A/N: Well, this is it. The end of Words Spoken Silently. I've had a great time writing this story and I'd like to thank you for the views, reviews, and favorites. If it weren't for you, this story would just be a one-shot about Penny's mom. I'm so glad that you encourage me to extend this. You've given me nothing but support and fabulous reviews for. Please hug your parents when you're done reading this story, because this story is desiccated to all of the parents (and/or guardians) who love their kids.

My name is Janice Xiong. When the Perdido Beach anomaly started, I was too drunk to care about what was going to happen to my middle daughter, Penny. When it ended, I was completely sober and working to regain the custody of my other two daughters, Rose and Dahlia. I was happy for the families that had been reunited when the wall came down, but it was a bittersweet moment. I knew that Penny wouldn't be coming back. I would never even get to know my own daughter. That was the kind of realization I would've drowned in alcohol a couple of months ago, but now I'm better than that. Even though I'll never get to know Penny, I have two other wonderful daughters who are still with me today.

My name is Anthony Lennox. When the Perdido Beach anomaly started, I was napping on the couch. Being a mail carrier takes up a good chunk of the hours that most people use for sleeping. When it ended, I was in a therapy session. My phone buzzed with a text from my wife that said the Perdido Beach Anomaly just came down. I felt a pang of jealousy aimed towards the people who were about to be reunited with their children. I would never be able to do that, or eat at Panda Express ever again.

My name is Wendy Yang. When the Perdido Beach Anomaly started, I was getting a manicure. When it came down, I was standing right outside of it with a sign clutched in between my French tips. What happened to Taylor Yang? That question remained unanswered for about five months. My husband, Ryan, and I had gone camping in hopes of getting more in touch with nature. We hadn't even known that the forest we were camping in had once been part of the FAYZ. Then we saw her. She was made of gold, but she was still undeniably our daughter. I finally got the story I had been searching for. I tried to share it with the world but everyone wrote me off as a crazy parent who couldn't deal with the death of her own daughter. Still, there were enough believers to give her the same legendary status as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.

My name is Connie Temple. When the Perdido Beach Anomaly started I was writing in my diary. When I was watching Eat Pray Love. My phone buzzed with some sort of alert. I absent mindedly picked it up, not expecting it to be about anything important. I couldn't have been any more wrong about that. I was going to see both of my sons. I was wrong about that. Caine had not only died, but he'd apparently been responsible for every bad thing that had happened in the FAYZ. I guess my intuition had always been correct.

My name is Daniel Soren. When the Perdido Beach Anomaly started, I was at work. When, it ended I was also at work. You didn't get to be rich by staying home all day. I always known there was something wrong with my adopted son Caine. I just never knew what. When I heard his letter being read on the news, I finally learned exactly what it was. Everything.

My name is Amelia Stanton. When the Perdido Beach Anomaly started, I was trying to figure out what I should make for dinner. When it ended, I was browsing the internet for a good therapist. I know that my son, Drake, didn't want one, but that didn't stop me from looking. I got side track and ended up at a news website where I saw that the FAYZ wall had come down. Unfortunately, my son, Drake hadn't survived. After hearing the stories about what he had done, people started questioning me and his step-father as parents. Nosy people starting coming over to our house. One day, after my husband had given me a particularly brutal beating. I did what I had been afraid of doing for almost the entirety of my second marriage. I told the woman, a curious neighbor from down the street, about every time that my husband had turned on me with psychical violence. In the end, my current husband ended up being arrested by my ex-husband, the sheriff, for domestic abuse.

My name is Agatha Eustace. When the Perdido Beach Anomaly started, I was making tuna noodle casserole. When it ended, I was knitting a sage green scarf. I didn't have a connection with any of the children who had been trapped in the anomaly, but I was connected with one of their mothers. I'm the full time caretaker of Laura Ladris and also a registered nurse. I try to help her make the best out of her current state, in which she's barely able to function. I am not however, a baby sitter. I wasn't about to take care of Laura's bratty teenage daughter, Diana, especially after finding out about everything that she had been part of in the FAYZ. I couldn't live with myself if I spent the rest of my working life catering to the every whim if somebody who had been so close to that overly confident maniac, Caine Soren, and his monstrous lackey, Drake Merwin.

My name is Janelle Fisk. When the Perdido Beach Anomaly thingy started, I was at pre-school. I think I was doing colors. When it was over, I was at pre-school again. It's what four year olds do. I was really super happy about The Breeze coming home and teaching me and Christie how to be superheroes just like her! That didn't get to happen, though. The Breeze isn't gonna come home. She went up to heaven instead.

My name is Murray Lazar. When the Perdido Beach Anomaly started, I can't actually remember what I was doing. I don't remember what I was doing on 9/11 either. I just not very good at remembering things like that. I remember how I felt, though. I was worried, I had no idea what was going to happen to my daughter, Lana. I didn't even know if she was still alive. There was always something to remind me of her, to make me worry about what was going inside the anomaly. Even though I don't usually remember what I was doing on important dates, I remembered exactly what I did the day the anomaly came down, though. I was buying a one way plane ticket from California to Las Vegas for an unaccompanied minor.
