Finding my underwear I crawled into bed with my brother. A few minutes later Jerry came and woke us up. Dressing we went to the kitchen for breakfast.... After eating we goofed around the house for a while before Jerry took us to the park. After running around for a few hours we went home for lunch. We watched TV till dinner. After eating Jerry said to take our showers. When Kevin came out he said he was going to bed. When I was finished, I stepped out and dried. Looking around, my clothes were. Come on in.’ I walked into a hallway with polished wooden boards. The ceiling was high and the bedrooms were to the left and right of the passage. A combination of the shaded verandah, high ceilings and limestone construction gave the house a relatively cool feel. My host continued down the hall, past a lounge and dining area and into a kitchen that looked out on to small, but well maintained bush garden. An half-moon table was placed before a large plate glass window and sat there was a. . wan and indistinct, somehow. Most of his body was a suggestion, a distortion in the air, while the rest was made up mostly of pale orange flame. His core was bright red, but even that was faded compared to what you’d expect from a literal god of destruction.But, still ... did we manage to have an impact, somehow? In spite of everything? And, he chose the unburned section of arena to sit on... However, it seemed there was nothing to do so long as we remained bound. We were completely. I smile. I know this dance well, far too well, from the past.Walking up behind the one with his back to me I go to pass on his left while keeping a close eye on them. When I’m about a pace behind them the guy facing my way nods toward me, and the other speaks while making a fast and expansive arm movement with his left arm, his hand is in a fist like he’s about to backhand someone. Taking two very fast steps right at a forty-five degree angle I dart past both guys on the right side of the hall.
