Lessons in the Sky

Annabelle grinned, the shirt sliding from her shoulders to reveal twin coral mounds.

"Nothin' like white lightnin' to get a man's blood up, that's what Gate' always says. C'mon darlin' ... just take a sip ... it only burns a little the first time, I promise."

She wiggled the mason jar under her nose and waited for her response.
 
Ok, one sip. I sniffed it first. The smell hit me so hard, myt eyes teared immediately. I swore I got drunk from it already! Holding my breath, I held my head back while I tilted the jar to my lips. BURRRNNNNNN!!!!!! OH MY GOD......... My mouth is burning.

"Yer gotta swallow girlie."

"Sheezzz, city folks."

I swallowed, the burn traveled down my throat into my stomach. All of a sudden, my body turned numb. I couldn't feel my fingers or toes. Even though I was sitting, the room started spinning. Thank goodness, Thor was next to me holding me up.

Why is the room spinning so fast.....

I feel sick......

Blackness.
 
"Oh my, Sweet Pea, look...she done passed out!"
Big Jack sat on the bed beside her, reached over and popped all the buttons off her shirt in one swift move.

"That's right darlin' the poor gal needs some breathin'room...My my just looka them titties...they pretty as mine Gate?"

Thor, who's eyes had been rivited on Sweet Bees agressive hooters, suddenly looked down to see Mandy's magnificent pair thrusting upward and about to become sweet candy in Jack's
hungry mouth.

"Hey WAIT!"
Thor Jumped up...

"Hold on City Feller, why don't you mosey over here and taste some Southern pralines."
Annibelle held her breast up invitingly with one hand, and cocked the hammers of the ancient double barrell 12 guage with the other.
 
Thor - the instructor

........Mandy passed out, this...this, whatever having ripped her shirt off and exposed her breasts....I felt trapped, especially when this cretin offered his 'friend.'

Then it happened. I heard the faint roar of what sounded like at least two airboats. The ELT that I pulled out of the tail and stuck in my pocket must have finally brought help.

"Either there is a new sawmill somewhere, or you better set the table for more company." My eyes caught both of theirs and I waited - as the sounds got closer.
 
Coming to...I hear a strange sound nearing us. I look up to find Gatorman and Thor eyeing each other. Why does Annibelle have a gun? I look down to find my blouse ripped apart and my breasts exposed for all to see.

Feeling the strange vibrations in the air, I sat up immediately, What's going on???

Thor wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my hair...It's ok...you just passed out. We'll be home soon....

For some reason, his voice wasn't convincing....
 
Big Jack walked over to the window and raised the yellowed shade.

"Well look at that Sweet Pea, it's cousin Travis come t'call. He must bought that ol rig of Moccasin Pete's...Can't tell who's with em though."

Jack grinned at Thor and Mandy.

"Hey folks, looks like we gonna have us a party!"
He pulled an AK47 from behind the bed and walked to the door, pinching Mandy's breast as he went by.

"Be patient darlin' I'll be right back."
 
Annabelle

Annabelle slid the shirt back up over her shoulders, but only bothered to button one middle button. She followed Gate, pinching his rear end as he walked out the door. She lounged in the doorway, knowing full well that Travis would come bounding up to see her sooner or later.

As she waited for ... come to think of it she couldn't remember if he was her cousin or Gate's ... regardless, as she waited, she watched the large span of her husband's back. These city folk weren't being too cooperative, and she had a hankerin' for a real good lay. Sighing, she folded her arms across her chest and smiled. Well, they'd just see who'd come along with Trav, and if none of them looked tasty enough, she knew she could always count on Big Gate to see to her needs.
 
Thor - the instructor

"We need to get out of here. These people will kill us." I whispered as I gripped Mandy's hand and sidled toward the corner of the room. I reached behing the bed in the same spot I noticed the cretin got some sort of automatic rifle. My hand encountered cold steel. Silently, I pulled a scoped rifle from behind the bed. These people had enough firepower to start a small war. I handed the rifle to Mandy (after checking to see the magazine was loaded) and stole silently to the door. The animal had gone outside and his woman was lounging in the doorway. A quick blow of my fist at the base of her skull (a special forces technique - who said Thor was a wuss?), and she dropped back into my arms...out like a light. I dragged her back into the room and looked warily at the door - nothing. Gripping Mandy's tiny hand in mine, I pulled her to the open window of the shack.

"Lets go before he comes back. If that is not our rescuers, we need to get out of here."
 
Mandy

With a powerful force, Thor was able to push the window off it's sill. He lifted me over the ledge as if I was a leaf and out the window I jumped. I was praying nobody could hear us, especially my heart.

As soon as Thor landed next to me, he grabbed my hand and through the swamps we ran....
 
Thor - the instructor

THe dim lights of the shack dimmed as we sloshed through the shallow water. Heaven help us if we rousted a 'gator or stepped on a snake. I took the rifle from Mandy and held her other hand tightly. We needed to put some more distance between us and the swamp people.....at least I was armed, and I was a crack shot. My special forces training might come in handy once again.
 
Oh my god! I can't believe what we're running through. Mud, weeds and god knows what creature. And the heat! Running in silence, my shirt flying from the lost buttons, I felt the perspiration dripping from my forehead down my body.

I looked back, and noticed the shack was out of sight. I was feeling the cramps forming in my stomach. Breathing hard, I begged to Thor, Can we slow down, please?
 
Thor - the instructor

She was tougher than she looked, but we did need to rest soon. "Just a few minutes more, Mandy, at least until we find some dry land."

I may be wrong, but I think we are headed back toward the abandoned airstrip........
 
Mandy

I wonder if Thor knew his way out of the swamps. As we looked around, it seemed like we were surrounded my miles of swampland.

Trusting his instincts, I allowed Thor guide me through the swampy waters. By this time, the sun was beating down our necks. My eyes were burning as sweat poured down like a faucet. I had to squeeze my eyes to remove the salty sweat away.

Watch out!Thor yelled as he grabbed his knife.
 
Thor - the instructor

I was making my way through the shallow swamp water, holding Mandy's hand when I saw a motion out of the corner of my eye. I did not want to risk a shot that those cretins might hear, so I silently slid the bowie knife that I picked up in the cabin out of its sheath. I turned, pushing Mandy behind me. In the shadows I saw a rare Florida panther. They are usually shy around people...this one must either be very hungry or has developed a taste for humans...a shudder ran down my spine. Then my special forces training cut in. I started to walk slowly backward, away from the medium sized cat. You never run.....
 
Mandy

His arm around me, I followed his lead and walked backwards. Following his eyes, I saw what caused him to grab his knife. Staring at us was a pair of glowing yellow eyes, belonging to a magnificent creature.

I couldn't help myself and gasped, causing this oversized cat to purr. His oval eyes blinked a few times...
 
Thor - the instructor

....five yards...ten.......twenty......and still the cat just watched. After putting several hundred yards between us and the cat, I turned and walked briskly North.....I was sure that the strip was that way. "Mandy, look, see the tail of our plane? Maybe I can fix whatever took us down."

I hurried along, knowing that the small cabin would protect her from the flora and fauna. I had a thought while I was in the swamp....if I clean the fuel intake, perhaps I can get it running.....
 
Mandy

Wild thoughts were running through my mind now! This man was a God. First, he makes sweet love to me. Then he saves me from being raped by a pair of SwampThings. And then, he boldly walks away from a panther with oversized teeth. And now, he can fix the plane????

If he can get us out of here, I will always be in debt to this man. This man will always be a God in my mind!

Seeing the tale of the plane and his words recharged me. My pace matched his..
 
Thor - the instructor (and god)

I picked Mandy up and sat her on the wing......now, what to do. I followed my instincts and cleaned the intake filter.....it did have a good deal of dirt. I climbed into the cockpit and beconed for Mandy....if it started, we wanted to be long gone.

There was still some battery life.....err,err,errrrrrrrrr, and then it fired! The little four banger was roaring like a medium twin. After testing the mags, I pushed the throttle forward.....and we bounced down the rough strip. We were airborne, and away from what might have seemed like a dream.
 
I bow down to Thor, my god

Away we were, up in the sky, bading good riddance to the nightmare below.

But, I still worry of the plane. Will the engine fail again? If it did, would Thor be able to land it safely so we don't meet our fate?

I turned to Thor to ask him these questions. But the concentrated look in his eyes, told me to keep my tongue in place.

Still, I couldn't resist...Can I fly it Thor?
 
Thor - the instructor

Can I fly it Thor? I trimmed the little plane for level flight at 3500', heading due west. Then I lifted my hands off the controls and said, "Your plane, Mandy"

I was waiting to see her reaction.....and fully prepared to take over....
 
Mandy

I couldn't believe my ears when he released the controls. I meant it as a joke and thought he did too. But when the plane started plumenting, I grabbed the controls and leveled her off.

Feeling refreshed and exhilirated, I kept my eyes on the controls. But, through my periphial vision, I noticed Thor's intense blue eyes gazing over my body.

After a few minutes of silence, I heard him announce, "We're almost home..."
 
Thor - the instructor

"We're almost home..."

My words are prophetic....... Then the airport loomed in the windscreen. I glanced at Mandy...and instead of taking the controls, I leaned over and kissed her on the cheek......
 
His spontanity stunned me. It also warmed my body. I flashed him a smile showing my appreciation.

The landing strip below saddened me. Where do we go from here, I wonder. Do I just thank him for saving my life and drive away?
