I hope you're not shocked and disgusted by that. I would have misread you by a wide margin if you were."Charlie grinned. "No, I'm not shocked or disgu...ted. I came to the conclusion a long time ago that people are what they are. I suppose I started thinking along those lines when I became aware that my stepdad was such a homophobe. That alone was enough to get me thinking that it was a very wrong-headed attitude." They are a strange lot, aren't they? Look, since I've announced myself to you,. The newcomer came over and knelt before me, his head sitting almost a foot higher than mine.He pulled my hair back so I was forced to look up at him with sheer terror in my eyes. He spat in my face and laughed when I flinched. “I heard your asshole’s loose, slut.

But our control of it is sporadic. We can open it for only a few hours at a time, and it keeps moving in relation to the other universe.

No matter how many times I turn the handle, there's nothing coming out."She avoids looking at me directly. She knows how much this hurts me... still... For weeks after our last fight, I was stuck in an emotional funk. It didn't help that I had seen it coming for weeks and weeks prior, I had stuck it out, hoping to find something to turn things around. Instead, every time we talked, afterwards, I would find myself.
