By four o'clock I was very glad I had purchased the biggest set they had.By four o'clock I was very glad I had purchased the biggest set they had. If filled about half of the living room floor and it kept us busy. By evening Rafael was showing visible signs of being tired. He was still in a lot of pain and I had given him pills both at breakfast and lunch. I expected that the constant pain in his smashed testicles was beginning to wear him down. There wasn't much that I could do except try to keep his mind off what had been done to him and the ever-present ache in his groin. I stopped the game shortly after six and made Rafael lie down on the couch and take it easy. He watched the local news on television while I fixed dinner. I knew what he was looking for and I kept my own ears tuned for the announcement about someone finding the naked body of a little girl. Nothing yet! I wondered how long it would take. I would need to do something sooner ot later. After dinner Rafael and I went into his bedroom and he read from 'Treasure Island' while I put his new clothes away in the closet. By eight o'clock Rafael seemed to be feeling a bit better and I suggested that we go for a swim. I thought that the cool water in the pool might help to relieve some of the pain in the boy's body as well as get some of the stiffness out of me. |
