Howard yelled up OK! Then we heard her walk across the floor to the stairs going up, her steps fading. Howard reached under his bed pulling out a stack of porn mags. There were OUI, Playboy, Hustler, some others I had never seen called Porno, Cum, Club and one called Swingers World Magazine.. But when his thieving was completed and he returned to where he had thrown the apples, none of them were to be found!
