“Wait.” Connor looked from Debbie to Dale. “If I have any kind of virus, then the radiation, or whatever, given off by this clown,” he gestured to the top bunk where Dale had hidden himself under a blanket, “will be killed along with me?” Dale’s breath was quickening.

Connor had to tear his eyes away from Debbie’s smile – and her more distracting assets – when Dale started whooping like a banshee on heat.

Did I mention that?” “You mentioned that you were going … Continue reading ♠ Welcome home (sanitarium) ♠

♠ Bandaged knees ♠

“I see you haven’t changed at all.” Connor wasn’t used to being smacked around by women he didn’t know. Not before dinner, maybe a couple of drinks.
