《Humanity’s Next Steps》We’re Supposed to Enjoy Life
Advertisement
April Simmons, 34 years old, entered the attic of her late father to clean up his house in preparation for its sale.
Her husband Darren, 38 years old, assisted her, dusting off a large trunk and opening it as it creaked.
"Hey, April,” Darren coughed from the cloud of dust, “check this out."
"Oh wow! Nice find! I wonder if they're worth anything."
"You mean like antiques?"
She nodded.
Darren lifted one of the mathematics textbooks and flipped through its pages. "One of his instruction books?"
"Looks like it, before he and all the other teachers were forced to retire early."
"Oh, right." Darren shrugged. "A dead profession … Check this out. Can you solve any of these?"
“Heck no!” April shook her head. "No one does math or anything like that anymore. We’ve got the Central Unit and our neural implants for that sort of boring stuff. We're supposed to enjoy life."
"Right, right." Darren smiled. "It sure must've been a real struggle back then."
He slammed the trunk closed.

# Gaea 2 - Light of the Shadow
Suddenly unable to think straight, she allowed her hand to run through his dark, long hair, and squeezed it as she felt his hot searing breath against the aching skin of her neck.“I’m sorry for what I’ve done to you …” he whispered and Sarah shuddered when soft lips touched her skin right where her pulse beat stronger.Images of him licking her blood filled her mind and her heart beat even faster, even though she was aware that he could easily feel it as well. She shivered when he took a deep breath, as if he were trying to absorb the scent of her skin, and his soft lips kissed her gently, one, two, three times, as he traced the line of her neck staling her breath away. * If you want to know more about this book or simply access earlier updates, please visit the official site at http://carpersanti.net/gaea/
