I think that happened when I was washing my clothes this morning. I’ll sweep it up later.”Steve turned around to face me, looked down at me all se...ious, put his hands back on my hips and said, “So where were we?”Looking up into his face with all the innocence I could muster, I said, “As I recall, you were trying to stiff me when doing my laundry.”Steve laughed at my lame joke, and that started me giggling, which got him laughing harder. Our laughter seemed to relax us both a bit, so I thought I. I used to be a clean living, fun-loving guy, and then I did the one thing that fucks us all up - I got married.

They were slits, like a reptile, taking on a beautiful golden color the same color that his hair now had changed to. His fingers morphed into deadly sharp claws, a long scaly tail with a sharp tip.
