They had found a match. The donor had flown in and his marrow had been harvested earlier in the day. It was a painful procedure, not like donating bl...ood or even a kidney. Hole after hole was drilled into his hips and the marrow sucked out. That part was at least done while he slept but the deep achy pain in his bones would last for days. Allison thanked him. Greg wanted to thank him but the donor preferred to remain anonymous. She had gone to Greg’s room to tell him that. He had shrugged, said. About 45 minutes later Iris was knocking at the back door, l asked her in for a coffee, Iris pulled out some sticky cakes to eat with our coffees.

Arlene unwrapped the perfectly fitted nylons he had put in the box. There were three pairs of them because the frigging things got fucked up so quickly with cat’s claws and the little sharp corners in the escalators and the hot and heavy action on a crowded subway train. She gave a quick gasp of pleasure and leaned over to plant her sweet lips on her brother’s cheek leaving a trace of her “Strawberry Fields” lipstick there to remain for all the girls on the subway to see and wonder who was. As I sat there, a delivery truck stopped in front of my house and the guy walked up and dropped off a package for me.

I don't even know if I should be getting this one." I said, realizing I hadn't ordered anything.The delivery man shrugged and walked back to his truck and drove off.I carried.
