A roaring like a huge vacuum filled the room seconds before the walls swallowed him up into space. Zack felt his voice catch in his throat when he cal...ed out for his wife. He spun through the air until he was so dizzy he couldn't see. And just that fast things were calm and quiet again.A small group of people in assorted costumes wandered around the room they found themselves standing in all of a sudden. Both Zack and Lisa shook their heads at the almost instant change. Neither understood how. Em desperately tried to stay on her feet, her high heels skritching backwards, but there was something on the floor -- another one of them! Em felt sickly weightless, then crashed against wood and bodies.They seemed to come from everywhere. Em reached up to get free of the man who'd grabbed her, but more hands grabbed her arms, pulling and pinning them down. A heavy weight wrapped around her left leg; she felt a hand on her right ankle. Em bucked and kicked frantically; she couldn't open her. He mentioned he was looking forward to seeing a lot more of her. Shit, she drew my name. I walk down into the new ring with the sloppy mud in it. Brenda stepped forward and drew the next name, she drew Macy.Macy, crap, why her now, I was going to loose probably, and now I was also probably going to loose to Brandy the side bet. Oh well, it was not going to get any easier, I decided to try and make the most of it.Then my brother walk up to my corner, he leaned over and told me to remember last. It was like an epiphany. I started cleaningmyself up, cleaning each room of the house, tended to the lawn, theflowers and had dinner ready for Mandy when she came home. I felt like Iwas finally contributing. During my renewal I ordered some vitamins from aTV commercial. They promised revitalization of muscles, greater energy,better stamina, a feeling of wellness and they were all natural from therainforest in Africa. The company pushing the vitamins was South Africanand boasted testimonial.
