall, but it is not this day. Someday we may lose courage, but it is not this day. So, pick up your weapon. Let’s burn their ass,” Henry shouted. He then sent the Eagles to destroy that big cannon as possible as they can. F-16s were sent to fight against The Crocodiles’ aircrafts. Henry and Tim went to throw the Atomic bomb.
“God, help me to win the battle,” Henry prayed. “No, you aren’t going to win the battle,” Tim said. “What? What are you talking about?” Henry wondered. “You’ll never defeat General Chern. HaHaHaHa!” Tim laughed. “What?!? You are? You are a spy, aren’t you?” Henry asked. “Ah! You are smart. We are not friends now. We are enemy. You know? Enemy we are. And I’ll kill you,” Tim said. They started to fight. Henry looped and spiraled upward. Tim twisted and doubled through the dark space. Henry chased him. He strafed Tim. Tim was brought down by Henry. “Tim, why have you changed?”
(At The Crocodiles center) “The Zeus cannon is ready to fire,” the computer reported. General Chern hit the fire button. 10….9….8….
(On the fighter) “Everybody! We’ll fall back. The bomb has been thrown,” Henry commanded.
5….4….3….2….1….Bang!
Guess what? It was the Atomic bomb which had exploded. The Zeus cannon had been destroyed completely, so as The Crocodiles. Henry won the battle. They went back to earth safe and sound. The Earth had been saved.

Mission of Bombing-The First Combat. Wings for Zeus Cannon


The Zeus Cannon is ready to fire.

“Sir, I found a lot of enemy planes on the radar.” A soldier said. “He is coming! Now, ring the alarm. Get ready for the battle station,” Henry ordered. Wu~~~~~! Wu~~~~~~! The alarm rang. All the soldiers got ready in a few minutes. “Sir, we’re ready to take off.” Dozens of F-16s and Eagle got to the air. They were fighting against the Xs and Ys. The rival leader signaled for attack. They were at ten thousand feet above the Earth. Eight F-16s flew up. The bullets were all around the sky. “Oh! I’m hit.” One Henry’s soldier died. “Copy Gold leader. Their forces are getting broken.” Johnny said. Five F-16s circled around. Then three Xs dived. They were into a dogfight. Two F-16s went down in flames. Henry’s machine gun jammed. Left him at the mercy of his foe. He ejected out of the plane. “Everybody, retreat. Get on the space shuttles.” Henry ordered. It seems that General Chern won. “The Zeus cannon has finished,” the Zeus cannon operator said. “Ok! Fire at will.” General ordered. “The Zeus will be ready in ten minutes,” the computer said. “What? I thought it can fire at any goddamn time. Now I realized that it has to warm up,” General Chern said in depress.
“All set?” Henry asked. “Ok! Ready to go at anytime,” a soldier replied. “Where’s Dr. David? I must find him.” Henry said worriedly. “Oh! No time for that. We have to take off immediately,” Tim said. “No, I’ll go and find him,” Henry requested. Suddenly, there was a light came from the sky. “Oh! No! The Zeus cannon has fired, lift up the rockets right now,” Tim said and pressed the button. 10….9….8….7….6….5….4….3….2….1! All the space shuttles got to the air. The light landed on the Earth. The fire were everywhere on the ground.
(Later at the moon) “Dr. David was gone. What am I supposed to do?” Henry said in desperate. “Sir, there’s a phone call for you,” a soldier said. “Hello, this is Dr. David.” “David! You’re still alive. Where the hell are you?” Henry shouted. “I’m in the combat center in Houston. Listen! We don’t have much time. The Zeus cannon will fire at anytime. You have to throw the Atomic bomb to The Crocodiles’ control center. I’ll transmit you a map. Just be careful. I’ll see you soon,” Dr. David requested. “As you wish, buddy. All right, everybody. Let’s kick their ass,” Henry ordered.

This story is for my English teacher.
A long time ago, on Earth, there was a place named Hung. A man called Henry, lived in this place. He had a military base. He had F-16s, machine guns, tanks, radar detectors, and missiles. Henry was the commander of this base. Tim was his helper. They did good things to people.
There was a troop called The Crocodiles. General Chern was the commander of this troop. He had a lot of forces on the moon. He and his helper Johnny wanted to rule over the world. He occupied all the world. This story was about a secret weapon-
Atomic bomb

Chapter 1 Mission of Bombing
“Hi. Sir, Dr. David is coming.” A soldier said. “Ok, I hope he can be here as soon as possible.” Henry replied. (Dr. David came in the office) “Hello, commander. I have a report,” Dr. David said. “Fine, go ahead.” Henry said. “According to our spy, the crocodiles will attack us in a few days. Our forces can’t beat them. We must use our secret weapon.” Dr. David said. “Sure! What’s that?” Henry asked. Dr. David continued “I haven’t finished it. I name it- Atomic Bomb. I put two pieces of plutonium-239 on the sides of the missile. Then use chemical explosive to let two pieces get tighter. There’s a supercritical mass of plutonium results in a nuclear explosion.” “Good. Quickly finish the bomb. I can’t wait.” Henry said in excitement.
(At the moon) “When can we attack that goddamn Hung?” General Chern asked. “You mean? Destroy all of the Henry’s forces! It already set, but there’s a problem,” Johnny replied. “Our final weapon- Zeus cannon hasn’t been finished yet,” he continued. “Yeah! What a powerful weapon. But why? Why do we have to use it?” General Chern wondered. “Well, there base can’t be destroyed without that fucking cannon.” Johnny replied. “Ok. Tell everybody the plan, especially the spy. I can’t wait for my victory to come.” I hope you will enjoy the story.

Tomb sweeping day. Wings for burning.

Getting stuck in the huge traffic jam in the morning, I felt nervous instead of being annoyed. After a year long separation, I finally got a chance to meet my ancestors.
It just gave me a feeling of what family really means. When we got there, my grandma was already waiting eagerly for our arrival. I chatted with her in my very poor Taiwanese.
She seemed excited and asked me about my school life. We just had too much to talk about. I am lucky to have such a caring grandmother.
In the afternoon, we packed up our offerings and farm tools, leaving for the graveyards.
The journey was hard all the way, because we had to walk over long weeds and soft mud which became wet after the rain.
Weeds grew over our ancestors’ graves, and the carved tomb stones were covered with waterproof mud, which I found to be an ants’nest.
The ants were so smart to use waterproof mud to make their nest. After we clear all the weeds off the tomb, we displayed offerings and burned some incense.
I picked three incense sticks, walked to the front, and started to prey. I prayed that the world would be peaceful, that I could excel at my school work,
and that I would have a nice girlfriend soon. Next, we burned the “gold paper” (money for the dead.) I asked why we had to fold the paper before throwing it into the flames.
My father told me that folded paper provided more space with air for the fire to burn. I was amazed at the custom and the wisdom of the ancestors.
We also lit cigarettes for some of them because they loved to smoke when they were alive. The papers were burned to ash gradually,
and so was our love and respect paid to our ancestors. As the ash was blown away by the wind, I could feel the satisfaction form both the ancestors and their descendents.
After a long day work, my uncle told me that our ancestors first inhabited in Hsu-Chang(許昌,河南). Then they moved to An-Shi(安溪,福建).
In Chin dynasty they moved to Taiwan due to bad economic condition in Fu-Chang(福建). After moving to Taiwan, they settled down in Chang-Hwa(彰化).
Our ancestors worked very hard so that we could live in comfort now. I think tomb sweeping day is a meaningful day to show our appreciation for them,
and it tells that we should not forget what they have done.

A cruse at night. Wings for the tracks.

The night is getting dark. Yet the street lights are getting lighter. Cold wind starts to blow my hair. I tie up my shoes and embark the journey, because I am here for a jog. I prefer a comfortable jog under the starry night in TungHai University.
Unfortunately, the sky is covered with clouds, and the ground is a little bit wet. No star can be seen, no fresh air can be breath. All I see is the grey sky, and all I breathe is the moldy air. I trail down the track, alone. No body is there, and no voice can be heard. Everything becomes silent. The track seems to say something, but it keeps quiet still. My heartbeats and foot steps whisper beside my ears. The wind fall asleep, and the tip of the clock stops.
Nothing accompanied me except your shadow. I run to every where to look for you, but in vain. All I can find is the endless darkness in front of me. I can smell you, hear you, and see you, but I just can’t feel you. Where are you? The time’s scythe splices my memory into pieces, and there is no way to stop it. I am out of breath chasing and calling your name. Your image is too huge, but I just can’t feel you. After I run for a long time, I find myself in front of a big forest. It is the forest that you say goodbye to me. Darkness and silence surround me, and I get drowned in your image. My hope is fading, but I will wait for you till the time’s scythe takes away my life.
The journey is over after I cross the finish line. I pick up my jacket and leave for home. As I look up in the sky, I see there is a star shining brightly in the sky. The clouds smile so happily that I know I will have a good dream tonight.
