I drove around Trenton aimlessly for an hour and didn’t even remember parking in the driveway. I sat stone-faced on the living room couch, waiting f...r Donna to come home from work. My mind was racing with every possible thought about my tour and what her reaction would be.Donna came in the kitchen door and saw me sitting, no expression on my face. I had that blank empty stare as if I’d received fatal news. In a way, it felt like I had died a little inside me. She knew something was wrong,. ......yes, that’s it ……..Now you can piss!”I had never peed in this position before, and I suspected there would be a certain lack of control, but, what the hell! I relaxed my bladder and began to feel a trickle of warmth run between my thighs. The trickle soon turned into a gush as I found myself enjoying this new experience of pissing freedom. The warm pee spread everywhere but I didn’t care. It came out of me like water out of one of those circular lawn sprinklers – between my arse cheeks,. She only lasted a few weeks.

Rory’s a good man and an important person in these parts. We all would be running out of feed about now if not. Those three and a half years had been rough on everybody, but now it was like another chapter of their lives had begun, and it was wonderful. ‘So Wes… when ya gonna catch up to us?’ He winked playfully as he motioned toward his wife and the baby as Caroline and the other women gushed over him. ‘I always thought ya’d be first ta be a daddy… now you’re runnin’ behind.’ Wesley chuckled and looked up as he set aside the silver buckle Caroline had gotten for him. He’d thank the woman when she wasn’t.
