It’s great as a business location. I think I’ll look west of there in Livermore or Pleasanton. It’s a more appealing location. At least there ar... some hills and features there.’ ‘How long do you think you’ll be there?’ my mother continued with her questioning. ‘I don’t know that either. Our legal firm in Oakland has applied for a work visa. They don’t think it will be a problem since we will be hiring and employing fifty people. It’s not like I’m taking someone’s job. As far as how long I’m. I was startled awake. It was light outside and morning I slowly thought. My eyes squinted and just then I recoiled in surprise. Paul was standing in our bedroom. Standing over the two of us. Julie stirred next to me. Paul looked directly at me and commanded…“Leave ! ”“Leave now.”“Leave now or you’re not gonna like what you see.”I stood up confused and was authoritatively pushed towards the doorway of our bedroom. Julie’s eyes now opened. Very quickly, as if in a single fluid movement,. His eyes were growinglarger, too. They were opening by themselves.He sobbed and whimpered in his new maidenly howls. The pain wasn'tsubsiding and his body's transformation wasn't getting any lessagonizing. But he could hear that the machine wasn't done, yet. Itgrowled louder, and the needles in his helmet were straight up stabbinghim repeatedly, at this point.He dug his nails into the arms of his chair as the pain scorches throughhis body. He struggled and wriggled in desperation, knowing. He told me about his feelings for other guys, and that he doesn't know what they are or what they came from. How they started or where they are leading. He started talking about how he has been fantasizing about other men, some of which include me, and I was SHOCKED. How could my partly homo phobic best friend be having these feelings and I never even had the clue they were there. I mean I knew he was checking me out in the showers, but I had thought that nothing would become of it... well.
