The air bites into your skin as you realize that you'r not clothed. You could've sworn you had clothes on at some point but you fail to recall. With l...ittle other option you begin to fumble around the surface you'r on to get a feel for its dimensions. As you searched your finger bumped into a small switch about the size of a thumb tack somewhere at your hip. Hoping that this switch could provide some sort of light you switch it on.Not nearly a half second after you activated the switch you are. Smith. You can think of me as god or the devil if you like but those arerather simplistic notions. The reality of existence is vastly complex,and I am the chaos of that complexity, and thusly I bring order to thecomplexity. As for what I am doing, I am here to give you a gift." A gift?"

You see, crazyunexplained things happen all the time in. There is no shame to have sexual things between a man and a woman. But there is between two men." Well you can forget it, Niko, 'cause while I'm here there still won't be any sex between a man and a woman." Shannon, even if we do not have actual 'sex' you could still help me so much. Please, Shannon. I beg you."He was looking really uncomfortable, and when Shannon's gaze moved from his face to his body she saw that he was covering his crotch."But, Nikolai, you're married, and you have. The school nursing job didn't pay very well. A roommate was a necessity for Amy to make ends meet.When she asked about me, I gave her a mixture of fact and fiction. I was an only child which was true. Both my parents dying in an auto accident from a drunk driver when I was nineteen was false. I never married was true."Growing up alone and losing your parents, it's no wonder you lived in a shell for so long," Amy sympathized.I regretted lying but the truth would only encourage her to tell me to.
