They were lost. They were alone. They were seeking answers.As my faculties returned, I suddenly felt so alone myself. I have been connected to a na...o network for so long, the sudden disconnect was unsettling. I began to type. For whatever reason, the nanobots had no idea that they could be hacked from within. They offered no security systems at all. They were acting as if programmed for a purpose and would not stop until they achieved that purpose. There were not firewalls or sentries. "That would be utterly fantastic!" Caitie exclaimed. "I can see it now: Mom and I are taken into the surgical amphitheater. Before they anesthetize her, she gives me the finest kiss of my entire life. I'm just overwhelmed with the power of my mother's love for me. Then I watch as they put her under, open her up, and take out her failing heart."Then, if they will allow it, I would want them to operate on me without anesthesia. I would want to feel the scalpel cutting into my body and then feel. Yes, I experienced it all. Richard even stepped on my feet when wedanced. I tried dancing the chicken dance and the Macarena, slow dancingwith all the ushers. The only guy to really kiss me was David, and thatwas just a peck on the cheek. Richard didn't do anything that I didn'tthink inappropriate and I wasn't disappointed in that. Michelle's parentslooked at me long and hard sometimes, trying to figure out how they knewme, but I never told them, and I hope Michelle never does. That. The female hormones are very powerful in a little girl entering puberty and cause her to do whatever is necessary to get bred. I didnt know anything about hormones and desire at the time. Just that it felt so very nice and naughty. The fact that I knew it was naughty made it even more exciting. And I knew it was naughty. Every girl knows its naughty. And I also knew he would never tell on me. I dont know how I knew that but I did. Boys never tell. They just wanna screw. So Arty, now that he.
