When Brian was in the 7th grade, he found a book on parapsychology at the public library. He learned that he was not the only one who could +brain, an... that its formal name was telekinesis. ‘Tell – uh – kuh – NEE – sis,’ he repeated to himself — the ability to move physical objects using only thought. He couldn’t decide if he was excited, or disappointed, that there were others. Probably a little of both. Brian had a voracious appetite for learning diverse things, and a natural ability to solve. He said, "Let's go for a walk on the beach." That would be fun." They started walking down to the coastline. Ginanoticed that he had not let go of her hand.

She was feeling and experiencing things that she had neverexperienced before. It wasn't just being with a man that was different,her. It's Mistress Kate."Kate sounded like a lioness to Maris and she thought of the bare smoothbody concealed by the dress. Having shot those words at Maris MistressKate stood watching the girl absorb the intention.Kate stood still a moment longer then took a half step toward Maris whowas not ten feet away, "Mistress?" Maris said softly.Kate immediately turned and left only to hear Maris quietly repeat theword.As the warm shower streamed Maris thought of how her heart had beenracing as Kate had.

She tried to speak, but laughter prevented it once more. Finally, she gathered herself together enough and, after a couple of hiccups, looked at us again."Oh my lord. Look at the two of you."There was a gleam in her eye now, but I think it was a friendly.
