&lt;p&gt;I was already entered in the swimming race, so all I had to do was show up and get a number. Since there were too many of us to assign one to each lane, they just painted a big number on our backs and told us to not drown each other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There were about fifty or so of us in the race. At least, the highest number I saw was fifty-three. With that many in the pool turning around for the second half of the lap gets really interesting. Basically you have to take a really deep breath and then swim under water until you are clear of everyone coming toward you and you can come to the surface. Then you swim like hell until you reach the other end and do the same thing all over again.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ye Olde Water Faire</title><link>/stories/2021/01/07/ye-olde-water-faire/</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2021/01/07/ye-olde-water-faire/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="event-2-the-carousel"&gt;Event 2: The Carousel&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Slave puta ran ahead of us to the Carousel. When we got there, Master went up to Herr Dunkler and handed him an envelope. The Dark Lord– that’s what Dunklermeister, his full name, means– The Dark Lord held it in his hand for a moment and then said with a smile. “I know that you aren’t planning on buying any of my major offerings this year. Why don’t I allow your slave to ride on the Carousel and the Ferris Wheel for free this year and we will call it even?”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Dream Weaver: Origins and Dreams - The Third Dream</title><link>/stories/2013/04/16/dream-weaver-origins-and-dreams-the-third-dream/</link><pubDate>Tue, 16 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/04/16/dream-weaver-origins-and-dreams-the-third-dream/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="dreamweaver02.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dream Weaver: Origins and Dreams&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dream Weaver: Origins and Dreams&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2: The Third Dream&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If Laura had looked uncomfortable going to bed in her basic underwear the first night I met her, than that third night she&amp;rsquo;d looked positively pained sleeping in an oversized t-shirt and boy-shorts. She also made a request that I not take part in her dream, I could watch if I wanted, but she didn&amp;rsquo;t feel comfortable with me being a part of it. I wasn&amp;rsquo;t going to pass up the opportunity to watch though, so when she fell asleep I triggered the spell.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Tiger in the Night</title><link>/stories/2009/06/04/the-tiger-in-the-night/</link><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2009/06/04/the-tiger-in-the-night/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The Autumn Carnival was coming! Games and rides and acrobats and animals and smoke and mirrors allure between the shadows and the light. Mark and Sara wandered through the attractions, arm in arm, aimless and happy in love.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Come see! Come see! Come see the animal people!” cried a lady, weather-faced, a smile that promising summer days and eyes black as winter’s night. They looked across to the large tent at the edge of the main carnival where she was standing.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
