The earliest a shuttle would be available would be the next day. In a fury, Emily was forced to take a room at the station’s, less than adequate hot...l. At least the meal she ordered at the station’s finest restaurant was tolerable, barely. The next morning Emily was the first passenger on the Folly’s shuttle.When Emily finally stormed into her office, Jessica was fearfully waiting for her. Jessica had learned about the various flight delays. Knowing Emily’s temper, Jessica knew that she would. She knew that what should have been a couple-hour journey would now take more than a whole day, but when she saw the price difference she would have to say yes.She ended up being surprised with how much she liked the bus ride. Free wifi, air conditioning (which was nice for the dead-of-summer trip across state lines) and room for her ample legs to stretch and feel at home. It wasn’t easy being 5’10 and being on a plane for a few hours at a time – something told her Alex knew that. He was always. Now I am strong. Now I wait in the shadows of the living room. Now I am strong. Now I see him walking through the kitchen towards me. Now I am strong. Now I see him reaching for the light switch for the living room. Now I am strong. Now is my time to strike. Now I am strong. Now I swing the bat with all my might. Now I am strong. Now I hear a crunch followed by a shrill scream. Now I am strong. Now I pull back and swing again and again. Now I am strong. Now I hear her yelling. Now I am. Well Steve and I didn’t want to start a scene so I sat down on the pedestal and a woman offered me a pipe and another a beer and things settled down. There were a couple of women washing kids in the back and we weren’t there long when a couple of Bahia came in those fancy robes of their’s and everybody got up and welcomed them. They both bowed and opened their robes to expose their breasts. Then everyone, Steve and I included, caressed their breasts gently touched their face and blessed them.
