The Crowded Sky –
Released in the year 1960 The Crowded Sky is a black and white movie that was based around the theme of a mishap in the skies after the pilot of an airplane finds out that his communications radios have malfunctioned.
The Crowded Sky was produced by Michael Garrison, who has created many Wild West tv shows, and was directed by Joseph Pevney.
In the movie, captain Dale Heath, played by Efrem Zimbalist, is a pilot for the U.S Navy and is in the process of getting an enlisted man to his destination. He finds out that not only is his communication radio broken but his navigational systems are also not working. This puts Dale in a tight spot as being at the right altitude is of key importance and it may save their lives. Dale has also been through a similar situation in the past where he did manage to save himself but it cost the lives of the crew on the other plane.
Meanwhile from the opposite direction a commercial plane is headed towards them carrying passengers to its full capacity. The Crowded Sky shows the situation on both the planes as they head towards each other. The movie shows the people on the commercial airliner all going through their own issues and builds the story up by giving character to the passengers. While on the Navy jet the past of the both of
McVey, a young sailor, and Dale Heath, is shown.
The Crowded Sky has its quality and cheap moments alike as it wasn’t a heavily budgeted movie but succeeded in doing the job that it had set out to do: create suspense.

Falling
She's Falling
Into darkness.
There is no one to save her
No one.
A monster lurks in the darkness
Waiting...
For her to crash
There are horned bushes,
She sees,
Within the darkness.
The girl lands on the thorns.
The monster creeps up on her,
Like an animal to its prey.
The thorns dig into her skin
She bleeds from all over..
The smell drawing the monster in more.
She is unable to move
The monster bites into her leg,
Dragging her away,
To its home.
The monster tears her apart
Her screams are heard on deaf ears
She drifts away as the monster eats her.
No one found her.
No one cared.
She was left to die
Alone.
Remember, I loved you
The sound of hooves is heard on waiting ears.
Men shouting orders at their comrades.
Village people, running in fear, hiding themselves.
The war has begun.
Children are screaming and crying.
They're mothers quiet them.
They only continue.
Soldiers running to defend.
Enemy soldiers invading the village.
Taking women and children with them.
Attacking others.
The enemy is winning.
The village is losing.
They have no choice.
They surrender to the enemy.
The whole village is destroyed.
Women are sent to be slaves for the enemy.
The rest... They died with the village.

Chapter One
The New Family
Samara awoke to the sound of a truck backing up. She checked her clock, five a.m. Tripping over beer bottles from the previous night, Samara looked out her bedroom window to see what all the noise was about. There was a moving truck and a van outside the house across the street. A family of four stood outside, looking at their new house. Samara had to lean against the window sill in order to focus on seeing who the family was. Her hangover started kicking in soon after. She could make out the father, mother and two kids. They looked about her age, both boys. Samara turned to go back to sleep, not really caring about the new family. Liz, her best friend, was still asleep, hogging most of the bed. Samara tried her best to move her so she could sleep. Samara and Liz have been friends since first grade, always staying over at the other's house every other night. So it was normal for them to sleep in the same bed. Liz, clearly oblivious to the noise, could sleep through the end of the world. Samara couldn't fall back asleep because of her growing hang over. She tried to wake Liz up the only way she could. And that was to kiss her.
That's all I got for chap one so far. xD
Morganville Rules
Welcome To Morganville. You'll never want to leave.
So, you're new to Morganville. Welcome, new resident! There are only a few important rules you need to know to feel comfortable in our quiet little town:
Obey the speed limits.
Don't litter.
Whatever you do, don't get on the bad side of the vampires.
Yeah, we said vampires. Deal with it.
As a human new comer, you'll need to find yourself a vampire Protector - someone willing to sign a contract to keep you and yours safe from harm (especially from other vampires). In return, you'll pay the taxes...just like in any other town. Of course, in most other towns, those taxes don't get collected at the blood bank.
Oh, and if you decide not to get a Protector, you can do that, too...but you'd better learn how to run fast, stay out of the shadows, and build a network of friends who can help you. Try contacting the residents of the Glass House - Michael, Eve, Shane, and Claire. They know their way around, even if they always end up in the middle of trouble somehow.
Welcome to Morganville. You'll never want to leave.
And even if you do...well, you can't.
Sorry about that.
Quotes
Pledge allegiance to the mask,
That I'll carry whisky in my flask,
And anyone to diss HU,
I'll leave a bloody mess with you,
For we are family, you and I,
3 Tears for you, we all shall cry,
All day all night, our flags will fly,
The Undead Army Till The Day We Die.
