When you get down to it, ultimately there is no good or evil, only a matter of perception.

Elf Storage

by Janice Dreamer

Colin creeped through the EZ-pass lane onto the Chesapeake Bay bridge. He swerved around a minivan crammed with beach paraphernalia whose driver was too distracted by screeching kids to move when a gap opened in front of him. He automatically cursed all the Balti-morons who created summer traffic hell in his rural stretch of Maryland nestled between the bay and the ocean resort towns. Especially on his homeward commute after a grueling workday. On Friday afternoon. On the Fourth of July weekend.

When I awoke I was lying in a hospital bed, that wouldn`t have been so bad but I couldn`t move I had been strapped down onto the bed.

What the hell was going on? why was I here? I hadn`t been sick or injured so what was going on. I could only move my head slightly from to side to side and noticed a drip that appeared to inserted into my body. I had no feeling anywhere the only sesations I had was sight, sound and smell.

Life carried on as usual it was if the war had passed us by on was happening on another planet.

The day of the big birthday party arrived and we set everything up in the meeting hall ready for lunch time and the kids were eager to start the day, we started with the usual party games then went to eat, each of birthday kids had their own cakes and we brought them in one at time.

I was hoping to sneak into the house and gather my thoughts, but of course, no such luck. Mom cornered me the second I walked in the door.

Part 16

Special Thanks to Wren Phoenix for the editing.

Synopsis:   After spending the last four days in the hospital, I was finally released. I was ready to face whatever life was going to throw at me. Thanks to Anthony and Janice, I was also ready to stop playing the victim, and stand up to my birth parents. It would be hard, and also scary, but I needed closure on that part of my life.

They say you can forgive anyone, but the truth is, you can never really forget. I could forgive my birth parents for the crap that they put me through, but some scars run too deep, especially the emotional ones.

Chapter Seventy-one

Bob looked out the back door toward the old shed where he saw his father sitting on the family's rather old riding lawn mower. He went out the door and as he started walking toward the shed he asked, “You okay, Pop?”

Looking up, his father replied, “Guess that depends on what you call okay.”

“Listen,” Bob started, “I know it's weird. Trust me, I know. The thing is, now that I've kinda gotten to know her...”

Winter was coming to an end and the thaw was starting and still the settlement was inaccessable but we knew it wouldn`t be long till that was no longer the case.

Now we were getting things ready for planting, we were going to have a problem as a couple of the horses needed shoeing and there was no blacksmith available.

At last ‘A life’

Chapter 65 Drying out

I was grateful to Kate for accompanying me and especially since it started to rain as we left the surgery. The warm spring weather had disappeared overnight and we were both unprepared as we ran to the car in a heavy squall of rain.

Kate was laughing as she opened the car door and I asked what was funny.
She said that I’d soon learned to run in heels and was surprised that I’d kept up with her.

Adrian was a bit of handful especially when it was time for him to go to bed, he seemed to get livelier but I managed in the end to get him bathed and in bed before seven o`clock each night.

Then it be time for either sewing, knitting embroidery or some other lessons in femininity, well we had a long winter ti face and it definately wouldn`t be boring.

Winter arrived with a vengence, the first night we had a blizzard and woke to find the snow at least six feet deep.

We took the best part of a week clearing the snow to get to the livestock pens, meeting hall and homes with everyone pitching in.
