All in all it was as if the gun were a work of art. "This gun helped keep the Germans at bay" Julia explained, then she laughed "Well actually the sno... and the cold did for the Germans – but this gun certainly made things difficult for them."Soon the order to move out came and the small clearing they had rested in was empty.It wasn't far till they came to the single lane road to the airport. It ran through the scrub along a ridge line east-west before veering Northwest down to the shore line. I walked up the stairs and carefully walked toward their bedroom and saw the light was turned on. As I got closer to the door, I noticed Maria's husband standing at the edge of the bed with the video camera on a tripod in front of him. He didn't notice me because he was so wrapped up watching what was going on the bed with Maria at that moment.I leaned forward enough so I could see for myself what was taking place on the bed. I saw Maria and Dan on the bed embraced in a long passionate. I was hung over as usual. What made today any different?A small person lay on my back porch, just outside my sliding glass door. I could tell that he was male, non-human and sick as hell. Why non-human? Humans don’t mature at fourteen inches tall, have tiny scales all over their skin or have pointed ears. How did I know he was sick? He was curled up in a ball, shaking despite it being early summer. The shakes were getting visibly weaker as I watched.Screw work. I unbuttoned my shirt and. Gibbs. We went around to the state unemployment office to find John. Sue had dropped us off there and was going to pick us up at a local diner at noon.Joe introduced me to John and we talked for a few minutes. I was impressed by John, so we invited him to come with us to the diner for coffee and to talk about a potential job offer. John jumped at the opportunity, and the three of us walked the half-block to the diner. All three of us ordered a cup of coffee and a Danish roll, my treat. John.
