"Thanks, Mack. This'll give me a nice boost to get me back to the Sorting Office. And don't I need it!"Parking his delivery trolley under a lean-to aw...ing an hour later, the old postman shuffled into the staff restroom. It was just after 5 p.m. and only Gerald and Alice remained. Gerald was a standoffish ex-schoolteacher and petite Alice - the Sorting Office's youngest postal delivery employee - was the apple of everyone's eye. Trim of figure, with a cute pink-tinted blonde fringe, no-one could. "Now, have you ever felt the desire to be controlled... ina sexual manner?" How could he know? thought Brady. "Yes." "Have you ever acted on them?" "No," replied Brady. "Would you like to?" asked Devlin. "Yes," replied Brady. "Excellent. Now, the second issue, have you ever dressed as a woman?" "Yes, for a school play and for Halloween," replied Brady. He couldn'tlie if he wanted to. "Any time other than that?" "No," replied Brady. "Have you wanted to?" asked Devlin. "Yes," replied Brady. If Stacy questions you if you met with me, you will tell her "No" you decided to go shopping at the mall instead." I understand."Neil sat back and went over his instructions in his mind, making sure that he had not forgotten anything. When he was sure that he had covered all the bases but one he told her."Okay Cindy that's enough about work." Okay" Cindy said still looking straight ahead."Do you have a boyfriend?" Yes." Do you have sex with him?" Yes." Very good, for the rest of the time you. Jake gave me a book to read and asked me to come back and talk to him about it when I finish it. I did and I have just told Jake that I grok that. Jake smiles and says something to the effect that I now understand we are all living in a world of misperception. Ok, yes, I do get that, but how does that make anything better? And anyway, where are all these weird books coming from? I mean ever since Jake found that first weird book in the Philippines it seems like he is reliving a past life. It.
