The Collapse A New Beginning Book 1Chapter 14

I woke up in our newly expanded quarters in what I called my cmsix bed because of its size. All of my wives except Kari had given me a puzzled look when I named the bed during the tour of our new quarters. Kari's wink let me know that I wasn't the only family member who had once read the tales of that lost Texas bard. Hell, I wouldn't even bet he was lost. If there were little green men responsible for the collapse he was probably aboard one of their ships arguing with them about the legality of the endeavor.
I lay there just looking around our new quarters. To say they were sumptuous would almost be an understatement. Tom and Jim had led a group of town's people and friends in the remodeling of a whole wing of the former enlisted quarters into an overlarge bedroom with a large master bath and a formal sitting room. I hadn't even known that anyone knew the date of my birthday until the whole damn town, and representatives of our other three towns, turned out for the celebration. The furnishings except for the bed came from Hurlburt Town. The citizens of our second town had stripped them out of some former general's quarters on that station. The bed had been hand crafted by the citizens of Rucker Town from some teak planks found in the former base's woodworking shop. From the looks of the bed with its ornately carved head and footboard the mayor of Rucker Town was one hell of a master craftsman. The walk in shower with multiple shower heads was the contribution of a pair of plumbers from Mississippi that happened to be citizens of Keeslerville.
I still felt conflicted about accepting the gift. On the one hand the gift seemed to set me and my family apart and above the others which was something I didn't want. On the other hand it's hard to argue with the love and affection of the people who had worked so hard to give us this special gift. In the end I allowed myself to be convinced that it was the beginning of new quarters for all of the multiple spouse families. At last count there were ten families at Whiting alone that had three or more spouses. One of these families even had two men that were married to one highly sexed female. Before the wedding Lana had related to me that the men were bisexual and had been lovers before meeting the young woman. I was seated with my own spouses on the front row at their wedding.
Even with the overlarge bed my wives and I still somehow always ended up in a pile in the middle. Irene was still clinging closely to me, almost as if I was a lifeline. This was a holdover from the crazy weeks after Julie's death. I gradually worked my way free on this chilly morning without waking my sleeping wives, or so I thought. The air was chilly as everyone had stopped using air conditioning and heating unless it was absolutely needed. This conserved energy at the cost of opening a window or adding a few extra blankets. As I stumbled to the bathroom I noticed the floor was carpeted with our discarded clothing from the past evening. One great thing about having a multiple partner marriage was that someone was always enthusiastic about sex and that enthusiasm was usually contagious. My wives were extremely supportive and yet competitive as hell with one another in the bedroom.
I liked this bathroom. The crew that had completed the plumbing had combined many of the accoutrements from the large dormitory style bathroom into our private bath. I could just imagine Lana, Laura, Irene and Kari lined up at four of the seven sinks in their boudoir uniforms, i.e. nothing. I must have zoned out thinking about that because it seemed that in a blink of an eye they were lined up there winking at me. I grinned and headed to the massive shower.
Kari let out a giggle and said, "I don't think that's morning wood unless he's going to pee in the shower."
Lana solemnly said, "I'll find out," as she moved past Kari to follow me into the shower.
Laura piped up and said, "That's my sister-wife, always willing to sacrifice herself for the team. I don't think we should send her in there alone."
Irene finally spoke up and said, "Hey, you two soaked up most of the love juice last night. Steve belongs to me and Kari this morning."
Upon reaching the shower Lana turned and said, "If you're going to get the worm you have to be an early bird."
While she was speaking Laura stepped past her and possessively wrapped her hand around my cock. I would have said something about grab-assing in the shower except that Laura also had her hand around my neck and her tongue deep inside my mouth. I did hear Kari say, "Leggo my Eggo," where upon all of the girls except Laura doubled over in laughter. I was trying to laugh, not that what she said was funny but laughter is contagious, except that I can't laugh and suck face at the same time.
We were all smiling as I disengaged myself. Lana said, "That was not funny."
Irene answered and said, "It must have been funny 'cause we all laughed."
Laura who was bent over holding on to a towel rack trying to get my attention said, "I didn't laugh."
Her sister quipped, "You couldn't laugh with your tongue pushed that far down hubby's throat."
Lana looked at me seriously and said, "It's a wonder you'd let her do that at all considering all the places her tongue was last night."
Laura grabbed my cock and pulled me over towards her as she responded, "He didn't mind where I had my tongue last night. You should be glad I put it there, it got him hard enough for that marathon cowgirl fucking you gave him before he went to sleep."
I reluctantly pulled away from greedy Laura as Kari began to wipe me down with a soapy washrag. I pulled her too me and gave her a deep soul searching kiss. I knew that even though sex with my wives was too wild for even a Desperate Housewives episode the sex wasn't what I craved most from these women. I had long ago decided that their friendly back and forth bickering hid no jealous agendas. My wives used this role play to feel each other out, to make sure that there were no hard feelings and find the one that was down and needing attention so that they could focus their love. I also knew this because of the times that it had been focused on me.
After giving each of my wives a kiss I stepped out of the shower to dry off. I finished drying and moved into the bedroom to dress. From the laughter in the shower I knew that the playing didn't stop because daddy left the sandbox. I looked over my speech on my desk in the corner and saw where Kari had made some corrections and additions. Kari had become more than my operations officer and wife. She had also accepted the unenviable task of ensuring my public face was not smeared with egg.
I loved all of my wives equally, and each brought a unique flavor to our marriage but Kari was special. I know that sounds contradictory but it was true nonetheless. Long ago I realized that the reason I was held in such high regard was primarily because of those around me. The loyalty and selfless actions of Jim, Tom, Sheila and others, especially my wives, enabled and ennobled me. My wives were all women behind the man as well as being tireless workers in their own right but Kari, well Kari jealously guarded my image as well as pulling her own weight as the leader of the Aviation Brigade. I really felt like most any man could do my job with help like that.
I waited this morning for my wives to finish dressing and we walked over to the reception hall together. We were actually closer to the annex, as the second dining hall was called, but I preferred eating at the reception hall. I always knew that unless she was sick I would see Sheila's smiling face at the end of the breakfast bar, greeting everyone and making us all feel at home. Families were assigned to the reception hall and the annex on a regular rotation but somehow, I was always welcomed at both.
A few people tried to step aside and let me bypass the line, but I think most knew that I would never do that unless there was some type of an emergency. Each of those in line had a job that I thought of as equally important to mine. Hell, over half of them were farmers, as Whiting still grew more food than the other towns, and most of what I would be eating this morning was food they grew or raised. I never knew that raising chickens for egg production was so technically exacting until I spent a morning in line talking with one of our poultry men.
That was the other reason not to bypass the line. I learned as much of what was going on in line as I did in formal meetings or walking around the base. Something about waiting for food loosens the tongue. It also let people see that I was human and approachable. As I stood there listening to a conversation about the corn harvest I was suddenly jostled forward as someone wrapped her arms around my thighs. Almost immediately I heard, "Uncle Steve!" in stereo from first Jenn and then Jerry. Next thing I heard was Jenn say, "I got here first."
I turned around and pulled the young girl up into my arms and said, "You're getting too old to slam into people like that. I was hoping to use my legs for a few more years." I smiled at her as she giggled and called me silly. I saw Jerry trying to get my attention and so I knelt down to him and lifted him up along with Jenn. That was no easy burden as these children were getting heavy.
About the time Jerry gave me a hug I heard Jim running up breathing hard. With his hands on his knees he said, "I'm getting too old to baby sit the kids. I can't keep up with them any more."
With a twinkle in her eye Jenn said, "You never could, Grampa!"
Jim was still huffing his words as he replied, "Everything's a race or game for them."
I sympathized and thought to myself that if Irene and my other wives had their way I would be chasing around my own child in a year or so. Jenn spoke up and said, "Sides, I had to get to Uncle Steve first. I needed to tell him something 'portant."
I smiled again and asked, "What do you need to tell me pumpkin?"
Jenn put her hand on her chin and thought a moment and said, "Oh yeah. I made a hundred on my 'rithmetic test yesterday. Teacher said if I kept that up I could be a great flyer just like you one day."
At that point Jerry was pulling on my collar and put his mouth right next to my ear. He said, "I made a hundred too."
Jenn heard Jerry and said, "Yeah, but I finished first."
Jerry said, "That's 'cause you didn't double check your work like teacher said."
Jenn said, "Did too! I'm just faster than you."
Jerry said, "No you're not."
"Yes I am."
"Are not!"
"Am so!"
At that point Jim was standing up straight. He was laughing at me in the middle of all of that and said, "I've never seen two more competitive kids." Then talking to the kids he said, "You need to get down now so Uncle Steve can hold a plate. You can talk to him later."
As I went to sit them down Jerry pulled on my collar again and asked, "Can I sit on your lap this morning, please?"
I kissed him on the cheek and said, "Sure you can."
Jenn put her hands on her hips and said, "Where's my kiss? I got here first."
I bent down and gave her a wet smacky kiss on her cheek that was more raspberry than kiss. Jenn giggled again and made a big production of wiping her cheek with the back of her hand. She said, "Silly!" and laughed.
Laura and Lana who had been watching all of this from the other side of the buffet table laughed. Lana said, "He needs to be a daddy." To which all of my nearby wives nodded their heads and looked expectantly at Irene who blushed.
Jim and a couple of the men laughed. I shrugged my shoulders as if to say, 'What can you do.'
A breakfast like this morning would have been unusual before the collapse but it was one that I really enjoyed. Cornbread had replaced biscuits at most of our meals. We could grow buckwheat but not regular wheat in our area and so sometimes we had buckwheat pancakes or waffles. I hoped one day to find some farmers in the wheat belt who could supplement our scarce supplies of flour. Cornbread and locally produced sausage and fried green tomatoes were actually pretty good when mixed together. I got a lot of strange looks when I first started mixing everything together but noticed that some of the others had begun to do the same thing. Of course we had plenty of cereals still for the kids and most had adapted well to raw milk rather than the homogenized stuff that they used to drink. We still had coffee after we discovered several boxcars full two months ago. Still, I knew that Tom and others were working on blending locally grown chicory with the coffee to stretch the supply.
In the aftermath of what the New Times called the Battle of Tallahassee we debriefed fifteen people who had been prisoners of the renegade group. Eight of the prisoners were women who had been captured. Some of the women had been beaten and broken by their captors. They reacted automatically to directions and seemed to have no spirit left. Dr. Walling explained that although he was not a psychiatrist he had read of this happening to prisoners. He said given time they should...
Jan Branham brushed her honey-blonde hair out of her eyes. She had been dodging those others for so long that it was hard to remember that somewhere in her past she had been a student. She had worked so hard during seven of her 26 years towards her goal; a PhD in Industrial Engineering. The end had been in her sights when she finished her preliminary examination, the final step before her dissertation. That had felt so good that she had allowed her friends, Judy and Karen, to talk her into...
My day started early with a loud banging on our bedroom door. Someone must have pulled it closed again without taking the lock off. As I looked at the clock and saw that it was 2 AM I vowed that I was going to put a piece of duct tape across the latch on that damned door. Then through my mind's fog I heard Julie cry out, "Open up, and hurry!" There was a great deal of confusion as we all woke and made for the door at the same time. Julie was out of breath and almost frantic as she said,...
The bad thing about a weekday holiday is returning to work the day after. None of us had imbibed that much the day before; in fact as far as I knew none of the women had drunk at all, still it was hard getting up at 5:30. The flight over to NAS Pensacola in the Sabreliner VIP aircraft was less than 15 minutes. We were met by Chuck Swanson, commander of Det Two on the ramp. He was driving one of the Ford Explorers that we had modified to run off of the vegetable bio-diesel we were producing...
It was after midnight when Jan ventured out to find out what had happened. It had taken some time for her to convince Karen and Judy that it would be better if she went out alone. Over the past several weeks she had become proficient in moving about without being detected. She realized that part of the reason she had remained undetected was luck, but there was also a certain amount of skill involved in driving down darkened streets with no headlights and knowing when and where to quietly sit...
The remainder of the weekend seemed to zip by. Almost before I could enjoy it I found that Kari was shaking me awake at 1:30 AM. Still groggy and with my ass dragging I somehow made my way to the operations area for the brief where I downed my second cup of coffee. The flight we briefed was typical of the responsibilities we placed on our very young pilots. Norma Harrison, not quite 19 years old, had developed into a crack pilot with over 250 hours in the A-10 Warthog. Because of her...
I awoke before the alarm and lay in my bed pinned in by my bevy of beauties. As I listened to the repetitive resonance of their breathing and felt the soft curves pressed against me, I almost drifted back into a pleasant slumber. The only thing distracting me from my return to blissful slumber was the irritating pressure on my near-bursting bladder from someone's knee. I groaned as I fought unsuccessfully to find a position without this contact. As I would move from one knee it seemed almost...
Monday birthed in the midst of an old-fashioned fall thunderstorm. The scarcity of jet contrails and the lack of industrial soot and ozone from the steel plants in Birmingham made the skies appear a deeper blue at times, but the weather followed the same patterns that had existed for millennia in northwest Florida. A panhandle gully washer in early spring or late fall could be such that it caused the rivers and streams to rise and overflow their banks. Whiting was normally immune to the...
I woke up the next day with my morning wood spooned against the soft curves of one of the most beautiful women I had ever met. I knew that I had to get moving as we had much we needed to accomplish and yet I had to fight the somnolence produced by the siren's call of Irene's beautiful body. With some effort I extricated myself from this most languorous position. I went through my morning ritual in the attached bathroom. As I stared at myself in the mirror the person looking back seemed to...
Day Eleven: Wednesday A large crowd greeted us the next morning. Sheila drafted Lana, Laura and Julie to help prepare breakfast. I met early with Tom and Jim who both let me know right off the bat that several of the other men seemed curious about our future plans. Tom looked at Jim and back at me as if he was speaking for both men and said, "Both of us let them know in no uncertain terms that you're our leader. We explained what we've done so far and as best we could what we plan to do....
I awoke to the sound of a light rain on the window next to the bed on this early Sunday morning. The first thing I noticed was that Kari and Julie were already up. I grabbed a clean set of clothes and headed for the bathroom. I figured the rain would taper off in a bit and allow us to get in our flying. One of the things we did without, after the collapse, was meteorological information. I used to joke about how often the TV weatherman missed the forecast, but that forecast, poor as it...
I had collapsed into a chair in Irene's office - my thoughts in a jumble. In a clearer time my mind would have easily sorted this out but here I was now thinking the worst. Sam's reassurance that nothing was amiss was my life ring at the moment. Her parting words that — 'you have nothing to worry about, believe me, not about her anyway' — only added to my sense of confusion, especially considering the fact that Kari was here in the dispensary at this moment being examined. I tried to...
After an uninterrupted night's sleep I awoke to the sound of rain drops hitting the pavement outside our window. It was reassuring for me to hear such an ordinary sound in a world so obviously different than it had been just a short week ago. I normally wake up and hit the deck running in the morning, but this day, for some reason, I pulled Julie close to me and just lay there thinking about the strangeness of it all. A week ago I was a nondescript player who had little to live for except...
Day Four: Wednesday I was wrestling with an octopus that was holding me under water where I couldn't breathe when I felt something pulling on my shoulder trying to help me return to the surface. I couldn't get my hands up to touch my benefactor, so I struggled even harder against the forces trying to pull me to the bottom. That's when I awoke in a sweat. Kari was shaking me, trying to wake me from my nightmare. In the dim light from the bedside digital alarm clock I could see the concern...
It seemed as if I had just closed my eyes when I awoke to the blaring buzz of the alarm at 4:30 AM. The sudden transition from sleep to wide awake was like a bucket of icy water on my psyche. For a moment I reached for the alarm clock with malice aforethought. I sure missed being woken up by the gentle music of the radio. Alas, radio stations were no more. Suddenly the reason for the early wake-up call came to me and broke through the lingering narcosis that half-shrouded my mind. As I...
Okay, I know you're waiting for me to tell you about how I woke up with three women in bed with me and in fact I think I had some dreams about that judging from the state of the bed covers. I was mighty disappointed when I woke up needing to pee at four in the morning and found I was alone in the bed. I went to the toilet in the adjoining bathroom and stood there thinking of how much more enjoyable it had been the morning before and how neglected I felt. Where had I gone wrong? Still, I...
The next morning for some reason I awoke unusually early, before sunrise, and decided to sit outside and wait for everyone else to arise. As I walked out the dogs barked an excited greeting. To keep them quiet I went over, knelt and petted them. They repaid my effort by giving my face a tongue bath. It had been quite a while since I had time to give the dogs more than a passing glance and as I filled their water dishes I tried to focus my mind on the day's events. The first thing I saw was...
No doubt about it, we needed a larger bed. I again awoke with the pressure of Kari's knee on my bladder. I recognized that we had the room for a king size bed, if we removed the nightstand and some other items. Yet this small need seemed so insignificant compared to everything else that I loathed bringing it up. I laughed when I thought that Jim would put it on his 'A' list if I did. He worked so well as the leader of our foraging team and had amazed me with the items he found on his first...
Although the military defeat of the renegades in Jacksonville was a three day operation it took us three weeks of careful scouting to make contact with all of the singles and small groups in that city. Many of them were hiding from that same group and were a bit skittish about meeting strangers. It took patience and some courage on the part of the militia to even initiate contact. No shots were fired but during several stand-offs the situation became quite touchy. Most of these loners were...
I slept through our normal muster time on the flight line the next morning. Tuesday had been a 24 hour workday ending at about two in the morning. I would have slept longer except for the movement of the bed as several of my wives got up to answer the call of nature. I looked at the clock and it was half past eight, which was well into my normal work day. Normally I wake up full of energy, raring to go, but today I felt lethargic, as if I had not slept at all. Responsibility is a hard habit...
For the second morning in a row I woke up early wedged between Irene and Kari. This time there was no knee on pressed against my bladder and no urgent reason to leave my comfortable confines. I guess most married men know that one of the joys of marriage is the wonderful feeling of being snuggled close to your mate. For me this pleasure was multiplied threefold and on our second night sleeping together we seemed to have each discovered our place in the nest. My hand, seemingly of its own...
The image of the naked translucent creature rapidly cleared from Shem 553's mind as the third harmonic tone sounded announcing the impending arrival of an individual of importance. Shem 553's olfactory appendage hardened as the last molecules of the psychotropic stimulant were cleared from his system. About the same time his six eyes regained their ability to individually focus, he could hear the muted shuffle of the appendages of his dedicated clone-body, Shem 554, approaching. Shem 553,...
One thing about sleeping packed tightly with five women is that I've found that at least one of them will need to get up for some reason during the night. That doesn't normally bother me as I am a fairly heavy sleeper. I did notice it when both Lana and Laura got up at the same time, since I had been sleeping between the two of them. I couldn't seem to get back to sleep and lay there wondering if this was an extension of women always going to the bathroom in pairs when you take them out to...
The next morning I awoke hot and sticky. I had slept in my shorts and the two women slept in their only items of clothing, the bikinis they were wearing the day before. Because of the lack of air conditioning and the humid climate the top sheets and other bed clothing had been tossed off the bed during the night. The sheet we slept on was soaked with sweat and each of us was covered by a fine sheen of perspiration. I woke first and immediately headed for the toilet and afterwards decided that...
I awoke early with an intense pressure on my bladder. I was wedged between Irene and Kari and at least part of the problem was Kari's knee which had worked its way up under me. As much as I loved these women and wanted every night to be with each of them, at that moment I realized that we had to find a larger bed. Kari awoke as I moved out from under her and mumbled something that sounded like, "Mom just a few more minutes, please." I got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom where I...
Day Ten: Tuesday I woke up feeling like I had slept late but was surprised when I saw seven o'clock on the bedside clock. Groggy as I was I knew I needed to get started on all the work that I had planned for the day. I awoke my still slumbering brides so we could walk out to breakfast together. Hopefully Jim would be awake and I could find out if he knew the other 'Agents of the Antichrist'. Knowing Kari was a sound sleeper I awakened her first by teasing her nipples and kissing her neck....
I felt a movement in the bed and shifted to look at the clock. As my eyes focused I realized that it was 2:15 in the morning. I turned over to see Kari just squeezing into bed. I looked at her silhouette and spoke as she snuggled up to me, "I guess either I've lost my charm, or you've found something better." Even her laugh was beautiful. Then she ran her fingers gently across my face and asked, "What makes you say that, dear?" My breathing quickened at her touch. I kissed her fingers...
Monday, Monday, Can't Trust that Day. The old song seemed to sum up my feelings as I again woke earlier than my mates. Sunday was a long day and Monday seemed fated to be even longer. I had mixed feelings about having declared myself the leader. I knew that I could easily be swamped with the day-to-day details of running the base to the point that nothing would get accomplished. My hope was that nothing would change. As it was, Sheila was in charge of the physical side of things, Tom...
Starting back to School after the holidays was ok with no issues. Classes started off with reviews from before the holiday break and the introduction of some new material. Ellie meanwhile had made my table her own, which was causing some drama and a lot of snide comments from Jenny. I just didn’t know what that girl’s problem was. Kickboxing on Tuesday was nice. I knew I was going to be sore but getting back to it felt good. Master Boripat wasn’t going to let go the notion of me fighting...

My leg was getting to the point that I could go all out again during my morning jog. As I came in the door, Mom shouted out to me as she was leaving. “Barnim.” “Yes, mother.” “Seeing as you are an adult now, there’s another thing that will be fully your responsibility to take care off, your laundry. So please don’t leave your laundry laying by the washing machine unless you’re in the process of doing it.” She then pointed to a laundry bag on the floor. “No problem.” I carried the...
Christmas Eve day was pretty quiet, and since Christmas fell on a Sunday, the NFL had moved their games to Saturday. Mom and Grandmother were getting dinner ready for both days. Grandfather and I were watching football while Randy was stuck in his dungeon wrapping Christmas presents. We were forced to watch the Atlanta Falcons playing due to TV blackout; they were the local team and played the same time as the Bears. I went upstairs at the end of the 1st quarter to grab my wallet. Sitting...
I woke up and decided to take a walk as being on vacation didn’t mean that I could be totally lazy. After getting back, I got cleaned up before going down into the kitchen. Grabbing a bowl of cereal, I sat while Mom was already working on Thanksgiving dinner. Rinsing my dishes off, I turned to her. “You want some help with that?” “Nope. I know you want to watch the Bears game. So, skedaddle.” “Alright.” I went to my room to watch football as I had a decent 32-inch TV. The Bears game came...

Waking up on the 5th, I could only imagine the hassle that the first leg of the trip was going to be. It would probably put me in the mindset of never having any kids. It was a major production getting the two of them ready to go, and I was actually surprised that Randy wasn’t going to see his kids off. You could see Mom was pissed off about it from the anger seething on her face. We got to the airport just before 11am for the 12:15 flight. It didn’t take long to get checked in, then we...
To Alex, the next few weeks were tough, as tough as the days just after Lisa had died. But, true to his word, his Dad did talk to the HR Representative when he went back into the office after the 4th of July holiday. Unfortunately, they did not have counseling as part of their benefits package, but the representative did provide a number for a counselor in the area. As his Dad progressed through his counseling, he slowly came out of his depression. The one sticky point for him was his...
Molly watched her new friends drive away. When they were out of sight, she turned back to her mother. She stepped back in to her mother's arms and gave her a hug. Stopping the hug, she looked her mom in the face. "Mom, how about pizza tonight?" Kathleen looked at her baby, and she felt complete again as she realized the hole in her heart was once again filled. "What ever you want sweetie, the number for Pizza Hut is on the fridge like always." Shaking her head, she replied, "No mom,...
I was woken up to a lot of weight on my leg; it hurt like hell. “Wake up Barnim.” “My fucking leg! Get the fuck off of me!” I heard feet hit the floor and someone run off amid a torrent of crying and sobbing. I rolled over and popped some aspirin from a bottle on the nightstand. Sitting up, Grandmother came stomping heavily into the room. “What the hell did you do to that little girl?” “She jumped on my leg and I responded appropriately by cussing a lot.” “You go right in there and...

I got woken up by a bag of damn frozen peas being placed onto my face. “Get up, it’s time for breakfast. You have to take us to the airport later.” “Yes, Grandmother. Are you guys all packed and ready to go?” “Almost. We’ll be ready.” I got out of bed as she left, holding the bag of peas to my face but had to set it down as I got dressed and ready. Getting to the kitchen, it was a good breakfast of eggs and bacon. I had taken the day off work, so I just relaxed on the recliner afterwards...
Waking up, I felt something that told me my body was halting its growth. I don’t quite know what it was, but I knew that I was at the point where there was no more coming. It was 9 Aug, whatever the Agen did took less than two months to complete. I was now 6’5, 255lbs and built really well. I was benching about 300 lbs easily, though on the rubber band machine. Doing 10 pull ups wasn’t really much of a problem. My run time had plateaued at about 21 minutes, but that was without really...
Arriving to school the next day, I wondered what the fallout would be. As I walked to the cafeteria to wait for the homeroom bell, I was stopped by the assistant principal, Mr. Martin. Seemed he had a few choice words for me. “Badzinski, what are you doing here?” “Well sir. I didn’t want to be late for school.” “You got into a fight, you should be suspended. So again, what are you doing here?” “I defended myself from a student who just a moment earlier was bullying another student. I...
The next 3 days were a blur of boredom, chores, and school. The only bright spot was a surprise call from Ellie on Sunday. I didn’t recall giving her the house number, though I could have. “Barnim, it’s so nice to hear your voice.” “It’s nice to hear your voice as well. So, how’s your day going.” Ellie must have heard the questioning in my voice. “I’m sorry if I overstepped Barnim. I actually had to make a couple of calls to get your phone number.” “It’s ok. Thing is I’m very particular...
Going through my morning routine, I wasn’t looking forward to work. There were two trucks to unload and it was supposed to be 92F with 100% percent humidity. When the first truck showed up at 8am, it was already 80F, but with the heat index it was 88F. The load of fertilizer and grass seed was going to be a pain in the ass as a few of the pallets had shifted and they would need to be re-stacked. Getting the first 3 pallets off was easy, I then started fixing the screwed-up pallets. The back...
I woke up in bed with a groggy recollection of how I got there. Turning over the clock read 10am. Getting out of bed and dressing, I was still a bit drowsy even with getting up so late. Walking in the kitchen, mom and Erin were sitting at the table. “Barnim, I thought you were going to get me a present?” “Well, seeing as you have no patience whatsoever, let me go get it for you.” Mom took a long hard look at me, then said “I’m going to make you some pancakes, then we’re going to have a...
So, it was pointed out to me in the editing process that if I was going to put untranslated Polish into the story, then I needed to do something. What was suggested was to add it at the end of the chapter. So going forward, anything with an asterisk will have the word or phrase with the translation at the end of the chapter. The week started pretty good. At school, I was talking to my teachers trying to figure out what my grades were looking like. It seemed that I was going to have about a...
I don't wanna change the world I don't want the world to change me Ozzy Osbourne, from the album No More Tears The day after the get together with the Millers, Alex gathered a light breakfast of toast, a glass of orange juice, and a banana, and walked outside to eat on the deck. His parents had left earlier for a meeting with the lawyer, something about the house, he thought. Left on his own he decided to eat breakfast outside; they didn't have a deck at the last house, so he decided...
"I called you all here to announce the opening of our new venture," Macario called out over the little group of Earthers. "Paleo-Hunt, Incorporated!" A smattering of applause greeted his announcement. Amongst the group attending his grand opening, though, there was more confusion than approval in their faces. Frank decided to help his friend out by asking what was on everyone's mind; "What's a Pay Leo hunt, Mac?" "Anything it wants!" Macario laughed. "No. Actually, folks, the...
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”Anthea looked up at her mum as she sat down at the dining table. “Nothing is wrong,” Anthea responded watching as her mum hurriedly dried her hands with a tea towel.“Is the baby okay? Are you okay? Is Jack okay?” she asked as her husband came into the room and pulled up a seat at the table.“We’re all fine Mum,” she responded exasperated with her mum’s anxiety. “I have something to tell you.”“Sit down Helen,” her dad snapped. “Give the lass a chance to speak.”Anthea...
My morning workouts were getting better as it seemed to be getting easier as time went on. My stamina was increasing as it was getting less taxing as things went along. The drive to school was a long blow by blow of Ellie’s dress shopping. I was just glad that I was saved from that hell. The day went by as usual. Some days just kind of flow by with no rhyme or reason. I used the bathroom excuse to get to JROTC early. I knocked on 1stSgt Gibbs door and got the usual “In”. He looked up from...
Waking up Sunday, I went on a morning run, to spend time contemplating everything that was going on. The ordeal with Dick and the bogus assault charges was going to be troublesome for a while. What had me just as worried was Ellie suddenly not accosting me or calling the house; at least from what I knew. The issue with mom was what it was. Mom hadn’t been bugging me in a while, and that was somewhat disconcerting. I had made my stance known and it was her move now. The rest of my life was...
The weekend was rather quiet, other than a slight discussion with Randy. We’d moved the old desk out of my room and into the rec room upstairs before the delivery guys showed up and dropped off my new desk and chair. The new desk was awesome. It was made out of real maple and oak, none of that particle board crap. It had four pieces, the top which was like 60lbs, and a kind of lattice design of oak and maple. Then there were two kind of drawer towers that were the supports. There was also a...
From 'The Autobiography of Miss Louisa Harper' ~ "The summer of 1890 was to be the start of my new life. At fifteen years of age, I was to be presented to society and I had expected that I would then be considered an adult. That, at long last, I would have a say in my own life, my own destiny. That was not to be, though. I was still just a doll to be dressed and used as decoration in the home of my powerful parents. I was made up and dressed and used to impress the visitors who came...
Uther By Ellie Dauber (c) 2006 Introduction According to the legends of King Arthur, Merlin changed Uther Pendragon into a double for Duke Gorlois, so he could spend the night with Ygraine, the Duke's wife. Ygraine and Gorlois had three daughters: Elaine, Morgause, and Morgan le Faye. During their time together, Ygraine became pregnant with the child who was to become King Arthur. Uther's men killed Gorlois that same night. This is my TG (of course) version of what...
