She didn’t mind, neither did I. We both sat next to each other laying on the wall of the tent. We dressed up and slept cosily.I woke up late afterno...n. Mom wasn’t around. I looked around in tent. She was outside probably. I felt horny the moment I thought about her. But first I decided to pee. As I head out of the tent, I see her sitting around. “I needa pee. Will be back in a minute” I waved her. She smiled. I could hear some rustling of leaves from behind while walking. I knew she could be. She had two kids, supposedly a dead husband and an ex-boyfriend. That was quite a bit of luggage there. A little bit about my past life, I was born and raised right here in this very house. My brother Bill was older than me and went to college. He was in management at the mill where pop worked. He told me to come and see him when I returned from the service and he’d help find me a job. Sue was my little sister. She was four years younger then me. When I went in the service, I was twenty and she. It didn’t really make sense but something about her made me want to really hope that we actually became friends. Twenty minutes can pass by very quickly when lost in thought. I walked into my house and dropped my book bag in the living room. The house was quiet. I was just brave enough after such a good day to face Ean. I had to do it then before I could think and reason it out. My bravery would die soon. Ean’s bedroom door was shut. I knocked, waited, and then slowly pried it open. Ean.

The thrill of his acquisition, however, was fleeting and so the next twenty-four months dragged by. The only shiny beacon in his existence lasted only one hour every month when Matty could sit across from Rex to recharge the inadequacy of his life. The pain of knowing that Rex still had two years to go and the uncertainty of what lay.
