Ever since I was a chubby,little ten year old, Brandon would spend the night at my house and I would follow him like a hopeless puppy dog. He was so f...nny and kind, it was hard for me to stay away. Avery, my brother, had always been really protective of me. He was a good brother and was always very aware of what was going on in my life. I couldnt imagine how he felt when he saw his best friend kiss me like that. I didnt get the chance to talk to my brother about the kiss until much later that. " Well, I don't think you're up to cows yet. You've got lots of land you could plant, but that takes a lot of work to maintain." What would you do if the land was yours?" I'd plant the whole thing. Put in some alfalfa on most of it. I'd still plant the acre of corn and potato's, maybe twice that. Then hire a couple of boys to help at harvest time. That's one of the few things they're good for (except my brother)."Lilly was quiet for a moment, thinking. Then she asked: "Would all that work pay. It varies enormously. Some people may sleep after only a century of life others go on for centuries and never hibernate. There are no fast rules in this.”“And how long do they hibernate for?”“Again there is no simple answer. It may vary from a few months to several years. There are records of people in a hibernatory state for over a century.”Over a century Sebastian!” Jennifer exclaimed “Surely that is impossible! How could they possibly stay alive?” Rachel answered, “Jenny there’s another good. "I'm sorry, Larry. I'll make sure you get to know everything you need to know. It's just— Aw, fuck it." Damn, she really was getting a little foul-mouthed, wasn't she? Well, I could sympathize; stress can be tough to handle. And when somebody's just tried to kill you and you find out you're going to be laid up for a pretty long time with no guarantees about even the long-term outcome, and meantime you're just a disembodied voice that only one person can hear, yeah, I could see how all that.
