She told me why I had not seen her all winter, Kathy explained that she didn't have very sure footing and could not risk falling. Well I finally got t...e nerve to ask her out, she said we could gettogether, and get a burger or coke, nothing heavy really. So that is what we did, I took her driving around different places, but we had a lake not far from my store, "Lake Hefner".

This was the first time he’d been to see me since Connie’s funeral. For the three months before her death he was a constant visitor, he couldn’t do enough for her, couldn’t lavish enough attention on her, obviously hoping to impress on her what a great son he was, and what a wonderful wife he had, and weren’t.

She had a couple of friends at her house whom I never knew. We were in fact very naughty, so I had bought her a lingerie set as birthday gift. I gave her the gift after the cake was cut and she started opening it in front of her friends. I stopped her and asked her to open it later alone. She understood, smiled and took the gift. I just couldn’t see it. With the technology available to both Cassandra and Crossroads, there was no need for humanity to die out on Cassandra. If that was a real possibility, it was only because they chose it.If the Powers That Be could transport people from Cassandra to Crossroads and back, and from Earth to Crossroads and back, and from Crossroads to Chaos and back, they could just as easily transport an Earth Hero to Cassandra where his semen was collected and used to artificially.
