That meant I had to help them past their grief while trying to get through mine at the same time, and not letting the grieving overwhelm us.I found my...self hating Anchorage, and by extension, the whole state of Alaska. My in-laws lived there, and I had an amazing relationship with them, but there were just too many memories there—memories of places Sharon and I had gone, and things we’d done together.Like wounded animals, seeking their burrows to heal from injuries, my children and I moved home. We all laughed until we realized that Brandon wasn’t kidding. Actually, it didn’t make sense that we couldn’t just walk around with nothing on, since we all were here together. We agreed that if that would happen, no questions asked, after all, it’s not like we all hadn’t seen each other naked or more for that fact.At that moment we all noticed something for the first time. During the remodeling, they had left the hallway clock on the area above the main entrance. We looked at the time and. Bench ... easel ... bondage ... thing. Behind me were several dozen members of the local community on uncomfortable little folding chairs.I'd come to the event knowing I was going to see Tina perform; I hadn't realized how much audience participation was going to be expected of me."You look pretty pleased with yourself," I said to Tina. "You and Emily really set me up." You gonna punish me?" she teased."As a matter of fact, I am," I answered, taking hold of one of her ankles, and lifting it. There'd been a lot of shit to deal with yesterday. I stretched and stepped out into the hallway. The twins weren't up yet, from the sounds of things, so I took a morning piss, brushed my teeth, and went into the kitchen."Alandra..." Pa began, then looking up from his morning coffee; "where are your clothes?" Oh!" I hadn't even noticed I was nude. Fuck it I figured, "I dunno, what's the point?" Well you should consider putting something on." He said."Take your pills Pa." I went over and kissed.
