Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

"This is my first attempt to write a book. I was born in Texas. I have blonde hair and green eyes. My mother was Mildred Marie Porter Morgan. My father was Godfred Richard (G.R.) Morgan. My mother was born in Port Author, Texas and my father was born in Suffer, Louisiana. My family, on my mother’s side is very large (about 500 members still alive). We went camping a lot when I was a child. My mother wanted to see every city in Texas while she was able to enjoy traveling. My parents raise me by the old standards –Yes Sir, No Sir, Thank you and You’re Welcome. None of the “What” “Hun” or “Yah” phases were used to answer anyone. Never. While working at Southern Pacific Railroads, I was given the Nick Name of “Bubbles” because I always arrived at the job happy and left my family problems at home. I never talked about my personal life until my Father die in June of 1991. The RR people were the nicest people I ever met. They collected a large amount of money (enough to pay for my dad’s head stone or anything my mother needed) which I gave to my mother. I will never forget these people. I even attend the Southern Pacific Reunions. My parents brought me up to be a sharing person, but because of that, a lot of people (so called friends) have taken advantage of me by borrowing from me and never returning my stuff (money, clothes, ladders, etc.) I have even lent my car to a friend so she could get her license. She drove my car the entire day and returned it with an empty gas tank. I was taught when you do a good deed, close you eyes and forget about it. I have finally learned to say “No” after 40 years, but have lost several “so called” friends because of that one little word. I love music. I try to sing in the choir. Fortunately, there are a lot of wonderful voices around me that cover my voice. Church is another thing I love. I thought the RR people were the most wonderful people I had ever met until I attended “Peace Lutheran Church” in Pasadena. These people are just like the RR people I call my family. This has to be the most loving Church I have attended. I thank God every day for this place of worship. My favorite song is “Texas” by Chris Rea. My favorite car color is red. My favorite color is green. My father once pointed out all the different colors of Green. Green is living. My favorite drink is grapefruit juice. My favorite dessert is – all desserts. I never met a dessert I didn’t like as long as it has real sugar in it and no “red 40” added to it."

Chapter One

PREDICTIONS

Having to wait and not knowing what is happening outside these four dark walls is always the worst on the nerves. Loneliness, alone with darkness, begins to close in rapidly from all sides of the bomb shelter. Kay had no idea how long she had been unconscious. There was dried blood on her white oxford shirt and faded blue jeans. She must have cut herself when she fell down the stairs into the bomb shelter. Everything seemed to be happening so fast. Her thoughts began to drift back to the beginning. The beginning when her life was full of love - then came the PREDICTIONS.

The time was May 31st, 1989. Kay Lytle married Leonard Morgan, who was a seemingly successful engineer from Atlanta, Georgia. Her father, Edgar Lee Lytle, objected to the marriage totally. As any wealthy, protected parent, he was worried that some money hungry, fortune hunter would influence Kay into marriage by using some fake promises of love and happiness. "It happens all the time," Edgar would argue with Kay. Edgar knew Kay was going to be a very wealthy lady one day. Not only had Kay's Grandmother left her a small fortune which Kay was to receive on her 25th birthday on November 27, 1995 according to her grandmother's will; but Mr. Lytle had made several profitable investments in oil and plastics which rocketed in market value. Even before he started playing the stock market, Mr. Lytle was the respected president of Consolidated Steel Corporation in Cortland for 18 years. He was planning on retiring in two more years - giving him a total of 42 years with that company. If any thing should happen to him, Kay and her mother would be very well provided for. Kay had no idea about the fortune her Grandmother had left her. She was going to college with plans of being an engineer when she met Leonard. The courtship was shot. Leonard said it was love at first sight. He was fast on his feet with promises of love, contentment, and happiness that swept Kay off her feet. Leonard was 12 years older than Kay. He was very handsome, with dark brown eyes, and wavy brown hair. Kay loved Leonard. Leonard talked Kay into sneaking off to be married by the Justice of the Peace in Cortberry County. Kay didn't like the idea of going behind her father's back. She was 20 years old, responsible, and had two and half years of college behind her so she went and got married.

Edgar was furious. Even though Leonard Morgan seemed to be a nice man, Edgar had his doubts about him. Edgar wanted Kay to date Leonard more than a month before she made any type of permanent decisions with Leonard. Edgar just did not trust Leonard. He was much too old for Kay and Edgar felt Leonard's intention were mostly financial.

However, there was nothing Edgar, or Kay's mother, Marie, could do to stop them. It was done.

Two months after Kay and Leonard were married; Leonard suddenly discovered he had extrasensory perception. Strangely enough he did not want Kay to tell anyone about his psychic abilities. Kay promised she would not even bring the subject to attention. She thought it was a joke.

Leonard's predictions, at first were increasingly precise and humorous. There were those predictions that were comical, such as the times he would say the phone was going to ring and it would. He would go as far as to name the person making the call. 9 out of 10 times, he was accurate. What started out as a joke soon became a nightmare. Leonard predicted the day Kay's father would die. Kay laughed at him momentary, then remembering the past predictions; she became scared for her father's life. Later, when Kay thought Leonard had left for the office, she telephoned her father with concerns. She asked Edgar if he had been to the doctor lately or had a recent physical examination.

Edgar replied, "About a month ago I went in for my yearly physical. Mr. Blackstone went with me. The doctor said I couldn't be in better shape for a man of my age. Kiddoo, don't tell me you are worried about me?"

Kay, knowing she could not tell him about Leonard's predictions, decided to lie.

"I had a dream you died, Daddy." Kay said. "The dream was so real, I had to call and find out for myself that you were alright."

"It was only a dream, sweetheart. Nothing to worry about," Edgar said. "By the way, how is your husband? What is the name of that company he works for?"

Kay answered, "He has been working for Bentley Engineering for more than a year. The owner, Mr. Tom Bentley, trained him the first week he worked there. They really seem to like him. Of course, I don't blame them, he spend most of his time working. Daddy, getting back to my dream, would you please stay in today with mother. I know it was just a dream, but some dream can be so real."

Edgar snapped, "Kay, forget the dream for a minute. I would like to know more about the kind of work Leonard does. I want my only child to be happy. Is he a good provider? I like to know that the allowance I give you is just extra money."

Kay signed, "I know that, Daddy. I'm just fine. You should have stopped giving me an allowance when I got married. I do appreciate your help, but it is not necessary. We are fine. "

Soon the telephone conversation was finished. Kay thought she convinced her father of their financial state. Edgar thought he had convinced Kay he would stay in all night. Kay went down stairs to the library to study where she found Leonard reading a magazine on bomb shelters.

"I thought you went to the office! What's that you are reading?" She asked Leonard.

"I went to the drug store to get some magazines. I am reading about bomb shelters," he answered.

"Why in the world would you be reading something like that? I know something more relaxing you could be doing." She said.

"Kay," Leonard said. "Have you read the paper lately or listened to the news? Just last week, a small country was invaded and hundreds of people were killed because they were not prepared. It could happen here. This country could go to war tomorrow or a week from now. If we had a bomb shelter, we might...
