Kenneth Christopher Avery

Avery grows up in a farming family and community, and grows up unknowingly on the same land that used to belong to Khan’s family which was called Wishbone Farms (formerly the Khan Family Farm). Avery at the time of the first novel is young and looking for a girlfriend. He attends the annual harvest celebration party and then something strange happens…. he is transported to another reality…by the girl he has had a crush on.

Avery is curious and creative, and he finds peace of mind in fixing things or disassembling machines to satisfy his curiosity and learn how they work. He is one of the lead mechanics for the family farm, and loves fixing and cleaning the heavy equipment as much as driving them. He dropped out of college to work full time on the farm due to a huge demand increase for food as much of the crops worldwide begin to get wiped out due to diseases and natural disasters. He doesn’t think about finishing college until he learns that the girl he has a crush on, Casey, was attending the same college as he was before he dropped out. He regrets dropping out and is bitter for a while, even to his friends and family. Then at the harvest party she comes back to town and he decides to make his move.

Chris Khan and Avery have a few things in common. Avery now lives on the Khan farm after the flood happened a decade ago. He notices some strange things about the farm as well, that a few strangers just appear in the fields out of nowhere.

When Avery goes to the party he is 16

He is raised in the farm house by his parents. When he is still an infant, one a New Year’s evening his parents suddenly disappear. Just by chance, the neighbors (The Hall family) who have a good relationship with his parents come to the door to ask if they want to come over and attend a New Year’s hoedown. (see story below)

Kim walked onto the front porch and politely knocked on the door. She had almost hesitated because she saw that there were no lights on, but she also knew that Avery’s family were avid star gazers and often would turn off all of their lights on their farm so they could sit out on their patio and watch the night sky. After a few taps on the screen door, she walked around the house to see if they were sitting on the patio. As she walked up to the patio she saw that the fire pit still had glowing coals, and the door from the house to the patio was wide open. Kim frowned and walked towards the open door. She thought it was odd that they would leave the door open like this, especially with an infant in the house. Mosquitoes or other insects could get in if they weren’t careful.

“Hey!” Kim called in her soft voice. (She is a cute Korean American, olive army jacket and hair in a sloppy bun). “Hey guys, its Kim!” she walked slowly through the dark house, feeling uneasy. Suddenly she heard a noise coming from upstairs and she froze. It sounded like the infant was crying. Her heart skipped a beat as terrible thoughts crept into her mind. What if there was someone dangerous in the house? What if she had just walked into a robbery – or worse?? She tried hard not to panic, and slowly let out a breath. The noise was coming from upstairs, and she knew that was where the infant’s room was. Her motherly instincts took over and she began to climb the staircase. She needed to make sure the infant was safe. She strained to detect any other noises over the creaking of her feet on the old wooden steps. She made the top of the stairs and creeped over to the infant’s bedroom, the source of the crying. She walked into the dark room and over to the crib where the infant was lying all alone.

“Oh honey, shhh shshh “she cooed as she swiftly picked up the small baby and cuddled it in her arms. Her heart ached that the poor baby had been alone in a dark house. Her senses went sharp again and she spun around to make sure that no one was creeping up on her in the dark. Her heart was still beating fast, and the baby could tell that Kim was on edge. He began to cry louder as he realized Kim wasn’t his mother, and Kim tried to soothe the baby with some gentle rocking. She would wait until the family got back, if they came back. Something was seriously wrong for the baby to be alone like this. Kim casually walked over and closed the bedroom door and locked it. She at least needed to feel like they were both safe. If anyone tried to get them, Kim would escape through the window and onto the porch roof if she had to. She wished she could call her husband for help. But if she didn’t return after an hour he would come looking for her like he sometimes did, to retrieve her from the endless conversations that usually happened between Kim and the wife (Avery’s Mom).

They realize the parents are gone and Avery is crying in his crib. The mom (Kim) waits with Avery for the parents to return, but they never do. After a day, the Hall family fills out a police report for missing persons. Avery lives with the neighbors for a few weeks, until the Khan farm begins to look abandoned. The Hall family has a son named Rich who just got married, is looking to start his own farm and he moves into the Khan farm temporarily with his young wife, who loves taking care of Avery. They raise him and she never has children of her own. Avery grows up on the farm, and makes friends. He attends the annual harvest party and finds Casey.

Avery learns later that his parents were Unnamed hybrids, and returned to the farm

 12.10.2021 – allsoooo … what are Unnameds? Or Una-meds LOL

to escape their planet. Then they suddenly have to leave one night, or are forced to return and they don’t let them know about Avery. Avery is more human than Unnamed, but Casey sees him for what he is. She sends him to the time of The Seam, a wild and weird place in post-apocalyptic Earth. Khan arrives sometime later and meets Avery. They realize that there is something different about each other, but they keep it to themselves. Until they later learn they are both of hybrid descendants…… and they lived at the portal for Unnameds.?

Avery’s Log

Hey, so I just figured out that this suit has a built in self-recording unit. Heeeyyy!!! I have no idea what is going on. This is actually all just a super long dream. That is the only way. I am currently walking behind Khan as we are descending down into this raging steam vent. Yay! I guess this suit will protect me. If not…. well I will wake up I guess. ….. Oh crap, Khan just said he can hear me. …… Oh, now I am not transmitting. Whoops. Good thing no one else will know. Oh right, this is all a dream anyway.
