" Her Mom fainted. "Nah," she says, "that's okay. We're never going back to that restaurant anyway." "My mom told me if I ever saw a naked lady, I wou...d turn to stone, and I felt something getting hard, so I ran." "Because like all men, they won't stop to ask directions."It hadn't always been easy to not give it away these days, but for a number of reasons, she decided to wait until she met the one! Yes, all jokes aside about his name being Peter didn't matter to her at all. He was the one. He cursed traffic lights, seeming to be forever stuck on red, then finally reaching the college. No car, he cursed the Gods, traffic and the world in general, then he saw her, a radiant smile just for him, as he stepped from the bus. She greeted him with the time he should be at her house at what her mother had planned for dinner. Once again they walked like royalty into the school, he was glad that those he had acknowledged yesterday looked hopefully in his direction, he nodded and said ‘Hi’. .. Here it comes...."Yes daddy" I reply trying to sound as miserable as possible, but to no avail. He continues..."Honey your mother won't be back for a few days from her business trip and unfortunately an old school friend of mine passed. And I know you are almost seventeen, but your mother and I feel it best that you come with me for the calling hours and funeral." No biggie I think to myself... Perhaps a bit prematurely... As I think this he continues..."The funeral is in Nevada three days. "I flipped the rock with the chisel. "I'd noticed." Wasted words, she wasn't paying attention.The stone had a strange glowing orange design underneath it. She studied it closely, without touching either the sigil or the stone. "Shit! How the hell did my bastard brother learn to use that one? His balls are toast." Do I still need the chisel?" I asked."To deactivate the sigil, you moron. I'll tell you where and when."While she studied the sigil, I studied her. Six inches of very nice looking.
