Together Forever

By L. K. Goza

Together Forever has a good verity of stories that were written for all ages to enjoy.
The stories take you on journeys of action, adventure, comedy, drama, mystery and suspense.

Just a little preview: in the “movie” story, Doing Good, the characters go through some pretty incredible undertakings, with metaphorical tools that they already have, which keeps the audience wondering what’s going to happen next. Creating both good vibrations and surround sound to this story are special effects that take you there.

The author added a story that her grandma and dad wrote as a nice tribute to them, and her husband—the reason why she chose the title Together Forever. The stories are also together forever. This is all so very beautiful. It’s like a warm hug—from God, her husband, and all their family and friends on all sides, to even this book—intertwining them into a warm blanket that she gets to share.

WORLD HIGH OFFICIALS COMMUNICATING VIA SATELLITE

OBJECTIVE: RE: FIX THINGS + WORLD PEACE = PRESERVING EARTH’S EXISTENCE

There are fourteen world high officials. They are communicating via satellite where they can see each other from their sixteen-inch laptops.

They are sitting at their desks in suit and tie, with an operational plan in mind that will help fix things in the world, benefiting mankind, which will help in preserving the earth and human existence for all time.

They just need to come up with a name for the operation and find a way to get everyone worldwide stoked in wanting to participate in it.

High official Leader Way asks the thirteen high officials, How about calling the operation ‘Win-Win Operation’ or ‘Operation Working Together’?

The men agree those are good ideas, but not quite it; they believe the name for the operation will come to them.

He then asks the men, I was thinking about the next question. Maybe throwing a big party will get everyone stoked in wanting to participate in the operation?

Leader Frances asks, You mean like a global welcoming party?

Leader McJams adds, That is a good idea, but oy vey, the mess after the big party.

Leader Breeze replies, I do believe we’re all onto something.

Leader Epson asks, How about having a life-changing game and then a celebration with kind reminders to clean up after ourselves or something like that?

Leader Sieve adds, Yeah, it’s time for the evening news. Maybe this will help us find the answer we’re looking for.

The fourteen of them agree and turn on their TVs and discuss the current news. They each have a flat-screen television set hanging adjacent to the wall facing them.

In any given thirty-minute news program, the first twenty minutes seem bleak: there are shootings, crime, natural and manmade disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes, and wildfires destroying many homes and lives, the same with the great many conflicts on the rise.

The list goes on in the first twenty minutes of each and every thirty-minute news program while the last ten minutes cover good news, along with the weather and sports; that’s only ten minutes of somewhat good news because the weather as of late has been pretty dreary.

There isn’t much anyone could do about the weather, but the worldly troubles the fourteen high officials knew could be changed for the better, for the greater good of the people.

It seems like an impossible task, but the men know anything’s possible; there’s always a way. This will happen with everyone’s help worldwide.

Just then, a faint glow from the sun brightens their office, and that gives them hope. It is like a sign from above or maybe it is just a coincidence; either way, they know things are going to get better.

Leader Way says, "Here comes the sun. Everything’s going to be all right. There will surely be no more fighting, no more crimes, no more homeless, no sadder days. There will be more good days because the sun’s always out there and we’re doing good work together as many are. We just need to get the rest on board. It just came to me the name for the operation. How does ‘Operation Doing Good Work Together’ sound?"

Leader Max replies, That is good, but how about we try shortening the title a little and call it, ‘Operation Doing Good’? They all agree that is good.

The sports portion of the evening news program comes on with highlights of the World Series. They got so caught up in their work that they almost forgot about the World Series. It is the last game, bottom of the sixth inning. The Archangels and Metropolitans are tied.

The World Series is playing in Los Angeles, the City of Angels, a.k.a. the City of Hope. The Archangels are in the playoffs with the Metropolitans, the Amazing Metropolitans.

The fourteen high officials pick up on the keywords—world and city of angels, hope, and amazing.

This gives the fourteen high officials the answer in how to get everyone stoked in wanting to participate in Operation Doing Good, and they come to an agreement.

The agreement

First have Leader Way (being he is in the States where the World Series is taking place) arrange in having a life-changing game change.

Change the last three innings of the World Series to the last quarter of the football playoffs.

The World Series would be announced a tie being they are tied 7 up.

A football playoff consisting of one winning touchdown would take the place of the last three innings of the World Series.

The one winning touchdown would represent one of unity, coming together, in helping make things better in the world.

Next there will be a Super Bowl on November 24 in four days; this day will also be known as Thanksgiving Operation Complete Day.

All this will surely get everyone stoked in wanting to participate in Operation Doing Good.

The game change and operation go hand in hand; it is a good plan.

Leader Way calls the managers of the two World Series teams; they are with their teams the Archangels and the Metropolitans in the locker room at the Archangels Stadium in Anaheim, California. The managers agree this is a good idea, and they relay the message:

Manager Tongs Regan of the Archangels tells the two baseball teams, Okay, men, change of plans. The high officials need us to get the ball rolling in a great operation. When we go back on the field, an announcement will be made—both teams win the World Series, being the score is already tied. The last three innings of the series will be changed to the last quarter, ending the football playoffs with a winning touchdown.

Manager Jerry Calling of the Metropolitans continues on, telling the two baseball teams, Your football jerseys will be of the same color, with your name and game number. So let’s suit up. We have thirty minutes to practice before going back on the field. This is for a good cause, for a great operation.

The two managers say to the two teams, Working together, we can do this for Operation Doing Good.

The Archangels and Metropolitan team players agree and shout out, For Operation Doing Good! They are stoked and ready to get the ball rolling in the great operation.

It takes them hardly any time to suit up and learn how to play football, and now they are playing for a chance to win and go on to the Super Bowl. The crowd goes wild; they are just as excited watching the game change of two of their favorite teams, and everyone’s down with that, with the great plan.

Meanwhile, Leader Way’s wife Leah and their two daughters and some of the staff are in the White House movie theater watching the exciting last quarter of the playoffs on the movie screen in HD and surround sound, which makes it feel like the players are in the room with them. It is exciting to watch.

While viewing the exciting last quarter of the playoffs, everyone in the movie theater’s getting the room ready for the after-game celebration and Halloween party that will be televised worldwide.

The movie theater is now ready, and First Lady Leah
