"Report!"One of the two network e-techs cleared her throat and began, "At 1:00 AM local time, we lost the internet, all of it, both the world and city...networks, all of it. The world loss is still a complete mystery. We think we understand the city loss, and hope to have that piece up by 4:00 AM, perhaps as early as 3:40 AM."The nine commanders stared at the e-tech, clearly displeased by the news."And the recovery for the world net?" asked the chairwoman. "When will that happen?"The e-tech just. She moved her eyes from my face to my half-hardened penis and back. "I don't think this is a good idea," she said as she bent down to retrieve the towel from the floor."All right, all right! Don't be upset." It not your fault. It isn't even mine. You know how men are. We have little or no control over our dicks. They seem to have a life of their own. It's strictly involuntary, a physical thing."Mom seemed annoyed that I was being so offhand about something that she found more than a little. " She turned back to the beasts.Nora frowned. "Gran, what is going on?"Her grandmother patted her arm. "I have a hunch my dear, these creatures look similar to a pet your mother had when she met your father." She nodded in the direction of the watching animals. "They are watching you and ignoring everyone else - why is that, do you think, when before they have attacked without warning?" Because I am my mother's daughter, and these animals were originally bred by her people?" Exactly, they must. Of course, because we weren’t very close to a nearby city, it would take at least eight hours for them to get here. So after thanking them, I hung up and suggested that we take the time to enjoy our surroundings. We really couldn’t have found a more perfect spot to run out of gas. There were trees with leaves changing colors with the season, a beautiful pond only about two-hundred feet into the pasture of trees. And the wind was blowing softly with a nice cool breeze, carrying the sweet scent.
