There was a park on the other side of school grounds so they walked over there and sat on the picnic tables just talking and holding hands and kissing... They were so tied up in each other that didn’t realize that Jasmines mom showed up to pick her after cross country practice, which she didn’t attend due to sitting and talking and kissing stoner for so long after school. This practice continued for several weeks of her missing cross country practice and them meeting before and after school. Well. Mom, Im home. I called out, hoping for an answer to come from somewhere. It never did. I realized no one was home and so I grabbed a glass and poured cold milk, drinking it before taking a shower. I took a cold shower, hoping it would help cool down my body. It worked, until I got out of the shower. As I entered my room looking for pajamas to put on, I realized that my Mom was at her friends home and Dad was staying over at Grandmas home for the night in another city. It was really hot inside. I went to the bathroom and drained my bladder, without closing the door since to her it meant nothing to have someone watch such a normal physical need. I picked up the bottle and walked back to the bedside, she still lay asleep flat on her back as I had left her. Her hair a tangled mess strewn over the pillow like a dark halo, her mouth just barely open looked so perfect to kiss. Gazing down over her my eyes feasted again on her breasts, so firm they still rose from her ribs as if she were. Hundreds of faceless troops were conversing with each other. Joking and laughing, making rude gestures with their pliable blank mannequin like bodies. At the end of the hangar, lights came up upon a stage with a single microphone. Behind the microphone, a brilliant purple flag swayed, the insignia of the planet Bredon flashing all who saw. To the left of the troops a general took the stage. His unmarked body started to sprout clothes that resembled the United States Army green. A helmet popped.
