Let your body relax on its on for a few minutes. I will tell you when you may move again.? The soft baritone voice battered at my sensitive eardrums. ... Shocked beyond words I gasped with the pain now running through my body in wave after wave. When the cramps finally started to dissipate, I heard the disembodied voice speak once more. ?You may now move. Do not attempt to rise. You will be carried or drug as convenience allows?, the voice stated calmly. My trembling. What do you have to offer?"He replied, "I have lion ivories. The lion is fierce ... his teeth are deadly. A man who possessed a necklace with a lion ivory would have the strength and cunning of the lion."The chief said, "I don't know about that. Maybe I can find a man who needs the hunting skill of a lion. Such a man might have a daughter no one else wants, a hunchback or too tall. I can't promise that there is such a man in the band, but I will ask my mate to go see if there is such a one." I. I am at the front of the desk going over some last minute report. Is me and my second in command Sergio a tall almost 6Ft a bit round he has a stomach silver grey white male his the funny type. There is me Vanessa or Vee for short most call me Vee. Im about 5’2 about 125 to 135 I look fit and I am fit and healthy or I try to be on most of the occasions. I just about to start my shift as some our regular check in are coming in late to their unit and must check in at the desk. I’m behind Sergio. I was angry, terribly angry, cursing him out on the phone long-distance in an argument I could ill-afford. And so I devoted myself to the man I’d eventually marry, and separate from this year, and he married the woman he’d lived with for years. We kept on being friends. I became friends with his wife. He and my husband were never close, though, I always suspected that Steve sensed the muted sparks between me and Buddy. So when she dumped him this year, here we were. Again. Single. Back to.
