Script:
Our teacher said one day that knowledge is power, and I had to raise my hand, even though I don't like to. I like to sit and be quiet and watch people and wait for lunchtime. But I had to ask him if he was sure about that, or if maybe knowledge isn't just a curse. He asked me what I meant by that, and I said, hey, that's what my mother always says. Knowing is her curse, she whispers, touching my forehead at night softly with her long fingers like spiders' legs. I wake up in the middle of the night, and she's there whispering and rocking me. But I didn't tell my teacher that part.

Script:
All the pinups were stunned when Norma Jean destroyed herself by posing naked. When I rode the red car up Sunset past Gardner Junction, I tried to keep my eyes mostly focused on the south side of the street. Poor Norma Jean's nude picture, so big and so naked, larger than life above Tom Kelly's studio. All the other pinups said, she killed herself, Norma Jean's career is over. Of course, as Marilyn Monroe, Norma Jean later became the first nude model to hit the big time. A little over a mile from Myla and Dink's Laurel Canyon apartment, Crescent Heights Boulevard connects with Sunset Boulevard. On that storied corner was Schwab's Pharmacy, Drugstore to the Stars. It was there that Myla passed the time drinking coffee and chatting with friends at the lunch counter.

Script:
Audrey was quiet for a moment. I don't have any regrets about coming to Hollywood. But I do wonder sometimes where I'd be right now if my mother had lived. She turned her head to face Violet again. Do you ever wonder what your life would be like if different things had happened to you? Violet thought of her childhood friends back home who were all engaged, married, or pregnant, blissfully enjoying the existence she had always pictured herself living. It was such an ordinary life, but she had wanted it. She still wanted it, all the time.

Script:
When my husband Tim and I were freshly licensed and just beginning our careers in real estate, we didn't even know what we didn't know about anything. We had just started with Remax because it looked like a good location, and more importantly, it was near our tiny starter home. This was in the days prior to the internet, and our broker sat us down and gave us a Remax catalog of stuff to buy. The question was, where should we start? What should we invest in? How should we market ourselves? How should we generate leads? What should we do to follow up? These questions and a thousand others were on our mind. We thumbed through this huge catalog of stuff we were supposed to be spending money on with no real idea how to make choices. Just as today, agents are attacked every morning, noon, and night with email and text offers promising to be the best thing ever for their business. Where does business come from? Everyone wants to believe in an easy button, a silver bullet, or some secret. If I just do this, everything will be great. We believe in teaching the multi-spoke model, which we'll get into in the book. Our view is that there's not just one solution. You must be doing several different things. Because there's not a lot of specific and obvious direction, whether you're a new agent or you're a grizzled veteran, or you're getting back to the business, we want to address that and help every agent and broker who are ready to listen. This book is designed to give you the specific, proven rules of engagement that you can count on to serve you well in your pursuit of your real estate-funded goals and dreams.

Script:
I look at my tired reflection in the cracked makeup smeared mirror in front of me and sigh. I pull back my limp brown hair into a messy bun, then rub my eyes. It's been three weeks since they started. Jane down the road said she barely recognized me when I ventured into the store this morning. I get it, I barely recognize myself. The bright eyed, ready for the fight Daisy is gone. Sweetie, my boyfriend pops his head around the door with a small smile. Want a coffee? He's been doing his best, but he knows something severe is wrong. I can't pull myself to do anything. Thanks. I offer him a small smile and could burst into tears. He's so handsome, my David. He has dark brown hair, icy blue eyes, and soft features that make me feel warm. He's the only thing that does make me feel warm anymore. He leaves to make us coffee and I climb back onto my bed, pull my knees to my chest and wrap my arms around them. I look at the peeling blue wallpaper.

Script:
A retired nurse from St. Augustine, Florida, was abducted by aliens three times as a child. That was just the beginning. A Coast Guard sailor on liberty in Bermuda in 1964 meets a beautiful nursing student, and together they wander into a quaint village illuminated by kerosene lamps. The sailor has the odd feeling that he and his new friend had lived in the village in a past life, but when he returns a few days later, there's no village. Later he learns that the village was totally destroyed by a hurricane in the late 1700s and never rebuilt. And he learns much more. A retired veterinarian interacts with mysterious ethereal beings on a regular basis for more than 20 years, and they sometimes appear fully physical. Those are just a small sampling of stories we've heard over the years. Many were sent to us from people who have read our blog that covers synchronicity, the paranormal, and UFO alien encounters. For the most part, they are ordinary people who have experienced extraordinary things. And they have a need to tell someone about it. They come to us because they've seen stories others have sent and know we won't say they must be mistaken or that it couldn't have happened that way. They know we won't tell them that aliens don't exist, that they didn't really walk into a village that was destroyed hundreds of years ago, that time travel and teleportation are impossible. We remain open-minded about each story we hear, but we also ask questions and dig into the details as much as we can. One story, Bermuda Past, was written after dozens of email exchanges with the two people who walked into a village that doesn't exist in our time. The retired veterinarian answered numerous questions we posed over a period of months, and we met with her on several occasions. It's likely that people feel they can confide in us because we've had our own share of experiences that are beyond strange, and we've blogged about them. Trish's deceased parents appeared to her during a meditation class. While driving to a dental appointment, Rob heard a voice telling him to pay attention to the time and to where he was. Moments later, he found himself miles away, driving in another direction. Oddly enough, he still arrived on time for his appointment, approaching from a different direction. Late one night, only hours after our daughter Megan was born, Trish was awakened by someone in her maternity ward calling her name, but the other three women were asleep and the door to the room was shut. When it happened again, Trish realized it was an internal voice. She shut her eyes and saw Megan as a young woman. She requested her birth information and asked questions about where we were living, what our lives were like. The world in which she lived had been vastly altered by climate change. This was in 1989, long before that phrase became commonplace. Years ago, we didn't share these types of experiences with other people. Instead, we wove them into our fiction. But that changed once we started writing about synchronicity and the paranormal. We know we aren't alone in experiencing the unbelievable, and that's why we've compiled these stories. The experiences we consider beyond strange happen to ordinary people going about their lives and involve events that mainstream science would consider impossible, that at best might be categorized as anecdotal anomalies. Some of these stories involve face-to-face encounters with aliens, others involve interactions with the afterlife, some, oddly enough, even involve a mix of the two.

Script:
I wholeheartedly hoped that wasn't the dad, because his eyes rested on me, narrowed with disdain. My heart dropped into my stomach, because this isn't the impression I wanted him to have of me, covered in mud, soaked, with a matching beta. I looked to Kane for help, but his eyes were wide and his mouth had dropped open. He stepped forward in response to my distress, closing his mouth. I hope he caught a fly in the process. Lena, we thought we would stop by while Ace holds the fort. It's been quiet in my territory, but seems like yours has been busy. Yes, it has. We just chased some wolves out of the territory before coming here. I tried to use it as an excuse for why we were so dirty. Clearly, his dad snarked. His frown deepened and he had the air of someone who was always proper and formal, no matter the occasion. Let me introduce my dad, Richard. He's wanted to meet you for a while now. How about you get cleaned up and we go get dinner? Kane motioned his eyes toward the stairs, telling me to hurry. Of course, dinner sounds like an excellent idea. I'll just go do that cleaning thing. I ranted awkwardly, already starting to walk away. Getting out of their line of vision, I bolted to my room, chiding myself for not heeding Marie's warning. At the same time, I couldn't believe their dad was so rude.
