Two Steps Back

"Afternoon, Mrs. Stuart." nodded Verne to the older porcupine entering the room.

"Mom! I, uh, oh, but, Merai, and...."

"Quinn," she began "Don't be hard on him, please, how long have you worked together? How long have you been friends?"

Quinn looked down. He couldn't look Verne or his mother in the eye.

"Don't be so depressed, son, there's someone else here to see you, and I don't think you want to disappoint her!"

Quinn looked up at the door framed, smiling stood Merai. His eyes grew as big as saucers. Then his face darkened. "Merai, what are you doing here?" he said flatly.

"To see y

What The!??!

Quinn's heart leapt into his throat (fighting with the trach-tube for space) at the sound of a girl's voice .

Verne stepped aside and turned around to see who it was.

They both boggled at what they saw silhouetted in the doorway.

She stood there, a clip-board replete with notes folded into her paws, held demurely in front of her, but that was the only demure thing about her.

"V-Verne, did you come up with this idea?"

Quinn's heart rate monitor spiked and his blood pressure increased to impressive levels. Again, blood began to trickle from his snout.

All Verne could do was stand and stare dumbfo

Convalescence

Kadie's engine purred as Merai turned onto the parkway. Pittsburgh was unusual, in that the city was nestled in a hilly river valley. Most towns fade away as one leaves, not so with the steel city. One tunnel, and the metropolis disappeared from view. Soon she saw the Monroeville turnpike exit. Kadie's engine cranked up a notch as she merged with the faster interstate traffic. The old car seemed eager to reach its new destination.

Quinn lay back in the hospital bed. They'd moved him from the intensive care ward once he'd regained consciousness. He felt so tired and drained. He thought about

Now Departing...

"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go"

"Leaving On A Jet Plane"

Brilliant white light assaulted Quinn's eyes, he had no idea where he was. Something dimmed the light above him, slowly a

The Rest of the Story

The pit bull complied, immediately dropping to the ground, but he forgot to let go of Merai. The additional pressure of his weight on top of her forced her quills the rest of the way through the wool coat. Gron yipped and bounced off Merai as her sharp quills peppered his front.

"Get off me you jerk!" Merai kicked Gron hard and low for good measure.

Gron decided that this was not indeed the happy feeling he had desired, as the heel of Merai's boot dug deeply into his more gelatinous areas. The pit bull became a large ball fighting hard against nausea.

Trakkz fought to keep his balance,

I Know What you did Last Night!

Chriss performed her morning rounds when she heard the frightened yelping coming from the child's room. She quickly ducked into the door to find the small chihuahua boy yelping in his sleep. His tossing had thrown his covers off and he shivered in chill. Gently, she pulled the cover back over the little boy, his shivering stopped and he opened his eyes, looking around worriedly.

"How's our little hero today?" she said soothingly.

"Am I dead?" he asked

"No!" she giggled, "Look you have visitors!" the poodle stepped aside, and three figures entered the doorway, Jose recogniz

Photography / Transportation

I was originally goint to make this a "picture" hanging on the horribly empty wall in "Dad, I Stink" But both Spacewolfomega and I agreed that it detracted from the overall theme of the picture, but he appreciated the humor and suggested that I post it as a photo, so here it is.

The car is kind of a work in progress for me, I bought it from a friend who bought it from a friend who inherited it from his uncle. The price of the car went to put a tombstone on the man's grave. I've done a fair amount of mechanical work to get her back into shape. I should probably post a "before" pic or two. Maaco did a wonderful job on reapinting her in that beautiful Wedgewood Blue metallic. Gruber Reuphoulstry of Harrisburg, Pa re-did the vinyl top, and the front seats which were shredded from use. The rims I scavanged from a U-Pull-it boneyard, sandblasted and repainted myself. The headliner I also re-did myself, scavenging a new headboard from a newer car of the same era. I replaced the rubber door and trunk seals, and installed new fiberglass tail fins to replace the original disintegrating rubber ones. Of course I love her dress whites! =^^= I'll drive her to school periodically to show the kids what a Real Car was. (Not too often, now that gas doubled in price!

)

*Sigh*

To return once to that wonderful time, when cars wre cars and gas mileage was irrelevant!
