It was the last day of work forthe driver until fall, but she was not sad. When they had gotten tothe farm, Rachael had pulled out a bakery box with t...ree of Mike'snew cream puffs, the new Friday special at the Bread Barron. The busdriver had a look of ecstasy on her face as she finished the creamydelight, eaten while Rachael and Robert enjoyed theirs at the laneinto the farm. "I'm going to miss you kids," the driver said. "I haveto get the office to move me to a high school bus next year. That. You were put into medical after your identity crystal was read." Who knows that I came from an area behind the computer?" Seventeen Tandra saw you coming from the computer. After your memory was read, those people went into segregation." Good, I think the secret needs to be kept a bit longer. Give me a map of where I am in relation to the rest of the galaxy."I looked at the map and saw that I was about thirty six hundred light years from my last position. I got control of many of the sensors. At lunch when Razia came in with the children I was already seated at the table waiting for them. I pushed the sign reading ‘Reserved for Mr. and Mrs. Sahebji and family’ towards her, ‘See what did I tell you even the dining room staff thinks we are husband and wife’. ‘My God is everyone employed in this hotel stupid? She said getting irritated and muttered to herself, ‘I think I will have to do something about it’. My move to make her think about her marriage and chudai (fucking) had. Wanting. Waiting. It is almost painfully devoid of the raw emotions, the heady and intense passion of only hours before. Our blatant impulsivity has slipped quietly unnoticed into the languid tranquility of now. Despite the paradigm shift, I realize that nothing truly tangible has changed. I am beginning to suspect that the metamorphosis is mine alone. My eyes are open now: slowly, carefully, as if to test the temperature of the mid-spring tidal waters. The heaviness of our lack of rest compels.
