Sweet sixteen. I had known I was lesbian or bi for a while, and at that time was part of a small group, just the four of us girls in the same year at ...school, who hung out together in school and out. Myself, Karen, Sue and Diane, known to various teachers as "Those Four", as in the phrase, "You want to watch those four". Okay, so we had a reputation for practical jokes and general playing around. As well as hanging round the Mall, we had all enjoyed female fun on a one-on-one basis with each. Secondly, stay safe! Mizuryu Kei Land, while not for all ages, is still a theme park and likes to maintain a happy and uplifting atmosphere, and nothing ruins that faster than unfortunate injuries! So please, follow all safety precautions, do not enter restricted areas, do not act recklessly on rides, follow the instructions of security, and do not fight with each other! Failure to comply may result in expulsion from the park.Thirdly, watch the stickers! Here at Mizuryu Kei Land, we understand. There was always the possibility that Ellie was now trapped and this would explain all the recent changes. There was one sure way to find out. He could dismantle the robot. The trouble is that meant drilling into the frame and as he was no longer sure that the robot was not his wife, that would mean drilling into flesh and that would be an appalling thing to have done. He shrank from that possibility. There had to be another way to distinguish between them. This was all stupid. The remote. He tried to immerse himself in the water, sitting. It came to his waist, and covered his legs. He washed over and over, even dunking his head, making sure that the stink of death was gone. Then he washed his clothes and the bones he'd brought with him.It wasn't until he stood up to let the wind dry him, that he realized he had nothing to put on except what he'd taken off. On the trail it wouldn't have mattered. He'd have just walked naked back to camp, letting the air dry him, and put on clean.
