........and walked............and walked................and walked...Jonathan sighed and slumped against the wall. He had been walking for whathad to ...ave been an hour, and all he saw was darkness, rocks and moredarkness. He placed his face in his gloved hands; there was no dragon.They just wanted rid of him. He had been tricked. And he was so desperateto be a hero he fell for it.With another sigh, he stood up. Might as well head home. He placed hishand on the wall... wait... why did it feel so. In a few hours we had something resembling real plans. Then we spent some time putting together a bill of materials. By late that afternoon we had everything ready and before I went back home Erik promised to talk with his dad that night.The next day Erik called and said his dad thought the plans just might work. In fact he had looked over them, done some kind of analysis, and even gone out to examine the tree. He had said it looked like a sound design but because the tree limbs weren't stress. Her new fiancée was getting handshakes and one-armed 'bro hugs' from his compatriots as well."I could get a blowjob from her right there at the booth. All I need to do is ask." That's a hell of a way to treat a guy who just bought you a drink," I laughed. "You could at least tell me a lie that I might believe." I took another sip my drink and got up to leave. I'd had enough of this blowhard."You're right, my friend, that was rude of me. Stay just a bit longer," he implored. Again, he fiddled. I couldn't believe that I had actually gotten onto a plane and flown to another country to meet a man that I had only know through a chat program. Granted, the country in question occupied the same landmass as my own but still, I just did not do this sort of thing. It was completely out of character for me and I hadn't felt like I was on solid ground since I had finalized the arrangements for the flight.The worst part about the whole thing was that I knew this wouldn't lead anywhere. I knew.
