" Okay, Mom," I said as I passed by her and made my way up the stairs to my room.I must have been gone for only about fifteen minutes before I heard h...r calling me back down to eat."Mmm. It smells good, Mom." I said as she put the roast down on the table."Thanks, honey." She replied as we both filled our plates.I was in the middle of taking a bite when Mom said, "So the school called me today."Hovering my fork in front of my mouth, I replied, "They did?" Yes, care to tell me why your grades are. I suddenly realized that Tommy had me by the short hairs. This was no good. What kind of a vacation is it when you’ve violated the trust of the one person you care most about in the whole wide world, then have to worry about the adultery (let’s call a spade a spade) being talked about by some stuck up little rich kid who thinks women like to be raped? I just didn’t need this aggravation. Darn it, I only wanted to come to the beach, read a few books, catch some rays, and relax. This had been. Daddy's friends were sitting on the couch and daddy was standing next to it. I walked over to him. Without hesitation, he took hold of my blouse and ripped the buttons off. He pulled it off my arms. He walked around the back of me. I felt his fingers grip my skirt and it was on the floor. He yanked my head back by my hair and guided me over to the bench.I climbed up on it as I positioned my body. Daddy strapped me down. My body was trembling. I was definitely scared but excited at that point.. As it drew nearer, a vast fleet of ships could be made out. A hodgepodge of designs, they were, but each was clearly bristling with weapons. Time speeded up as Pham watched the invading fleet enter the system. At first, it looked like the Chofri would win. Their technology was better, their ships faster, their shields stronger.Then the view zoomed in on a part of the enemy fleet that Pham had not noticed at first. These ships were systematically taking apart the outer planets of the Chofri'at.
