It sure does look high, she thought, and they were, that is, if you considered fifty feet in the air to be high. No one’s fell...yet. “Ashleigh! Ashleigh, where are you?” Tom, Ashleigh’s ropes counselor called. “It’s your turn!” Ohh great, Ashleigh thought. “I’m coming, Tom! I’m right…

while he waits for her to arrive. Leaning his body against the gate he blows out a cloud of smoke thinking about her; since he was destined to have her. Taking another hit off his joint, he looks down the dark path to see her walking up the moon lit road. She was nervous, so she giggles" Pass that shit" holding her hand out while twirling her hips. Jamie smirks before handing the joint over to her "If it ain't green it ain't us" he repiled as he watches her lean against the gate next to…

It was a hot summer afternoon. I had been working all day. Normally I would be with a crew of 4 to 5 people all the same as the day before, but today was different today i was working with a whole new crew of men I had never seen in my life. It was especially weird when the guy in a all black suit pulled up.
