sky by new holes opening up in the ground. People were trampled as they tripped and there was no sense of safety as everyone stampeded towards the buses or the surrounding buildings. One of the buildings, with thousands of people inside or trying to get inside, was flattened in an instant when a huge boulder that had been shot out of the volcano hit it.
    Shelley and Katy scrambled onto the bus, seeing all the frightened faces of the cheerleaders and the other chaperones looking back at them, all crying and obviously frightened. As the two sat down, Shelley frantically looked for her cell phone, but couldn’t find it. Katy still had hers, since she was gripping it tightly, so Shelley asked, “Can I use your cell phone?”
    “Uh, what?” Katy realizing she still gripped her phone, handed it to her mother. “Who are you going to call?”
    “I’m going to try to call your Dad, tell him how much we love him before we die from being trapped here,” Shelley replied, with tears streaming down her cheeks.
    Shelley nervously looked through the phone for the number, found it, and pressed the contact button. She knew her husband had turned off his cell phone so he wouldn’t be disturbed while he was hunting, but it didn’t matter. She needed to let him know that she and Katy loved him, but she wasn’t emotionally prepared to talk to her husband voice to voice while her death was imminent.
    “This is Dave Abbott. I can’t come to the phone right now, please leave a message, and I’ll get back to you when I can.” replied the voicemail message.
    At the beep, Shelley left her message, attempting not to cry or splutter while doing so, “Dave, this is Shelley. We’re at Yellowstone, where the volcano seems to have finally gone off. Katy and I wanted to tell you how much we love you before we die. Thank you for our twenty years of marriage, we had some good times. I love you, never forget that. Goodbye, my love.” Less than a minute after she ended the call, a flaming boulder flattened her bus, killing everyone on board instantly.
    Back in Texas, Dave Abbott was hunting wild boar in south central Texas, close to College Station. Even though he could’ve hunted for the animals around the wooded areas of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, he wanted to go somewhere different this time. His wife and daughter had never had the desire to go hunting with him, even though they enjoyed the meals from the fresh meat, so he was happy they had something else to occupy their time while he was gone. Dave had visited Yellowstone twice when he was a kid and was glad that his daughter was able to have the same opportunity.
    Some hunters preferred sitting in blinds, waiting for their prey to come to them, and then shooting the animal with hardly any trouble at all. Dave was not that kind of hunter. He preferred searching for the animal and thought hiding and relaxing while waiting for some animal to show up wasn’t very sporting. Lately, he noticed there were very few hunters out, and he wondered if it had something to do with the alien abduction, since many of those people hunted. Shrugging, he thought, Who cares? With almost no competition, I get to hunt as much as I want. Okay, boar, come out, come out wherever you are.
    While quietly walking through the brush, the ground suddenly began shaking beneath Dave’s feet. He fell to the ground, and that’s when he noticed the sky had darkened. He could tell those dark clouds weren’t thunderstorms waiting to let loose a torrent of rain. I wonder what’s going on and since when do we have huge earthquakes in Texas? Something devastating must’ve happened and I need to get back to my truck so I can find out what it was.
    The ground stopped shaking a few minutes later, so Dave got up, and started back towards his truck and his camping site. Three hours later, he found his campsite, saw that his tent was flat on the ground, and the pots and pans that were drying on a line he setup were now on the
