ANYWAYS... there is this part where the word Croatan is drawn on a wall, leaving the impression that this black fog thingy is what caused the disappearance at Croatan. If you don't know what Croatan is, then you didn't go to school in NC, so go google it. It reminded me of this short story that I wrote in high school that I found and pasted below. Enjoy!

I remember every day I have lived. From my birth to this exact moment. You shouldn't concern yourself with why this is, but rather, why I am telling you. You see, there are some things that should be left unsaid and understood, but instead become truth and knowledge. Some things that should be left completely alone, but become unearthed. You will become the bearer of such things, as I have chosen you to carry my burden. I have lived far too long and seen far too much to continue. I have recently figured out how to end my suffering and you play a historic role. I will teach you everything and leave you with nothing. You will have no choice but to step into the role you were born to portray; the part of a lifetime. Of an eternity.
You may have heard of my masterpieces. Your race has long tried to personify me into something they can understand. Comprehension is the demise of mankind; the need to know more, to have more. Unfortunately, mankind is all that is left to carry out our duty. I am all that is left and soon I will be no more. The first borns, the plague, even the little occurrence at Croatan, all my doing. Any time there is evil among humans, I am present. It is our people's gift, our curse, and I am all that is left. I must chose a successor and I have chosen you.
You may ask, in your flaw of comprehension, "why me"? It is simple really, you chose me. You are reading this account of my last breath. You are choosing to continue even though every second, you know you should stop. Deep down, something is driving you to not stop, to push through until the end. That is what most of the human race does not possess, but a small fraction of you exist. I knew one of you would pick me and that is all there is to it. You will do what must be done to continue the process of life. If you don't, all of your race will parish...and this cannot happen. Your race is all that is left of His creations. Humans are the youngest and by far the most ignorant and do not possess the power of all the others. However, your race is the most destructive. The others have perished because their bodies could not keep up with their intelligence. Your race is perishing because of your greed and inherent evil. That is where you and I come in; to take those that are evil and remind your world of how precious life really is.
I will grant you the power every human has desired since the creation of your kind; the power of complete knowledge of the universe. You will know all and be all. Time does not exist for you and you will make the decision; who lives and who dies. You are evil and you are good; flawed and pure. Without you, your race would ravage each other in a mater of years. Without you, His creations would all parish. You hold the balance of the universe in your hands and you will keep the balance until...you will know when that time comes.
If you've made it this far, you have accepted your fate and are willing to continue what must be done. When you finish reading, and you must finish, turn around and I will be there. I always have been, but now you will know it is me. Accept. Your. Fate.
Gotta love high school. Until next time, dear readers...
lightsaber foggy thing?
