Chapter Sixteen – Expressions
August 6, 2009 by speckypeck
I’m only as old as I choose to feel.
There is no need to be despondent. After all, I am a successful creature-robot cross breeder held in high regard by my fellow colleagues. I have also managed to accumulate a substantial fortune in my account. A person in my position has a world of adventure just waiting, beckoning.
I decide to join the gym to revitalize my fading physique. I’m not dead yet.
I meet Sandi French at the gym. She introduces herself to me. Sandi works at City Hall in the cubicles of bylaws and consents but hopes to further her career to the realms of influence and authority someday. I feel her passion for politics as she shares her ideals on the building of a better nation. Sandi mentions she has heard of my groundbreaking research and admits she is impressed. We get to know one another better.
She has wisdom beyond her years. Sandi beguiles me with her charm and striking figure.
I believe she likes me too.
Sandi has a young son named Jeffrey. She tells me Jeffrey’s father left them not long after he was born. Finding herself in a desperate situation of raising a child alone without support from anyone, Sandi recollects descending into hopelessness. It was through tear-drenched determination that Sandi says she was able to claw her way above depravity and despair, vowing never to return to such depths again.
I tell Sandi that she need never fear of a life without hope ever again. I will be here to care and protect her. My love will enfold her with peace. Confessing my affections for Sandi, I ask her to marry me.
Sandi says yes. I have found love again! We marry immediately like love-struck teens caught up in the excitement. I haven’t even told Adam yet!
I call Adam and tell him to meet me at Old Pier Beach, there’s some wonderful news to share.
I can’t wait to see his expression.
To be continued…

Oh Oh!
I like this chapter, though. It’s nice that he recovered and decided not to let the loss of his wife bring him down.
Hmm, I wonder if Adam knows something about Sandi his dad doesn’t? That expression on his face is priceless.
Ha! Family discord is on the way!
OMG Andy is not going to like this!
Your legacy is amazing… I am bookmarking it so I can come back and read up on what happens next
Your legacy is breathtaking. I’m going to add it to my Livin’ Sim blogroll.
lol, what a great reaction from Adam!
I wonder what’s going to happen next…
Oh, dear! Judging by the expression on Adam’s face (nice capture, by the way) I’d say he’s not going to meet his father’s news with good-will.
So enjoying this!
