2397 She stood in the middle of the living area of her new apartment infront of the tele-viewer talking with Marijuana about what she had done just 24 hours ago. Sold the Whale to Hennesy for everything he owned. His life savings. Of course she could have gotten more if she sold to someone else but, it wouldn't have meant as much to anyone else. They chatted a bit longer, then said their goodbyes. Pushing herself round and around until she was dizzy ,then plopped herself down on the bare floor. She sat there laughing ,tears running down her face. A painful sob made it's way up her throat and the hick-ups began. She thought she would never be able to go back. Not to the Whale or Hennesy or the way things used to be just 24 hours ago. Reborn is what it felt like. A chance to go forward and evolve into a complete, normal person.
Her mom had helped her find this place and introduced her to people who could help her with the project she had in mind. Her mom believed in her. She hoped that her dad did too. She could almost always count on their support but, not on their approval.
Aiden, he was 4 now. He kept both mom and dad on their toes. Po' felt Aiden was much more of a handful than she had been.
