A creature of moods,the Beast can be warm, tender and loving or it can be spiteful, rough and brutal, feeding its primeval hunger without care or comp...ssion. Secret object of teenage wonder, of private experiment and adolescent discovery,the Beast is the doyen of delectable desire for wives and lovers or anonymous one night acquaintances. Once awakened, it is wild, unpredictable and difficult to control. It is demanding, it is hungry, it is a lion rampant, a colossus standing proud, straight. I had to stop. I got off my bike and asked if you needed help. You told me that your ‘car had just stopped and there was no one around to help. It’s getting dark and I am a bit afraid.’ I told you I would take a look for you and not to worry. I got off my bike and looked under the hood but at first I could see nothing that looked out of place. We looked at one another and felt a chemistry that could not be explained. You approached me and smiled. You asked me not to ‘leave you alone’ out there. I stepped out and raised my voice, "We are leaving the tram! Everyone move forward and use the emergency ladder!"Thirty minutes later, I was watching the last of the people following me climb onto the platform. I pushed through and headed up the ramp and looked out and around before I gestured to those following. I led them towards the outer edge of the city and hopefully the forest. A dozen armed constables suddenly came out of the buildings on each side.I relaxed and nodded to them and one. Once again, it was very peaceful and serene as we made our way silently under the starry sky. That near silence was soon broken by a slight shift in the wind which caused the main sail to flutter quite audibly. After about a minute, Mike left my side to go over by Nancy and address the situation. I really did not pay them much mind, as I was lost in the beauty and serenity of the night sky. Moments later, Mike returned. ‘I’ll make a sailor out of her yet,’ he stated with a laugh. He handed me.
