'Baby I just hate it when you leave.'

  • 'Baby I just hate it when you leave.'
  • It was Putan's last gambit to keep his lover. He'd finally been vulnerable with her. Cried in front of her. He'd found a true friend in this woman, who was so different than him,
  • He sneaked some pomegranate seeds into Aliyah's breakfast porridge. Aliyah looked into her bowl frowning. "It's my heart," blurted out Putan, "I put my heart in your porridge."
  • Aliyah took a bite of her pomegranate porridge. "But it's cold, Putan. Cold, just like you." & she spat it out, digusted. Putan's desperation turned to rage & he shouted, "You will
  • learn to love pomegranates. No daughter of mine will live in sin." Turning to face the bookcase behind, he lifted a large heavy tome from above. Flipping to the center, he began to
  • somersault and slammed the tome onto the table. "So, daughter, as you can see, pomegranates are God's gift!" Ever since Dad's infomercial, "The Pom Diet," he showed off.
  • Emmaline cringed. Dad's "Pom Diet" infomercials were pulling in more bucks than "Insanity" but she wanted her own spotlight, as she had worked out the math for warp drive with just
  • a sharpened piece of charcoal and a camping towel. Emmaline wanted to tell her dad she could no longer push this health food fad anymore, space camp was calling!
  • But she kept her space camp dreams secret, pressurized, festering, until they finally manifested as a mutant astronaut hell-bent on murder, NASA-style. Her dad didn't expect to be
  • her first victim. Yet after years of feeling restricted, unable to wear her space suit and Moon Boots around the house, she finally lost it. "Sorry Pops, I'm off to Space Camp!"

    Thanks lucielucie! I'm a touch infatuated with this site right now. My friends and I used to play a game similar to this in high school, so it's all a little nostalgic. Thanks for the welcome - I'm so glad I discovered FS!
