My odds of surviving this debacle still weren't good, but assuming I had a tomorrow (or even more unlikely a day or two after that) there were a few t...ings here I'd want again someday ... assuming this place didn't get burned down to the coral bedrock!A small album of family photos was packed first, then a few of my favorite t-shirts and other clothes items (nothing fancy), but for the most part, most of my two boxes of salvage were from the kitchen including my favorite cookware, baking pans. Mighty technical folk, these modern ranchers.We were getting optimistic. I know, I know. Hubris. Setting myself up for a fall. We thought we had everything covered, moving the remaining 6,000 or so souls from Laramie to Cheyenne. Bullshit. Our goddamned bunch of rowdies discovered the Laramie airport and a couple of 'em knew how to fly. At least one knew rotary. Remember those four idiots that didn't get pureed on the first attack at my place? Well, they had big mouths. I got trick-or-treaters. Yet, his familiar toothpasty kisses had an odd way of saying ‘I love you’ like no other words. Two years was too soon. ‘We can try new things in bed,’ she had offered, when he didn’t kiss her like that anymore. She went to the lingerie store and bought a few strange things she’d never considered before. Thongs. Belts. Knee high socks. Ruffled feathery god-knows-whats! No more of those granny undies for her, anymore! Anything for more toothpasty kisses! But nothing seemed to break the spell. He. Sanyog se ghar pe bhi koi nahi tha us din.Usko maine milne ka thikana bataya aur wo wahan taka a gayi.Main usko ghar pe laya aur darwaje band kar diye. Phir hum dono ander ke bedroom me chale gaye. Hum dono turant hi ek dusre se puri tarah lipat gaye jaise kisi ne fevicol lagakar chipka diya ho.Ye hum dono ka pahla shparsh tha. Main uske gulabi hoth ko chumne laga aur usne bhi chumna shuru kar diya. Yun lag raha tha jaise hum dono na jane kitne janmo ke pyase ho. Uske hoth ko chuste hue main.
