I don't know where she got that from but it was fine by me. I made Melissa a hot drink and we sat and talked about her problems. During this I almost ...forgot I was still dripping wet and that I was naked beneath my gown. Melissa asked if she was disturbing me as it was clear I had just showered and was still wet. I said it was fine and I was not in a hurry to go to bed so she was welcome to stay. I have to point out that Melissa is 25, she is blond, quite short at about 5'2". She is slim with. The wound was so bad the bugbear's hand was barely attached and totally useless. He had to grip his club with his left hand only.Screaming a war cry the bugbear stepped in again to attack swinging parallel to the ground at Keal's midsection. Keal turned with the swing pivoting in a circle as the club made contact moving with the force of the blow to minimize the amount of force the blow could deliver and allow Keal to remain within sword length of the bugbear.Keal followed through and struck. It was only then that Mary realised just how green the grass in the courtyard looked today, lush and green. Small flowers grew in the borders surrounding the courtyard, with the single concrete path that led from the main building to the platform.There were heavy footsteps in the passage way outside Mary’s cell, and heavy keys rattling as the door opened. Three men entered her cell, and walked over to where she was standing, still by the window staring at the platform. There was a crowd growing. It was about 10:00 PM when I shut off my computer for the night and got ready for bed. I have a laptop that I can use both at my office and at home — its so convenient! But I was 'on the floor' at my office at 9:00 the next morning, so I needed to get my full eight hours!I began to understand early the next morning that something strange was going on.It started while I was having my breakfast, before I'd even put my makeup on, when the doorbell rang.There at the door was my neighbor from three.
