It was the day I took off work early to get some work done at home. When I got home I was expecting to be alone. My 10 year old was at a friend’s ev...ry day after school and my 14 year old son was supposed to be at homework help that day after school. Needless to say I was surprised when I passed my sons room.I saw them before they saw me. I saw my son, a gangly athlete who was well toned for his age, sitting on the edge of his bed with his pants at his knees and cock standing straight up. His. And for the first time in my life I thought it had a chance of actually happening.Before leaving the funeral home, I had made it quite clear that he should sell off the empty lot on the other side on my mother. I would most definitely not be wanting or needing it. I passed on providing long-term care for the gravesites as well, my mother was never much on flowers anyway and I didn't think I'd ever be returning here again. There was nothing left here that I desired to remember or feel. "Mmm, you are so ... resilient," Anna purred right before she reachedout and pressed her hands to James's bare chest. The man jerked inpain as the electricity raced through him, locking up all his musclesat once.The sight caused Iona to lash out in anger, creating a powerful crosswind to knock Anna away from James. Anna yelped in surprise as thesudden gust picked her off her feet and sent her flying. The yelpproved to be all that she had time for before she slammed into the farbasement wall. These devices were an example of the scant technology that the Brokers seemed willing to share, transparent containers about the size of a small jam jar that were equipped with a stasis field. The machinery was no larger than the lid of one such jar, situated beneath the container, and it could somehow bend space within the enclosure in order slow the passage of time. It meant that perishable items could be transported over great distances, or in this case, that specimens could be kept as fresh.
