For those of you who think it would be cruel and unusual punishment to wait for part 2 of this story (Yes I’m looking at both of you!) I’ve decided to post part 2 already today. For those of you unfamiliar with this story a part 2 usually signifies that there is a part 1. Not always but this time it does. You will be less confused if you read part 1 first.

The flight “home” had been pure purgatory for Chrysanthemum Daisy. Why had his parents bought “unaccompanied minor” status for him? For Cripes’ sake he was a high school student. Well, almost anyway. And to add insult to injury he had grown out of his middle school graduation suit (it had been on the small side already before) that he had arrived to camp in so he had had to wear his dress instead. Ok ONE of them. The first one, not the more daring one. So it was Miss Daisy here and Miss Daisy there. They were driving Miss Daisy out of her, sorry, his mind.

Chris was just an ordinary middle school boy. Just above medium height for boys. A bit on the skinny side but with well-toned gymnast muscles. Yes, Chris was a gymnast. A fairly good one that made the school team but didn’t excel. Still, he loved gymnastics His hair was a golden blond that he usually kept shortish. He was rather bright and worked hard so he had good grades but wasn’t ranked as one of the real top students. No, there was really nothing special about Chris, except he had no friends. Chris and his parents couldn’t understand why. He was not a recluse by nature.

This is a story I did a few years ago and posted on Sapphire's. It's an attempt at Science Fiction and Adventure. At the time I wrote it, I had never read any of the Gor books. Now that I have, I'm surprised at some of the similarities.

The story is about Bill, who, through a travesty of justice gets involved with a dying boy. With the help of the boy's late uncle's writings, Bill is pulled into a strange, savage world.

Jenna took her place, unsure of what she was about to receive. Tichiba did not keep her in suspense long. “Jenna…I have done you a grave injustice. If you wish an apology, I am witch enough to give it. As I told the girls, you may speak freely and without fear. You may ask anything, even for your mate to be healed as the girls did.

Samantha, like the rest of the witches did not miss the implication of Cathleen's words. “Jenna, what's wrong with Rick?”

“Her mate is dying of a mortal illness called cancer”, Cassandra answered for her

“Oh no Jenna, I thought he was in remission.”

Jenna stepped forward. “He was, but it came back and this time treatment’s not an option. They're saying six months, possibly a year, which is one of the reasons we opened the toy store. He wanted to be around kids and share a little joy for as long as we could.”

Tichiba finally addressed Becky and Cathleen. “I suppose you two would like to remain in these bodies that Tabitha has given you and…I also suppose you wish to live with Jenna and her husband as their children?”

Cathleen first looked to Becky who smiled and nodded before they addressed the Queen in unison. “Yes please.”

“Enchantra, be quiet!”Hagatha warned her.

“Samantha my dear”, Tichiba sought to soothe Samantha's ruffled feathers. “It’s all a moot point now. Jenna is the last daughter of the Stewart house. The curse ends here.”

“Does it?”. Samantha pulled her daughter toward her. “What about Tabitha? After I’m gone will she get a locket and a curse? Will she be the next example, the next sacrifice for the good of all witches?”

Cassandra nodded in agreement. “I did say at the time I thought the curse was too strong a measure.”

Tichiba however, did not share their remorse. “Strong measures were needed then or maybe you two have forgotten Salem and the rest of our sisters who lost their lives at the hands of mortals?”

“Now Samantha”, Tichiba softened her tone. “You’re different. We still have faith you will come to your senses and leave this ummm…what was his name? Darius?”

“Dagwood”, Endora incorrectly corrected her.

The laptop screen casts a blue pall over Caden's hands as he scrolls through endless grids of sports bras — women in mid-stride, frozen in athletic poses, all of them grinning with their hands on their hips like this is some kind of victory. His fingers hesitate over the trackpad. None of these are designed for someone who still lifts weights but needs to strap down what shouldn't be there in the first place.

Morning light finds him asleep in his clothes, barely rested. He packs both devices into his messenger bag and heads for the closest repair shop.

The bell jingles as he enters. A technician glances up from behind the counter — early twenties, a name tag reading ETHAN. His eyes skim past Caden's shoulders, landing somewhere around chin level. "Help you, ma'am?"

Caden's breath hitches. He sets the laptop and phone on the counter.

"Sir," he says, his pitch higher than expected, higher than a man's should be. He coughs, tries again. "Biometric lockout."
