After closing and locking the door behind me, I toss my coat and CDs on the couch and move to turn on the light when I notice your things lying there also. I move to look down the hall into the bedroom, but the light's out and there is only silence.

The sun was beaming through her window and Mary felt like her head was going to explode, or maybe just crack down the middle. She couldn't decide what was worse, the sunlight, the loud, unidentified clanks, or the fact that she wasn't precisely sure what happened last night.

I dragged myself up from the floor where I must have finally crashed out the night before. My head was numb and I shook my-self out of the death-like grip sleep had imposed on me.

"So, Heinrich," the pistol-wielding woman in front of me said as I followed her down the forest path, watching her ass move nicely under her tight skirt, "Looks like you have a pretty good setup here. You grow the dope, get some hippie sluts to tend it for you, and get your dick sucked whenever you want!" The slick-haired guy behind me sniggered, and I loo...
