Back on Earth, it was day to day for me. I worked, I played, I slept, and then got up to do it all over again. No real purpose, really. I felt I was just there; and though I loved life, I was just playing along, it seemed.

I was never truly "close" to my family, though I did love them all. I never married, either. It was hard to know who I could really say I trusted and counted on enough to love in that way. But, there were connections. People with whom I shared something; and maybe with nothing more than just a feeling that it was right and meant to be, I loved them more than life itself, and I would go to the ends of the Earth for them. As it turns out, I ended up doing just that - in the literal sense.

We were connected. Something out there told us that and kept us near to each other, even if some of us had never met, except maybe through the 'net. It was a feeling, a thought not fully realized or comprehended, but we knew. It was something inside. We didn't know about the Eloh, but apparently they knew of us.

Sometimes, I start to wonder if they made it away, too. But then I stop myself, because I know inside they did. They were now fighting, too, and learning about their feelings, their abilities, just as I am. I don't know where they are, but they are there. I still feel them, and I will always love them, and together we will find a way to help all of what is left - all that is left of humanity - to survive.
