Chapter 22: Dave

I got up Monday morning and went through my usual ablutions. When I went to put my pants on, I noticed that they were tighter than normal, so tight that I could barely fasten them. That was not good, now why would I be gaining weight. I thought about it for a while, and realized that with Thor out there, I was not getting any exercise.

Mark was a man with a past that seemed sure to catch up with him. But there were people in high places that were looking out for him, even as his life and his job seemed to be taking him in a very odd direction.

I was fresh out of college at twenty-one years old with my master’s degree in hand. I had done it in four years, but should have been there for six years. I had a perfect 4.0 average to boot.

Criminal science had been my study of choice and I had more than a few offers on the table as far as work was concerned.

I wish to thank Top Cow for such great characters and give them kudos for showing the development of a lesbian relationship in mainstream comics.

In case it wasn't obvious by now, I'm really lazy about writing. I haven't abandoned this story, but I usually don't feel like putting thoughts to type. If someone feels the need to write a rather long comment or otherwise get in touch with me, I lurk the forums at crystalhall.org and can respond to PMs.

Wishes Not Granted, Chapter 5

Chapter 18: Sarah

A knock on my door woke me up, and I felt horrible, I was still in the kitchen were I was when Dave left. I looked blurrily over at the clock and whomever it was knocked again. I yelled, "Go away."

The door opened anyway. I thought for a moment, "Judy is that you?"

"Yes, and I brought a friend."

I walked over and saw Judy and Dave. Dave leaped at me and I caught him up in a hug. He was crying and babbling, and so was I. We hugged and cried together for a few minutes. When we finally let go, I looked to thank Judy and she was gone.

Part II: TODDLER

Chapter 14: Dave

I was working one afternoon, when there was a knock on my door. I got up to see whom it was, and was surprised to see Judy and Ashley there. "Hi, what's up?"

Judy, looking a little harried, answered "There was a big crash on the Interstate. They need me at work right away. Can you watch Ashley 'til Joe gets home? He should be home in a couple of hours."

"Ummm, sure. But doesn't Sarah usually do that?"

3000 years into the future, Humanity is once again fighting for it's very survival. There of course are those heroes who make sacrifices for the sake of others. Some have to sacrifice more than most people will ever know. Thanks to the Praetorians, our lives can continue...

Chapter 40 Question answered

What could I say?

‘Sally please you don’t expect me to answer that really do you?’ ‘Of course I hardly know James and maybe it is just intrigue or just that I feel flattered or even that I am having feelings that I can’t control.’

‘With you it’s different. I never expected this situation and I have really become very attached to you and I like to be with you. It feels like I’ve known you for years not days or weeks.’

Chapter 11: Sarah

Dave called me from the hospital asking me to pick him up, I told him be there right away. At the hospital, I expected Dave to be waiting for me. I checked at the desk and was told that he hadn’t come down yet. So I went to find him.

Getting off the elevator, I was stopped by a nurse, “Can I help you? Visiting hours aren’t until 10 AM.”

“I’m here to pick up my neighbor, Dave Wilson. He’s supposed to be discharged today. I expected to find him downstairs, but he wasn’t there. So I came looking for him.”

Chapter 39 Visitor surprise

I asked Sally who it was and she said it was a surprise and not to worry. She wouldn’t tell me anymore.

When I arrived home I didn’t recognize the car and in fact it was a Hertz hire car when I looked at it more closely. When I took off my shoes and went into the lounge in my nyloned feet I looked to see who was waiting. it was James.

‘What are you doing here?’ I mumbled.

‘I thought that you’d be pleased to see me.’
