So I'm getting to the meat of things and now its getting difficult again.  On top of being the second week slumps, I'm getting to that point where the moment is starting and I'm getting nervous.  Its kind of like the roller-coaster slowly heading up the hill and the apex is coming and then its all screaming and freaking it out. 

...whee.....?
If you don't know me well you should know, I don't like roller-coasters.  They freak me out.  The sense of falling is one part of it and the other is having no control over anything - its all out of my hands.  I suppose that is telling isn't it? 

Well yeah, so I'm having trepidation about the days ahead, because I have a feeling they are definitely going to be free-falling and I will be gripping tightly for dear life and not have a damn clue what the hell I'm doing.

Okay... well... here is your excerpt for today:

"There's more… I mean, of course there is because that doesn't explain anything…  But you have to believe me about all of this!" Gabe said desperately.

Samantha stared at him for a long while, not sure what to say.  The two men were staring back at her, obviously waiting for her reaction, her response, for her to explode or faint or something in the face of the news she'd been given.  She honestly could feel her brain seize up completely, like a computer that couldn't calculate the information and had the blue screen of death flashing up there.  It was pretty ludicrous, but she couldn't think of a reason for him to lie, but if it was true, what the hell did that mean?  Something burbled in her throat and she thought she was going to throw up, but instead of bile, all that came out of her mouth was a burst of hysterical laughter that she had no way of stopping.

"My dear friend, I do believe you have broken her."

"Shut up Anapa!"
