This choice: Herbert faints again, and when he wakes Jill is 5 years old. • Go Back...Chapter #5Down again! by: Gimlet   "Yes, Daddy should call you Jill." Herbert said, and his eyes glazed over and he toppled back into bed.
"Oh dear, humans seem to need an awful lot of rest. I wonder if Daddy is particularly exhausted or is the normal state of existence for human beings?"
*******
Herbert opened his eyes and saw another pair staring back at him.
"AARRGH!" he said, jumping back from the five year old girl leaning over him. As he forced himself up the bed he hit his head, then heard a thump from the other end of the bed.
"O... O... Owww!" comes the faltering, and rather surprised sounding melodic voice from the floor. "Oh it supposed to feel like this?"
Herbert sat up slowly and peered over the end of the bed to see the 5 year old (apparently) Jill naked on the floor holding her rump. It seems he surprised her and she fell off the bed.
"Oh Jill! I'm sorry!" Jumping off the bed he picked her up in his arms and held her tight against him.
"I... it still hurts, but I can see there are benefits..." she smiles up at you as you hold her tight. "perhaps I was right to allow myself to experience everything a normal girl does. I like this." She snuggles against your chest... your naked chest... Why are you naked?
"Hmm? Oh you seemed to need to sleep so I took your clothes and folded them for you. Mommy slept without clothes on before I left her... was that right?"
Oh boy! Wait a minute.
"How did you know that?"
Jill looks pained for a moment as you jerk against her bruised hip, then she peers into your eyes apologetically.
"I'm afraid I can't help it. You do shout rather a lot when you don't talk."
"What are you talking about?" she can't be meaning she reads minds?
"Well yes, but normally I don't. It's not polite... unless it's REALLY important. But I'm afraid when you think hard like that I just can't help hearing it."
Think hard? Oh, thinking to myself like this!
"Yes, exactly. Sorry, it's just too loud to tune out. Um, you're not going to go to sleep again are you? It's just, if you do it now... I... don't think I'd like the sensations of falling from here."
"I guess I should put you down then." Herbert says.
"I... I'd rather you didn't. I really like this. Mommy tried to do this too, but she was screaming in her head the whole time, and whenever I answered her she started shouting over the top of whatever I said. I think that was when I decided to leave really."
Herbert has a god-like little naked girl, curled in his arms. Probably something definitely Freudian there... best think of something else. Hmm, like maybe getting clothes on! It's cold in here.
"Oh, I can fix that. Is that why you where those things? Silly." Suddenly the room gets brighter slightly. "There you go, didn't want to do too much so went for a small fix. Should heat up in a little bit."
Turning Herbert looks out the window. Is it really lighter out? Wait, the sun, is it... BIGGER?
"Hmm? Oh of course not! enlarging the sun would take a lot of alteration in the laws of physics." Oh that's a relief! She has some limits at least! "Well, no, I just thought it was best to start small. So I just moved Earth closer to the sun. The room will heat up nicely soon."   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
