Another Day in the Life of Everett Porter

The Black Void - Episode 51

Somewhere in the outskirts of Gallup, New Mexico...

What had started out as just another average day for Everett Porter was about to be anything but. Well, given the fact that this was New Mexico, a spaceship from another world paying a visit to the area wasn’t as far- flung a scenario as it might have been in say, back in his hometown of Boston (although with the Red Sox winning the World Series one could argue that anything could happen there). But it was still a notable and out of the ordinary event. Sort of.

Everett was a middle-aged man who had migrated to the desert southwest from Boston a few years back. He loved the clean air and wide open spaces that graced this part of the country, even if the folks out here were a little...eccentric. He especially loved the nights here, where one could gaze up at the expansive, prestine sky and make out every star as if they had just been placed there by God Himself.

His accommodations here were hardly extravagant, just a modest mobile home and an acre of land. Still, he loved it. It sure beat the inside of a jail cell.

For Everett, you see, was a wanted man. Robbing banks tended to do that to a person.

Well, getting back to the main event, Everett was walking his dog Sparky one cool morning when he noticed a strange object in the sky, slowly descending toward the rocky hills a few miles away. Something about the way it moved struck him as odd. Slowly the realization that this flying object was unlike anything he’d ever seen built by humans sank in...

  1. ...and, not being one to loose his calm under trying circumstances, he decided to investigate.
