The journal of a Hidden Airstrip

by Nicolas Franklin


It took him nine years to save enough money to purchase his dream plane, a Corsair. While renovating the old plane, a small journal was found. The journal was green and flimsy, from age and use. It was filled with details about an unknown airstrip from WWII. If what the journal says is true, the airstrip must be located and dealt with before it is found by the wrong people. The fate of the world lies in the balance.


James looked at the plane paying no attention to the man next to him. He walked over to the plane and examined it closely. It had silver wings and two machine guns on each side. On the tail was the logo of the navy. The body of the plane was a dark blue. It looked liked the former owner had taken a great effort to make it look like this. He walked up to the planes door and opened it he walked in and looked it over. In a small open space a book was wedged. he tugged it out and looked it over. it was very old and had a very dirty inside. it was almost unreadable. There were pictures inside of an airstip and plans of attack.

Dream: Historic Fiction

James was walking in an empty white room. There was nobody anywere. He looked around and could'nt figure out how he had gotten there. He scratched at his head trying too recall what had happened. He heard a noise behind and looked over his shoulder to see that one of the walls had seperated. James walked slowly closer as it lit up into a sreen like a tv. He watched as a young man about 23 walked with what looked too be a close friend. His fiend also looked about that same age. They talked for a while and he could only here a few words here and there. He could here only a few words and one talked of a book that a man named Cortez had first found the book in a treasure first made by the Aztecs. He wished his haering were better but they seemed to trail off. James became very curios when the man pulled the book out and started too talk of a museum were a historian had bought the srange old book. James smiled as he recalled his own strange and new book. The two men stopped and smiled shook hands and walked in the two houses right next door too each other. The screen left and the walls shut again the walls on the other side of the room opened and to his surprise there was a door. He walked over and opened the door. James pulled it opened and on the other side saw himself sleeping. As memory came back he realized it must be a dream. Suddenly the doors slammed, the walls shut and he was throne back by wind he landed in his bed and sat up...Now he was awake.
