Spending money

Oh bitty is in town so I is spending money. She lets me do it too hee hee. 42" Plasma, new solid cherry bookshelf, food, cloths, etc.

Fun times.

I miss my bitty all the time.

I am bored at work right now. I really have nothing to do. So let me tell you a story.

A man walked. Alone through a dark forest in the middle of what is now called the Rocky Mountains. The forest was dark, cold. The spray of a nearby water fall causing the air temperature to drop. There was nothing there.

The man was alone, and lonely. No one was around. Not for thousands of miles. The moon was the only light. Bringing with it shadows and eyes. Eyes of prey and the preying. Spear in hand the man walked cautiously from shadow to shadow. Careful not to disturb the foliage that blanketed the ground.

He walked for what seemed like hours. When he could go no farther he gazed at his surroundings. The waterfall bubbling to his side, a ring of trees, soft mulch, mushrooms growing.... and eyes... invisible but he could feel them.

The moon went behind a cloud. The wind picked up as the darkness covered the area. Then, all that was left was the eyes. The man new his life was forfeit. He tried to escape but he could not hope to outrun the predator.

The wind picked up as the predator closed in for the kill. The man backed off, spear forward and set. His heart pounded in his ears. Back, and back and back.

The predator leaped. Time slowed. The man could see all that his life was and would have been.

The ground fell beneath his feet. Flowing like a waterfall. Down and down.
