What do you make of that, my dears?” I introduced the women to Mom.“Well, well, I hoped to get to see at least one of your parents, and considerin...g that your father is no longer around, well, that left your stepmother, who I honestly didn’t know that well. I knew that she wasn’t your birth mom, of course. But, honestly, Phil, what the hell ... that’s one hell of a shocker! Why didn’t you tell me that you’re the son of an immortal goddess?” Heather smiled as she watched me screw my own. In the strictest sense of the word, I am. That is to say that anyone who commits a rape at any time in their life is a rapist. It's like the old joke. Build a thousand bridges, they don't call you "Joe the Bridge Builder," Raise three strong boys, they don't call you "Joe the Father," but you fuck one sheep...Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I didn't go into Ellen's room with rape in my heart. I was trying to see her naked and maybe you don't see the difference, but it's a pretty big. I'd have to do something with it and Melody may not live through it," he continued completely deadpanned."You think pretty highly of yourself don't you Mr..." Malinda's eyes blazed."Mandy," Melody interrupted taking her arm. "He's teasing you," she said glancing at him trying to frown. Then she added just as dryly, "I think I'd live through it. He's the one that might have a problem."Marlin snorted."How about we do this," she continued. "Marlin promises to help you control your Talent and won't. "Before I give you the message I want to tell you some rules. Number one, I am not here to explain any of God's mysteries. Number two, I am not here to issue any further instructions from God. Look at me, do you see any stone tablets, scrolls or even a Fax. Nope. Number three, along the same lines, I will not tell you which, if any, religion is the Proper way to worship God. He has already told you what He wants."Zzerstor looked at me like he was waiting for me to agree. It was difficult to see.
