. on the princess line of the Love Boat!Its late in January, the moon is full, but there is a strange fog covering the land... as we are moored just o...f the coast of Bermuda...You are standing on the upper rear deck, all alone, looking out into the fog... when you hear the sound of a lonesome haunting saxaphone...You look radiant under the full moon in your silky, slinky, red button down dress which just seems to flow as part of your own body...You don't hear my approach... as I come up behind. But a lightning bolt ... Could I outrun that?I moved, jumping away to relative safety. The bold grazed my feet, but I felt nothing more than very hot shoes.Maelstrom found me. "You are fast. The rumors about you are true then. Speed, strength, and who knows what else." I'm loaded with surprises," I said standing up. "Why not come over and find out what?"He shook his head. "No. I have other plans for tonight. You are merely a distraction at best." You can't hit me with lightning," I retorted.. "She giggled a little as we made our way to the basement. "Can I ask you something?" Of course." I don't want to be rude, its just that. Well.."Now I was intrigued, "It's alright, ask away." Well your beard is so gray but you don't look very old." she paused and kind of caught her breath. "How old are you, I'm 37 not that that's relevant but I was just curious." It's fine, I get that a lot. Actually I was 47 last year. Which side of the basement do you think the system is on?"That kind of shook. "Probably not, well, sit down Lois," I suggested.She sat at the table, opened her coffee then spoke again, "You know I was one of the nurses those gangsters threatened. I was terrified. I almost quit the clinic that day. Then when Jeff's dad sent your skinny ass over, I was really terrified. I can still remember the sight of you sitting in that chair in our back hall. Then I remember the smell of gun powder and our problems went away. I guess I stopped to say thank you, I never got the chance.
