Anna, she's sitting on my chest, opening my jeans.

Laura grabbed the phone. "Listen sis, I'm going to be a little busy here for the rest of the evening. I've got my cell phone turned off, and after what mom did to me the other night, she can bang on the door until hell freezes over, and I'm not letting her in.

Enjoy Cloudy, have you set up your wedding date yet? I think you better get to it baby girl. I don't want both of us to show up at your wedding, and only one of us to be pregnant. Love you, Anna. Goodbye."

Laura looked at Adam with one arm out of his shirt and the rest of his body still in. One boot partially removed. The belt on his jeans opened.

"You didn't lie or overstate one thing. You told the truth straight down the line. I was taking off your shirt. I was removing your boot. I was opening your jeans. That is exactly what I did. When my sister tells my mother what I was doing, she is going to go nuclear."

"All women are insane."

Laura kissed Adam's lips. "Possibly, but we are worth it."

There Must Be A Mistake

By

Prolonged_Debut10

Note: Hello again, I don't remember if the saying is 'Life imitates art, or Art imitates life, but what I will tell you is what I portrayed Doctor Even Luck going through at MD Anderson Hospital in Houston doesn't even touch the surface of what goes on there. How the staff of that hospital can work there every day, and keep such a positive attitude about life is beyond my comprehension. I'm only one of their patients, and during the week there must be 700 of us on an inpatient basis. I am on furlough now for three weeks, then I go back for another round. No one in our wing complains about hospital food. All we get to eat are ice cream shakes, sherbet's, and anything else we can keep down that will keep our weight up. I had a good line to put here, but I decided against it. It was too maudlin. PD10/ Bob

Great story. I do have an issue with all the mistakes with the right word. She didn’t go into a “close store” she went into a cloths store. Just one example.

Get well soon.

Bob, I could say that I know what you are going through, but even though I had Colon Cancer I do not know what you are going through. I was lucky by having a great Surgeon that got all of my cancer the first time, which meant no Chemo or radiation. Hang in there and do as your Doctors & Nurses tell you to do. I have really enjoyed all of your stories and looking forward for when you are able to submit your next chapter.

I had first read this story, and have since read your others here, then just re-read this one.

Doing this allowed me to understand the interwoven story lines, and better comprehend how the characters came to be. This made it all the better in the second reading.

You've done good work, and I hope that your medical situation resolves in a manner that allows you to continue writing. Whenever you can, I will be eagerly awaiting your efforts.

I am leaving Wednesday, March 18.

Hello everyone; I want to thank you for all your wonderful comments, and correct criticisms. It is the only way my writing will get better; as long as I do.

When I asked the agent why they were moving me up the list now, when I pleaded with them to do it, when I was physically there, the agent simply said, "There was a change in the status for three of our patients."

I laughed, and said, "Leave it to a hospital to come up with a way to circumvent telling you that several patients have passes away."

"Mister Giardino, I don't make the rules, I have to follow them."

"Oh Well; You can't win them all."

I am 39 pages into Chapter 25. If I can get up to at least 80 pages, I will submit it for your reading pleasure. If I don't, you are going to be waiting a long time for the chapter to come out, for your reading pleasure.

Please bear with me. Bob (Prolonged_Debut10)

Just read through this story in the past day. As an old sci-fi buff, I've really enjoyed it. The overall feel reminds me of RAH, whose work I've always loved.

Your work here is well done, thank you for it.

As for life's curve balls, know that I hope the best possible outcome for you.

When you're ready, I look forward to more from you.

ps. As a very minor thing: I noticed some minor editing misses along the way (conscience instead of conscious, sites instead of sights, etc). If you get really really bored during your treatments, tweaking these might be something to take your mind off of things. ☺

Great Story as Usual

Glad to hear you made it through your first round OK, keep the faith and all will go good. I have two cancer survivors in my family, my wife (2 yrs) and my mom (42 yrs).

Really enjoying the story line and can't wait for the next installment.

I was lucky to avoid chemo, only had radiation treatments (20). Just passed a year cancer free. Do not give up. And yes, the professionals that treat cancer are mind boggling in how they can do the work they do and still remain compassionate and caring.

Good luck, no pun intended.

Major error - affecting suspension of disbelief

While I still love the story series, this chapter's abuse of the laws of motion broke, nay shattered, my suspension of disbelief completely.

A few facts: 1500Mph = 670.56 m/s 1G = 9.8m/s/s to go from 670.56 m/s to 0 (or vice-versa) in 0.5 sec would generate a force of 1341.12 m/s/s or about 136Gs (in a LATERAL vector). Everyone aboard would be dead of severe internal trauma from the intertia alone (since I don't recall the invention/installation of floor, ceiling, & wall-mounted inertial stabilizers/dampeners in the story - unless my memory fails me here - and if intertial stabilizers/dampeners were in place and operating properly, then nobody's bodies should have experienced ANY sort of slam into their safety harnesses).

In addition - such high-speed (mach 2+) maneuvers could never be done with the mickey mouse ears extended - the drag forces alone would shear them off their structural members - to say nothing of the damage from such severe G forces during acceleration/deceleration. The mouse ears would absolutely have to have been retracted during any such high-speed mach-plus atmospheric maneuvers!

So, while I found this chapter entertaining, I found it ultimately highly disappointing. None of the bridge crew would have made these mistakes - they are too smart for that!

Happy to Find Out You Are Doing Okay!

Hi, Bob.

It's nice that the ship finally took its first test flight. It has been a long time coming. Nothing ever goes completely right the first time, that is why they are called "Shakedown Cruises." I went through a lot of them when I was in the Navy. I never liked them because of the many hours spent afterwards making all the corrections, but they are a necessary evil.

I'm going to miss the Vice President and his attempts to sabotage the program. But he needed to be done away with and the manner it was done was handled very well. You have a lot of knowledge about a lot of things and I admire that. My wife is in awe by the amounts of trivia that I have locked in my brain. I told her that if she had read as much as I did while I was growing up she would be a walking encyclopedia, too.

I like the Schiff lad but, it seems to me, there are so many characters in this story that are just too good to be true. Even people with the best intentions have something to hide. Most normal people are not as honest as those portrayed here, and those of us that are usually get the short end of the stick because, on the whole, mankind does not trust honesty--I know from experience.

Anyway, I'm glad you are still putting words to paper. I know you are not feeling your best but we hope that, at least, our kind words are some comfort for what you are going through. Do whatever they tell you to do so that you get better, even though that is selfish on my part. It really makes my whole day when I see that there is another installment of "There Must Be a Mistake." So, take care, Bob, and we'll see you at the next go-round.

Roger.
