While I can normally go into great details with most of my dreams, I don't think I really can with the latest one I had! My last few dreams have always involved people from Twitter, even if I had never met them but it was always just 3 or 4 of them and no more. However last night was like a Superbowl of Twitter friends in my dream.
The gist of the dream was that we were all working together to either find something or someone, its not all clear really as nothing is ever mentioned throughout the dream and everyone seems to be working very hard at trying to do whatever it is we were doing!
@amylong was sitting on the floor in the hallway, with her back against the wall, next to her was @KeithAMusic on one side, @Juleser on the other and next to @Juleser was @Dakit, their heads down in some books, rifling through them. In the kitchen, at the breakfast counter, @_Murph & @Ray_keogh were doing the same thing, @tynanhooper was opposite them working on something on his laptop and just behind him at the large table was @Dublins98Dave who was working on some experiment or other with a lot of tubes, beakers and Bunsen burner boiling some liquid.
I walked into the sitting room and went over to the fireplace, there was a small statue on the mantel which, when moved to the left, turned the room into a super high tech computer lab just like from Spiderman & His Amazing Friends, if your not sure what the hell I am talking about then check out the intro to the cartoon from the 80s and you will see, also, the theme song was pretty cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQwNwQIY73U
I was about to start doing some work on the computer when @amylong rushed into the room telling me they found what we were looking for, she grabbed me and started running out into the garden with @KeithAMusic following us. We made our way over to the shed and the 3 of us got in. There is a keypad to the side of the shed door along with a hand print scanner, @amylong punched in a code while I put my hand down to have it scanned. 4 seconds and the floor started moving down like an elevator until we were underground in large laboratory.
We made our way over to one of the desks where @lorrainelarkin was tapping away at a computer, as we got closer she turned to us. She got up from her seat and told us to follow her. We were taken to a small room with a guitar in it, she said that if we used this newly modified guitar, it would give us the answer to what we were looking for. I asked her how it works and she said just like an ordinary guitar, you pick it up and play. @KeithAMusic picked up the guitar and studied it for a bit before getting it into position. He was about to play a chord when @lorrainelarkin quickly grabbed his hand warning him and us that if the wrong tune was played, it would cause the guitar to explode!
I asked her why make a guitar that could explode with the wrong tune and she replied that it was needed for what @amylong had found. I turned to her and she handed me a piece of old parchment, she said that the letters on the parchment were not words but actually musical chords. When played, they would reveal the answers to what we were looking for, which I still don't know as it was never explained in the dream!
All we had to do know was to figure out all the chords on the parchment and then @KeithAMusic could play it. As we discussed how we would go about extracting the chords, @BrianConn walked up behind us telling us that he had just finished inventing a machine that could easily do the job for us and it would only take 10 minutes. So we followed him over to his section and he showed us what looked like a photocopier, he explained that it was a photocopier but he had tweaked it a little bit and added some extra parts, also, it was powered by kryptonite. Before anyone asks me, I have no idea where this came from, my dreams tend to have the most bizarre things in them and most don't make any sense!
Anyway, @BrianConn put the machine in motion and fed in the parchment, we waited the 10 minutes, wondering what it would sound like when we played the chords and how safe the guitar would be, if it was all a trick and if playing it would doom us all. Eventually the machine finished its job and printed out a page of chords, I took it and gave it to @KeithAMusic, he looked at the page and then at the guitar, then back at the page. @KeithAMusic said it looked simple enough so he grabbed the guitar and set himself up to play what was on the piece of paper. Just as he was about to play the first bit on the guitar there was a loud rumbling sound, suddenly the ground started shaking like an earthquake was hitting us, we tried to keep our balance as we looked for some cover.
And then I woke up! Why do some of my dreams just wake me up at the most inopportune time?
Anyway, that's it for now.

Dont let the Tiger catch you!
Ok, it happened again this morning! I had another weird dream. This time the star of the Dream was Declan Pierce Dave and Dermot.
It all started with Myself and Dec working in some warehouse, Dave and Dermot were both with us too. Dec was in the forklift, stacking up some boxes while Dave was operating some sort of pulley, lifting some other boxes.
I walked in pulling a large cage behind me with a beautiful Tiger in it. Everyone came to check it out but we were all keeping a distance incase the Tiger went for one of us.
Dermot was walking around the cage, checking it out while the rest of us just stood in the one place admiring it when he tripped and fell over. Trying to stop himself from falling, Dermot reached out at the cage only to grab onto the latch and somehow open it.
Everyone screamed and ran away, jumping on the boxes, the Tiger slowly walked out of the cage and looked around the warehouse. It turned to where we were and started to make its way towards us. Dave suggested we split up and make for the high ground so everyone split and started climbing the stacked boxes, jumping from one pillar of boxes to another like they were in a video game.
I slipped at one point and fell down, hurting my back, the Tiger started to come towards me as I tried to get back up. The others began shouting, screaming, trying to get the Tigers attention, hoping to give me a chance to save myself but it was useless. I looked up to see the Tiger right in front of my face and as I raised my hand up, thinking that it would protect me in some way, the Tiger simply licked me. It was very friendly and playful. Everyone was amazed, they slowly came down and made their way over to me, still a little cautious but the Tiger didnt hurt anyone. So we decided to adopt it as our Warehouse Pet and it roamed freely around the place. Then I got woken up by my dad as I had to go to work! I wish I had that Tiger as a pet for real, it was so soft and cuddly and friendly!

A Poem
I found a place 10 days away,
Where the colour of night embraces the day.
I found a Girl who makes me smile,
Her pretty face and Angelic eyes.
I found that I always think of her,
She's all I could ever want, nothing more!
Where the colour of night embraces the day.
I found a Girl who makes me smile,
Her pretty face and Angelic eyes.
I found that I always think of her,
She's all I could ever want, nothing more!

Insanely Bored
Its a New Day and a New Year and I am so bloody bored right now! Because of the Snowfall I am stuck at my parents place, No TV, No Video Games and not my own Laptop. I am blogging from my mothers Laptop, which isnt the fastest thing despite having 1 gig of Ram. Not only that but it doesnt have all my favourites OR any of the games I would usually play to keep myself entertained.
No TV: Well there is a TV but no reception and only Italian stations because thats all my parents really watch. My mother watches Soap Operas so its like Hell for me, I do not want to watch Italian programming because there isnt anything of interest on!
No Video Games: All my consoles were moved to my house once i bought it, I always said I should leave something over at my parents so I had something to do if ever I had to stay here for more than a day but I never did. My sister won a Wii in work and she gave it to our mother because she loves playing Wii Bowling and Wii Fit but she left the console at our place so thats off too now :(
At the moment there is talk of going to the Cinema to see something, I would love to see Sherlock Holmes or Avatar or something else but it seems like the choosen movie is HAPPY EVER AFTERS Eurgh! I would rather go to bed early or take a dip in canal!
This is going to be a very long day, I need to get out and just go somewhere, I dont like being stuck in the house if I have nothing to do or keep me entertained :(
Ok thats it, I am logging off now, If you dont hear back from me on Twitter then fear the worst........now where did i put that hunting knife

X-Rated Story based on a Dream. Over 18s Only!
Ok, this is another one of my dreams i had, names changed again! Enjoy!
My name is Mark and this is my short story.
It starts at home with my family. We decided to have a little family time and watch a movie together, something which is very hard to do because we rarely ever have any spare time for anything with all 4 of us working. So anyway, we decided to get some other family members over, cousins, uncles, aunts, basically anyone who had any free time. Besides, it’s nice to see them from time to time.
My uncles and aunts couldn’t come as they were working and it was the same for my cousins except for 2 of them. They both work together and they decided to take some days off work to relax with their girlfriends. I told them that they could bring the girls over, bring some booze if they wanted to and stay the night. We have a big house, there’s plenty of spare rooms so why not.
Dad thought it would be a good idea to go buy some drinks since it was only 6, I suggested we go to Tesco because there was an Xtravision there too so we might as well get the movie and the booze at the same time. By 8:20 my cousins had arrived with their girlfriends but with no drinks. So we all decided to head over to Tesco, just for a laugh.
We drove over with 2 cars, it wasn’t too far so it didn’t take us long. We split up in Tesco to get some munchies, a few crisps, some dips and then we met up in the alcohol section. I went for a bottle of Southern Comfort; my cousins got a small bottle of Jack Daniels each. They just stood there with the bottle in their hand, looked at it and at each other and then put the bottles back and got a large one instead. With the way they act sometimes you would think they were twins but there is 5 years difference between them and they think so alike. My dad got a crate of Peroni, an Italian beer. Ever since his holiday to Rome 10 years ago he has loved it. Problem was, Peroni wasn’t really that easily available over here until probably about 5 or so years ago. At least I think it wasn’t, I never really saw them in any shops until 5 years ago so I might be wrong.
As usual the girls had all bunched together and where giggling and chatting away about shopping or men or something. They were trying to cheer up my sister a little bit as she had just broken up with her boyfriend. She assured them that she was ok and that she wasn’t upset. It was true, she was actually a little happier now. Her boyfriend was one of my friends, he was like an absent boyfriend though, sometimes he would disappear and no one would know where he was or if he was ok. They started seeing each other a couple of years ago, he disappeared, she cried and was upset and a year later we had found out that he had left and gone to work in America, didn’t tell anyone, not even his parents. He was back and she decided to give him another chance. I didn’t really mind, I normally don’t get involved with that sort of thing, I mean yeah he is a mate but if he is going out with my sister all I want him to do is treat her right and don’t mess about with her. Any arguments they have I stay out of it. Lately he had been doing the usual stuff, not calling her, cancelling their dates and she was getting very annoyed. She had learned from the first time so she wasn’t going to take it and would let him know about it.
They had gone away for a few days for Valentines Day and it had been 2 weeks since they last saw each other after they had gotten back so she told me she was meeting with him in town and breaking up with him. He called and cancelled again, said he had to do something so she called him back and basically told him it was over and that was that. My dad turned to the girls and told them to hurry up and get what they want; they went over to the wine section and started to discuss which wine would be better for the night and how many bottles.
“Let’s go with the Rosé!”
“No it’s too sweet, how about Jacobs Creek?”
“Oh just get one of each or something, it’s all the same, made from grapes or whatever”
My sister wasn’t that into wine, she just went for 2 large bottles of Smirnoff Ice instead. We made our way to the tills, paid for everything and then went to bring it to the car. After everything was put in the boot carefully we went over to see what movies we were going to rent. This normally ends the same way. My mum wants to see something romantic, me and my cousins want to see either a horror or some sort of adventure movie, my dad wants to see a western and the girls, well they don’t care because they either spend the time talking in the other room or they fall asleep early on.
After about 30 minutes of deciding what to get we went with 2 choices, Underdog and Pathfinder. My dad may like westerns but he is a big child at heart, he still watches cartoons and reads comic books, I have to confess that I am the same too, I love them and my mum will watch anything with a cute dog, especially a talking cute dog so that was Underdog sorted, as for Pathfinder, yeah it got some bad reviews and all that but I have to tell you, after watching it, I really enjoyed it. Anyway, we headed off back home; my dad got one of those picnic fridges. You know, the small plastic thing where you put a frozen pack in and it keeps food/drinks cool? He had put it in the freezer we had to get it ready for the night. He can be smart sometimes.
We put our drinks in the fridge and stuck in Underdog. Just as the movie was about to start I got a call from my friend, her name is Monica, she is the most beautiful girl I ever met and despite only knowing each other for about a year, we’ve grown a little close. Not very close but close to be very good friends and to act like an idiot around because she has a weird sense of humour. She is rude, weird, evil, a total bitch but it a very good way. I asked her if she wanted to come over to watch a movie with us and she said she would be there in 20 minutes and we should just start watching now.
So there we are, watching Underdog, my sister and the 2 girls chatting at the table, mum and dad cuddling up and me and my cousins drinking and talking about where we should go on holidays. Every now and again I would look at my watch, waiting impatiently for Monica to arrive. She’s late but then again she is always late so I wasn’t too worried. Eventually the doorbell rings and I jump up and race over to open it. My cousin cracks a joke about how I don’t even move that fast when doing work or playing football and my dad laughs.
No introductions where needed as everyone had met Monica before. She had been to the house a few times to visit me and she had been on nights out with us too. My mum thought she was a really nice girl and they would sometimes have a quick chat when she comes over. She sat with the girls and chatted with them while the rest of us watched the movie.
There was about 10 or so minutes left in the movie when my mum decided she would go to bed as she had a headache and was tired. She asked my dad if he was coming and he told her he would watch the rest of the DVD and then head up. So we said our goodnights, she told us not to stay up too late and went up stairs. My dad sat there, listening carefully for the bedroom door to close and as soon as he heard it he quickly got off his seat and went over to the liquor cabinet.
He got down on his knee’s and stuck his hand underneath the cabinet, looking for something, he grunted and took out his mobile and used the light from it to see underneath the cabinet. “Ah, there it is, Mark, give me something to grab this box with, I cant reach it. I grabbed the poker by the fireplace and handed it to him; he got back down and pulled out a box with the word Serenity written on it. It was one of those old deodorant box set things. But this one was special, my dad may not look it but he loves smoking weed, mum doesn’t know and if she knew she would kill him. Not because it was weed but because he was smoking. She doesn’t mind guests smoking as long as its not around her so when she goes to bed, I can have a smoke and she wouldn’t care but she hates the thought of my dad smoking.
Dad opens the box and slides it over to my cousin. “Here, you’re the expert at rolling, get cracking” See, that’s the cool thing about my dad. He’s more like one of the guys, a best mate; he’s all about having fun and smoking weed. My cousin started to make a spliff and as he worked away at it, my dad reached down the side of the couch and pulled out one he had already done up before. We looked over at him, as if to ask him where he got it from and he just shrugged and lit it. “I gotta head up to bed so I had this one from before; just make sure you put the box back where it was before going to bed. I don’t want your mother freaking out like last time”
Underdog had finished so I stuck in Pathfinder, my dad had also finished his spliff so he decided to head up to bed. My sister also decided to go to bed, so it was just the 6 of us left to watch the movie. Monica sat next to me on the couch, I laid back and rested my head on her chest and she put one of her hands on my head. I had a little secret, I really liked Monica. I don’t know why, I just…..well it’s very hard to explain it. I think about her all the time, I cant get her out of my mind and the one thing I really want is for her to go out with me. I don’t know if she knows how I feel about her, I don’t think she does and I can’t tell her because I’m too scared that it would ruin our friendship.
The movie went on, my younger cousin complained about it being bad and he and his girl friend decided they would go to bed. His brother thought it would be a good idea to go to bed too so it was just me and Monica left on the couch. We weren’t paying much attention to the movie, we were just chatting about random stuff, laughing at what each of us had been getting up to since the last time we saw each other.
Eventually she slid down on the couch so that she was laying on it. I turned around so I could face her and we continued chatting. Time went by and it was soon 2am. I told her we had another spare room and she was more than welcome to stay but she decided to crash on the couch for some reason. I tried to convince her but she wouldn’t budge. It was the couch or nothing. I put my arms around her and gave her a kiss on the cheek and she gave one back to me. “I love you Mark” Now that was ok because she always said that, she did love me as a friend, and I would always tell her that I loved her too and that was that but then something else happened.
She looked me straight in the eyes, we lay there just staring at each other and all I wanted to do was kiss her on the lips. Should I take the chance? Should I just go for it and see what happens? I did nothing, I just held onto her and then she pulled me closer, instinctively I held her tighter, I had assumed she thought I was falling off the couch and was bringing me closer. All of a sudden she kissed me again but this time on the lips. It wasn’t a long kiss but I didn’t care, it was on the lips, it was what I wanted, it was great.
She giggled quietly and I smiled and then she took her hand away and put them on my chest. She teased me slowly, I moved my hand up and down her back gently, and then she put her hand on my crotch at started massaging me. I couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t talk, I just……I just grabbed her ass and squeezed it. She unzipped my trousers, stuck her hand in and grabbed my dick. “Ah, here it is, it’s been poking me for a while now hehehe” My face went red and I tried to say something but I stuttered some gibberish; she kissed me again and then said something that got me excited!
“I forgot to wear my panties tonight” And to prove it she pulled down her jeans to show her clean shaven smooth pussy. Without thinking or saying anything I started to finger her pussy and she started to jerk me off. She moaned quietly until I stopped. She looked at me and asked what was wrong, I told her I wanted to taste it so I shifted slowly downwards and started licking her pussy. She squirmed, put her hands on the back of my head and pulled it closer.
I let my tongue go in and out of her pussy, lapping it up, licking around and inside. She pulled my head up and kissed me to taste her pussy juice. She then grabbed my dick and rubbed it against her pussy; she kissed my chest and moved down slowly. She was about to put my dick in her mouth when I stopped her, I didn’t want a blowjob; she shrugged and straddled me, rubbing her pussy against my balls. Then she moved up a little bit and adjusted herself so that my dick went into her pussy. She started off slowly, shifting back and forth. We both groaned, her tits were bouncing up and down, I grabbed them and bit them, she loved it. She started to move faster, it was getting hot and heavy; I went to turn, forgetting we were on the couch and we both fell down.
Luckily we didn’t break anything. She smiled and looked at me. “Slide your hard cock up and down against me. Tease me and feel me, I’m wet for you, my juices are running down my legs.” I did as she asked, I was her bitch but I didn’t care. “I want you all the way inside me, bend me over and slide your hard cock up and down against me, tease me then fuck me all the way, I’m so horny.”
I bent her over, grabbed her hair and pulled back and kissed her before pushing it back down, I got my dick and rubbed it against her ass and pussy, she gyrated her pelvis around, beginning me to stick it in so I slowly pushed the tip in and then I gave a quick thrust, she screamed, I looked and noticed that I had stuck my dick in her ass but I didn’t stop, I kept going, she struggled a little bit but then relaxed and started to move back and forth with my thrusts, she was getting it up the ass and she was loving it. I was about to cum and I started thrusting harder and faster, I had one hand on the ground for balance and the other hand around her waist, holding her closer, rubbing her pussy a few times. With one last thrust I came in her ass, she slumped down and I dropped on top of her, kissing the back of her neck.
“You still want to stay on the couch or would you rather get in a nice comfy bed with me?” I asked her, she smiled and kissed me not saying a word. She then stood up, and grabbed her jeans, I stood up to help her, and she just grabbed my dick and started walking out the door. “Come on then, let’s get to bed.” Before we had even made it up the stairs my dick was hard again, we made our way to my room and I locked the door behind us. I turned to her and saw her lying seductively on my bed, naked or not, she always looked so beautiful and sexy. She started to rub her clit, I walked over to her, she grabbed my dick again with her other hand and started sucking it. She licked and sucked on my balls while she wanked my hard dick, her tongue circled around the base and then to the top. I stretch my hand over and start to rub her pussy and finger her again, she sucks hard on my dick and I cum in her mouth. She swallows it all and licks her lips clean.

Every now and again I would look at my watch, waiting impatiently for Monica to arrive. She’s late but then again she is always late so I wasn’t too worried. Eventually the doorbell rings and I jump up and race over to open it. My cousin cracks a joke about how I don’t even move that fast when doing work or playing football and my dad laughs.
No introductions where needed as everyone had met Monica before. She had been to the house a few times to visit me and she had been on nights out with us too. My mum thought she was a really nice girl and they would sometimes have a quick chat when she comes over. She sat with the girls and chatted with them while the rest of us watched the movie.
There was about 10 or so minutes left in the movie when my mum decided she would go to bed as she had a headache and was tired. She asked my dad if he was coming and he told her he would watch the rest of the DVD and then head up. So we said our goodnights, she told us not to stay up too late and went up stairs. My dad sat there, listening carefully for the bedroom door to close and as soon as he heard it he quickly got off his seat and went over to the liquor cabinet.
He got down on his knee’s and stuck his hand underneath the cabinet, looking for something, he grunted and took out his mobile and used the light from it to see underneath the cabinet. “Ah, there it is, Mark, give me something to grab this box with, I cant reach it. I grabbed the poker by the fireplace and handed it to him; he got back down and pulled out a box with the word Serenity written on it. It was one of those old deodorant box set things. But this one was special, my dad may not look it but he loves smoking weed, mum doesn’t know and if she knew she would kill him. Not because it was weed but because he was smoking. She doesn’t mind guests smoking as long as its not around her so when she goes to bed, I can have a smoke and she wouldn’t care but she hates the thought of my dad smoking.
Dad opens the box and slides it over to my cousin. “Here, you’re the expert at rolling, get cracking” See, that’s the cool thing about my dad. He’s more like one of the guys, a best mate; he’s all about having fun and smoking weed. My cousin started to make a spliff and as he worked away at it, my dad reached down the side of the couch and pulled out one he had already done up before. We looked over at him, as if to ask him where he got it from and he just shrugged and lit it. “I gotta head up to bed so I had this one from before; just make sure you put the box back where it was before going to bed. I don’t want your mother freaking out like last time”
Underdog had finished so I stuck in Pathfinder, my dad had also finished his spliff so he decided to head up to bed. My sister also decided to go to bed, so it was just the 6 of us left to watch the movie. Monica sat next to me on the couch, I laid back and rested my head on her chest and she put one of her hands on my head. I had a little secret, I really liked Monica. I don’t know why, I just…..well it’s very hard to explain it. I think about her all the time, I cant get her out of my mind and the one thing I really want is for her to go out with me. I don’t know if she knows how I feel about her, I don’t think she does and I can’t tell her because I’m too scared that it would ruin our friendship.
The movie went on, my younger cousin complained about it being bad and he and his girl friend decided they would go to bed. His brother thought it would be a good idea to go to bed too so it was just me and Monica left on the couch. We weren’t paying much attention to the movie, we were just chatting about random stuff, laughing at what each of us had been getting up to since the last time we saw each other.
Eventually she slid down on the couch so that she was laying on it. I turned around so I could face her and we continued chatting. Time went by and it was soon 2am. I told her we had another spare room and she was more than welcome to stay but she decided to crash on the couch for some reason. I tried to convince her but she wouldn’t budge. It was the couch or nothing. I put my arms around her and gave her a kiss on the cheek and she gave one back to me. “I love you Mark” Now that was ok because she always said that, she did love me as a friend, and I would always tell her that I loved her too and that was that but then something else happened.
She looked me straight in the eyes, we lay there just staring at each other and all I wanted to do was kiss her on the lips. Should I take the chance? Should I just go for it and see what happens? I did nothing, I just held onto her and then she pulled me closer, instinctively I held her tighter, I had assumed she thought I was falling off the couch and was bringing me closer. All of a sudden she kissed me again but this time on the lips. It wasn’t a long kiss but I didn’t care, it was on the lips, it was what I wanted, it was great.
She giggled quietly and I smiled and then she took her hand away and put them on my chest. She teased me slowly, I moved my hand up and down her back gently, and then she put her hand on my crotch at started massaging me. I couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t talk, I just……I just grabbed her ass and squeezed it. She unzipped my trousers, stuck her hand in and grabbed my dick. “Ah, here it is, it’s been poking me for a while now hehehe” My face went red and I tried to say something but I stuttered some gibberish; she kissed me again and then said something that got me excited!
“I forgot to wear my panties tonight” And to prove it she pulled down her jeans to show her clean shaven smooth pussy. Without thinking or saying anything I started to finger her pussy and she started to jerk me off. She moaned quietly until I stopped. She looked at me and asked what was wrong, I told her I wanted to taste it so I shifted slowly downwards and started licking her pussy. She squirmed, put her hands on the back of my head and pulled it closer.
I let my tongue go in and out of her pussy, lapping it up, licking around and inside. She pulled my head up and kissed me to taste her pussy juice. She then grabbed my dick and rubbed it against her pussy; she kissed my chest and moved down slowly. She was about to put my dick in her mouth when I stopped her, I didn’t want a blowjob; she shrugged and straddled me, rubbing her pussy against my balls. Then she moved up a little bit and adjusted herself so that my dick went into her pussy. She started off slowly, shifting back and forth. We both groaned, her tits were bouncing up and down, I grabbed them and bit them, she loved it. She started to move faster, it was getting hot and heavy; I went to turn, forgetting we were on the couch and we both fell down.
Luckily we didn’t break anything. She smiled and looked at me. “Slide your hard cock up and down against me. Tease me and feel me, I’m wet for you, my juices are running down my legs.” I did as she asked, I was her bitch but I didn’t care. “I want you all the way inside me, bend me over and slide your hard cock up and down against me, tease me then fuck me all the way, I’m so horny.”
I bent her over, grabbed her hair and pulled back and kissed her before pushing it back down, I got my dick and rubbed it against her ass and pussy, she gyrated her pelvis around, beginning me to stick it in so I slowly pushed the tip in and then I gave a quick thrust, she screamed, I looked and noticed that I had stuck my dick in her ass but I didn’t stop, I kept going, she struggled a little bit but then relaxed and started to move back and forth with my thrusts, she was getting it up the ass and she was loving it. I was about to cum and I started thrusting harder and faster, I had one hand on the ground for balance and the other hand around her waist, holding her closer, rubbing her pussy a few times. With one last thrust I came in her ass, she slumped down and I dropped on top of her, kissing the back of her neck.
“You still want to stay on the couch or would you rather get in a nice comfy bed with me?” I asked her, she smiled and kissed me not saying a word. She then stood up, and grabbed her jeans, I stood up to help her, and she just grabbed my dick and started walking out the door. “Come on then, let’s get to bed.” Before we had even made it up the stairs my dick was hard again, we made our way to my room and I locked the door behind us. I turned to her and saw her lying seductively on my bed, naked or not, she always looked so beautiful and sexy. She started to rub her clit, I walked over to her, she grabbed my dick again with her other hand and started sucking it. She licked and sucked on my balls while she wanked my hard dick, her tongue circled around the base and then to the top. I stretch my hand over and start to rub her pussy and finger her again, she sucks hard on my dick and I cum in her mouth. She swallows it all and licks her lips clean.

Dreaming of €100K
I had a dream last night about winning €100K in some competition that Dublin's 98 were running! For the last 7 days I havent been able to remember any of my dreams, I blame the Italian air, nothing much really happened while I was away, Dream wise or real world! But as soon as I came back and went to sleep, I had one of my usual, sometimes weird, dream!
The whole premise behind the competition was simple really. Dermot & Dave would provide clues during their show and from those clues you had to find out what it was and take it to the Stations office. This wasnt that simple, you needed to bring it in person and within a 20 minute time limit. Once you arrived you had to wait for the time limit to expire to give any other listener a chance too. If you were the only person there you win the €100K but if there were others then you all had to answer a series of difficult questions from Declan Pierce & Adrian Barry! The objects were every day items that could be found around the house and not too big or heavy!
So in my dream I am walking down O'Connell Street listening to The Morning Show on my iPhone and Dermot & Dave are giving clues to what the object might be. "It comes in different shapes & sizes" said Dermot, "They have different types of melodies but they all ring" came from Dave. At that point I was guessing a mobile phone and since I had one I started making my way to the station but then Dermot gave a final clue which was "This little thing has been helping people wake up for many years" The answer, An Alarm Clock.
I rushed into the nearest shop with the intention of buying an alarm clock, I dont know what shop it was but when I got in I searched everywhere and eventually found 2 Alarm Clock. As I reached out to take 1 of the clocks another hand reached in and took the other 1, I looked up to see some guy who was staring right back at me, I could tell from the look in his eyes that he had been listening to the Radio and he wanted to win the €100K.
All of a sudden we both snatched the clocks and a race ensued between us. We rushed out of the shop without even paying for the clocks and with no one coming after us for stealing them. Eventually, after what seemed more like an hour of running around the city to get to the office and not 20 minutes, we both stood there, the only 2 to have made it. Along the way there were some mishaps as we both tried to delay each other in some way or anyother, from getting to the station, such as me setting up a large net full of fish to swing by and swipe the other guy into the Liffey or accidently glueing my shoes and having to take them off to finish the race.
Anyway, we were there and we were awaiting Dec & Adrian for the questions to see who would be the winner. I was lucky this was a dream because most of the questions were Rugby related and I have no idea about anything Rugby related in real life but yet in the dream I was fantastic. The questions kept coming and we both kept answering them correctly. Eventually we got a wrestling question which I was able to answer but the other guy wasnt and there was a huge explosion of fireworks as confetti rained down and everyone cheered!
Long Story short, I ended up giving half to the other guy cause it was very close and he put up a good fight for it, then I woke up.

Another Dream, Another Woman
Only names changed in this story are Elaine and Barry! Enjoy
We decided to go to Fibbers for a few drinks and meet up with some old friends.
As we made our way there I noticed it was a lot darker than normal and it was only 8pm but i wasn't concerned, all i wanted to do was get to the pub, have some drinks and chat with some friends, and hopefully meet Elaine.
Elaine was this beautiful girl i used to work with, really amazing, well i thought so anyway. We used to get along very well in work and we always had a laugh with the emails we sent each other. Sure they didn't make sense to others when they read them but that was because only we knew what we were talking about.
I hadn't seen Elaine since leaving Eircom, which was about 3 months ago, not because she didn't want to or i didn't want to but because we were both so busy with our respective jobs. When i had some free time she would be stuck on a late shift in work and when she had some free time i would be away on training or something but we made sure that this time we would both be free so we could meet up and catch up on things. We didn't have to walk to far to get to Fibbers, i only live around the corner in Gardiner Street so its very handy for when i have to go home. No taxi, no long walks and quick access to my bed! Once we got there we ordered our drinks and went to the smoking area, that's where everyone that we know normally goes. Kev was the first guy i saw there, i love this man, tall fucker and genuine nice guy, he's like a brother to me and i always tell him that! He gets up from his seat and greets me with a big hug and as he goes to sit back down he rips a hole in my shirt. One of the sharp studs on his belt just hitched itself to my shirt so it was an accident and i told him it was alright but he felt very bad about it and said he would pay for a new one. I just told him that buying me a drink would be more than enough compensation. Like i said, i love the guy and accidents are accidents, its only a shirt and i have many more of them at home.............at least i hope i do.
Sitting next to Kev was Dean. You could say that Dean and Kev are brothers. They've only known each other for about 3 or 4 years but in that short time they've grown close, they get each others weird sense of humour and are almost always hanging out together. Dean is another great guy too, i remember when he used to be a shy guy but that all changed when he met Kev. He is the most evil, politically incorrect guy i know but in a very good way and i like him. He makes me laugh, he helps me out when i need help. He's been there for me when i rant on after 8 too many shots and will give some sound advice.............alright, so his advice isn't always that great but you get the idea. When you have Dean and Kev together you have a lethal combination, nothing can go wrong and if it does, well your pretty much fucked and you better run as fast as you can!
So Dean starts asking me about Elaine, wondering where she is, what she looks like, has she got a sister, just taking the piss with me. I tell him that i dint know where she is but I'm hoping to God she will be here soon. I've had a crush on Elaine since i first saw her when i started in Eircom but being the shy guy that i am, i could never ask her out or anything. I wasn't sure if she was seeing anyone and i didn't know how she felt about me, the last thing i wanted to do was pour my heart out to her only for her to get freaked out and run a mile and believe me that's happened to me before. I did finally find out that she wasn't seeing anyone but i was only told that after i had already left the job and it was her best friend who told me so there had to be some truth to it. I had tested Elaine a few weeks back to make sure that we could meet up today and nothing would get in our way but i was getting a little worried that she may have forgotten about it. I wasn't going to call or text her, i didn't want to seem like some sort of psycho who's stalking her or something like that.
11:30 rolled around and my phone beeped, i checked it and saw a text message from Elaine, she just got into Fibbers and was wondering where i was, i replied back that i was in the smoking area and would see her in a few seconds. I started to get a little nervous, Kev put his hand on my shoulder and told me to just relax and be myself and everything will be alright, Dean slapped me across the back of the head and told me that i would do fine. So i waited a couple of seconds and i saw her at the doorway looking around the room, i raised my hand up and shouted over to her, she saw me and waved at me. We managed to snag a chair from someone who wasn't paying attention and made room for Elaine, i introduced her to everyone and then she introduced her guy friend she brought along to everyone. I didn't know what to do or say, yeah i said hi to the guy and shook his hand, he said his name was Barry. Elaine sat down beside me but Barry got a chair and put it between us and he sat down. I was thinking back to what i was told about her being single and was wondering if i missed something or if she had met someone since i was informed about it. I was a little heartbroken but didn't show it, i just kept chatting away to her and Barry with a smile. She was telling me about what had been happening since i left the job and how there is a new boss who she doesn't like because he's a bit of a hard ass. I told her i was loving my new job and suggested she should apply too, we could have fun there together, like before.
Kev decided to buy a round so he got up to go to the bar, he asked Barry if he could come and help him, obviously trying to help me out with the situation. Barry was a bit hesitant in replying to him and by the time he was ready Elaine had decided she would help instead and excused herself. Kev gave me one of his weird looks that said "sorry, i tried, it backfired" I started talking to Barry, asking him all sorts of generic questions like what sport he watches, football team he supports, just idle chit chat and then i asked him how long he had known Elaine. He said he met her in work about 2 and a half months ago, she had found his wallet and brought it back to him. Now i was in Eircom a good 6 years and i dint remember ever seeing this guy so i asked him what department he worked in, he said he was in Faults & Recovery but had only started working with the company in the last 7 months. So there was a good reason why i had never seen him before. Elaine and Kev came back with the drinks, they had a tray between them and she had bought me a double JD & Coke and a shot of Purple Haze. I cracked a joke about her trying to get me drunk so she could take advantage of me and she laughed and commented that i wouldn't mind if anyone took advantage of me drunk or sober.
It was a little difficult trying to talk to her with Barry in the middle so i took complete advantage when he went to the loo, i got up and sat in his seat and chatted away to Elaine. I really wanted to ask her if there was something going on between the 2 of them but i couldn't. I just had the thought in my head that she might not appreciate me being nosey about her private life and it would probably ruin our friendship. For the whole time we were talking i couldn't stop staring into her eyes, beautiful blue eyes, i didn't even notice the guy behind me take my chair. Barry came back and looked at us with his hands out to the side asking what happened to his chair, i looked over and apologised that i hadn't noticed my one being taken and was getting up to give him his back but he said it was alright and sat himself on Elaine's knee.
Elaine was a little surprised about it as she wasn't really expecting him to do that, i hung my head down, admitting defeat to this other man, Dean leaned over the table to get his drink and as he did he whispered to me that it was alright and we would beat Barry up later outside, i smiled a little but i knew he was only joking about it and was just trying to cheer me up. So we continued chatting about things and having a laugh, all the time i tried to get my mind off Barry on her knee but i would end up imagining them kissing instead, it was wrecking my head. I said it was my turn to get a round in, i asked everyone what they wanted and once i had repeated it back to them and still got it wrong i went up to the bar. I looked back at the group hoping that Barry would take my seat but he never budged from her Knee. Once the barman gave me the drinks i ordered i put them on the tray and went back to my seat. I put the tray on the table and sat down, as i did there was a low rumbling noise all around us, everyone looked around and for just a split second there was silence, something that's extremely rare in Fibbers on a Thursday night. It was broken by the door slamming from the high winds. After that it was back to the usual noise of the place, everyone just seemed to assume that it was the wind making the noise.
I wasn't paying attention again because when i went to pick up my drink i saw that Elaine was actually holding my hand and i was holding hers. I looked down at it and then at her and she smiled at me. At that point i was very confused, what was she trying to do? It felt like time had stopped and it was just the 2 of us there but it didn't last long. Suddenly there was a load roar and some shaking in the pub. Somebody shouted earthquake but it couldn't have been, Ireland docent get earthquakes, does it? This was an earthquake though, i remember being in France 10 years ago when there was a minor earthquake, it only shook the ground a little and did no damage and that was my first and only experience until now and i thought back to only just 5 or 6 minutes ago when there was that low rumble, that must have been an earthquake too. This second quake was loud and had actually broken some of the windows and made a few of the more drunken guys fall over but it wasn't too bad, it didn't cause too much, if any, damage apart from the windows. Barry seemed to be more shaken than us, he went to grab Elaine's knee and she pushed him off her. Everyone stood up, there was some chattering about what to do, Dean thought it would be a good idea to get more drinks in case the bar got damaged with the shocks, we laughed thinking he was joking but he was actually very serious and seemed almost upset about it. Some of the people started to leave, others thought it was great, someone mentioned it felt like drinking on a rollercoaster.
I suggested going back to my place, the guys knew where i lived and they knew that i always kept a good stock of alcohol there so we could have a more relaxing time, i even invited Barry over too. He seemed a little hesitant at first but agreed to come. We pushed our way through the people to get out and just as we reached the door there was another tremor and this one was strong. People started screaming, we grabbed onto whatever was near us to keep a balance. Elaine held onto me as i held onto one of the large pillars, well just about, i couldn't get my arms all the way around and i ended up falling over with her on top of me. The tremor lasted about 4 minutes and in that 4 minutes it did a lot of damage. Kev and Dean had been holding onto the bar counter, which surprisingly seemed to be in good shape. I got up and helped Elaine up too, Kev shouted about getting out quickly so we did and as soon as we went out through the doors we saw that the road had split, there was a void between us and the opposite side, people were screaming, cars were dangling by the side, falling over into the abyss.
Luckily we didn't have to cross to get to my place, we hurried down towards Gardiner Street and started making our way to the apartment. As we rounded the corner of Parnell and Gardiner another tremor struck and we all grabbed onto the railings near us. The ground started to part at our feet so we got onto the small wall that the railing were mounted on. Dean was at the front with Kev behind him followed by Barry, myself and then Elaine. We moved slowly as it was very hard to go fast with the little space we had, Barry lost his footing and slipped, I managed to grab his hand in time and told him to hold on, Kev slowly squatted down and grabbed hold of Barry and the 2 of us pulled him back up, he grabbed hold of the railings and kissed them, promising never to let go of them until we got past the drop. So we continued on and as we looked around we could see the devastation caused by the last tremor. We could see fires in the distance, black smoke, we could hear more people screaming, praying, crying. I looked back and saw that the wall with the railings we had just passed was starting to crumble and fall down. I told Elaine to go over me and go ahead and not to look back so i pushed into the railings to give her some space to pass me, we picked up the pace a little to get off and into the apartment as we got closer. I started thinking that it may not be such a good idea to go indoors because the building might get demolished by the tremors so we started throwing out some ideas or plans on what to do. Barry suggested getting in a car and driving but Dean pointed out that the last car we saw had fallen into the open and there was a very high chance if we did get into one the same would happen to us.
We eventually got to my place, unfortunately it was in bad shape, actually terrible, half the building was gone, destroyed. Dean jumped off the wall and Kev followed him, Barry gently sat down and off, he was still a little shaken form earlier, i was helping Elaine off when all of a sudden the railing i was holding onto started falling back with the wall and into the open. Elaine managed to get clear but i was left hanging on and screaming. Kev dived onto the ground and grabbed onto my arm, the railing started to break off so i let go of it and held onto Kev otherwise i would have gone down and dragged him with me but i hadn't noticed that he had gone a little too far and we were both dangling over the hole now, me holding onto Kev looking up at him and he holding onto me looking down the hole, Dean had grabbed Kev by his legs and Barry was there holding on too. "Jesus that's fucking dark down there" he said. They pulled us both up and i thanked them and hugged them. Elaine came over and hugged me and then kissed me, she then smacked me and gave out for not being careful, i told her i was sorry. Then i decided to tell her how i felt. I told her that i liked her, always had from the first day, that i was too scared to say anything to her, that i always thought about her, every day and every night and that just holding hands with her was the best thing i could ever want and that's what i would want to do all the time. She stood there, looked a bit shocked and then she kissed me again and asked why i hadn't said anything until now. Dean asked if we were done and if there was anything i wanted to get out of what was left of my place. I looked at my home, the place i had lived in for the last 6 years, i had worked so hard to get it. Sure it may seem like a dump on a good day but it was home and now it was half a home. I said i didn't need anything and we should get a move on. We were trying to decide where to go and how to get there and what we would do when we got there when there was a loud explosion and a screeching noise, things were about to get a whole lot worse................................
We decided to go to Fibbers for a few drinks and meet up with some old friends.
As we made our way there I noticed it was a lot darker than normal and it was only 8pm but i wasn't concerned, all i wanted to do was get to the pub, have some drinks and chat with some friends, and hopefully meet Elaine.

He's been there for me when i rant on after 8 too many shots and will give some sound advice.............alright, so his advice isn't always that great but you get the idea. When you have Dean and Kev together you have a lethal combination, nothing can go wrong and if it does, well your pretty much fucked and you better run as fast as you can!
So Dean starts asking me about Elaine, wondering where she is, what she looks like, has she got a sister, just taking the piss with me. I tell him that i dint know where she is but I'm hoping to God she will be here soon. I've had a crush on Elaine since i first saw her when i started in Eircom but being the shy guy that i am, i could never ask her out or anything. I wasn't sure if she was seeing anyone and i didn't know how she felt about me, the last thing i wanted to do was pour my heart out to her only for her to get freaked out and run a mile and believe me that's happened to me before. I did finally find out that she wasn't seeing anyone but i was only told that after i had already left the job and it was her best friend who told me so there had to be some truth to it. I had tested Elaine a few weeks back to make sure that we could meet up today and nothing would get in our way but i was getting a little worried that she may have forgotten about it. I wasn't going to call or text her, i didn't want to seem like some sort of psycho who's stalking her or something like that.
11:30 rolled around and my phone beeped, i checked it and saw a text message from Elaine, she just got into Fibbers and was wondering where i was, i replied back that i was in the smoking area and would see her in a few seconds. I started to get a little nervous, Kev put his hand on my shoulder and told me to just relax and be myself and everything will be alright, Dean slapped me across the back of the head and told me that i would do fine. So i waited a couple of seconds and i saw her at the doorway looking around the room, i raised my hand up and shouted over to her, she saw me and waved at me. We managed to snag a chair from someone who wasn't paying attention and made room for Elaine, i introduced her to everyone and then she introduced her guy friend she brought along to everyone. I didn't know what to do or say, yeah i said hi to the guy and shook his hand, he said his name was Barry. Elaine sat down beside me but Barry got a chair and put it between us and he sat down. I was thinking back to what i was told about her being single and was wondering if i missed something or if she had met someone since i was informed about it. I was a little heartbroken but didn't show it, i just kept chatting away to her and Barry with a smile. She was telling me about what had been happening since i left the job and how there is a new boss who she doesn't like because he's a bit of a hard ass. I told her i was loving my new job and suggested she should apply too, we could have fun there together, like before.
Kev decided to buy a round so he got up to go to the bar, he asked Barry if he could come and help him, obviously trying to help me out with the situation. Barry was a bit hesitant in replying to him and by the time he was ready Elaine had decided she would help instead and excused herself. Kev gave me one of his weird looks that said "sorry, i tried, it backfired" I started talking to Barry, asking him all sorts of generic questions like what sport he watches, football team he supports, just idle chit chat and then i asked him how long he had known Elaine. He said he met her in work about 2 and a half months ago, she had found his wallet and brought it back to him. Now i was in Eircom a good 6 years and i dint remember ever seeing this guy so i asked him what department he worked in, he said he was in Faults & Recovery but had only started working with the company in the last 7 months. So there was a good reason why i had never seen him before. Elaine and Kev came back with the drinks, they had a tray between them and she had bought me a double JD & Coke and a shot of Purple Haze. I cracked a joke about her trying to get me drunk so she could take advantage of me and she laughed and commented that i wouldn't mind if anyone took advantage of me drunk or sober.
It was a little difficult trying to talk to her with Barry in the middle so i took complete advantage when he went to the loo, i got up and sat in his seat and chatted away to Elaine. I really wanted to ask her if there was something going on between the 2 of them but i couldn't. I just had the thought in my head that she might not appreciate me being nosey about her private life and it would probably ruin our friendship. For the whole time we were talking i couldn't stop staring into her eyes, beautiful blue eyes, i didn't even notice the guy behind me take my chair. Barry came back and looked at us with his hands out to the side asking what happened to his chair, i looked over and apologised that i hadn't noticed my one being taken and was getting up to give him his back but he said it was alright and sat himself on Elaine's knee.
Elaine was a little surprised about it as she wasn't really expecting him to do that, i hung my head down, admitting defeat to this other man, Dean leaned over the table to get his drink and as he did he whispered to me that it was alright and we would beat Barry up later outside, i smiled a little but i knew he was only joking about it and was just trying to cheer me up. So we continued chatting about things and having a laugh, all the time i tried to get my mind off Barry on her knee but i would end up imagining them kissing instead, it was wrecking my head. I said it was my turn to get a round in, i asked everyone what they wanted and once i had repeated it back to them and still got it wrong i went up to the bar. I looked back at the group hoping that Barry would take my seat but he never budged from her Knee. Once the barman gave me the drinks i ordered i put them on the tray and went back to my seat. I put the tray on the table and sat down, as i did there was a low rumbling noise all around us, everyone looked around and for just a split second there was silence, something that's extremely rare in Fibbers on a Thursday night. It was broken by the door slamming from the high winds. After that it was back to the usual noise of the place, everyone just seemed to assume that it was the wind making the noise.
I wasn't paying attention again because when i went to pick up my drink i saw that Elaine was actually holding my hand and i was holding hers. I looked down at it and then at her and she smiled at me. At that point i was very confused, what was she trying to do? It felt like time had stopped and it was just the 2 of us there but it didn't last long. Suddenly there was a load roar and some shaking in the pub. Somebody shouted earthquake but it couldn't have been, Ireland docent get earthquakes, does it? This was an earthquake though, i remember being in France 10 years ago when there was a minor earthquake, it only shook the ground a little and did no damage and that was my first and only experience until now and i thought back to only just 5 or 6 minutes ago when there was that low rumble, that must have been an earthquake too. This second quake was loud and had actually broken some of the windows and made a few of the more drunken guys fall over but it wasn't too bad, it didn't cause too much, if any, damage apart from the windows. Barry seemed to be more shaken than us, he went to grab Elaine's knee and she pushed him off her. Everyone stood up, there was some chattering about what to do, Dean thought it would be a good idea to get more drinks in case the bar got damaged with the shocks, we laughed thinking he was joking but he was actually very serious and seemed almost upset about it. Some of the people started to leave, others thought it was great, someone mentioned it felt like drinking on a rollercoaster.
I suggested going back to my place, the guys knew where i lived and they knew that i always kept a good stock of alcohol there so we could have a more relaxing time, i even invited Barry over too. He seemed a little hesitant at first but agreed to come. We pushed our way through the people to get out and just as we reached the door there was another tremor and this one was strong. People started screaming, we grabbed onto whatever was near us to keep a balance. Elaine held onto me as i held onto one of the large pillars, well just about, i couldn't get my arms all the way around and i ended up falling over with her on top of me. The tremor lasted about 4 minutes and in that 4 minutes it did a lot of damage. Kev and Dean had been holding onto the bar counter, which surprisingly seemed to be in good shape. I got up and helped Elaine up too, Kev shouted about getting out quickly so we did and as soon as we went out through the doors we saw that the road had split, there was a void between us and the opposite side, people were screaming, cars were dangling by the side, falling over into the abyss.
Luckily we didn't have to cross to get to my place, we hurried down towards Gardiner Street and started making our way to the apartment. As we rounded the corner of Parnell and Gardiner another tremor struck and we all grabbed onto the railings near us. The ground started to part at our feet so we got onto the small wall that the railing were mounted on. Dean was at the front with Kev behind him followed by Barry, myself and then Elaine. We moved slowly as it was very hard to go fast with the little space we had, Barry lost his footing and slipped, I managed to grab his hand in time and told him to hold on, Kev slowly squatted down and grabbed hold of Barry and the 2 of us pulled him back up, he grabbed hold of the railings and kissed them, promising never to let go of them until we got past the drop. So we continued on and as we looked around we could see the devastation caused by the last tremor. We could see fires in the distance, black smoke, we could hear more people screaming, praying, crying. I looked back and saw that the wall with the railings we had just passed was starting to crumble and fall down. I told Elaine to go over me and go ahead and not to look back so i pushed into the railings to give her some space to pass me, we picked up the pace a little to get off and into the apartment as we got closer. I started thinking that it may not be such a good idea to go indoors because the building might get demolished by the tremors so we started throwing out some ideas or plans on what to do. Barry suggested getting in a car and driving but Dean pointed out that the last car we saw had fallen into the open and there was a very high chance if we did get into one the same would happen to us.
We eventually got to my place, unfortunately it was in bad shape, actually terrible, half the building was gone, destroyed. Dean jumped off the wall and Kev followed him, Barry gently sat down and off, he was still a little shaken form earlier, i was helping Elaine off when all of a sudden the railing i was holding onto started falling back with the wall and into the open. Elaine managed to get clear but i was left hanging on and screaming. Kev dived onto the ground and grabbed onto my arm, the railing started to break off so i let go of it and held onto Kev otherwise i would have gone down and dragged him with me but i hadn't noticed that he had gone a little too far and we were both dangling over the hole now, me holding onto Kev looking up at him and he holding onto me looking down the hole, Dean had grabbed Kev by his legs and Barry was there holding on too. "Jesus that's fucking dark down there" he said. They pulled us both up and i thanked them and hugged them. Elaine came over and hugged me and then kissed me, she then smacked me and gave out for not being careful, i told her i was sorry. Then i decided to tell her how i felt. I told her that i liked her, always had from the first day, that i was too scared to say anything to her, that i always thought about her, every day and every night and that just holding hands with her was the best thing i could ever want and that's what i would want to do all the time. She stood there, looked a bit shocked and then she kissed me again and asked why i hadn't said anything until now. Dean asked if we were done and if there was anything i wanted to get out of what was left of my place. I looked at my home, the place i had lived in for the last 6 years, i had worked so hard to get it. Sure it may seem like a dump on a good day but it was home and now it was half a home. I said i didn't need anything and we should get a move on. We were trying to decide where to go and how to get there and what we would do when we got there when there was a loud explosion and a screeching noise, things were about to get a whole lot worse................................
