     original,in honor
of the 1982 movie
by John Carpenter
called The Thing .

 Cold always cold,freezing it was night or day .
We were there for a reason and no one else
knew why but us .

' Damn freezing weather,' said Col , Weathers
as they to drove their snowmobiles across the
white wasteland .' How long before we'd reach
it ,lieutenant Harrison ? ' ask Weathers looking
back behind him at another snowmobile that in
fact that was following his .
 

' Almost there ,sir ! ' yelled Harrison over then
the cold chill wind that always swept over the
wasteland of snow and ice ,' Just over the hill
up ahead,pretty soon you'll see a white glow .'
 

There were five snowmobiles all following the
lead ones of Weathers and Harrison .And on
each snowmobile two passengers rode them.
 

Lieutenant Jeb Harrison was already out here
doing recon and surveying what came down .
 

Harrison's heart raced for the second time as
he knew already what was out here,but that in
fact was all he knew, he wanted to explore that
what he saw but was ordered too report back to
the military base and scientific base known as
only RFTUAU.Research For The Unknown and
Unexplained . Unusual activity was rather high
of late up at the polar ice caps ,especially that in
fact where the North Pole was located .
 

Jeb Harrison only felt afraid or scared one other
time in his life was when he was younger his own
father would start drinking and he had no where
to go, his father would hit him ,then one night as
his father laid unconscious after drinking heavy he
decided to leave him, and when he was old enough
he joined the Army but never return home .
 

Suddenly they all stopped their snowmobiles as Jeb
pointed to where the glow was and Col Weathers in
fact buttoning up his winter jacket,took a deep breath
he ordered his men to follow behind him as he check
his gun and walkie talkie  and backpack he carried to.
 

Thet followed both Lieutenant Harrison and the Col as
they approached the side of the hill and slowly stopped
as they looked at one another surprised and concerned
on everyone's faces as to what they were looking at now.
 

' Oh my God,' yelled one Samantha Collins as she step
on the side of the hill looking down at the center of what
looked like an artificially made crater and what made it .
 

end.
