And Yet They Smile...

You have just stumbled upon an adventurous tale of four middle school kids, Zena, Zach, Hannah, and Dex, traveling on a ship in a race to the Bermuda Triangle! This gripping story will have you on the edge of your seat as they encounter the first pangs of love, along with elusive mysteries that eventually lead them to aliens! Will they make it out alive?? Or will the aliens that have taken innocent captives for so many years get ahold of them first?? Will Zena EVER discover what happened to her father? Or is she going to keep wasting time obsessing over Zach? Find out now! Though this is a shallow story that was written by just a young and naïve middle school girl (me), you may still find amusement in the poorly developed writing skills, the shaky yet apparent unraveling of the story, and the fact that no matter how bad things seem to be, everyone still manages to smile!

Hence, the sarcastic title I gave it when I was older.

FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT:

If anyone cares to know, the whole story was inspired by a little book I had about strange disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, a "make pretend" or role playing game I made up with my little brother based on that book, and the videogame "Free Doom". This was a free version of the classic Doom, and I was running it in the Risen3d engine with different character models. In this story, I was describing the exact character models I was using in the game, and the room I described towards the end was the end level.

Thus began the clashing of ideas
