 Fed. Agent 1:  "Mission accomplished!"  Back at the lab!

Dr. Mannis:  "So sorry about my assistant."  "All his credentials checked out!"

Fed. Agent 1:  "Unfortunately, no one is going to wear a tee-shirt that says, I want to travel time and steal stuff, and kill people."

Dr. Mannis:  "He Seamed so stable, and gifted in his field."  "Since Nephewtism is allowed, I will hire my daughter to assist me!"

Fed. Agent 1:  "Sounds good to me Sir, for she was a good student at the academy and such a good looker!

Dr. Mannis:  "Might I add that she is still single Too!"

Fed. Agent 1:  "Very Subtle Doc!"

TO BE CONTINUED:

The feds are called to a special meeting in regard to the first-time travel event.  Apparently, once the Notzies got wind of the technology, they are constantly going to try to get their hands on more research, and another device or to reverse engineer the technology to a point until they resurrect Adolf Hitler and reintroduce the modern world to his tyranny! We reenter our story in the doctor's lab, with his beautiful daughter; Victoria, named after his late wife:

Dr. Mannis:  "Hello my precious child!"  "Let's get started perfecting our cloak!"  "It's very important to have a perfect cloak!"

Victoria: "Yes Papa!"  "I will use the matrix of the programs I worked with at the FBI during my externship!"  "They seem to have a very stable cloak!" "I'm certain we can perfect the cloak using their software development matrix!"

Dr. Mannis:  "Very good my sweet!"

They work well into the night until they were mentally exhausted.   Finally, the Dr. said: "Let's call it a night and order takeout and have it delivered!?"

Victoria:  "Yes Papa, that sounds great! Italian!?"

Dr. Mannis:  "Perfect!"

Fed. Agent 1:  "High everyone, hard at work!? I brought pizza!"  "Hungry!"

Victoria:  "Hi Sargent, and you're right on time!  "We were just getting ready to order Italian!"

Dr. Mannis:  "Perfect timing Sir." "Thanks for checking in on us!"

Victoria:  "I will get the drinks and paper plates, and set the table, I'm very hungry!"

Fed. Agent 1:  "It's good to see you again Victoria, and I missed seeing you every day!"  "Let me help you with those"

Victoria:  "Very good to see you again too Sargent!"

Fed. Agent 1: "Call me Haun if you like!?"

Victoria:  "Okay, Haun!"  "Also thanks, and let's eat."  She said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek!  then they went back to set the table and began to eat.

Meanwhile: In Germany:

Notzi officer1:  Our Mission failed, this time, but after we successfully kidnap the doctor's assistant, we will try again, Hail Hitler! 

Notzi officers 2, 3, and 4:  "Hail Hitler!" They all yelled as they continued to follow the prison transport that was carrying him to maximum security.

Last time on: Short Stories and Poems Presents! ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION(subtitle; Divorce court!)

 Suddenly, an atmospheric disturbance occurred in the room and two men appeared out of nowhere:

Agent 1: "Who are you and where did you just come from?"

Intruders:  "I'm Dr. Steven Strange, and this is the Socceror Supreme, and we have a few questions of our own!!"

TO BE CONTINUED:

Dr. Steven Strange and his colleague were at a loss for words when they arrived at the call center, for their mystical arts suddenly stopped working:  It is the nature of the A. I. software matrix that dampers or totally restricts any kind of witchcraft, magic, or sorcery activity as soon as it detects it.

Agent 1:  "How can I help you, Mr. Steven Strange?"

Dr. Strange:  "That is Dr. Steven Strange!"  "What is it you people do, How is this place possible?"  "Also, how have you stopped our mystic powers from working?"

Agent 1:  "Normally, I would be glad to help you with any inquiry, but you have made an unauthorized entry to our building, and the information you have requested is classified!"  "Only my supervisor can assist you further!"  "Supervisor!?"

Dr. Strange:  "Thank you!"

Supervisor:  "What is all the commotion about, and just what is the nature of your surprise visit?"

Dr. Strange:  "I and the sorcerer supreme were on a mission when suddenly we were brought here and were unable to continue on our journey!"  "Just What is this place, and what do you do here?"

Supervisor:  "This is a call center for the: ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION, however, that's all I can legally tell you"  "However I do recognize you as Dr. Steven Strange of the Avengers, so you will have to be briefed in things by the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. NICK FEARY!" unless he has been replaced by someone by now!

Dr. Strange:  "Delightful!"  "Well if you will kindly remove your dampening field or whatever it is, we will be on our way?"

Supervisor:  "Sorry, that is not necessary."  "Security is on the way to escort you out of the building, and here they are."  "Just follow these gentlemen, and as soon as you are out of the building your mystical arts should start working again. "  "Next time make an appoint and remember to use the door?"  "Have a nice day Dr. Strange!"  

Meanwhile, In divorce court:

Judge Mabline:  "Well, the next case on my docket outta be very interesting!"  Pastor David Armstrong is suing his wife of 30 years for divorce for Adultery, plus embezzlement of funds from the church, and for mental cruelty, because for years she and her 3 daughters have been secretly practicing witchcraft in a secret room in their home."  "Bailith, let's get this one out of the way fast"  "It's giving me the creeps already"

Bailith:  "All rise for the honorable Judge Mabline!?"  "You may be seated!"

Judge Mabline:  "May the defense call the first witness?"

Defense lawyer: "I call Mrs. Armstrong to the stan!"  After she came to the witness stand:

Bailith:  "Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?"

Mrs. Armstrong:  "I don't want to touch that book, but yes, I will, just hover my hand over it and say yes!"

Bailith:  "Be seated!"

Prosecutor:  "So how long have you been practicing witchcraft?"

Defense lawyer: Objection, relevance!

Judge Mabline:  "Sustained"  Please direct your line of questions on the subject of the divorce proceedings.

Prosecutor:  "How long have you been diverting funds from my client's church to another church in California?"

Mrs. Armstrong: "For 30 years!"

Prosecutor:  "And just what is the name of the church, you transferred the money to?"

Mrs. Armstrong:  "The First Church of Satan!" She said with a wicked, evil grin!"

Prosecutor:  "One last question!"  "During this marriage, how long were you and your daughters participating in ritual orgies in the secret room in your home?"

Mrs. Armstrong:  "For 20 years!"

Prosecutor:  "No further Questions!"

Judge Mabline:  "If there are no further questions from either side I'm ready to make a ruling on this case, for I have seen and heard quite enough!?"

Defense lawyer:  "No other witness to call, and no questions!"

Judge Mabline:  "It is the ruling of this court, that, based on the evidence presented in this case, I grant you your divorce and you also retain all properties, and all money embezzled from the church should be returned. "  "Also will the defendant rise for sentencing?"  She rises, with her still wicked grin.  "We are sentencing you to 50 years with possible parole in 30 or 40 years with good behavior, if that is possible, at the state mental institution of the criminally insane."  "Do you have anything to say further, and do you understand or agree with the nature of the sentence?"

Mrs. Armstrong:  "Yes!"  "Only that my punishment in some ways violates my constitutional rights, of freedom of religion!"

Judge Mabline:  "The statement is recorded and noted, however, my ruling is the finale, and this case is over, "  "Bailith take this woman into custody and take her away from me fast!"

Judge Mabline:  "There will be a recess until 2:30 pm before the next! case"  As the people file out of the courtroom, the authorities take his wife away!  David is calm and relieved that it is over, feeling good about his future.  When he arrives home, he is tired and exhausted from the day!  He decided to lie down and take a nap.  As he drifted off to sleep, meditating on the 23 Psalm, he started to dream. His thoughts were focused on reaching his lost members and helping them to return to the church and breaking them free from the power of the occult and being protected like he is now, and building up his flock again! Word!

 David: "Well, No Thanks! And God Bless You!"

Agent:  "Thank you, and God Bless you". "Thank you for being a client of  the ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION, and have a nice day!"

After he got off the phone, he was so overjoyed he did not know what to do with himself, so he just sang praises to God, until he fell asleep.

TO BE CONTINUED

The next day, he had planned, in light of present events, to see a shrink in order to get his thoughts together!

Dr. Calmer:  "My name is Dr. John Clamer, and welcome to your first session with us"

David: "Thank you, sir!"  "Also, thanks for seeing me on such short notice."  "In view of recent events, I felt the need to get things together quickly!"

Dr. Calmer: "I saw the subject you wanted to talk to me about, and was a bit curious!"  "How much do you know about witchcraft and the supernatural?"

David:  "Not much doc, just what the Bible mentions about it."  "When I found out my wife and kids were witches, I was totally dumbfounded."  "I thought the Salem Witch hunters took care of all of that"  "Assumed the ones existing today, were quite harmless, really didn't know what they are messing with! "

Dr. Calmer: "Most of what you assumed is true, "but actually, it would be a mistake to assume that everyone that was burned as a witch during the Salem Witch-hunts, was really a witch, and most likely framed by real witches"

David:  "God is so very powerful!"  "Why does so much evil exist all around us, and in places where it should not be?"

Dr. Calmer:  "I have been an FBI agent for 50 years, and a Dr. of Psychology for longer, and still trying to figure that out?"  "My theory is that we can invite evil into our lives without knowing it."

David:  "What do you mean?"

Dr. Calmer:  "For instance, Do you cheat on your wife?"

David: "No, Never!?"  "What would that matter, and Why ask me that!?"

Dr. Calmer: "For now, let me ask the questions and just answer them truthfully?"

David:  "Okay, sorry Sir!"

Dr. Calmer:  "Good!"  "My next question is; have you ever been tempted to or thought about cheating on your wife?"

David: "Well, yes, but not sure I understand this line of questioning."

Dr. Calmer:  "In time you will understand!"  "One last question!"  "Have you ever fantasized about cheating on your wife?"

David:  "I think I'm starting to get the picture, and the answer is yes, with Jennifer Lopez, or Hallie Berry! or someone like that!"  "How many men have not?"  "Relevance?"

Dr. Calmer:  "Relevance!"  "Our hidden thoughts can betray us and compromise our safety"  "This is important when dealing with ones that like to dabble in the occult and witchcraft, binding ones with spells"  "My advice is to work on keeping your thoughts as pure as possible!"

David:  "Why is that, sir!?"

Dr. Calmer:  "Remember this!" "Whenever someone tries to put a spell on someone pure in heart, it will backfire, and whatever they are trying to do to someone else, it will happen to themselves!"

David:  "Really?"

Dr. Calmer: "It makes sense, and it is what some witches that I have had to question, seem to believe"

David:  "I will take your advice, sir!"  "Sounds reasonable to me too!"

Dr. Calmer:  "I believe our session is up, see you next time!"

Meanwhile back at the call center of the ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION.

Agent 1:  "Thank you for being a client of ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION. and have a nice day." As the customer hangs up, he turns to one of his co-workers and says:

Agent 1:  "This software is so cool"  "I like when we run the ITG for an unnatural occurring tornado, and at the end, a cartoon image of Superman flies onto the screen and turns the image of the tornado upside down, just like in the superman movie that had Richard Pryor in it1 and then it just goes away."

Agent 2:  "Fascinating, and I would like to progress to MI6 level, so I can learn how this software really works"

Agent 1:  "You mean like British intelligence, like James Bond?"

Agent 2:  "No, a much more special elite group of MI6, Syber-division With a Software development team!"  "A. I. technology!"

Agent 1:  "Wow!"

Suddenly, an atmospheric disturbance occurred in the room and two men appeared out of nowhere:

Agent 1: "Who are you and where did you just come from?"

Intruders:  "I'm Dr. Steven Strange, and this is the Socceror Supreme, and we have a few questions of our own!!"

 Assistant:  "What the hell!"  He said as he observed war plans flying by with zwar-stickers on them.  in fact, ever where he looked, he saw Notzi troopers and zwar-stickers! Then the Feds caught up with him, as he was saying:

Assistant:  "Oops!"

Fed. Agent 1: "Oops!? Oops!?"  "You screw up this bad and that is all you got to say?" "Come with us idiot, and tell us everywhere you went and everything you did!?"

Notzi Troops:  "Hold it right there, and don't move!

TO BE CONTINUED!

After the fed agents caught up with the unauthorized time traveler! (UTT), They moved swiftly to correct the timeline event. (TE)  Because of the government funding, they were well equipt and well prepared!  The proper protocol for time travel is to be clocked while navigating a  time gravity well. (TGW)  A UTT would be unaware of such a protocol. In other words, the only one visible to the Nottzi Troops is the assistant.

Fed. Agent 1:  "Don't move and don't panic?"  "We are clocked, and now you are clocked too!"  "Let's go fool!"  "We need to interrogate you first, and we need your full cooperation to correct the timeline!"  He said as they ascended back into a new TGW.

Notzi Troops:  "What just happened?"  "Where did he go?"

Assistant:  "Yes sir, but what's going to happen to me!?"

Fed. Agent 1:  "Really!"  "You must have forgotten to read the fine print when you signed up for this job!?"  "Most likely you will be executed depending on what and how many violations!"  "Best case scenario, life in prison!"  The feds. worked swiftly and discovered that all he did was kill someone and steal some money, however, the changes in the timeline occurred, by some Notzi sympathizers that followed him, and took one of his devices while he was not paying attention.   After correcting all UTTs and TE's, they returned to the present:

Fed. Agent 1:  "Mission accomplished!"  Back at the lab!

Dr. Mannis:  "So sorry about my assistant."  "All his credentials checked out!"

Fed. Agent 1:  "Unfortunately, no one is going to wear a tee-shirt that says, I want to travel time and steal stuff, and kill people."

 A Preacher is tired of losing members to the fascination with the occult tries to do something about it himself and finds himself over his head. even his wife and kids turned out to be witches! He was full of despair until he found this website.  www.awcaicwecarryoutthelawofmoses.gov . After he met them, things started to change!  Our story begins in his office as Bishop Willis visits him to discuss the goings on of his church, and why money is missing from the treasury.

Bishop Willis:  "David, my son, what is happening at this church?"  "You came highly recommended, graduated with honors in the top,  head of your class ".  "As Pastor of this church, you are responsible for all the goings on of your flock!"  "What do you have to say for yourself?"  Pastor David Armstrong was silent as tears welled up in his eyes and began to stream down his face.

David:  "Bishop!"  He said in tears and so distraught that no other words could be uttered!

Bishop Willis:  "Oh my son, what is it." "What has happened?"  "Is all the stories I have been told true?"  "Loss of members, money being stolen from the church, and your wife and your 3 daughters are involved in witchcraft?"`  He just shook his head as he continued to cry, and said:

David: "Yes!"

Bishop Willis:  "I'm afraid in light of these events, you are going to have to be removed as Pastor of this church, for you no longer meet the spiritual requirements of residing over his household in a fine way, and children under subjection! "  "I hope you understand?"

David: "I understand Sir!"

Bishop Willis:  "You are a fine young man my son, and when you came here, I had high hopes for you".  "Don't be discouraged for God does not let us be tried with what we can not bear"  "That which does not kill you, makes you stronger!"  "Please don't let this kill you!?"

David: "I will do my best sir!"  In his mind he started to resight the 23 Psalm:  Jehovah is my Shepherd.+

I will lack nothing.+

 2 In grassy pastures he makes me lie down;

He leads me to well-watered resting places.*+

 3 He refreshes me.*+

He leads me in the paths* of righteousness for the sake of his name.+

 4 Though I walk in the valley of deep shadow,+

I fear no harm,+

For you are with me;+

Your rod and your staff reassure me.*

 5 You prepare a table for me before my enemies.+

You refresh* my head with oil;+

My cup is well-filled.+

 6 Surely goodness and loyal love will pursue me all the days of my life,+

And I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for all my days.+

Later that day on the phone with his wife:

David:  "Listen you evil witch, you need to return the money!?"

Wife:  "No! , and you better not call the po po either, or I will cast a spell on you and even more terrible things will happen to you!"  "Ha!, Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"  "Go bye preacher man!"  After she hung up he started searching the web until he found a site that caught his eye:www.awcaicwecarryoutthelawofmoses.gov.

The site offered help to those troubled by ones practicing witchcraft and voodoo and all kinds of sorceries. So he signed up.  The next day a tech team showed up to install some special upgrades to his home security and automation system and said, whenever there is a problem, just call our 1-800 number and our agents will do the rest!  Moments later, he heard a noise outside and he looked out the window and got a big surprise!  He quickly dialed the 1800 number and said:

David:  "Hello, There is a tornado coming towards my house and it does not look normal."  "An image of my wife's face is at the top of it!"  "What the hell?"

Agent:  "I will be so glad to help you with that sir, and in view of your emergency, I will expedite the troubleshooting!"  "David Armstrong, correct, and a new customer?"

David: "Yes!"

Agent:  "Thank you,  and running an ITG to troubleshoot your issue"   "Okay sir on my computer screen it says your issue is being resolved!  can you confirm that sir?"

David:  "Why, yes it just turned itself upside down and vanished!" "How did you do that?" 

Agent:  "Sorry sir, this is a government agency and that is classified." "Is there anything else I can help you with"

David: "Well, No Thanks! And God Bless You!"

Agent:  "Thank you, and God Bless you". "Thank you for being a client of  the ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION, and have a nice day!"

After he got off the phone, he was so overjoyed he did not know what to do with himself, so he just sang praises to God, until he fell asleep.

Short Stories and Poems Presents! "A PLACE IN TIME F0R A KILL" (SUBTITLE; "TIME GRAVITY WELLS")

       Time travel has been featured in literature over the ages. Closely linked with most of the moves of our time.  T V. Shows like time tunnel ABC's long-running series. Star Trek, Time Bandits, Back to the Future's 1, 2, and 3", Time Cop, to name a few!  Why the fascination with time and time travel?  I don't know what other people's reasons are, my sole reason is to go back and get a more accurate record of history.  It is well known that most empires, only recorded what made them look good!  In reality, what are the reasons most people would want to go bake in time to do?  Yes! You said it! MONEY!  To get rich, or to fix some problems in their life.  I would like to think that all scientists, would have a nobler reason to travel through time, but every movie and TV show has explored every dark temptation.  The truth of the matter, one needs to be intelligent enough to make the right decisions as we come to them. That takes parental guidance.  Something most individuals are deprived of.  That is why knowledge of time travel is a very dangerous tool in the wrong hands.  Thus our story: "A PLACE IN TIME, FOR A KILL!" 

         Our Story begins in a lab in Washington D. C., the nation's capital. Dr. Mannis, a brilliant scientist discovered the concept of time gravity wells.  Once he was confident that he could navigate time without disturbing the timeline, approved a field test.  The results were successful he thought at first, but when he returned to his time, he noticed some slight changes that worried him too much, so was thinking of crapping the project and going back to the drawing board!  However, the assistant that accompanied him on the field test disagreed and didn't think it was necessary to be so careful.  The discrepancies were minor. However, after a heated argument, He stormed out furiously!

Argument:

Dr. Mannis:  "Back to the drawing board!"

Assistant:  "What, the field test seemed to go well?"

Dr. Mannis:  "Not well enough.  We must strive for perfection!"

Assistant:  "No!  We have been waiting for this breakthrough for too long"

Dr. Mannis:  "We will not go through this again, and you will learn your place!"

He growled No! again and stormed out!  Little did the good Dr. know that his assistant was planning to betray him from the start, to travel time for selfish gain,  which was his motivation for volunteering for this project.  He snuck back into the lab later that night, stole research, and made off with the time devices.  thinking they were the only ones.  He said to himself; "Now I can travel back and just fix some things in my life, and might as well grab me some money too while I'm at it!"  Little did he know that the Feds were following him ever since he snuck back into the lab!

Fed. Agent 1:  "Stay on him!"

Fed. Agent 2:  "Rodger!"

Suddenly he noticed them tailing him and lost them in the traffic.  When they located him again, it was too late, for he had already opened a time gravity well.  That's how they located him. They activated their devices and followed!   They had to follow him while his gravity well was still open in order to be protected from any time changes.  As the assistant executed his plan swiftly and returned:  The time changes gave him a very unpleasant surprise!

Assistant:  "What the hell!"  He said as he observed war plans flying by with zwar-stickers on them.  in fact, ever where he looked, he saw Notzi troopers and zwar-stickers! Then the Feds caught up with him, as he was saying:

Assistant:  "Oops!"

Fed. Agent 1: "Oops!? Oops!?"  "You screw up this bad and that is all you got to say?" "Come with us idiot, and tell us everywhere you went and everything you did!?"

Notzi Troops:  "Hold it right there, and don't move!"
