The clover was filled in and the grasses were up. It was time for the beef and the deer to be shipped in.This is how I spent most days.4:00 get up, ge... dressed and watch the garden for critters until dawn.6:00 have breakfast, feed the dogs, take care of the chickens.7:00 wake up the kids and get them going.8:00 have a cup of coffee and a pastry. Read the paper online.10:00 watch the kids. Stop the end of the world. What a couple of drama queens!12:00 feed the kids lunch and eat myself. Clean. People were everywhere, all sizes, shapes, ages, the little tents were filled with sellers trying to move some wares. Noisy, hot, and I wanted a soda. I saw the woman standing at the board they were using for a counter, she had one of those huge pink cotton candy things in one hand and was trying to fumble in her purse with the other. I saw the bill slip out and flutter down to the ground, just as she turned and began to walk away. ‘Miss?’ I called out to her but she kept walking, obviously not. "Took you long enough, Sue." Don't start, Mister. I only came in here to humor you." All right, then. Let's find our way out."They walked down the corridors, glancing occasionally at the mirrors. These were far beyond any funhouse mirror, Harry had ever seen. Some did just make them look short or fat, but others seemed to change them completely. Harry and Sue saw themselves as children, as an elderly Black couple, even as a Chinese woman and a young girl, who could only be her daughter, in. I was smiling, but that would be anatural reaction. It had to be Kathy, too; nobody else was that tall. After a few seconds, I heard Debbie's voice, directly above my ear,whispering, "Lover?" *Wrong place,* I thought. I should have heard her from in front. Someone stroked my face. "Nnnnnn," I said happily, and slid an arm over Kathy's waist. Theblanket was only covering her halfway, which was good for what I wasgonna do. I slid my hand down her back, into her underwear. .
