My pet had been very bad today. She was taking the day off from her internet professions and I was going into work. She begged and pleaded with me to stay home with her but I said I couldn't, and went to work. I hadn't been at my desk for five minutes before my phone went off. I checked it, and it was a picture that my pet, Rebekah, sent me seemingly in retaliation for not staying home.

It is Saturday, mid-morning.
My cellphone rings, I pick it up and see that it is my answering service. I take the call.
"Yes, speaking...What are the symptoms?"...looking for a pen and paper.
"What is her number?...OK. Thanks."

I am asleep. Then, suddenly, I am awake.
I can feel him. Standing there in the dark corner of the room. I can't see him, I only know he's there. Did he wake me?

Mark was looking over on his girlfriend Lisa sitting next to him in the car. It had been a terribly long drive and Lisa had slept most of the way. They had met in class economy class in the fall and they hooked up almost straight away and had been together all through the school year. With college taking a break for the summer they were both going to go home for the summer and they decided it would be a good time to meet each other's families. After nearly 7 hours of driving Mark was dead tired but they were soon at Lisa's parents' home and he knew he would need to make a good first impression.

Becky was sitting on the edge of the dresser with her arms folded in front and a scowl on her face.
"I don't understand why you won't go. You love Buckingham's Ale House. She said in a pleading tone.
"I'm just not up for it, that's all, I'm...ah, little under the weather." I said very weakly.
Buckingham's represented an old way of life that no longer existed for me.
