Well, as I slowly started back up, my mother said “It is ok, keep going,” So I did… As I lay there beating off, staring at her, she started to g...ab her own breast and massage her own clit. I kept going until I came (which wasn’t long after) She actually came over and licked it up. I was surprised, shocked even made me harder. She smiled and left the room. About, maybe a week later there was this huge thunder storm, I’m not scared of the lightning, by no means at all, but where my room was. Temperatures tomorrow… I turned down the volume and absorbed the news. The fire season was about to end, and with it my summer job. I was ready to come down. My hoped-for period of reflection and regrouping had turned into long days of lonely yearning, and I had no more answers to life’s questions than I’d had in June, only more questions. Out of habit I scanned the surrounding territory for plumes of smoke. Nothing on the ridge to the east where I’d reported several lightning strikes the night. I got so stressed out, I started crying. She took me in her arms, comforting me like the good friend she is, listening to my evasive lies how I was so pressured by being out of a job for so long. I went on about how my life was such a failure in every regard. How I not had been able to unfold the potential my university degree offered me like she had done. How the only thing which I had going in my favor and had taken for granted, my health, was now threatened and put in question by this global. You’ll be out of here soon and then you’ll see all your sisters. They’re going to throw a big party for you when you move into your chambers upstairs so that’s something to look forward to isn’t it? Then you’ll be able to see Julie as well! So chin up my sweet! Life’s not all that bad!”“Oh Rachel! It won’t seem the same without you here!”“You’ll be just fine honey! Sebastian will look after you. Now give me a big kiss and let me go. I have to report to the Lady before I take off back home.” So.
