I guess all married couples went through this, but not on this level or scale! I was almost sure that this was at the max-end of the unusual. Accordin...g to a message sent me via courier from my sister, my wife and I would be departing for the 'Gate of Demons', as it had become known.My wife was off studying spells in the library provided by Pejoru, the God of magic, and her family's patron God. I had been wondering about my last trip into the land of demons. I had seen no souls being tortured.. " You drive a hard bargain. I accept. When?" I'll let you know. It will be on my day off. This is great. I had to ask you in person. I knew you would agree."She got up to head back to the hospital. She was all giddy. She gave me a kiss goodbye and took off. I lay on the bed and shook my head in disbelief. What luck I had. I looked over to the clock and saw it was just after four. I closed my eyes and nodded out.About an hour later I woke feeling refreshed. I headed for the shower and proceeded. I hoped that they'd had a better break than we'd had. After a second cup of tea and some biscuits, I fired up my beautiful iMac and checked my e-mail. Lena busied herself with the unpacking and sorting out the washing; there were several pairs of knickers in need of a good wash. My inbox contained dozens of messages, with as usual, the now obligatory plethora of porn sites. After deleting most of them, as there were few of real interest, but there was one from Elaine, my cycling, bookshop. She smiled ear to ear as she dragged her sore muscles towards her bunk, looking forward to showering off the sweat and maybe watching the others do the same.“Ok flyer girl, shower time.” Vampire motioned her finger in a come here signal, standing buck naked at the entrance to the shower. Two of the other girls were already in the giant open shower with three or four nozzles pouring steaming water on them while they soaped up. She had a huge, very well done tattoo that covered half of her.
