My decisions turned out better than yours but it was only luck. So you keep your chin up. OK?”Liz wiped her eyes again as they left.“Thank you,”...she whispered. I thought she was talking to them until she turned and kissed me.“I didn’t do anything,” I said. “They looked at the facts and made their own decision. I can’t push people one way or the other. I’m too close to you for me to be objective.”Liz pulled my face down until our lips met again. She smelled of sweat mixed with her body lotion. We had even applied for admission to the same “A” School. We exchanged details of our history with each other. And so, throughout this course of time, we became the very best of friends. Hell, we were nearly inseparable. He and I helped each other through the grueling rigors of training, always making sure we both were inspection-ready. During our fifth week, Johnny was called out of our classroom. He didn't return to class. When I returned to the barracks, I found him sitting on the bottom. A flick of the creature’s finger and the shackles fell away. The girl recoiled slightly, pondering escape before remembering the creatures around her and what happened to those who tried to flee. She tried to shrink away instead, pointless as it was. ‘Leave her alone,’ the older man pleaded with her, his rugged face contorted in impotent desperation. ‘Take me instead. Do whatever you want to me, just leave her alone.’ Maylin weaved her magic carefully in her mind, fingers drawing runes and that. When I was done, I took a drink of water to kill some of my morning breath and returned to bed.“My turn.”Bambi rose and walked around the bed giving me a wonderful view of her behind as her cheeks moved up and down and left and right and forward and back all at the same time. She went into the bathroom but didn’t close the door. The sound of her making water and farting was not as unattractive as I had imagined mine would be, maybe because of the beautiful place they came from. I heard the.
