Chapter 1: What is the significance of the year 1990 in Angela's story?
At its core, the science, you can't argue with. I'm worried about all the science. Up in the sky.
It's almost frustrating that it's happening. I'm going to die. His limbs were just like, wrong.
Everybody moves back into the light, even if it takes them a minute. My name is Angela. I live here in Santa Clarita. I work in the cruise industry. I work in the corporate office, so not on the cruise ships themselves. I work on the customer service side of life. So I grew up in LA, so like Melrose, Fairfax area. I went to Fairfax High School.
My family immigrated back in like, I was two, so like 74. And we pretty much lived in that same small area, that neighborhood from that point on. So I want to say I was like my first year into high school, just a high school kid, like hanging out with my friends, avoiding going to school as much as possible. God, I hated going to school. But yeah, just the normal teenage stuff.
You know, I grew up right off of Melrose, right in like the heyday of Melrose, like that, I want to say the late 80s era. probably mid to late 80s. You know, there's that really like alternative kind of punk scene going on. So it was fun. It was, you know, I could leave the house, go walking distance. There was restaurants and shops and all sorts of stuff to do. So, you know, it was a good time.
It was fortunate to be there at that period of time. I think that the first time I actually saw Tony was towards, I want to say towards the end of that first year of high school. I don't know. I just saw him in passing one day. I think I was between classes for some reason. I was going to do something. And I kind of saw him walking through like the quad area.
And he caught my eye because he didn't look like anyone who had gone to our school. I mean... You get used to, you know, you're at the end of the year, so you've gotten used to seeing everybody come and go pretty much at that point. Big guy, super long hair, almost like football kind of structure because he's probably near 200 pounds, I think, at the time.
But just big smile, just had kind of a presence to him, so he definitely caught my eye. I didn't talk to him for quite a bit. I don't remember exactly how it came to be. Like I know, because like I said, I lived right down the street. So I don't know.
He must have at some point determined I lived really close because I'd start to see his friend's little like Volkswagen Rabbit, like him and his friend driving by the house. Randomly back and forth. And then he ended up following my girlfriend and I. She used to live just down the street from me. And then at the beginning of that year, her family relocated over to Toluca Lake.

Chapter 3: What happens during the fateful trip to Vegas?
So I think that's kind of where I got into that habit of, I had started to do the same on my own. So yeah, it was just a normal morning, at least as normal as my morning was at that point. But this was probably a couple of months after the accident. It was a normal routine. I probably did this, I don't know, I want to say every day, but probably a good, you know, a few times a week.
Um, so I got up, got ready, uh, went and got flowers. Um, my, my mom's friend had a flower shop over on, uh, like Highland and Franklin. Um, so I went in there, I would see her and we'd sit down and have coffee and just chat for a It was normal like any other day that I was going to the cemetery, I guess. Nothing unusual. At this point, we're probably into summer, like early summer, maybe June.
And so it was nice. It was warm out. It was really kind of a beautiful day. And, uh, yeah, so I, I drove in, drove up to his grave site and, uh, to the normal RIS team, you know, I brought in the flowers and kind of sat down and there was no one there. It was like during the week, uh, there was really nobody there. It was, it was pretty empty.
Um, middle of the day kind of thing, uh, late morning probably. And I laid down next to the gravesite and was just kind of chilling, you know, talking. I didn't really talk anything out to any people, so I guess I was kind of talking stuff out either to him or myself or both of us, I don't know. But just talking out loud to myself.
I probably was cursing at him a bit for putting us into this stupid position and then bailing basically, you know, just starting this whole nightmare of a train of crap and then just, I'm out, you guys get to deal with it now kind of thing. And then just was kind of enjoying the sunshine and just
taking a breath and relaxing for just a second and kind of working through some of the feelings of all that had happened, you know, the last few months prior to that. So the, the accident, the, and just the chaos, um, that happened after. Um, so I'm laying there and, uh, I'm just looking up at the sky and it's a beautiful day, clear skies, not a cloud in sight.
The sun shines like kind of behind me, so it's not really in my face. So I'm just laying there looking at the pretty blue skies and I blink and then almost immediately I see something in my face. Like, I mean, it had to be inches from my face. If it was a foot, I'd be shocked it was that far back. And I was startled.
Before my brain could even wrap its head around what was happening, my body completely reacted out of sheer panic. I jumped up from my laying down position. I start jumping up. So that's why I kind of know that I wasn't asleep. It wasn't imagination. It wasn't a dream. It wasn't anything like that. I know I physically reacted to this thing. It was almost water-like. It was like a bubble, right?
So it's clear, but like a bubble, you can see it has a shape, like an outline, right? It's round. It was probably like the same size as my face. So I feel like... In relationship to me, it had to be, you know, about the same. As far as the rest of it, it didn't really have an outline. It was very, it happened very quickly. It was very squishy. It was like this, it moved like it was underwater.
