Who knew that dressing up in a costume and walking around would be so much fun?
And no, the irony of that statement is not lost on me.
Beth was just driving down the road when I was landing. I got to the ground, quickly put my clothes on, and ran to meet her. There was no one else around, so all she did was slow down, while I opened the door and jumped in. That way, we didn’t get covered in dust drifting forward from a full stop.
“I’m glad you’re home in time. Toby’s really excited about going trick or treating with his new big brother or Dad, he’s not sure which. We’ve got the neighborhood we’ll go to mapped out so we can be done within two hours. With it getting dark so early now, we want to be finished and home by then. You probably didn’t even notice, but we changed the clocks for daylight savings time during the weekend.”
“You’re right, I didn’t. Um, why?”
“It’s called Daylight Savings Time. Spring forward, fall back. It goes back to when the US was really rural, and the clocks were adjusted so that farmers getting up in the fall would still be closer to regular sunlight hours. Doesn’t make a lot of sense anymore, since even in rural areas like this, we have electricity. It’s especially stupid with school kids, because in the winter time, if there’s snow on the ground and the buses are delayed at all, they’re getting dropped off basically at dark. Like a lot of government things, it made sense when they did it originally; now, not so much. So, how’d your day go?”
“Oh, not too bad. Met with Reagan and Bush, then destroyed the CIA. Only had to kill a few people for being stupid. How’d you know to pick me up, if you weren’t watching the news?”
She tapped the side of her head. “Linked even stronger now. I’m sure we’ll see it on the news tonight. Now, let’s get in so you can change and become Khan.”
A nice thing about being me was that I didn’t have to wear a coat or jacket, because the chill didn’t affect me. When we got to the first house, and Toby yelled, “KHAN! Trick or treat!” the family inside ran to get their camera. Eve and Jennifer were wearing nude colored body stockings under their diaphanous gowns. In a last second change, they were wearing flashing things on their neck with numbers on them, as Mudd’s women. Marcia was dressed like a Vulcan priestess. Dora became a Klingon warrior, with Margie and Beth as two of Khan’s women. Having three red-shirt security officers made it perfect.
That’s pretty much how the next hour went. We’d walk to a house, Toby would make his saying, and the family would get their camera. The newspaper had a photographer out and about taking pictures. We ended up posing for some pictures for him. Chuck ended up carrying the second sack of candy for Toby. Courtesy of us, people gave him huge amounts. When we got back to the house, Elroy and SJ were waiting with a camcorder to record us. They also had glasses with amber colored liquid in them.
“We got into the airport an hour ago. Our new jet will be delivered as soon as they prep it properly for us. Those are some incredibly realistic looking costumes and make-up,” SJ said.
“Thank you,” Marcia said. “I didn’t think they’d be this popular. Everyone was taking our pictures in town.”
“Are you kidding? Cal has the chest to make Khan even more imposing than he was in the movies. They look so authentic, too.”
“They’d better. They are authentic. That’s the outfit Ricardo Montalbán wore.”
Elroy nodded. “That makes sense, with your Hollywood connections. Either way, live long and prosper.” He held his hand up with the fingers in the correct Vulcan formation.
“Live long and prosper, Elroy,” Marcia said, doing it back to him.
Chuck looked at her. “You’re telling me these are really from the show?”
“Yeah. You saw the stuff I had on the main floor. You didn’t see my bedroom.” That got the others laughing. The three security guards took their shirts off, then left.
“I got all this? Wow, this is so much more than any other time I’ve been out,” Toby said.
“No ruining your appetite, though, young man. You need to eat dinner, before you have too much candy,” Jennifer said, a smile on her face.
“Okay, Mom. Let me go get changed.” Toby ran into his room.
Elroy said, “I don’t suppose there’s anything you need to tell us, since we were only gone overnight, before we talk about what Boeing did.”
I looked sheepish. “Um ... is it time for the nightly news?”
“Do I want to know what you did?”
“Um ... let’s watch the news. Try not to throw too many things my way.”
Toby came out of his room, ready for dinner. Beth looked at Eve and Dora. The three of them went into the kitchen, to fix dinner for all of us, and to keep Toby entertained and away from the television. I sat down on the couch, Marcia on my lap, Jennifer and Margie on either side of me. Elroy and SJ took their drinks and moved to the other part of the couch.
“Good evening, America, I’m Tom Brokaw. This is a special broadcast of the NBC Nightly News. Due to the sheer volume of events around the world, we purposely did not report on them earlier. In addition, at 6:50, President Reagan will be speaking to America on all networks at the same time about these events.”
“Now, here is the timeline of what happened around the world within the last 24 hours. Keep in mind that due to time zones, all events will be reported in their local times. These are from different networks, not just NBC. From New Delhi, India, here is Narsimha Rao.”
“It is the middle of the night here in New Delhi. Earlier today, in response to the attack upon a Punjab temple in June, two members of Prime Minister Gandhi’s bodyguards attempted to assassinate her. They were unsuccessful due to the actions of the Messenger from Above. According to her personal secretary, he had shown up to discuss troop movements that were in violation of his edicts regarding ending fighting. After his discussion, but before the assassination attempt, the Prime Minister, Missus Gandhi had agreed that she would work with Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto from Pakistan, to reduce tensions between our countries.”
“After the attempt ... and the burning of these phrases into the concrete outside her residence ... she has contacted Miss Bhutto and is working to set free the disputed area between our nations. As you can see, this area has now become a shrine to peace. I spoke with Prime Minister Gandhi earlier this evening. She told me that while the Messenger has claimed otherwise, to her and the people of India, he is and always will be a Deva. From New Delhi, I am Narsimha Rao.”
“I’m Christiane Amanpour, here in Berlin. The party atmosphere behind me has been going on since early this morning. Members of the East German Army are working with both Soviet and NATO soldiers to remove the Berlin Wall. This scene is being repeated all over the country, as the Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union have disappeared overnight. This morning, the Messenger from Above arrived in Moscow. He met publicly with Foreign Minister Gromyko, newly elected Prime Minister Mikhail Gorbachev, and Hieromonk Gleb Yakunin, of the Russian Orthodox Church. The meeting was recorded by Moscow TV and broadcast immediately around the country without any censorship whatsoever.”
The screen showed me talking to the Soviet leaders, my arms animated. “In what was something suspected, the Messenger confirmed that he is from another planetary system. He also told the people that when someone evil like Hitler, Mao, or Stalin comes along, to take responsibility. He told Mister Gorbachev to tear down the wall. The entire planet depends upon us growing up.” It then showed the three men hugging me. “The three men pledged themselves, and their lives, to following the teachings of the Messenger.” The camera showed me slowly rising into the air, the crowd cheering me.
The screen cut back to Tom Brokaw. “Ladies and gentlemen, what we are going to show you has not been edited for content, only for length. The images that you are about to see violate all FCC regulations for broadcast television. We suggest that if there are any young children in the room, they leave immediately. President Reagan ordered ... not asked, but ordered ... the FCC to allow us, and all networks to show these recordings. I’m going to wait one minute, while any children, or people who may be disturbed by scenes that are graphic, leave the room.”
A large clock appeared on the screen, counting down. Everyone in the living room looked at me, then back at the screen. The clock reached zero.
“This morning, the Messenger from Above arrived at the White House. He met with President Reagan, Vice-President Bush, and the new Secretary of State, George Schultz. One of the things from that meeting is that he said someone was going to have to break the news to Congress. President Reagan had ordered all members of the CIA home, under his authority as Commander in Chief. He had to ask Congress to repeal part of the National Security Act of 1947. These are his words, from a tape in the office.”
It cut to a camera shot of the CIA building from a helicopter. “I even heard a few members of Congress say that they didn’t believe in any of this trickery, and that they would be damned if they’d dissolve the CIA. That’s fine. Free will, after all. If they won’t dissolve the CIA, I will. Literally.”
The camera zoomed in, to show dozens of naked men and women running from the building. “The Messenger brought the Presidential limousine with the three men and two Secret Service agents to CIA headquarters. He ordered all doors sealed, and all people inside to leave everything inside except their identification, their wallets, their keys, and their wedding rings. He also meant their clothes, as well.”
The camera got closer. “At this point, you can see the Messenger inside, sorting people. President Reagan allowed the camera helicopters to come closer than we’ve ever been allowed, so this could be recorded. You can see there are two people off to one side, sitting on the floor.” The line of naked people continued, with a couple of people in wheelchairs being carried out to cars by security guards. “No one was allowed anything else, other than these items. After 40 minutes, the number of people inside were down to only a handful, including those 6 people you see off to the right.
The camera showed me walk up to and talk to one of the men. It then showed me killing him, then the next two men as well. You could see me talk to the remaining man and one of the women, taking their items and melting them. Brokaw said, “Interestingly enough, this woman was allowed to keep her necklace. When contacted, she said that the necklace had been a gift from her husband, who had been killed in Vietnam. She said the Messenger told her where her husband’s name was on the wall, and that he would not disrespect him. She was the only person allowed to bring anything extra out of the building. She also told us that the men that the Messenger killed were trying to smuggle films and other things out inside their bodies. That is why they were killed.”
It then showed the two Muslim women running out. You could see me doing something further inside, then meeting with Reagan again. Everyone hurried out, getting into the limousine and quickly driving a short distance away from the building. Nothing was visible from outside for almost a minute, then the building slowly began to collapse and burn, from the inside out. The helicopter began pulling back. “Our news helicopter had to retreat to a safe distance. The intensity of the heat could not be measured by any normal device. Based upon the actual melting of concrete and the literal pool of melted material that is all that remains of CIA headquarters, the temperature had to exceed seven thousand degrees Fahrenheit.”
“And now, ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.”
Ronald was actually still at CIA headquarters. The camera was showing him in the foreground, with the smoking hole in the ground in the background. Marcia murmured her approval of the staging.
“My fellow Americans, today ... we were given a lesson. The United States is one nation on this planet among many. We have been fortunate ... very fortunate ... to not receive a message such as China, Pakistan, Syria, Iran, or many others have received. Today, I was in the White House when Mister Gromyko and Mister Gorbachev called, asking for our help in reunifying Germany. I had never expected to hear those words spoken, or to have it very bluntly confirmed that we are no longer the enemies we have been since the end of World War II.”
“The Messenger told us valuable words today. We made it into space, then fell back. We are on the cusp of either moving on, becoming a member of a galactic community we knew nothing about until today, or destroying ourselves. He would not say specifically where his authority comes from; I don’t think he needs to. He did tell us that he will do what he can to prevent us from destroying ourselves.”
“When it was apparent that something was going to happen to the CIA building, this temporary command center was set up. I will not hide anything. You saw on TV that the Messenger killed nine members of the CIA. Those people tried to smuggle things out. He apologized to me, saying that some people just won’t listen. The Congress of the United States did not listen. Here is the recording we made.”
“I really hope that someone recorded all of that. I’d hate for that message to be lost to anyone. I fully realize that this nation is a representative republic. If the representatives are so stupid as to not recognize what’s right in front of their faces, then maybe some of them need to retire. Or be retired.”
“What ... what did you do?”
“He sent us a message. Live in peace; destroy the drugs; end the fighting. We’ve been ... very fortunate today. He didn’t have to empty the building before he did that. The only ones who lost their lives today were those that didn’t listen to his message.”
Reagan said, “For those of you who don’t know, the last two voices were former director of the CIA, William Casey, and Vice-President Bush. There were two more relevant recordings made, that I will play. Before I do, let me make it clear that, as this could be classified as political in nature and that our Presidential election is next week, I called former Vice-President Mondale and played it for him. Upon hearing it, and seeing what had happened today, he gave me his permission to play this last recording.”
“Yes. I see that we needed a bit of a kick in the pants, like you did elsewhere. I hope you never have to do anything more in this country.”
“Well, if you’re still in the White House at the end of January, and I see no reason why the people would vote for anyone else that might not be as reasonable as you ... I suspect we can have some more interesting discussions.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to be something that no politician ever is; I’m going to be blunt. Nine people lost their lives here today because they were too damned stupid to listen to the Messenger. Nine people lost their lives today because the Congress of the United States was too damned stupid to listen to the Messenger. Congress has not changed their restriction on marijuana. It’s a hell of a note when the leader of the Soviet Union is more reasonable than the United States Congress. Within the last week, Mikhail Gorbachev was made the new leader of the Soviet Union. When he called, asking for our help in Germany, and to live in peace with the United States, he said, ‘We have free will, as you said. The free will to be morons and stupid idiots. I choose the free will that will see my nation, my people, and then the whole planet, prosper.”
“North Korea has over a million people dead. Pakistan has several hundred. Syria has thousands. Iran and Iraq have thousands dead. Afghanistan has hundreds dead. China has more than ten million dead. The United States has lost nine. Not nine hundred, nine thousand, or nine million. Nine stupid morons.”
“This man, this Messenger from Above, has told us that he’s human, just like we are, only from a more advanced civilization. He regrets doing what he had to do. The alternative is to do nothing, and allow us to destroy ourselves. I find that I am saying something that, a few months ago, I would never have considered possible. I completely agree with Mister Gorbachev. I call upon the Congress of the United States ... act, and act now. Today is Wednesday, October 31st. Our national election is next Tuesday. Between now and next Monday, show to the American people that you are not stupid idiots or morons. To the American people, I say this. I choose the free will to see my nation, my people, and then the whole planet prosper. Next Tuesday, if Congress has not acted, please do not be stupid idiots and morons and put those same people back into office, no matter which party they are from. Our political parties no longer matter. Our nation, and our world, is what matters. Thank you, and good night.”
The camera cut back to Brokaw. He sat there blinking for a few seconds. “That was President Reagan. Just a second, please. I ... we have a camera right now, set up with former Vice-President Mondale. This is also live.”
“Ladies and Gentlemen. We have witnessed today the greatest threat our nation has ever faced. At the same time, we also have witnessed the greatest opportunity that our nation has had since 1776. I am going to do something now, on national television, that, to my knowledge, has never been done before. As President Reagan has said, our political parties no longer matter. Our nation, and our world, are what matters. I also choose the free will to see my nation, my people, and then the whole planet, prosper. To that end, I hereby volunteer my services to help President Reagan during his second term in office however I can, and I publicly state that I will vote for him next Tuesday.”
“Our political system is a crock of shit! Congress does what they can to secure pork for their own districts, and to hell with what’s good for everyone else. I know! I was a Senator and did exactly that, because that’s how the game was played. I’m being truthful, because I have no desire to see a swath of our country destroyed like what happened to China. The Chinese government LIED to its people, and more importantly, they lied to themselves. I call upon all Americans! Do NOT lie to yourselves! We have a peace, and a cooperation with the Soviet Union. Between us, and all of our allies, let us work together to ensure that no further demonstrations are necessary. End the fighting, destroy the drugs, and live in peace. Thank you, and good night.”
Tom Brokaw sat back in his chair. “That was ... Walter Mondale, Democratic Party nominee ... stating that he will help President Reagan and he will vote for him. I ... he was right, that’s something never been seen before on television, or anywhere else that I’ve ever heard of.” He looked confused at that point, so Margie used the remote and turned the television off.
“So, you don’t like our bodies, you had to look at a couple of thousand naked women?”
“It’d be nice to say that I got to enjoy it. But I was using my vision the whole time, looking inside of everyone and their wallets. That’s how I found those men with the film and other stuff shoved up their butts and the two that had swallowed them. I could also tell that the man and woman trying to get jewelry out ... that stuff I melted ... were lying to me about the origins of the jewelry, too.”
“Cal...”
“Yes, SJ?”
“Remind me to never piss you off.”
“Oh, don’t worry about that. You’re family. You know, if we can manage to ever get the laws changed, you’ll actually be my step-son. Just like Margie is Beth’s step-aunt. And besides, I wasn’t angry.”
“You weren’t? It sure looked like you were angry.”
“Nope. Angry wouldn’t have emptied the building first. Angry is what happened to China. The rest of it ... SJ, I could, quite literally, take and survive without any damage to myself, a direct hit from a 10 megaton nuke. You can’t. Neither could anyone else.”
“This is my home, these are my wives in all but name. Two of these women are carrying my children, and the third will probably be pregnant as soon as her body flushes out the birth control hormones. The other three plan to be pregnant when they’re walking across the stage at Stanford, getting their degrees. I will do anything and everything in my power to make sure they’re safe, and that my family is safe. And I have a lot of power.”
“Cal, don’t take this the wrong way, but I think I’m actually a little scared of you.”
Elroy laughed. “You’d be a damned fool if you weren’t. And what I saw in California is that you’re not a damned fool. You’re a fine addition to the team, Son.”
“I’ll say this, Cal. You stood differently,” SJ said.
The phone rang. Dora answered it. “Hello? Hola, mi Madre. Si. Si, but that is not a thing to talk about on the telephone. I suggest waiting for mi Abuela, tomorrow, and we can talk things over with her then. Si. Good night, then.”
“Darned straight you don’t want to mention anything over the phone. Just because Earl hasn’t seen anything about phone taps, I wouldn’t put it past someone to be checking things out around here, due to the local changes,” Elroy said.
“Well, you two now know what I ended up doing last night and today. What did Boeing have to say?”
SJ looked at me like I was being funny, then realized I was serious. “Gotcha, Cal. Okay, um, yeah ... maybe I shouldn’t have had that second glass. Sorry. Yeah. They want a lot. All we can give them. We did the wind tunnel test. First, they put a model into the wind tunnel, about five feet wide, just to make sure the temperature mix was right. They cranked it down to 10 degrees inside, then started blowing moist air by the model. Didn’t take it long at all to ice up, on the nose, then on the leading edge.”
“They turned on the edge deicers that the model was equipped with, which took some of the ice off, just so we could see how those worked. Once they were done with that, I put a thin coat of anti-ice on the model. It took an hour to dry, while we were eating lunch. Once it was dry, they turned the wind tunnel back on again, with the moist air. It was amusing, watching their engineers checking things. They didn’t believe their own instruments.”
Elroy was leaned back on the couch. He started chuckling. “Sorry, Son, I was just remembering the expression on that one engineer’s face when he realized that the air temperature in the wind tunnel was negative thirty, the outside temperature of the model itself was negative thirty, and not a damn bit of spray was sticking to the model and freezing. His mouth was gaping and closing like a fish out of water.”
“That was funny, Elroy, you’re right. They had us move to the big tunnel, with the big models. There were two of them in this chamber. What they had me do was paint one wing on each model, and half the nose, fuselage, and tail rudder. We waited the hour for the coating to dry. During this time we went out and checked out the 737-200 that we’d flown out there to look at. Very nice plane. Like I said before, they’ll deliver it here hopefully later this week. Anyway, we got back inside, and they fired up the wind tunnel. They started putting moist air in and cranking the temperature down. Heh!”
He was quiet for several seconds, a huge grin on his face. “It was hilarious, watching them taking pictures, checking all their instruments, and mostly shaking their heads. Two hours, and when they turned things off, the half of the plane models with nothing on them were giant ice cubes. You know how slush forms, then freezes, getting thicker and thicker? They pushed it so hard, the weight of ice on one of the models broke the wing in half. What’d they expect? They’d dropped the temperature to minus sixty, put the wind speed up to five hundred miles an hour, and subjected both models to conditions no plane could survive, massive mists of water shooting out and freezing instantly on any surface it touched ... except the sides of the models coated with anti-ice.”
“I take it that they were somewhat astonished by that, then,” I said.
“They were fucking freaked out! At that point, they were ready to sign up. Then they realized one other minor detail, from looking at the sensors in the wings of the models. The first one was just a regular carved model. The second ones, the big ones, had temperature and stress sensors built into them. The right wing, which was coated with ice, in the actual air temperature of minus sixty, was actually frozen down to minus forty inside the core of the wing. Left wing, with the anti-ice coating, actual air temperature of minus sixty, was forty degrees inside the wing. Not negative forty, positive forty, above freezing. They thought the sensor was broken, but it read the same from BOTH of their models.”
“So, being the good little engineers they were, and because Elroy and I didn’t know any better, thought it was fine for them to do a couple more experiments. They went out and got half a dozen bananas. They stuck temperature probes inside them, to make sure they were okay. Then they had me paint three of the bananas, and we let the paint dry. That gave us some more time to check out the jet, and eat dinner. Everyone here knows what liquid nitrogen is, right?” He waited for a second.
“Okay. We came back. They brought out some liquid nitrogen. The probes showed the inside of the bananas were about sixty degrees, a little below the room temperature. One of the engineers took tongs that he was holding with special gloves, and dipped a banana into the liquid nitrogen. It took it just under a minute, and it was frozen solid, to the middle, with the probe showing the thing was lower than negative three hundred degrees. Then they dipped one of the bananas with paint on it. It took ten minutes for the temperature inside the banana to drop from sixty degrees to zero. They left that banana in there, dropped another one into the pail, and it froze to negative three hundred within a minute. Pulled that one out, turned the other banana around, moved it. The coldest it ever got was negative thirty, after half an hour completely submerged in liquid nitrogen.”
I was baffled. “I don’t understand. That’s not how it’s supposed to work.”
“They pulled that one out, then took one of the painted bananas and cut it in half, so that a bit of the temperature probe was visible, and liquid nitrogen could get to the interior. Basically compromised the outside. The thing still easily cut with a knife. They dipped it in, the temperature probe showed the middle of the banana was frozen within a minute, down to negative three hundred, pulled it out. The outside of the banana wasn’t frozen all the way down to the level that the anti-ice had soaked into the peel, so it froze from the inside out.”
“Mike, you’re aware of the chemical formula I used to create the anti-ice paint, correct?”
The computer said, “Yes, Cal, I am. Based upon these descriptions, it is functioning like it should. It will prevent water and ice accumulation down to negative four hundred forty degrees Fahrenheit, and act as an anti-freezing agent to that temperature as well.”
“Hang on.” My face showed a lot of confusion at this point. “I simply took Dad’s formula that he’d created and copied it here. I remember him telling me that it was good down ... to ... damn. I fucked up.”
Beth said, “Let me guess. Conversion tables. Just like you forgot about the difference in planetary rotations, when you told us you were 14, and you’re actually 17 if you’d been born on Earth, you forgot to convert from whatever temperature scale your Dad used.”
I put my head in my hands. “That may have been a mistake, letting them play with it. I’m not blaming you for that, SJ. I really fucked up with this one.”
“Are you kidding? I told them it was patented, and we were getting our chemical plant up and running. Once it was going, they could have it for two hundred bucks per gallon. They want enough to paint every single plane they make, and to re-paint every plane they ever get in for servicing, at that price. No questions asked.”
“You ... did tell them that it’ll take just over a hundred gallons to paint a 747, right?”
“I didn’t tell you the last thing. They stuck the last two bananas into their regular deep freeze. The one that gets down to negative one hundred, and keeps it that way overnight, that they test components in for failure. Both bananas were at sixty degrees when they went in. This morning, when we met with them, the regular banana was frozen solid, at negative one hundred. The other banana had been in the freezer for eight hours, at negative one hundred degrees. Guess what the core temperature of that one was?”
“Negative ten?”
“Twenty degrees Fahrenheit. The record low at the South Pole is -117. They know that, because they’ve studied things down there. It’s so cold down there that if someone gets sick, they may be stuck there for months because a plane can’t fly in there. Now, a simple coat of paint on the plane, and on the exposed parts, and no freezing. If it lasts the five years you mentioned ... what’s wrong?”
I made it into our house before I removed my outfit, then ran through the house, into our bedroom, and just fell face first onto the bed. I felt it move with four girls getting onto it, around me. We did have tissues in there, which one of the others handed to Margie, so she had several in hand when I finally raised my head up. She and Beth were both stroking my hair, Dora and Eve were rubbing my back. “You must think me incredibly childish about now,” I said. Margie and Beth both leaned...
The ride wasn’t that difficult for me, since I could ignore any of the physical difficulties. Jennifer and Hannah sat next to each other and tapped Morse code back and forth for most of the way, since it was too loud to talk without shouting. Elroy showed this wasn’t his first time in an airplane’s cargo bay by promptly falling asleep. While there was a temperature difference when we landed, the four of us weren’t allowed much time to get adjusted before being hustled into one of our small...
I wasn’t bored during the ride. I also learned our transportation was called a pick-up truck. Betty and Harry told me more about the political and economic makeup of the United States. I realized that I’d have to know quite a bit if I was to pass myself off as a child entering the school system. We pulled up in front of a building with a sign outside reading, Burnell Fine Jewelry. “Cal, better let me carry the box. It won’t quite look right for a...” There was a young woman walking out the...
After we handed out just over 6,000 of the coins, I got back with everyone to see what else, if anything, we needed to do. It turned out that the members of the media were doing some in depth interviews with the people from Siemens, Microsoft, Cisco, and learning about Ice-X, while we were handing coins out. Before I got roped into any of them, SJ found me. Gunny Patterson and Ramona were both with him. “Hey, Cal. Unfortunately, all good things have to come to an end. The Gunny is going to...
Once she pulled back because she couldn’t breathe, Dora took her place to do the same thing. When she stepped back, I just shook my head. “I’m guessing that Beth wasn’t the only witness to what I saw, then?” “It was ... fuzzy ... at times. I could tell you were saying something, but I couldn’t hear what you said, or what that man said back to you. When they shot you in the chest with that grenade, and it did nothing, I felt so relieved,” Eve said. “Si. I completely lost you when you drilled...
Betty felt much better the next morning. She was just exhausted from too much sex the night before. We had a quick breakfast of eggs, sausage, and toast. Harry called his boss and told him he had a major family emergency come up, and he’d need some time off. Not surprisingly, his boss told him to take all the time he needed, because he was fired. I expected Betty to be more upset about that news than she was. Instead, she just looked at me and said, “That’ll free Dad up to help you with...
At breakfast the next morning, there was a discussion I’d hoped to avoid. “Cal, I have a question for you, regarding something you said Sunday.” “Sure, Beth, what is it?” She frowned. “You told Sophia that having the stones inside lead would be fine for the next couple of years. Somehow, I got the feeling that you weren’t talking about the time that we’re going to be in California when you were referencing that frame. Why?” “Because I wasn’t. I didn’t particularly want to worry the rest...
“Sure. You want some lunch, or something to drink? I can stop at Sonic.” His face was grim. “Thank you, but no.” “Okay. That’s sufficiently mysterious for me,” I said, with a little grin. I drove south of town, but instead of turning to go home, kept going south on Lorraine, to the curve. Then I went off the road, back in towards the river, where some people dumped trash at times. I rolled my window down, he did the same. “Is this private enough for you?” “Yeah, thanks.” He sighed. “Damn....
When I walked into the entryway, I realized that things were not exactly what I had expected to find when I got home. Someone had been busy. None of our furniture was in the room, and while the TV was still in the corner, there were large posters of a tree in front of it. The girls were all wearing white cheerleader outfits with the Stanford ‘S’ in the middle. They each had a set of red and white pom-poms. A record was playing in the background, ‘It’s all right now.’ Shaking their pom-poms,...
When I returned to the office, the two men were waiting for me. “Cal ... is Harry your legal guardian?” “I understand that’s how the Judge set things up, yes. Is there a problem, sir?” Anderson shook his head. “The law says you have to attend school for fifteen hours per week as the minimum. I’m really not sure what we actually CAN teach you, though. Not considering you just tested out of more than half of the college requirements for an associate degree, maybe even a bachelor’s.” “In...
I found out how much bigger, when I went into the locker room. There were two men I didn’t recognize, talking to Coach Thompson. He waved me over to them. “Cal, these men are from the Kansas High School Athletic Association. Seems that we’re being accused of cheating, and they want to talk to you about that.” “Um, depending upon the scope of the questions, I reserve the right to have my legal guardian present. Otherwise, I have no objections at this time.” One of the men looked relieved at...
The events in Pakistan had taken almost six hours, so I got at least a couple hours of sleep with my girls before getting up for school on Wednesday. Breakfast was quite normal, which almost surprised me. Margie did tell me that she thought I needed to stay home that night and mentally rest, even if I wasn’t physically tired. The suspense of wondering where I’d show up next would play with the minds of all the countries I’d mentioned. High School classes went fine, with everyone at lunch...
Thursday morning, I decided to go to Wichita. I got in my truck and headed there on my own. I had a destination in mind; Wichita State University. It took me just over an hour to get there. Once there, I noticed something I hadn’t taken into consideration; parking permits on this campus. I went to the Campus Police Department, to see where I could park. I walked in the door. There was an officer sitting behind a desk. “Help you?” “I hope so. I’m enrolled up at HCC, but I wanted to do some...
It only took us a few moments to get ready for bed, as all we did was take our clothes off and slip under the covers once in my room. Beth had been on a slow boil for most of the afternoon, her pussy literally dripping with desire. She grabbed my cock, started sucking on it so I was hard, then fell backwards, her legs open wide. “Fuck me, fuck me good, my lover!” I had no trouble at all sliding into her, she was so wet. It literally only took her a few seconds to have her first orgasm. I...
“You’ll have to get this through the school board, you know,” Terry said about fifteen minutes later. “I think they’re all still inside. Jerry, would you ... oh. Never mind. I didn’t realize that we’d have an audience.” When they realized we’d stopped messing around, two men and a woman walked over to us. “Other than simply saying hello inside, since we all came together, I don’t think we introduced ourselves to you, Mister Lewis. I’m Denny Fisher, President of the School Board. This is...
While I had no idea what Judge Bannister was talking about, apparently everyone else did. So, I followed them. We ended up at a restaurant not that far from the school. I could smell that they were cooking steaks even while still outside. The lot was relatively full at this time, but we all found places to park. I hurried to the door, so I could hold it for everyone, but Harry beat me to it. There was a line of people to the right, apparently to get their food. The Judge turned to the left....
Wednesday was pretty much a repeat of Monday for me, complete with Margie waiting by my truck after lunch. “I need you to skip school a couple of days next week. Is that going to be a problem?” “As long as it’s not Friday, because I can’t play if I miss school that day, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. What’s going on?” “I’ll set it for Tuesday and Wednesday, then. You and I will go to San Francisco first. After that, we’ll be going to Redmond, Washington. We need to get you fitted...
After Wendy’s exit, no one made any further reference to the family. Those members who’d been at the short departure meet with Wendy briefly mentioned the family safety to each other and that was the end of the discussion. Everyone in the Circle and that knew the Connors were warned to never mention their name again and ‘reminded’ that they’d never known anybody by that name. The Circle Board made a decision to hold the house in the Board’s name, a point already executed in ‘official’...
It was still easy to take off from home without being seen by the guards or the cameras. I wondered what I’d have to do when we were in California. Maybe dig a tunnel out somewhere. It’s not like they didn’t have earthquakes all the time, so my drilling wouldn’t be out of place. I was visualizing the map in my mind, since I hadn’t actually flown over the area and how long the tunnel would have to be when I realized I was almost to Italy. Time flies when you’re distracted. I’d have to watch...
Earl and I spent the rest of the round discussing a few things, with a promise to discuss things in full later tonight, in our room, with someone watching Toby. Jennifer showed that youth AND experience make a huge difference. Apparently the first 18 holes, she’d just been getting used to something she already knew how to do, which was play golf. She really cut loose on this one, putting out drives that matched mine in length. The minor detail that she was playing from the women’s tees meant...
We watched the first film about the formation of fossil fuels, then the seating area split into separate carts that took us on a ride through the building to see different exhibits, showing us animatronic dinosaurs up close and personal. After a few minutes, the carts came back together, showing us a second film about energy resources around the world. I snorted a couple of times at the misinformation that was in the film. So did the young lady in the other group. Then the whole seating area...
I could tell that the investigator from the FBI desperately wanted to be anywhere other than where he was, after he found out what he’d run into. Members of the Ku Klux Klan trying to kill native Australians had the potential to be very detrimental to his career. Having the Klansmen killed by three teenage girls on vacation didn’t help anything. Throw in a Federal Judge and Wackenhut Federal Protective Services, and he was really feeling some stress. By this time, we had drinks, were making...
I didn’t particularly enjoy throwing up into a trash can, which I was able to do after only drinking enough of the syrup of ipecac to make it look plausible, due to my control. The charcoal, followed by the trip to the hospital emergency room for the stomach pump, wasn’t pleasant, either. I didn’t think I actually needed any of them, but given the circumstances, I couldn’t refuse. The minor detail that Mendoza provided the antidote to us didn’t hurt. I wish I could have been there, when six...
The girls had been getting food ready while I was showing off. They called for a break, so we could eat while it was hot. The patent attorney showed up then, so we got him a plate as well. We moved the table around and got out the extra chairs, so we could all sit at the table and eat. “In case Elroy didn’t say who I am, which he has a tendency not to do, mostly because I’ve defended some cases in his court, I’m Frank Stilton. For some reason, he thinks I’m a pretty decent patent attorney. I...
Author's Forward: This one is a lot lighter on TG than I had originally planned, but it kicks in right at the end of chapter three. If TG not being the main focus is a dealbreaker, you may want to wait for the public release of the second half. I'll make it up in the next story, I promise.

We had breakfast the next morning, then we all got into the van. We drove down Palm Drive, then had to turn onto Campus Drive, to Galvez Street, to work our way over to Jane Stanford Way, before turning onto Lasuen Mall, and pulling up outside Wallenberg Hall, on the east side. It didn’t look like we were supposed to park there, but we did, anyway. One of our guards stayed with the van, while the other two accompanied us. A flight of stairs led up into a Spanish style building, then into a...
He still thought the same thing, two hours later. “This is just bloody amazing! I can’t believe you’ve managed to accomplish this much in so little time.” “Thank you, Jeffrey. I appreciate that. Funny thing is, things are just getting started for Kansas. We’ll be doing the same thing up near Manhattan, on Fort Riley, building two more turbine plants and a larger chemical plant for the Ice-X.” I saw Chuck glance at his watch. “Time to get Helen home, so she can go study?” He nodded, and I...
Warning: This is a long story with a slow build-up.1980 was a long time ago. A lot of history has happened since then, but there are parts of that year I remember like it was yesterday. I remember being a shy, seventeen-year-old kid, in my second-last year of high school, and I remember that I was not exactly Mister Popularity, either. I remember that feeling of not always fitting in, although I still had a few friends of my own, and I wasn’t a total misfit, and I remember being a virgin, even...
First TimeJames sat upright on his bed, with his legs crossed and hishands holding his head up. He just stared at the small, red notebook that lay in front of him, this mysterious gift that was granted to him. His own name was engraved on the front. It was almost like it was glowing, beckoning him to open it, to control reality even more. His mind was racing, full of thoughts of Amy, Kirsty and the words written inside the book: ‘Kirsty is going to change her mind and ask me to come over to work on the...
SupernaturalThe four of us went into the Clinic. Jennifer went up to the desk to check in, with me behind her, while Chuck took Toby over to some chairs, to wait. The receptionist looked up at us. “Can I help you?” “Yes. Jennifer Patrick, I have an appointment today with Doctor Beeson.” “Okay, is your information still the same from your last visit?” “Uh, no. Home address is now 6105 East Illinois Avenue, still Hutchinson, 67501.” She gave her our basic home phone number, not the unlisted one. “I’m...
Elroy shook his head. “I’m not going to give you advice one way or the other. You already figured out that Washington is a swamp. Anything I would say to you would be tarnished by my own, personal views.” “I appreciate that, Elroy. I think all three of the girls will take Wednesday off from school, as will I, so there’s nothing for anyone to note when the Messenger and his apprentice show up in Washington during the day. Beth has enough power that she can fly at night like I can.” From the...
Football practice was different from yesterday. We only spent fifteen minutes doing some stretches. The rest of the time was spent doing play drills, making sure that the team knew what my abilities were, as well as me making sure I knew what they could do. There was a little bit of messing around, but not much. I didn’t know why until Coach Thompson blew the whistle and had us gather around. “All right, ladies. That was ... okay, pretty darned good. Mister Davis, do you think that you could...
On shaky feet, Margie stood up and let me help her to the edge. Elroy was standing at the door, looking into the barn, to see if we were in one of the empty horse stalls. Margie quickly ran her fingers through her hair, picked up a little bit of loose straw and threw it into the air, so it would stick to her hair, then straightened and walked to the edge of the hayloft. “Hey, Uncle Elroy. Sorry, we’re up here. You know, I grew up here in town, but this is the first time I’ve ever been in a...
Author's Foreword: This one is a lot lighter on TG than I had originally planned but what it has kicks off right here at the start of chapter 3.

In fact, the first section of Other Duties is already available at patreon.com/razmagurk , for all those people who don't want to wait 6-8 weeks for it to come out here. If you want to...

Leaving the meeting with Mr. Reed, Beverly was mortified. First was the way she had acted: she had talked to James like she was some kind of slut. Reflecting on what she had said, she blushed furiously. Then when he abruptly stopped the discussion at the end and sent her off to do the research, Beverly felt rejected, that she wasn't appealing to James. This hurt her vanity even though she knew she was being foolish. She had become more attracted to him, really a schoolgirl crush, with each...
Jenkins looked at Toby, puzzled. “Son, you don’t have any trouble telling the difference between your sister and your mother?” He looked confused. “No. Why should I? I think Mom’s done a little something with her hair. It looks good, but she’s still Mom.” He walked over to her. “Am I in trouble for something? Is that why you didn’t come home last night, after SJ picked me up from playing with Bea and Patty?” Jennifer smiled through her tears. “No, Toby, you’re not in trouble. I was sick....
I bent down, picking it up by the cloth, to avoid the stones. Then I turned, and walked back over to our seats. Chuck and Mike were both up now, with my robe and some first aid supplies. “This isn’t my blood, it’s his.” “Then what’s that coming out of your ear, and dripping out of your mouth?” “Bit my tongue. Not much to do with that. Just rinse the ear and put a bandage on it.” “No, Sir. You’re going to the hospital, for x-rays. You may have cracked ribs and a possible punctured lung....
Sandy looked across the table at us. “Um, I suppose we ought to go out with you and have a celebration of some kind.” “We could do some kind of lunch, if you know some place, and don’t mind driving. We took a taxi from the airport to here, and we’ve an early flight in the morning out, so we’ll want to be back at our hotel fairly early.” Len looked at Sandy. “I think we can do that. Let me go bring our car around.” She nodded, and he headed out. Sandy stood up and erased the white board,...
“Sorry about that, I thought I heard you say something about trying to buy four square MILES of land, for less than a million dollars,” Adrienne said after she’d picked the phone up. “I did. Here’s something else that you can pass on to Bill. If he wants to put a value on the price of the program I gave him, tell him to consider it worth fifteen million. I had put into my budget forty million to spend to buy into Microsoft. That means I quite literally have fifteen million sitting around,...
by aliveinpr My stories do not necessarily reflect my personal proclivities, desires, wants or fantasies. Please read and enjoy this fictional writing. George and I have been married for 15 years. George has a well paying job making me a lonely housewife. Week after week, I wash, clean, cook and allow him to fuck me when HE feels the need. I learned a long time ago that my sexual needs had to stay on the back burner until George felt the need for sex. Sexually I was frustrated and even...
A Story in the Winds of Change Universe The tall, lanky man looked in disbelief at the King. “Sire, I’m simply a backwoods lawyer, and a new one at that. I’ve barely been more than a store owner and a local politician. I don’t understand why you’ve taken the railroad halfway across our country to come here and talk to me.” The King of America, Grant Maxwell, sat forward in his chair. “Call me Grant. You may be primarily self-educated, but you are not uneducated. You know the history of our...

I’d like to thank Daniellekitten for being my sounding board on this story. I never would have gotten it off the ground without her! ********************** I heard someone come in the room, but it didn’t register in my brain until she spoke. ‘Excuse me, Mr. Thompson?’ she said. Looking up from my desk, I saw the biggest, most beautiful pair of brown eyes in the world. It took me a second to recognise the face. ‘Angelina Benardo!’ I made sure to pronounce the g as an h in her first name....
I am 18 years old and now i’ am in school giving my 12th exam. In school, i was always fascinated by my history teacher. She was just wonderful, 28 years old and having the perfect figure of a teenage. Let me introduce myself. My name is craig and my history teacher’s name is vineeta ekka. She was teaching us history since std:8 and was very cooperative. Always cool-minded, never trying to scold us. She would always enter the class with a smile on her face. As i had taken up arts in 11 she was...
Olga’s note: Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight novels, wrote a short story retold from the viewpoint of a minor character, someone who walks into the scene of one of her novels and is almost immediately killed. In my stories, at least the ones so far, the first-person viewpoints of characters in my Aghara-Penthay shave all been women on special missions, or women captured to order, which means they’ve been missing out on the experience of a more regular slave – someone unlucky caught...

Beth answered it. “Hello? Hi, Dad. No, we didn’t burn the house down last night. Yes, Dora and Eve are here. We’re going into town in a bit to pick up another mattress. No, I don’t think you really want to know, do you? Didn’t think so. Aren’t you up early? Oh, I don’t know about that, I’ve never been on a jet. No, we didn’t have any issues with picking up Dora or Eve. Jethro and Spanky are both fine. No, no police out to the house yet. Dad! Okay, that’s not that funny. Who knows, that’s not...
__________________________________ Rikki yawned yet again. Her new History teacher Mr Galveston was droning on again about the American Revolution. It was only the second week of her Senior year in High School, and Mr Galveston had given them two exams, and she had an essay due the next day. People had warned Rikki the previous year of how difficult his class was, and to avoid getting into it at all costs, but it was out of her control now. She was trying hard to get into Stanford next year...

Before Marianne could say anything else, Allen waved his hand. “He startled the living shit out of me, is what he did!” Several people, including both Dads, had come out when Marianne screamed. They saw Allen on the ground and came running over. I’d already given him a hand up before they got to us. Allen was laughing. “Damn, Cal, that’s one hell of a statement. Hey, I’m fine, everyone. I was having a man to man talk with Cal here, and, um, he told me some business news that startled me so...
Jethro simply looked up when the truck pulled in, then went back to sleep. Margie went on into the house while I got our bags. When I walked in, Beth was just walking out of the bedroom, her eyes still a bit sleepy. “That’s neat, you flying the truck home, but come on, sis, you’ve got to control yourself. You woke me up with almost a gusher myself, and I’m still on my period.” Margie stopped what she was doing, which was trying to get undressed. “You were asleep, so you saw Cal pick the...
I was definitely nervous. Butterflies were flying around my stomach and my leg couldn't keep still as I sit in my car in the alleyway of my History teachers' house. We had sex in her classroom before she offered to take me back to her house and fuck me...for a long, long time. To make me scream and cum for her over and over again. Then she fingered and sucked me off to an amazing orgasm. I shiver at the memory. I had no idea why I was so nervous, but I decide to take a leap of faith. I...
I am eighteen and a college freshman and finals are coming up. I am not doing well in my history class, and I am super stressed. I heard through a rumor mill, that the professor will up a grade of any girl who sits on the front row of class without any panties on. I always wear my panties, but when a friend suggested I give it a try, well . . .The thought of showing off my most personal part of my body horrified me, but with a grade point average and a scholarship on the line, I had to consider...
College SexI parked, and we sat, I in the driver's seat, Maggie in the passenger's, and we held hands, and we stared at the moon. I leaned over the wheel so all I saw was that pale white crescent. That's all I wanted to see. Somewhere up there, there were people. Even I didn't know how far away they were. 250,000 miles is too big a number to comprehend. The radio had switched over from the usual broadcast announcer to the live NASA feed. We were hearing mission control talk to the...
