~O~While he appreciated that he had a place to live, Jackson dreaded goingback to the manor as what really was the point. Lindsay was gone and theplac... was going to be empty and lonely without her.As he walked up the hill he noticed a couple of construction truckscoming from the direction of the manor. As they came closer he noticedthat they read Brown Construction on them."Brown construction?" thought Jackson. "What the hell."As the truck slowed down, one of the construction workers poked his. From what he’d seen of the ship, it was decades if not centuries ahead of anything NASA or the Russians could have build. He was as certain that this child had come from another world as he was of the fact that his wife intended to keep it as her own. They’d tried to have a child for years, with no success and after two decades of praying, it was obvious that Martha saw this all as a gift from God.“Maybe it is a gift,” Jonathan thought as he looked down from the empty sky. Probably the greatest. Each plant had been amply sprayed as it was set in its place and what was left in the second bottle, was placed at the rearmost end of the truck as Vance climbed out."If the lilies start to look wilted at all on the trip, pull over and juice them up." Instructed Jack. "You will probably be back in three hours." Said Jack, as he handed Karen the key to the truck. Karen was thinking, maybe two hours.As both men retreated to the coolness of the flower shop, Karen boosted herself up into the truck.. I was used to straddling multiple worlds. And as I fell asleep in the large leather chair next to the bed, I wondered how I would get my usual “win-win” out of this situation. I began dreaming almost immediately.An hour later, “Right,” Angus said, “I see that you really don’t need me.”His voice startled me awake. He stood there, along with Velvel, dripping rain water all over the wood floor and part of the area rug. I never knew a dog could grin. “I was asleep,” I replied while trying to.
