Extending downward from the ceiling, into the center was a large platform, complete with hooks, loops, ropes and hanging satin cloth. A lone man was s...read out in the middle of it. His hands and legs stretched wide at his sides, and they tensed under the tightly bound ropes. Tied against the platform and hanging from about twenty-five feet in the air, the man’s body faced the floor. One woman in all white leather and lace flew outside the platform! I checked for something holding her, or. With that out of the way, I was ready for something to eat."When do you think you will go back to school," Mum asked while I ate.That was something I hadn't thought about. "Next week I suppose." The thought of facing my school friends filled me with dread. More silly questions, 'how are you feeling Sheryl', or worse still, 'you'll get over it'. The most insidious of all will be the avoidance from those who didn't know what to say. To those, I may just as well have contracted leprosy.One day. The two exchanged a few words, then Superwoman picked himup and they flew off to an encounter with a bizarre looking individual,the right half of whose body was identical to Superwoman's - except forthe green skin - and the left half of which was identical to the bat-man's. No sooner had this figure appeared than there was a blue flash,the screen went blank, and smoke started pouring from the back of thetime telescope."Oops!" said Claire, quickly blowing out the small fire with her. I wanted more than anything for his safety, but if I wasn't with him there really wasn't a thing I could do for him."I just want for your safety, to know that you WILL come home to me." I sobbed once more. A soft chuckle escaped his lips. "The worst that could happen to me is stubbing my toe." He smiled and pulled me in for a passionate kiss. Our lips crashed hard against one anothers. The sweet scent of his skin intoxicated my brain, and I melted into his body. He held me up, still kissing.
