Mr Sackman left the next day. He took the 'Star' newspaper with him to read about what happened in North Bay. He said, "With this I can make you even richer."
John went to work. Carm and I went with him and used his car. We toured Chinatown; and it was a lot smaller than what it would become in years to come. I bought oriental vegetables, rice, spices and a great many more articles including various kinds of tea.
When I found that Carm had not been paid yet I gave him some money as an advance. He purchased a silk robe for Jamie that I thought would look good on him. I purchased silk jackets, skirts and slippers for my ladies and Jamie even though I knew that they would outgrow them.
While looking at the people around me I remembered the series, 'Kung Fu' and thought it a good series to film in Toronto as the most modern segment had been. I had no idea who could take David Carradine's role.
We stayed long enough to eat an authentic Chinese meal. This one was large enough for Carm and he seemed to like it. The meal was not what the North American native ate, though but rather it was what the Chinese themselves ate. Carm was happy and content when we left.
We searched for a large and prosperous electronics store and I went in with Carm to find how cheap I could get six units. I spent most of my time haggling and it was in the forth store that I got my best deal. They would take all six units to the hospital and install them then repair the two dead units and return them all for a fixed price. I paid in cash from my wallet, that seemed to surprise the owner but then again I had Carm with me.
Carm did admonish me. "You shouldn't carry around that much cash. The store owner tells a friend and the friend tells a crook and you get robbed or robbed and hurt, if not killed."
"You are completely right but who in their right mind would go up against you?"
"There are some people not in their right mind and a gun held by a kid is bigger than me."
"You're right again. I'll wear a money belt and keep only a little cash in my wallet from now on."
We dropped our groceries off at the Holtzman house. I told Mrs MacIntee that her song was on the way and that I was cooking supper.
We dropped off the car where John worked and then took a taxi to the hospital. The hospital administrator was too busy to see us until I mentioned that I had a donation to make.
He welcomed us into his office and basically ignored me and fawned over Carm.
Carm put him straight. "Mr Congdon here is the one that is making the donation. I am just his bodyguard I guess."
"Bodyguard? Why does he need a bodyguard?"
"Look in the papers."
"Oh!"
He turned to me. "I am sorry Mr Congdon. I had no idea who you were."
"I am still a twelve-year-old kid to you but I am one that wants to help the hospital."
"You are mistaken. I read the article and it says you are destined for great things."
I put the receipt down and said, "These televisions will be delivered to the hospital tomorrow and the two defective units repaired and returned within a week. You must keep this receipt for warranty work and I must be issued a receipt from the hospital for income-tax purposes."
The man looked at the figure at the bottom and said, "Thank you very much. This is very generous of you. I have never heard of a man as young as you doing anything like this."
"Perhaps I can contribute more as my own fortunes improve."
"Again thank you Mr Congdon. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Mmmm there might be at that. I want to visit a new patient. He's the other boy mentioned in the newspaper. The hospital has a policy of keeping young visitors out. I do hope this does not apply to my good friend Carm or to me."
"Oh, no. I'll send official notification to the floor to make sure that the staff is made aware of your status."
Carm and I walked through the hospital. He said, "You handled that quite well. Do you get everybody to do what you want?"
"Carm, you are here for pay but I also think you are here because you really want to be. Am I behind you twisting your arm?"
"No, I guess not."
"I see good people and I see where they can fit in my large family. People that read the papers know that I am going someplace. They either take what I offer or they don't."
The head nurse was at her station and started in where she stopped yesterday. Carm put his elbow on the counter and his chin in his hand and stared at her. The woman just ran out of steam eventually until the phone rang. The nurse was called to the phone and she listened then her face fell. She came back and stood tall and said, "You may visit."
The first words out of my mouth was, "Thank you ma'am." Carm had said not one word to her before this.
Jamie ran to me and during the hug kissed my cheek then did the same to Carm. I could tell that Carm liked this. Carm handed him his package and Jamie eagerly opened it. When the black robe came out Jamie's eyes got very big. He put it on quickly and tried to find a place to look at himself. He came running back and gave Carm another hug and a kiss.
We got lots of questions and I gave Jamie a point-by-point listing of how to treat silk. From behind my back I handed a much smaller bundle and Jamie quickly found matching silk slippers. I didn't mind the payback at all either.
I said, "We got you some silk pajamas too but you may not want them."
"Why?"
In a low voice I said so only he and Carm could hear, "The slippery silk kinda rubs your dick and it gets hard. The next thing you know there is a big wet spot then later a big wet spot. Kinda messy if you have no place to wash up."
"Really, no joke?"
"No joke. And if you just wear them as you walk, it will give you an erection. That could knock someone's eye out if you are not lucky."
Carm tried to hide his smile but I think Jamie was well warned.
Jamie told us about his tests but was not that sure about what exactly was happening. The two doctors were going to phone the house every night and give us a verbal update.
A lot of children drifted closer because we were the only visitors and they wanted some company. I said to all of the group, "I have to start a movie company. I have some SciFi books that will have to be changed into scripts. I also have the ideas for a television series. The first show takes place in China in front of a Shaolin temple. I went into detail as to what the temple stood for and described their way of fighting.
Jamie now stood on the floor and displayed his robe and I talked of the young boy that stood quietly in the rain while the others fled. I used Jamie as a living doll to show the stances. With little dialogue from my characters I had to put a lot of episodes into one. They liked the 'grasshopper' and the water worn stone idea.
Before I knew it an hour had passed and my throat was dry. Carm continued by talking about life in the military. He actually gave a good rendition as he mentioned the good and the bad points. He took a long time explaining boot camp then talked about what could be learned in the military if the recruit decided to take advantage of the opportunity.
We left later and had a pack of kids following us. It gave me hope for my books and possibly my movies but the kids seemed to be lonely and there was little I could do.
We took a taxi us back to John's. I washed up then started the meal. Mrs MacIntee watched as I did everything. At the same time I talked about the new kitchen I was going to give her and asked for ideas that would improve it. Soon she was working with me assisting in doing the simple things.
"Your song went out today. I would think in two to three months you would will start hearing it on the radio. It might also be kept in reserve by the person who buys it until they need a good song."
"That's ok. My husband likes the idea and is spreading around the words now. He distinctly told them that I am not a store bought woman though."
"It was only a song with the same name as you have."
"I know and I still like it." She changed the subject, "You talked about this island and how it could move to different spots in the kitchen"
"Yes, the new island will move and the wheels lock and will keep it in place. The bottom carries some of the things you need in the kitchen."
We cut up chicken breasts then cooked them with the right sauces and spices. John came into the house and his nose brought him to the kitchen. "Good afternoon. I see the two of you are having designs on my waistline."
I said, "We learn to cook properly because in Home Ec you have to eat the mistakes too."
"I guess that will do it. What did you find out today?"
I continued with the preparations and said, "Jamie is looking good and in great spirits considering that he is cooped up in the hospital. Carm bought him a beautiful Chinese silk robe. I got some televisions for the hospital and not only bought my way past the nurse but got a tax deduction."
John said, "I had to call the Crown Attorney in North Bay and tell him not only your location but that of your little friend. He told me he would pass the information on to Children's Aid. We were on the phone for quite a while and I could hear that he was excited with the prospects of an actual case of brainwashing a minor and how it will help his case."
I asked, "Is someone besides the Children's Aid going to track down the aunt? She would have to know who took her charge from her. Goldbalm is the logical person. He is going to have to fabricate a lie to explain how Mr Sinclair was able to take custody."
"We are checking that too. Mr Sackman was worried about your safety but knows that the situation is perfect to increase your public awareness. The value of your songs and other works are going to increase. He told me that MGM is getting more serious about your script. Now that your name will be more widely known we can demand a higher price."
I asked, "What about the book form of the two novels?"
"They usually talk through the mail. We haven't got a rejection slip yet."
"I think the novels will sell. One if the movie is made and the other even if I have to make the movie myself."
"Jeff, then you have to deal with distribution. You may have to open your own theatres."
Now this was an interesting idea. Imax theatres didn't come out for another ten years. "John, that is a great idea. I just thought of very large format film that has to be shown through an equally large projector. The cost would be a lot more than conventional films but the images could be a hundred feet high." I thought then of the Steadicam system. This would make a fortune for me but the television cameras now were very large. Movie making though could use the system on their track-mounted vehicles.
"A hundred feet high?"
"It can be reduced in size though. With six audio channels, a person would believe they are actually in the action. It think if the movie was projected inside a large dome it would be even be more compelling."
John asked, "Is this where you want to put most of your money? It will eat it all up and more."
"You're right. But if I get enough spare change I can start this before somebody else thinks of it."
"Good but better to hope your books and scripts sell."
The food was almost done and Mrs MacIntee was not ashamed to sample what was I made. "Not bad for an amateur," was her smiling comment.
I had made lots so I could feed Carm too and leave enough for the staff to taste. Rose promised she would share. John and Carm liked my meal better than the Japanese or authentic Chinese meals and complimented me on it.
The expected phone call came and John listened to what the doctors had to say. He played with his pen but wrote down notes so there would not be any mistakes.
When he got off the line he told us, "Jamie had another episode." Both of us were now worried. "It was a mild one this time. The doctors now are even more behind your idea of mental conditioning. They think that Jamie can be brought back to us but they have no idea of the time needed. They both think that the pair of you are the anchor he holds his sanity by."
"That puts a lot of responsibility on our shoulders. His link to me may be his conditioning. Carm, though, is a new friendship. That feels a lot cleaner to me."
"Cleaner?"
"He wants sex. With the evidence of this happening then I could be blackmailed. Carm is just friendship."
"Are you sure? You mentioned that he met a person in Toronto for a liaison. This could have been to tie Jamie to a man. He is a very beautiful child and many people would be interested in his body."
Now it was my turn to think and I said, "You may be right. It makes me sick to think about it, especially if Jamie was destined to be heterosexual after some harmless experimentation."
I called home again and Susan immediately picked up the phone. She was hoping it would be me. The school was in an uproar again, especially after the Toronto papers talked of the kidnapping. A bad feeling came over me when I thought of Sinclair's mob past. I talked to all the ladies including my youngest but instead of putting her to Grampy I asked for Edgar.
"Hello Mr Congdon. What is it you would like?"
"Sinclair is a mob figure. The second solution may have been my death or involve the death penalty if Sinclair was caught. I am trying to get across to you that this may be very much more serious than I thought. Whoever is behind this, faces some heavy jail time. All they have to do is hire an assassin to make sure Sinclair never mentions names."
"I concur. I will inform the police."
I added from all the crime films I had seen, "An orderly, a nurse or a doctor can slip in and administer some poison that will not cause any symptoms until the culprit is long gone. While you are here, I'll put Carm on."
While Carm talked, John said, "That does make sense. Kidnapping has the same penalty and the people behind Sinclair will face the same prospects."
Instead of going shopping on Tuesday we went to the research facility. The engineers and tradesmen were very interested in what had happened. I had to give a short talk on it from my perspective. I got a dig in for more security and hoped it would help.
The quarter inch tape was now cut and on very large spools but there was little I could do with it. It worked well in a standard recorder and I gave Carm the job of using sound of various intensities and then try to see how sensitive it was. It was not scientific but we could get a feeling for our product.
John had arranged for some of the chemists to be transferred to me for an experiment. I had four of them before me now.
"Gentlemen I want to make something simple for the home. I want you to make a sturdy vibrating platform that may have to be mounted on rubber. Make a lot of small moulds to cast some different compositions of fine stone, and pigment, then blend in an acrylic polymer. A large platform will be required to test full scale projects.
"I want to cast sinks too and then bond this unit to a hole cast in the counter top. Somebody will have to find some large stainless steel sinks to be mounted in the openings too.
"My suggestion to you is to measure your counter at home very accurately. The product I believe can be sold for a high price and you'll get one of the perks for helping me."
Previously, we had made one valve suitable for a bathroom so I could patent the mechanism. With some mechanical engineers and tradesmen I gave them a similar task to perform. I didn't need the valves pretty because that could be done in real production.
"Gentlemen, I will be setting up a factory to manufacture these articles. We will be making new designs all the time. This requires a both a management team and the actual research. When we are done we can have a talk about it."
I didn't know how many engineers would want to enter management or trades for that matter, but I was still desperately short of people that could take orders and give them out again.
John, at least, had got Stelco interested in steel siding, our racking system and some new types of sheet metal screws. We would get a cut of every component made if and when a second contract was negotiated.
Before we knew it, it was time to eat and visit Jamie. We had a rental car now that Carm drove.
Carm said, "What is so special about that tape I was fooling with?"
"It is thinner and stronger than the old tape and the coating is more sensitive. This means that you can get much better quality music from this tape."
"Worth much?"
"Fifty to a hundred I guess."
"Thousand?"
"Million."
"Oh."
We found Jamie a bit more subdued than usual but that was still acceptable. He had three boys with him and he was talking to them when we arrived. He was just as excited though when we he saw us.
We were introduced to his friends. I soon found out that he had told them about my latest adventure. Jamie though stayed close to one boy and even put his hand on the boy's shoulder. I was happy for the friendship until I took a good look at the boy. In many ways he was similar to me including the burns that the child was in the hospital for in the first place.
It was clear that all the vampire myths had some elements of truth sunlight didn’t cause me to burst into flames but after a while it did make me tired so I would wait till darkness fell and select my first victim.

The Rebirth. By Alyssa Davis I knew I should have checked the long range weather before I left the airport. I had been airborne for several hours and the weather was rapidly getting foul. November weather can be very tricky in this area and can change quickly...warm one hour and cold the next. It was snowing heavily now, I was hitting strong, gusty headwinds, and I wasn't exactly sure I knew where I was. I estimated I had about an hour's worth of fuel left in my single engine Cessna...

REBIRTH PART TWO: FIRST SUMMER ? by: JL Williams CHAPTER FIVE: FIRST MONTH Jamie awoke the next morning slightly sore, but smiling. The ever- present Eve bathed her, and prepared her for the morning aerobics. Eve was her usual efficient self, but Jamie was distracted. She needed to talk to one of the doctors. Eve led Jamie to the aerobics class, and to the beaming Leslie. Jamie was relieved to see her, and to see her smile. She struggled through the aerobics work out. Her muscles...
Rebirth Chapter Four By J.L.Williams CHAPTER THIRTEEN: THE BEACH PARTY The next few weeks passed with no major excitement. Jamie spent her mornings doing aerobics. She was now becoming a master at them, and challenging Riccardo to make the programs more and more difficult. Breakfast was always spent talking with Dr. Leslie. She came to the conclusion that these were on going psychological examinations! But she didn't care. She loved Leslie more than anyone. Her afternoons...
REBIRTH PART FIVE CHAPTER 17: GREAT DATE Dick was true to his word. He called Jamie Saturday, about noon, and asked if she wanted to go to the movies, ?or something? later that night. Jamie suggested that Dick come over to the mansion. She said they could watch a movie there, and wouldn?t be confined to being quiet and stuck in the show. Jamie said that if Dick wanted to rent a movie or two that would be fine, she didn?t care what he wanted to see. Dick readily agreed, and...
REBIRTH ADVENT Chapter 1 I sat at the bar, alone, just enjoying the dim lighting, the cool air, and, most of all the quiet. It should be quiet; it was only 1o'clock in the afternoon, after all. I have always enjoyed this place because it was just a bar; in a world of specialty drinking houses, sports bars, strip bars, pick-up bars, you name it, it was pleasant and relaxing to find a place without pretention, without ambition, that just is what it is and is content with that. The...

Walking down the road to an outdoor cafe he brought no eyes onto himself. His gait was smooth with no variation that so many of the young folks have. His appearance was middle aged, slightly out of shape, a not-so-neatly trimmed black beard and short cropped hair. His face was round, and caucasian, though his eyes had a slight...
Rebirth (Author's note: This is a sequel to 'Laura's Ladies', and will make more sense if that is read first, but this can be read without doing so.) *** At the far edge of my vision, one of the big windows is shattered. The rest are streaked and dusty in the bright sunlight. That disturbs me. How can people see me when the windows are not clean? I can't see my reflection. My thoughts drift like warm honey. I stand in my pose, as I always have. I'm wearing black, strappy...
(Loremaster POV) Wecome young one, I am the Loremaster. Hmm, it seems you have suffered a strange fate at the hands of some divine or infernal power. You are not dead let me assure you of that before you do anything rash, but sadly it is beyond my power to return you to your original world although I can find out who has done this to you and see about getting it reversed. Before we continue, let's start piecing you back together, shall we? Let's start with something simple, are you a boy or a...

Eons of eons in the future, or at least what humanity once called the future, earth and all of its inhabitants have long disappeared. The sun, the beginning, and source of all life exhausted its hydrogen fuel, and, as a result, slowly expanded into a red giant. Earth, and the other inner planets, had been swallowed up, vaporized. Only a slowly cooling white dwarf remained to pinpoint where humanity began and once lived. Humanity, however, did not die. Just as the sun had evolved, so too had...

Gay MaleI Would you believe it if I told you that, at the age of twenty-four, I was still a virgin? Perhaps at some point, I had subconsciously decided that nobody would ever want to fuck me. Now I’ve decided this ought not to be the case; I was wasting time not being put to good use. If I wanted to become Anastasia, I’d have to start somewhere, right? Surely, there were too many horny men out there in need of sexual release, at least some of whom would be more than willing to have their way with me.I...
Gay MaleThe strobes flashed, and the fans churned up a make-believe ocean breeze. It even smelled like the beach in the studio, from the ton and a half of sand they hauled in for the shoot. The center of attention was a lithe, fair-skinned model with long hair that flowed like black water in the wind. As the cameras clicked and hummed, she posed expertly, every move perfect, every look to die for. Two lighting technicians enjoyed the show. Their equipment was in place and required no...
Mom was up early again and she got what she wanted before I got my eggs. The girls came down later and looked at us as if to find a way to read what was happening. They knew our mother and I had sex and the scream at the end readily confirmed it. Paige was on the look out for threats on the way to school and I let her have her fiction that this is they way I would be attacked. Before school started I reported to Mr Goods and told him of how Goldbalm had almost pushed his way into our home...
Today I took Paige home with a difficult parting for each of us. I kissed Jane and the girls but got my bike out of the garage. It had been used for the newspapers and had large balloon tires. Though my body had rode the bike even in the winter my mind had not been on a bike in fifteen years. I walked with Sandy and Faith, and my cane was sticking out of a cardboard box. We spoke of the projects and I explained about what the bottoms would be like as the world liberalised. "The bottoms can...
I slept in until eight thirty. I woke to find Maggie licking my erect prong. They were whispering encouragement and possible technique. Susan said, "Lick just the end. Clara says her sister does that to her boyfriend and it drives him wild. Ya, like that but just use the tip of your tongue." I was enjoying the sensations then I heard, "Guys like girls to run the tip of your tongue all the way from the bottom to the top. Other guys have lots of hair so you can start on his bag." Maggies...
I woke up early and just stayed in bed looking at my lover. She had a small snore that she always denied. When she woke up she looked around to see me looking at her. "What are you looking at mister?" "Oh, just the woman I love." "Ha! You love a lot of women and I have to share." "True but I love you the most." "Prove it." I started my journey till she remembered her state. Her bum got a single swat and I continued. Her scream five minutes later woke the others. With her hand...
The girls accused me of being a tyrant because of my constant questioning. Passing this year would be less difficult for them but I still wanted them to get high marks. This would boost their confidence and probably get them to work even harder in September. Paige came over and showed me her new dress. The quality time she shared with her mother had taught her many skills and caused Nora to go beyond what she knew. I was always getting new things to taste. I had homemade shirts too that I...
A week before final exams, I handed in the completed patent application. Reference was made to one mirror at the back to bounce more of the laser light back into the system. Other gases including that from a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher were entered. These were expensive to fill but the school board or Mr Flaherty let me have one. I had even skipped school to work on the 'special project'. North Shore Signs donated some neon that allowed me to cover that particular gas. Helium was not...
Everything changed again on July 20. I was moping around the house after my first appearance in court. The court case was slated for seven days later. I had even turned the television on. I was watching drivel on CBC but my mind was that way too. At eleven twenty a news report came in that cut into the show. The announcer mentioned that a man hijacked an automobile with a gun in Windsor Ontario that morning. A still photo showed a good-looking young woman that the reporter said was...
There was a fog on the ground in the morning. It was quite cool. When it was light enough I studied the topo map. We were much higher now and I took out the compass I had found in the cabin. The kidnapper, or Carl Honzer, would keep the hydro road well patrolled and try to keep us from getting to Vockner. The more sizable town of Malute could be reached with more difficulty and the man could not be in both places at once. Though it was chilly I did what was necessary. I dumped my water and...
Pre-recorded music was only in record form in 1958. Eight or the rare four track cartridges were not even around then. Phillips made tape recorders but they were the reel to reel type. There were some quality problems with sound and maintenance. There was a very noticeable hiss from the tape that could be corrected by using a ceramic head. These devices had not invented yet. Also later on, two ridges on the head were used to guide the edges of the tape so it didn't wander. Another...
The bus trip to Toronto was boring but I managed to get a seat that had some light and I buried my nose in a Chemistry book from the library. When things quieted down, I was able to lean on a metal partition and get some sleep. Surprisingly nobody recognised me. At fifteen minutes after seven in the morning we got into the bus station. I had got my bag from overhead and felt bad because I had to have help to both put it in place and retrieve it. A familiar suit and face was waiting in the...
While Mr Holtzman spoke, I absently caressed Corinne's hair and continued working on the ideas that had to be covered in the patent. I must have been at this for ten minutes before I heard my host. "Jeff, will you come here? Mr Sackman is on the phone." "Sure." I put the clipboard aside then tried to slip from under Corinne without waking her. I put her head down and she just went back to sleep. "Hello Mr Sackman. How are you doing?" "Hello to you too Mr Congdon, and I'm feeling...
Paige and I got to Miss Floit's room before the first class. The teacher smiled and said, "Hello Jeff, Paige. How are the pair of you doing?" "Not bad for health but Paige is singing flat again." Paige retorted but only with a little anger. "I am not — " She saw the smile and blushed. I said, "I came here to ask you something. Susan is canvassing for a small band to play with her and the other girls when they play 'Everybody's Somebody's Fool'." "Is that another of your...
I woke up the next morning with someone spreading a bad case of morning breath at me. We were holding each other and it felt good to be where I was. It was still early so I went back to sleep but moved the pillow to deflect the air flow. The second time I awoke it was to people moving in the house. There was an analogue clock on the table because digital clocks were not invented yet. That may be another thing to make when I got LCDs done. Corinne looked very beautiful as she rested quietly....
It was a different student this time. He yelled at me, "Watch where the fuck you're going. You trip me again and I'll pound the crap outta you good and I won't let you drop a rock on me either." My shoulder that suffered from the gunshot hurt like hell. The young man was bigger than the last, and maybe grade eleven or twelve but I wasn't sure. I got up with difficulty and said, "Did she promise you some good pussy for this. I doubt if she will pay up. That makes you a fool." The...
The next day at gym, Mr Renzo didn't mention health class at all. I did get a little shit for not being as fast as I should be. The students looked sharply at me as if I was going to flatten the teacher. Later, though, they had lots of questions. I had even less time to answer them. Home Ec was better because Mrs Cameron was talking about budgets and then negotiating for a good price. Since I had mentioned this the first day of class, I was asked again. I had fun talking about the machines...
The girls used the phone to contact friends and I started to make lunch. We ate together as usual but this time Susan was talking of her plan. It had some thought put into it. I politely shot some holes in it so she could find ways to patch her strategy. The basement called me and I went down with a bit more hope in wringing out some information to make something that I had seen thousands of times. Jane made supper and she whispered to me, "They are still very excited. They called lots of...
Monday morning, Mr Sharp unexpectedly said, "Jeff, Mrs Cameron would like to see you. She said you may want to take an extra Home Ec class today." "That is a hard choice to make. I like this class or I would not have taken it. If I go to Home Ec, I have to eat all my mistakes. Would you get better response from your students if you instituted the same rules?" He smiled and pointed. "Get out of here." I smiled back and left. It wasn't until I knocked and was let in that I noticed...
Wednesday I saw more of the proud looking girls. Their backs were straight and they walked with graceful steps. If the queen had come, she could walk no better. Some nodded their heads at me as if signalling that I was at least partially acceptable. When I got into Home Ec, Janice came to me quickly before the class started. I thought she was going to ask about a suitable boy but she said, "Jeff are you going to give us a talk too." Mrs Cameron came in right behind her and interrupted,...
Friday morning had an inch of snow on the ground. This was almost nothing to us. A few fools forgot that they had to use more room to stop and got into accidents. I knew that even this much snow would stop some warm cities because nobody had any experience driving in this condition. I listened to the girls talk as the snow crunched under their boots. I wondered why Sam Johnson had not phoned last night and put it off as his method of saying he wasn't really interested in my songs. That was...
At nine thirty we got to John's home and I just wanted to sleep. Corinne wanted to talk and play. I had a quick shower and talked to the child for a half hour then went to sleep. Corinne got on the bed later and watched me wondering why I wanted to do a stupid thing like sleep when I could be playing or talking with her. I got up at four with a headache from changing my sleep pattern. Corinne was happy that I came to my senses. I wanted to do some shopping before the stores closed. Sunday...
I was able to have lunch with Paige the next day. We enjoyed ourselves even more because Marcy didn't come around to bother us or abuse me. There was not even a large young man ready to do damage either. Other young men bothered me though. It was not the same group but either they had the same complaint or Marcy had found a more subtle way of attacking me. I could see her quite easily stirring up the guys by blaming me for all their ills. I did another small experiment in chemistry and at...
James and Jane were sitting down drinking some tea when I arrived. He seemed to like some of Jane's pastries. He jumped up when I got there. I had to smile and said, "Sit and eat. We are not in that much of a rush." He nervously said, "I got most of the things you wanted. The planning department provided me the maps without a problem." "Did you find out about the crusher?" "It was bought by a scrap yard. I went by and saw that it has not been cut up yet. I don't know how good it...
It was a cold morning although there was no new snow. We talked as we walked to school, and I was worried about the girls. "Jennifer, why don't you set aside some time for music? You too Susan. You can still have your social gatherings but you did start the other tasks." It was Susan that answered. "I guess we could." She looked around at the other girls and they seemed to nod in acceptance. I guess they were looking for a way to get back to their old routine, they just needed a small...
When I regained my seat I said, "How many of these can we get? I want to put out the possibility of letting the current tenants stay in the house until we are ready to upgrade the street." Both were staring at me. Jane was the one that broke first. "Well?" "Well, What?" "The loan?" "Oh, it looks like I got it." "How much?" "It's on a sliding scale. The line of credit is based on what I currently own. When I use the money to buy any particular property then that loan can be...
That night Paige and I bathed in our own en suite. I couldn't wait and made love to her in the enclosure. She returned the favour as I held her head to me. When we got out I carefully dried each inch of her body and kissed the portions to make sure. She shivered though as I continued until the job was done to my satisfaction. We hurried back to bed so I could begin again to make love to my future wife. The door opened slowly and I stopped what I was doing. The eye looking at me was only...
We got into North Bay at a little after eight. We all went to our house in two taxis. I opened the door first and knew there was something wrong. I could detect the faint smell of cigarette smoke. It was old but not that old. Being at the front of the bus all that time kept the smell of cigarettes away from me. I pulled Jane off to one side for a moment and whispered, "Someone was in our house. Don't say anything that can harm the family. Tell the other girls though. I don't want to upset...
Wednesday was almost a non-event. I was still not ready to participate much in school life. Jamie invited me over to his home but I had to refuse. Mr Grissom gave me some pamphlets and even some phone numbers to try, but because Barry was now twenty, getting him educational help it was not going to be easy. There was no such thing as an adult education centre anywhere that I knew of other than at a college or university. Ian though was coming around enough that I was able to introduce him to...
When I woke up the four engineers were still there with six others. Mrs. MacIntee was making breakfast, and when she bent down to put a plate in front of me I impulsively kissed her cheek then said, "Thanks, you are a great cook." "Thank you too Mr Congdon." "I think we have known each other for a while now. We can go by first names. Mr Holtzman runs his home his way but I like to be more personal." "My name is Rose." I went upstairs later and woke up a sleepy little girl by...
Jamie came in with a bruise on his face. His walk was odd; and it could have been from a fall as he said. It was during gym that I saw the bruising on his arm much like a strong man had squeezed him on both arms. After gym I said, "Jamie, will you do as I say? I am your friend." "Yes — yes I will." I pulled him back into a corner and hand him face away from the light. "Bend over and touch your toes and keep your hands there." "Why?" "Am I your friend?" He did as I asked but did...
I woke up now very mindful of the microphone. A hand was holding my erection while Jamie was cuddled to my back. I could feel that a portion of his anatomy had slipped out of its confines and was now between my legs. When I moved to get up Jamie moved to keep me in place as if it were important we stayed this way. It took a little work but I got away from him and covered him with the blankets again. I walked into the kitchen with my pajama bottoms sticking out and found Edgar there having a...
He didn't argue but couldn't get Jamie to respond. When the boy started to collapse the man moved faster than I could believe possible and scooped him up. Everybody now was concerned. I picked up the box and said, "Jamie is still upset. He is just going for a rest." I hurried up the stairs and found Jamie on the bed and Charley kneeling beside it trying to think of what to do. I sat on the bed looking at the boy and Charley said, "Do you want me to go?" "No." I stroked Jamie's...
We arrived on the thirteenth and tomorrow would be Wednesday, Maggie's birthday. John was going to stay over and go to the party even if it was just a small one with just our extended family. Paige came running to see me. We hugged and kissed right in the street. The ladies were lined up and I kissed all of them but had to do it more chastely for real family. Corinne was happy to see both her Grampy and me. All the girls kissed Jamie more thoroughly than I had been greeted, and he seemed to...
Things had not settled down at school. People who didn't know me avoided me as if I would suddenly attack them. Cops wore guns in later years and the police were usually known for being stable. The gun was not noticed as much. I hoped that they could see that I was not going to do anything unless I was threatened. The people that did know me avoided me as if they didn't want to hurt a celebrity. I just tried to act as like a dopey kid and hope they bought it. I was able to eat lunch with...
We went to Toronto with presents for Corinne. John had some for me too. MGM had bought Jaws and the novel 'Star Wars' was going to be published late in the fall. The deal for the razors went through and we even got an offer from Bell or rather AT&T. It was a lowball figure and I was not letting them get away with it. We had sent the same design out to various countries in Europe. They had not got back to us even though they had the parts and drawings for just as long. A similar circuit...
The two weeks before the trip were hectic. The band and everyone else expected me to get everything ready. I got everyone's birth certificate as this was all that was needed to cross the border. Flashing money at a problem was not good so I just made use of the bus system one more time. I purchased tickets ahead of time for an express coach to Toronto, followed by a short stop over and a regular bus to Fort Erie and then over the bridge to Buffalo. In Buffalo we would get onboard a flight...
The trip home was not as exciting as the one going south. We had slept on the flight with the help of hypnosis. The band members were not involved in this. Angela's parents and Paige's came over and the group let them in on the details. The highlight was to meet some of the professional singers. Everyone here had a chance to shake hands with Elvis among others. I received some good and bad news too. The city fathers were having a special meeting on Tuesday to discuss the sale of the land....
The courtroom the next day was exactly the same. The Crown Attorney took up where he had left off and dealt with the next set of charges against Goldbalm. "Tell us what happened when you were chased by Mr Sinclair." I had a folder in my hand with my notes and went through them point by point. The courtroom gasped as I took out Mr Sinclair's eye then his testicles and jaw. I explained how I was hurt but still got the man into the car. I mentioned his gun but he was in no condition to get...
When I left the house and went back to town I stopped off at the lab. Edgar showed me the ruby laser in operation. There was more dispersion in the beam and Edgar said, "We are doing other crystals too to get the strongest results. The chrome works great. What else can we use?" "Pick something and try it. I want your name out there too and not just as the guy that built the device for me. I do have two more kinds of crystals to make then we are going public. We could get more done but I...
School had changed not only for me but for everyone. The female population was not as meek. Girls had always known that they had something that the males wanted and felt secure that they could trade for it. It was just that after the trade was legitimised then it was taken for granted. Now the ladies were more socially aware and knew a lot more about what was ahead of them. This now made the boy who was malleable in more demand. In a way the boys were now being trained so they would fit...
Paige's perspective: I felt so helpless. Dad walked behind me as we went down the steps to the front door. Maggie and Jamie just stood open-mouthed as we walked by. I turned around with tears in my eyes and looked at Jeff who was following us. He was just as upset as I was. He looked at me as if we would never see me again and I felt the same way even though I knew that we would get back together somehow. Dad had never been this angry before and I didn't know what caused it. Outside the...
Jack was remanded for ten days in jail. We went down to see him but I did not go in just yet. Paige came out crying because her father was not better yet. I began to suspect something rotten and then consider what I could do to monitor the man. Nora confirmed my suspicions when she said, "Jack isn't getting better. In fact he still looks like he's on a drunk." I took my suspicions to Mr Tatum the Crown Attorney. After we shook hands, he said, "What can I do for you Mr Congdon? How is...
School was not that different for me, but it was for some of the grade nine students. The girls took a class with a woman teacher that taught how to service a car. One young and good looking female cook from the Mandarin Restaurant showed how it was really done in a kitchen. I had a difficult time understanding her but her class was in quite a demand. The restaurant was not finished yet but the roof and walls were up. It, like the dojo, showed the peaked roofs of eastern architecture. Mai...
