One summer I noticed that she was taking a particular interest in me...my body that is. We didn't walk around nude by any means but it wasn't uncommon...for me to walk into the kitchen in my sleeping attire; boxer/briefs and a t-shirt. She always took notice of whatever bulge I was showing. That was usually on the weekends. During the week it wasn't uncommon for my wife to bring me a cup while I was still in bed or fresh out of the shower. Well my wife became addicted to opiods and we finally had. Beneath them was a dangerous mix of old equipment and loose boulders.I know they purchased a swimming pool not long after our arrival. I think my brother had shown great interest in those water filled pits.Years later my brother would nearly drown in a similar, larger, quarry hole. We learned about his many close calls during his funeral. He really did have 9 lives. I just wish he had found a way to have 10.Fire-flies (lightning bugs for others), the 4th of July, landing on the moon. All those. " What can I say, I'm good at faking it." At this the two girls, Alice and Amy, lost it and broke out in giggles. David stared at them, letting them know they weren't helping, but the effect was lost as he had a hard time resisting laughing himself."And just how dangerous is this disease supposed to be?" Benjamin asked."No one really knows. There have been a lot of deaths from it, but they don't know how many people have been exposed, so they have no statistics for what the survival rate is.. According to the flashes he was getting from his alternate self, it didn’t even have the anomaly studying Foundation he worked for in his world. However, the cave and surrounding landscape were the same as his world. Danny hiked three miles to the town which existed in both worlds. He got the feeling, mostly from the flashes, that the lands, population centers, and location names were the same as his world. That was not what made the world he came to different.In this world, humanity was more.
