My fingers grasped at objects that I hadn't seen in years.My fingers grasped at objects that I hadn't seen in years... I grabbed one and tossed it on the bed next to Teri. She shrieked in surprise, and laughed. I felt around some more, and brought out another toy. Then I brought down one whole box and dumped its contents on the floor next to the bed. Teri still had the camera on me as I approached her, and she kept up a running commentary on the action: "...and this fearless reporter will continue to cover the events as they unfold, regardless of the danger-- EEEEEEEE!!!!" The fearless reporter was smothered with kisses all over her face and body, and I snatched the camera and pointed it at her. She stretched out on the bed, and her face displayed defiance. "This reporter will not be frightened into giving up her story!" she declared firmly. I picked up the radio-controlled tank and put it on the bed, and held the camera on my shoulder with one hand while I operated the tank's controls with the other. The tank's treads moved in opposite direc- tions as the armored vehicle of destruction turned toward the prone body of the brave reporter. |
