WHAT IF ALIENS INVADE TOMORROW?

How would you respond if hostile aliens attacked our planet? Would you rally and fight back? Would you just try to survive? Or would you try to join them? In this post I would like to share one of my favorite tv shows: Falling Skies. The mystery challenge in this post will be: Why do the aliens invade Earth in Falling Skies? It comes down to one word. It can be found in the post, just follow the train. See if you can figure it out.

Falling Skies centers around the story of Tom Mason and his family. Before the invasion, Tom was a History Professor. He has three sons; Matt, age 8 I believe, Ben, age 13 or 14, and Hal, age 17 or 18. Early on after the first attack where many people were murdered by the aliens, Ben was captured. The aliens go after the kids and put something on their backs that controls them. Then they basically are slaves working for the aliens. Tom Mason and the other two kids must leave their home; Boston, Massachusetts. They join a small group of people who call themselves the 2nd Massachusetts or 2nd Mass. They plan on fighting back against the aliens to take back their home. As Tom says when they are leaving the city, “Retreat, regroup, return, revenge.”

Falling Skies will take you into a mysterious world where aliens have taken over. The story of Falling Skies is not about aliens, but about how people can overcome major tragedies. The characters are awesome and reveal what it takes. You see, when a tragedy like this happens, you need different kinds of people. You need people who are creative, tough, and kind of crazy. You need people who can fight, one way or another, and people who think differently. Falling Skies reveals the value in a lot of people that many times the world doesn’t see.

What will it take for Tom Mason and the 2nd Mass to win the war against the aliens? I;ll give you a hint:

At one point Tom Mason is talking to one of his sons after he had managed to escape the aliens and return to the 2nd Mass. His son is struggling with how the aliens have tried to mess with him. He tells Tom, “The key is hate. If you hate them, then they can’t get in your head.”

Tom answers, “You’re right, hate is a powerful emotion, and I hate them too, but it wasn’t my hate that kept me going all these months. It was my love for you and your brothers.”

DARKCORNER LAND FEATURE: THE CRAZIEST WAVES YOU’VE EVER SEEN

“YOU MAY BE THE ONLY LIGHT THEY EVER SEE”

In this DARKCORNER LAND FEATURE you will travel far up north to the North Lake. Check the page DARKCORNER LAND to see it on the map. I’ll give you a hint: it’s in the north. You will need to put on about 5 fur coats if you have them because it will be freezing cold. Ready? Let’s go.

The North Lake is a really, really giant lake the size of the state of Iowa in the USA or maybe about the size of the country of Great Britain, more or less. First you have to climb through the Massive Icy Mountains which are really difficult to climb and extremely slippery. Then you will see it from a high distance. From the months of September-May the lake is completely frozen solid. From the months of June-August it is not, and that’s when you can see the waves active. These waves are unbelievably massive. They rise as high as city towers like in New York City or Tokyo. They rise up from different parts of the lake and crash at different points in the middle. When they crash they thunder that seems like earthquake. No one has dared to try surfing or sailing in the waters, not yet anyway…

During the other months, the lake remains completely frozen, in fact, on September 1st at midnight, the lake freezes instantly, including the waves wherever they are. Some crazy people have sailed boats right before midnight knowing the waves would freeze before crashing on them. Other crazy people try surfing the great waves just before they’re about to crash, but they better time it right. The less crazy people wait until the lake has frozen, then go out and camp out on the lake. You can still see waters moving underneath and hear crashes below. The waters are amazing colours of blue, purple, green, and red, constantly changing and flashing all across the surface and below. Some crazy people of course will camp out when it’s close to midnight of June 1st when in an instant the lake unfreezes. Some of them wait until the last minute to get off the lake.

There’s something mysterious about this lake; the mad waves, the crazy colours swimming underneath, the dragging sounds, and the mysterious flashing lights in the surrounding mountains. Many people believe the aliens created this place or are doing something really mysterious and secret…

That’s why some people travel there, to explore the lake and see if they can find whatever secrets the aliens may be hiding. Would you go there? Would you try sailing, swimming, or surfing the crazy waves? Leave a comment below. Check out the next mystery challenge. After that is a bonus mystery story with a mystery challenge each chapter leading up to the first story in the series:

The Cashes Dade Ghost Strikers

Do you think the aliens are hiding something really secret up there? What do you think they might be doing? It takes people who are determined and crazy to even explore a place like this, but the people in DarkCorner Land may need these kind of people to lead them in a great revolution.

THE SILENT NIGHT MYSTERY OF CAROLMIRE

“The aliens are hiding a secret at the mountain top

This secret would defeat them and make their oppression stop

The answer will be buried directly under the shimmering stone

Cade Mayson will charge up the mountain to find this alone

He will wait until the night before Christmas to make his key move

He taps at his sides, hearing the music in his head, to get in the groove

First the dark mist must fall over the valley setting the chill

Then the towering forest across the mountain must go still

He follows the rhythmic hum vibrating across the ground

Then will come the booming strikes always coming around

The leaves always rustle, making popping sounds, energetic and bright

Cade will smile confidently when he takes in the sight

The chilling winds will rush over the lower mountain soon

Cade will take off in a brilliant flash, flying by the light of the moon

Eerie green alien lights will shoot out directing the ghosts’ chase

He makes such sharp turns over the rocks, they can’t keep pace

Alien lights fire up along the upper mountain ridge like a fence

Cade has a creative way to get past their defense

He slips off his shoes running up the mountain in silence

He will flash a light where the leaves rustle in the wind rush

He smiles back at the frantic lights as he enters the hush

He will hear them singing, with voices blended, a song

They’re from the place where the fountain stone is strong

Cade will hear the chorus from ChristmasLand in Carolmire

Their voices sound haunted, yet bright, rising higher

They celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, the glow

They celebrate while they are struggling, feeling so low

They know the secret revealed in their song, Silent Night

It began when in the deep underground they lost sight

They see in the deepest dark there is a distant light

The citizens discovered that they each had a way to shine

Their light could reach a dark corner in the mine

Now they only need Cade to see the candle in the sky

At the right moment, this will reveal how the aliens can die

They are so advanced and powerful in every way but one

Their light is overpowering, like the light of the sun

The citizens will gather under the shining strong light

They sing and move to the bright rhythmic music of Silent Night

They each shine their light to lead the others to shine bright

Cade will find out the real reason the aliens are watching Carolmire

He’ll see what model they’re building behind their powerful fire

He will be shocked when he sees the fountain stone so much higher”

THE SECRET IN THE SKY OVER CAROLMIRE

The Carolmire Prophecy is about to be revealed. Can you solve this mystery challenge? What is the hidden image in the sky shown in the picture above? The following prophecy will show clues to what the answer is. Find out the intriguing answer which will in turn be a clue to the deep secret the aliens are hiding. If you have a guess at what is hidden in the picture leave a comment below. Now, get ready to enter the city of Carolmire in the mysterious far northern kingdom called “CHRISTMAS LAND.”

CAROLMIRE PROPHECY

“It began when the aliens mysteriously ranked us all BlackStar

They claim our constant dancing meant we’d never make it far

We were bright and energetic, with music in us all the time

Yet somehow that is why we failed, our energy our only crime

The key to the mystery is what is found under the broken clock

Once you find what is hidden, the deep secret you will begin to unlock

So the time came then, we had to leave the school we’d made our own

They sent us to live in the freezing cold , isolated and alone

The aliens claim we are a cancer to the world; we have no right

We are allowed to live only by mining for them the glowing crystal light

We always live in the cold darkness, the time of winter stays frozen still

So in the dark night our citizens keep a candle lit up on their window sill

We only see dim light during the day, and it’s so dark at night

Yet we are miners so we know how to find the distant light

We celebrate Christmas once every month, so our city is always bright

We play the music all the time, singing in the streets, an awesome sight

On every Christmas Eve we sing Silent Night while gazing at the sky

Then for one week we stay at home letting our fires rise so high

We will never forget the night we saw him, climbing in the dead of night

He was heading for the aliens hidden secret-their green glowing light

On a silent night we finally had hope our dark fight would be won

We’ll never tell the aliens that we know his name is Cade Mayson”

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM CASHES DADE PART 2

“They saw us, the ghosts, I mean. The windows turned bright green like on fire. Dark ghostly figures flew out of the windows. The dark spirits were after us.

Blake turned to me and said, ‘Cade, we’ve got to move, now.’ We ran along the ridge. We started to pass the empty ghost city up close. We passed dark, rotting, broken towers with empty streets curving in and out through the city. It was chilling silence except we heard several ghosts in the distance groaning, like in circles, getting louder and louder, then quieter and quieter. I turned back momentarily. I saw dark flashes on the trail along the ridge. Blake pointed to the shadowy forest in the valley below. I said, ‘That’s too scary.’

He looked at me like I was crazy and asked, ‘That’s more scary than being chased by dark spirits?’ I thought about it for a moment while we sprinted ahead. I nodded, ‘Yeah. They may be haunted.’

He was like, ‘Come on, Cade.’ He knows how I joke. He was getting kind of irritated so I told him I had a plan which was mostly true. Bright red clouds crashed directly over us, thundering like an explosion. They cut through the black towers with dark blue stained glass windows. I started to hear singing again, ghosts singing, the same haunting song as before, swaying up and up, then down. Their voices were really hollow and sad. They echoed across the empty streets.

Blake turned to me and said, ‘They’re getting close.’ We started hearing their fast-paced whispers. Chilling winds started pulling at us from behind. ‘If you have a plan, now would be a good time,’ I heard Blake say. I took out my blue shell that flashes a blue light with my shadow. It’s hard to explain. ‘When I count to ten, break right.’

‘Why do you have to count to ten?’

‘So we go at the same time.’

‘Then just say, ‘Break right.’ You don’t have to count.’

‘If I don’t count, you won’t be ready.’

‘Yeah I will. I’ll see the light flash and that’s when we go. I’m not stupid.’

‘I didn’t say you were stupid.’

‘I didn’t say you did.’ I glanced back. I saw dark hands reaching towards us. ‘Ready now,’ I said. I let the light flash. I dove and slid all the way down the hill while Blake sprinted down. I looked up. The dark shadows disappeared over the ridge. Me and Blake celebrated. We tried one of those chest bumps, but I went too high and he went too low and we both went down. Then we started jogging around the rest of the ghost city. It was really quiet even with the ghosts’ singing. I gazed up at the aliens’ flag they raise high over every city. It’s blue with a white star in the center, that always glows softly in the moonlight, but it’s five lines that don’t quite connect. I hate it. They raised it over our city and our school. They think it’s all theirs now. I saw faces in the windows, just staring at us. They had different expressions that were just frozen like that, but I heard them whispering to us. Then we stopped cold. The clouds parted overhead. Breaking moonlight lit up a ghost in hazy green. We could barely see him. He was sitting out on a bench just staring out into the empty street.

He said in a low, hollow voice, ‘They never saw me. They never saw me. I should have been seen, but they never saw me.’ I looked and saw his shirt glowing softly on his shoulders where I saw he had a BlackStar patch. Me and Blake hurried ahead. The slow rhythmic booming started up again, growing louder and louder. The ghosts’ sad song grew quieter but more clear. We were almost at the edge about to break away into the hills back to Dayces Cameron. Then Blake asked the question I didn’t want to ask.

‘What if this is where the BlackStar Students live when they die?’ I would discover the answer to that question much later, and it shocked me. We turned the last corner. Dark shadows fell away behind us. The dark spirits would be back soon. Then we saw it; a massive clock glowing green against the red sky. The haunting song echoed around it, going around and around. I could finally hear what they were singing, over and over, the same lines, over and over and over.”

“The clock is ticking, they wait for their time where they lean

The dark ghosts are singing, their desperate hope to be seen”

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM CASHES DADE PART 1

JOURNALS OF CADE MAYSON

“The clock is ticking, they wait for their time to arrive where they lean

The dark ghosts are singing, their desperate hope…

When the aliens invaded our kingdoms, they took power over our school. Now all of us students have rankings. Their standards are really high. Their tests…don’t get me started on those. I’m one of the BlackStar Students, the lowest ranking, meaning we’re failing. They watch us in class you know. I guess you don’t know that’s why I’m telling you. Me and my friend Blake got in trouble yesterday. It was during a math lesson that was well into the THIRD hour. Let’s have a moment of silence for that. Aaaaannndddd, okay, moment’s over. We tried staying still but we were so bored, so we played Crazy Catch. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a game where you throw a marble as hard as you can and the other kid tries to catch it. You get points for making him drop it and the crazier the catch the more points you get, you know, the one who catches it. Catching on? Sorry. Anyway, Blake threw it so high I had to jump up from my desk, I caught it right between my two fingers, then I had to kind of roll and spring back up and quickly dive back to my chair. Somehow they saw me. We had after school detention for a week cleaning the halls and dishes, way too many dishes.

One night me and Blake went exploring in the hills to the west of our City, Dayces Cameron. We found dark towers the aliens were building. People say they are building them for ghosts. We see bizarre lights in the windows sometimes. It was a cold night. Bright red clouds were rushing across the sky in three directions. We stayed low, in the shadows, so we wouldn’t be seen. That’s when we heard it, the singing, ghostly singing. They sang this sad, haunting song, the melody going up, then down, then up again, then down, over and over kind of bouncing. As we got closer we heard this booming in a slow rhythm with the singing, this low boom, one after another, really slow. We saw a really bright greenish-gold light mysteriously lighting part of the City, but the rest of the towers were under the darkest shadows I’ve ever seen. We got closer and we heard someone groaning, really loud, just on and on and on. The song began to fill up the entire city, echoing between every tower in the still dead shine. The slow booms kept going with the one voice groaning. He sounded incredibly sad. Finally we understood some of what they were singing. They kept singing the same two lines over and over again:

The clock is ticking, they wait for their time to arrive where they lean

The dark ghosts are singing, their desperate hope…

Then we saw a tall bluff closer to the towers, so of course we climbed up. Blake scrambled up, but I got a running start and shot right up those rocks in only three jumps! That’s when we saw them, their faces, staring out with sad, empty gazes…directly at us.”

Check out what happens next on the next post. What is the ghosts’ message? Can you figure out what the rest of the second line is? Leave your guesses in the comment section below.

MYSTERIOUS LIGHTS OVER CASHES DADE

“YOU MIGHT BE THE ONLY LIGHT THEY EVER SEE”

I’ll never forget where I was when I first saw the lights. I was out in the river wash west of Cashes Dade playing hide and seek with my friend Blake. He’s in the Sixth Grade with me. This is classified, so don’t tell anyone we were playing out there, it’s a secret. You see, the river wash is a massive field with many of these narrow valleys where at any moment fast raging waves just roll through before going back out to the river. I know, I know, it’s kind of sort of dangerous, but it’s not as risky as it sounds. You just have to be ready, like all the time, otherwise at any moment you might get swept up in the rush. Anyway, I was hiding behind the haunted stones. I saw Blake getting close. He’s fast, but I’m fast and stealthy. I shot out like a lightning flash…Blake says they’re not haunted, but I know they are. They glow when the sun sets and no, it’s not just the light reflecting. You see, I’ve also seen them light up…sorry, that’s not the point. What was I saying? Oh yeah, so I ran past and scrambled up some large stones. It took me only 3 jumps. That’s a new record! I did. Seriously. I really did. Anyway, that’s when I saw the flash. The entire sky lit up in this green flash like a slow explosion. Then the rush came. I heard this loud boom like a cannon taking up the entire sky. It pushed me back. That’s when I saw them, these triangle shapes lit up in bluish-gold lights like they were on fire. Then, I didn’t know what they were, but I do now. It’s a night I’ll never forget, the night the aliens invaded our Kingdoms. Then, they invaded our schools…
