06.08 What a Thursday! I thought it would be like any other day. My Husband Steve would come home and eat his dinner, watch som... TV, and go to bed, so he can get up at 5am for work. When he did not come home at his normal time I was pacing by the window worried about where he was. Finally, I hear the truck door shut and here comes my Steve with a case of beer and a sly little smile on his face and right behind him was his childhood friend Mike. I sat in the front seat with Mrs. Connor for the ride over to my house, answering her questions with short replies of my own. Brenda was barely civil answering her mother's questions, and finally told her she didn't wish to talk about it. It, in this instance, apparently meant everything.I didn't go to any more tennis sessions with Brenda for the rest of that week. I half expected her to phone me or else see me at the club, but I felt that she was the one that had gotten angry at me when I. There was no need for me to be so wound up, with so much pent-up anger. It wasn’t healthy. It was time to make amends.A cool shower helped before I headed back downstairs for dinner. It was awkward seeing Anna in a tee shirt with no bra, I did my best not to look. It was impossible to look Jenny in the eyes, and I also felt the need to avoid Haley’s look. While I felt bad what I did to Jenny, it was towards Haley that I felt like the biggest shitwad. I was her older brother, I knew she looked. Some gods took interest in some of these creatures and blessed them with their power. That's how cratures such as elves and lizardfolk came to be. And when humans saw themselves missing the blessings of the Gods, they, too, wished for something to protect them.But what their wish created was different.Eventually, the Gods left the material plane in order to indirectly watch over the world. The planet's creatures are now alone. Kingdoms have risen and fallen, races have gone extint and others.
