Healing Mishap -7-
ByLanzaQ
After Proceeding through Dagger sheath Pass the group found themselves in the presence of a group of thieves that supposedly were there for the sake of stealing from the loot and plunder rich Crawlers for the sake of donation to the local church and helping the needy.

However, what happens when the man wanting their money decides he wants to tag along?

I'm afraid this is the last chapter for now. There is one short 'spin off' story called 'Martina's story' and I will post this in a few days once I've run through it to see that there are no contradictions with these new later chapters of Skipper.

Martina's Story was also written way back in 2007 (If I remember correctly.) So I'll have to read through it and cross reference it with Skipper!

thanks, but no thanks

WELL!

Despite my endeavours to wrap this story up in 30 chapters, it looks as though it might run to 31. otherwise chapter 30 woul have run to about 30 pages.

This chapter addresses the marriage of Beverly to Angie and other issues that need winding up in the story. (But not all.)

This chapter moves the lives of Chrissie and Billy on into parenthood by proxy via teenaged marriage and extensive parental support.

It also lays the ground work for the final chapter that is chapter 30.

I am running out of themes to explore in this genre and my lack of originality shows in the reduction of of interest reflected by reductions in comments.

I'm cerainly not complaining, I have several other stories to post. Some just need re-jigging (Martina's Story,) and some are based on totally new ideas. However I'm very busy at work at the moment and after the last chapter (30) of Skipper there might be a short hiatus before the next story gets posted. (Couple of months maybe.)

I'm also preparing to go to Sparkle in Manchester this July so there's alot to do for that delight.

I need a break to recharge my batteries and the reduced quality of the last few chapters of Skipper reflects that. They read like 'a day in the life of;'

GRANNY’S SONG

When I was a young girl, my granny held me on her knee
She used to tell me stories about our great country

Stories about the riggin’ men and the cowboys true
About the winters so cold, turn your fingers blue

She taught me right from wrong, to be good to everyone
And to never leave a chore alone, until it has been done

Sometimes I could ride a horse, or go in a pickup truck
I thought that nobody else had ever had such luck

She would sing of the river red, and how she would long
For the range, and her man, my granddaddy, who was so strong

Synopsis: A pregnancy simulator seems an ideal way of convincing Paul's wife that pregnancy is really not that bad, and they agree to try it on holiday on Seacombe Moor. But it's not just the jailbreak from Seacombe Prison that turns everything upside down for Paul. This story is complete but is being serialised in six chapters, to be released at approximately daily intervals.

This chapter touches but lightly on transgendered issues. But I have dwelt upon the thouroughly modern exploits of Akilah and Yusaf as they struggle to address the constrictions of traditionalist wahabism in britain. There won't be much more about their releationship except where it enters into the other story lines.

Lesley was convinced that as a woman she would never get promotion, and yet again she had been passed over for a less able man.

STRIP CLUB

The room is dark
The music loud
The audience is tense
A woman appears
Takes small steps

This chapter addresses cultural issues and cross-culture friendships. There is also a very interesting little twist. I hope you like it.
