I rested my head on her shoulder and sobbed."Do you have anyone I can call for you at all my dear?"I sobbed. "No, I have no one. I'm alone." Well, you...can't stay here all night. I have a spare bedroom where youcan stay for a couple of nights until we can get you sorted out, thatis if you would like. By the way, my name is Isabel. I'm always hereat the station looking for girls in trouble, and I try to give them abed for a night or two, to make sure they're safe from the sharks whoprey on girls. She works in an office and has been single for a while now. Last Tuesday, she was getting her groceries out of the trunk of her SUV. I was getting home at the same time and I saw her bending over and her big butt looked amazing in her tight short tan skirt. I couldn't help but admire her body. “Hi Betty!”, I said. “Can I help you with your groceries?”, hoping she would say yes. “Thanks Joe!”, she said without hesitation. “Now, I won't have to make two trips.”, she said happily. I was glad to. I understand if you don't really want to kiss me." Whitney, who told you you were ugly? I've never thought that once." I'm so tall. And I guess I dress like a boy. Nobody notices me." I do. And I'm sorry I don't pay more attention to you, girlfriend. I never thought having fourteen girlfriends would be such a problem." Serves you right." You want to know a secret? It's going to embarrass me and it might embarrass you, too." Tell me." These basketball jerseys are really long. I suppose because. I yell at the gulls who won’t quit mocking me. I yell at the sky above and the endless water. I yell into eternity. No one answers. I am thirsty. A walk along the beach until I find a stream. It is a small blue ribbon snaking out from the woods until its essence is swallowed by the sea. It gives up its very existence to merge with the sea. I envy it a moment. When I take a drink I try to pull some of its soul into myself. I feel stronger. The forest beckons. Many days pass. The gulls have.
