"Don't forget to thank Angus." Terry hauled up his worn trousers and lumbered away, behind the building. He moved faster than I would imagined.I didn'... call the police. I have a cheap, old cell phone, but I hated the though of touching it. I wanted my life back. I went into work, late, much later than the day before. Melissa, my boss, walked up to my cubicle sipping on her coffee. "Out job hunting, this morning, Ruby?" No. Of course not." Good. You look like shit." She took her coffee back to. Not realizing she had only been in the room with him for less than a minute, her thoughts had already progressed as if she had read the whole book. She began much earlier on imagining him in full form out of the pool and what he might look like. His pale musculature showing a male art form she was unfamiliar with. Sure she had seen some of the young Cambodian boys swimming at the local waterhole, but she had seen him standing in clothing, and knew there was much more to him. But did he find her. . but no longer adults. Every adult in the town had been turnedback into a child, most of them not seeming to remember anything everbeing different. Of course it was assumed that an Avatar was at fault,but no one ever saw the Avatar who was supposedly responsible.Jennings set the picture down and tapped it with his finger. "I believethat this girl is the Avatar responsible for Crawford." No..." I gasped, wondering how such a cute looking little girl couldhave had anything to do with something. One day out of the blue I received a message saying he was traveling back to the marine base from a trip home and he could make a slight adjustment in his travel plans. He asked if I could arrange to meet him in a motel nearby to where I live. It would make possible the meeting we had so often discussed when chatting online. I quickly agreed. He asked for some motel information near me and I responded with information on two motels that were nice but not high priced. He said he would message me.
