"What's your name?" she asked me very slowly."It won't do you any good," I said, wondering why the hell I'd never seen her around town. I mean the tow... just isn't big enough for her to have gone unnoticed."Why won't it?" she asked sassily."Because, I'm married," I said sadly. "And I'd never cheat on my wife no matter how gorgeous you are."She got the funniest smile on her face then and pointed straight down at her belt. At first I thought she was trying to get me to notice her ass until I saw. He ducked just in time. “Can we just play already?”As soon as we started to play, we realized that we had never been able to come up with very many good ideas.

Our pretense at being “mature” quickly dissolved as we quickly got into the Jr. High spirit.About 3 rounds into the game, my friend Ron dared me to kiss his girlfriend Leta. Leta had curly dark hair and an exotic beauty.. The hospital was on the other side of town in its own little complex. It was shared with the other small towns nearby and was more of a county hospital than a town hospital. They had already called Claire and she was almost hysterical as they wheeled me in. They took x-rays of my head and arms, since that's what hurt, and then put me in a large room with curtain walls next to Jake."I'm so sorry," he choked out, his face swollen and the remnants of dried blood on his nose and shirt, his right. I crawled into the air shaft that she’d excavated and punched through a thin cap of frost at the end and was instantly dazzled by blinding sunshine.“Alice, come here and take a look, you aren’t going to believe this,” I shouted over my shoulder as I emerged into the open air.The blizzard had passed us by, and the heavy overcast it left in its wake was riddled with expanding patches of brilliant blue sky. The sun had broken through the clouds at the center of the largest patch of sky and blazed.
