There are not going to be any more deliveries of food or gas either. All that is over. Most people are dead.“At some point, you will need or have to...learn a useful skill or you will have trouble living. Have you thought about what happens when you run out of gasoline or when the food in the stores runs out?”They both looked at me strangely though I thought that the driver might have a glimmer.“There will be a community meeting in a few days, please plan on attending. It will be important.. Even that showed as much leg and breast in its own way asthis outfit. So I felt trapped. I looked over at Annette again, wishingI could wear something more casual like her. It seemed so unfair. I wasso new at dressing like a woman, and all my friends and Dani seemed towant me to dress like I was an experienced female. Going to the reunionwas stressful enough on its own, but because of my outfit, I was goingto have to be careful how I walked, sat, and moved at all times. Justmoving in front of. Because the nextmorning..."Heather! Brittany! Time to get up! School bus will be here in an hour!"The woman's voice didn't sound like my clock radio, nor was it theexpected alarm of a wind-up clock.Heather had certainly been on my mind, but who was Brittany? Next to mein bed, someone stirred and sat up, stretching. It was definitelyHeather. I knew that cute face and that blonde hair from my dreams.Waking up in bed with her should have had me unbelievably horny, but Ifelt...nothing. Not even. " I always thought you would have come to find me seasons ago after we both left Northfields. I waited for you for seasons, but you never came," said Andrea quietly."It was always supposed to be the two of US who ended up together, but you never came for me. Never. No man was ever good enough next to you, but I waited. And I always thought, no prayed, that one day you would come to get me and tell me I was forgiven. Then we would then be together like we were always meant to be," whispered.
