About this ebook
. “What destination?” she asked.
“I am taking you to the station, then you will travel to the city of Pinanos,” Anne stated.
“I’ve never heard of Pinanos,” Annette replied.
“It is not a city of Earth, it is a city that only exists here.”
“What are you saying? We’re no longer on the Earth?”
“You are in a land between the living and the dead. If you would have stayed in line, you would have been judged and either sent to a new place to live, or sent back to Earth to finish out your life. By leaving the line you are now trapped here in the middle with no escape,” Anne replied.
“But the old hag said we’d be waiting in the line a very long time.”
“Longer than you can imagine, it would have felt like forever,” Anne replied.
“What is this place called?” Annette asked.
“This land has no name, it’s where the dead come to be judged.”

My first book was published 20 years ago and is on this site. It is called Morning Star. My style is over the top absurd and crazy, I can't write a boring book. I have explored many types of genre's and like to explore different ideas. My favorite subjects are religious in nature and often use God, angels and Demons as characters. I don't write cookie cutter books and I don't really read all that much. I am a creator more than a consumer. I know what I like and I don't feel I need to read other's works in order to plagiarize their themes and ideas. I don't agree that you have to be a reader to be a good writer, you just need talent and good imagination.

Chapter 1
Red eye
The constant high pitched whine of the jet engines did nothing to keep Captain Harris from nodding off, only the thought of the cameras recording his every move and the cockpit voice recorder monitoring from the back of plane. At 3am, the horizon out his window was nothing but dark and the panel before him was lit up like a Christmas display of different colored lights. He hated these late night flights, but he was new to the company and took the schedule the company gave him. It would take a few years before he could get his life back to normal.
To his right was his co-pilot Beth Adkins, a twenty something he had never flown with before, and behind them both was the brains of the operation, a computer that basically ran the plane. Together they occupied a very claustrophobic space surrounded by panels of buttons and switches that gave the impression of being trapped inside an iron maiden. The only thing that let them know they weren’t alone was the occasional chatter on the radio. At thirty-five thousand feet, the city lights below looked like stars.
Then the stars blinked, and then were gone.
Did you see that?
Harris asked.
See what?
Beth asked.
The lights, there gone,
Harris replied.
Beth looked at the ground below and back at Harris. Maybe its cloud cover,
Beth replied.
No, there were there and then they’re gone.
We’re thirty miles from the nearest city, there’s not a lot of lights to see anyway.
Then the display panel in front lit up with the message, "Auto pilot disengaged," and various lights began to blink in a regular pattern followed by a beeping sound from the center of the panel.
Did you do something?
Harris asked.
No, I didn’t touch anything,
Beth replied.
Then why did the auto pilot disengage?
Beth scanned the display panel and noticed something else. We’ve lost the VOR, and the GPS.
What the fuck? How did that happen?
Maybe that’s why the auto pilot disengaged. Without the VOR or the GPS, it had no heading to follow.
Now this is insane,
Harris said. He was agitated and getting very nervous. He scanned the ground below and still saw no lights, just the stars above. His visual horizon was gone and all he had to navigate with now was his instruments. He read the panel and saw he was still at thirty-five thousand feet, his airspeed was Mach 0.84 and was flying level. In a panic he clicked his microphone switch and said as calmly as possible Omaha, KRT one one five heavy, good uh evening level three-five zero.
He waited for a response and got none. Again, but this time with tension in his voice he called, Omaha, KRT one one five heavy, good evening level three-five zero.
He focused his view on the panel that read his auto-pilot was disengaged and waited again for what he figured was the normal reply. He looked to Beth and said, What the fuck is going on?
Try a different frequency,
Beth replied.
Harris turned the dial and repeated what he had said twice before. Nothing.
Try calling other traffic.
Harris pressed his call button and said, KRT heavy, is anyone else having difficulty raising the tower?
There was no response.
I haven’t heard any chatter since our auto pilot disengaged,
Beth said.
Harris took a deep breath and tried to figure out what was going on. We have no GPS, no VOR, no one is talking to us and the auto pilot is useless. I don’t suppose we have a checklist for this do we?
Not that I know of,
Beth replied. I’ve never even tried it in the Sim lab.
Harris swallowed hard and realized his palms were sweating. We have enough fuel to get us to Dallas, but is Dallas there?
What do you mean is Dallas there?
In two hours we should have enough light to see what’s going on, but for now we’re flying blind. We can’t dial in our destination. We could drift miles off course without visual reference.
Just keep us at altitude and we’ll figure it out,
Beth replied. She was trying to be reassuring but was scared to death inside.
Then Harris saw a message he didn’t notice before. It was a light indicator that the cargo door wasn’t secure. What the hell?
Harris said under his breath.
What’s wrong now?
Beth asked.
The cargo hatch isn’t shut.
That can’t be right, we’d of decompressed by now. That can’t be right.
Of course it’s not right, we’d of had all sorts of warnings if that were true. But maybe that has something to do with the radio.
What do you mean?
Beth asked.
Maybe there is a cable bundle that runs through there and somehow the door malfunctioned and fried the transmitter.
That makes sense, then we’d get a false reading on the door,
Beth said. She felt relieved thinking maybe it was something simple and that they weren’t in danger.
Yeah, that’s got to be it. We’ll keep this heading until the sun comes up and locate a place to land.
We’ll need the radio to contact the tower to land you know. We can’t just show up and land without authorization.
Don’t we have a satellite phone on board?
Harris asked.
Not that I know of,
Beth replied.
Fuck, use your cellphone,
Harris said.
I’ll try,
Beth replied pulling it from her pocket. Who should I call?
Call 911,
Harris replied.
Before she pressed in the numbers, she saw she had no signal but dialed anyway. She put the phone to her head and heard nothing. "I can’t get
