	"Aaaaaaiiiiiiyyyyyyeeeeee!"

	Thud.  Ground Zero.

	The body collided into the ground at a high velocity, so high that  
it could no longer accelerate.  When the instructors and other sky divers 
saw what happened, they came running to the spot where it landed.  Upon 
reaching the spot they just stared at the body with amazement, as if it had 
performed some magic tricks.

	Upon reaching the site of the crash, Ned decided to see what all of 
the hub-bub was and jandered up to the massive crowd that had gathered to 
see the body.  He went up to someone to ask what was going on but no one 
answered.  After tapping gently on the chap next to him to get his attention 
and failing, he yanked on his shoulder and the man fell without a sound.  
The man stood up and looked toward where the body was, not even giving Ned 
a glance.  Ned felt a presence at his back and turned to see a car of 
people.  They looked like a family on the way to the beach with that 
rediculous yellow and white striped umbrella in the back of their station 
wagon.  He ran up to the car and noticed an eerie silence when he 
approached the car.  The car was no longer running.  Ned screamed and began 
to pound on the windshield until his hands hurt and were beginning to bleed.  
He turned and looked to see more carloads of people heading towards the 
circle.  He ran to his car and tried to start it but it wouldn't start.  
Exhorting a loud explicative he got out and ran into the trees not far away.
	
	Ned stood in the trees and watched for two days without realizing 
it.  Many more carloads of people, people on bikes and on foot showed up 
for the no reason that Ned could discern.  He decided to get some food for 
his aching stomach and went to find something.  He wove his way through cars 
for about twenty minutes, hoping to find a cooler or something.  As he 
neared the circle he noticed that the cars drove right into the crowd of 
people.  Parts of bodies stuck out from under cars as if still hoping to 
see what they came here for.  During his journey he started to scream and 
as this awful wail continued, he lashed out, striking the masses with his 
hands and feet.  Slavering at the mouth he fell to his knees in utter 
exhaustion.  He looked next to him to see the woman whom had crashed into 
the ground days ago.  He began to cry and pound on her orange jumpsuit 
covered chest.  He grabbed her head and placed it in his lap, crying and 
rocking back and forth.  He began to sing lullabies to her, streaks covering 
his face where the tears had been flowing.  He rose after hours of singing, 
let out the most god-awful scream and fell over, never to rise again.
