Her own mother had preferred booze to food, and Suzanne and her sister made do as best they could. Suzanne forced the memory away.“Beautiful job, sw...etie. Your dad is going to love it.”Tanya paused and looked up.“You really think so, Suzanne?”Suzanne stepped to Tanya’s side and hugged her, trying to avoid the frosting-covered spatula in the girl’s right hand.“I know he will.”“Did you order the dinner?”Suzanne laughed. “You bet I did, Tanya. We’ll have enough for leftovers all week.”The girl put. ..not to much but just enough to kinda let her know. Time passed and it was time to take her home unfortunately...when I got back home I had a friend request on myspace...as soon as I seen the notification, I prayed it was her..IT WAS HER! : ) 3 weeks later we started dating and one day I just couldn't take it anymore...we were watching a movie and I asked her if she liked foot massages...she replied "oh I love foot massages, wanna give me one?". I said yes! of course....man, just seeing her. My eyelids were getting so heavy.So very heavy. Miko's voice seemed to be trailing off. I could still hear it,but the words…the words were making less and less sense. What was shesaying? "My eyes. I have to keep my eyes open. Concentrate, I have to concentrate," Ithought as I worked up all my remaining energy to turn my head in Miko's direction.She was so lovely and beautiful even though she was out of focus. She keptgetting more and more blurry, and then I felt myself slipping away into sleep.. She had to leave it long, for she had no clips to hold it in its usual, tightly coiled, coif. Once done, she stared at her reflection and noted the slight discoloration of her skin. Her fair beige cheeks were now fading to a light ash gray, and her eyelids were showing signs of fading as well. Pelor looked like this when he… Losira shut her eyes tight, wanting to blank out the images that swirled in her mind for dura-cycles, but they wouldn’t go away. * * * ‘Pelor?’ He heard her voice next to.
