(do you have any idea how much completely worthless stuff accumulates in 15 years when you tend to look at things and think that some time you're going to fix it and maybe use it again? -- which never happens, by-the-by.) Yes. I know *exactly* how that goes. And if Amy Nanni finds herself too busy to type for you, please give me a shout. I'd be happy to help.  PJ
"You told me you weren't like other men," she said, shaking her head at him when the storm of laughter had passed.
He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

Part 6 John shook his head. "Not now. If we're lucky, maybe we'll meet the Underground again someday, but right now we have to lie low. Eric was great, though. He gave them a real run for their money. I'll tell you all about it when you're better." So do they ever get picked up by the Underground? Janine

Good resolution. Does Eric ever find out that they are alive?
Thanks for taking the time to post.

Eric hadn't found out by the time Linda and I wrote the last story, but you can figure that after "Revolt!" he would have, because Mr. and Mrs. Vogleman could come out of hiding and get in contact with the Terran government. Who knows. Someday I may write a story where they meet again.

What a great story. Good that Sam redeemed himself in the end. I loved the charging elephant bit; LOL. And little Molly and her kitten was quite touching. Very glad to see that Eric and Elizabeth's parents are alive, but wish that they could have a way to let him know. Tania

Nan, I'm ready to work on converting the next story from scan to text when you are.  I enjoyed the little additions you made to this one. Look forward to your next story (L&C or TU). Amy N.

Thanks for all the comments. It's nice to know that people enjoy what Linda and I wrote such a long time ago. Welcome Tania, I'm always pleased when I find out that someone new is reading. Check out Mr. D8a's posting of our Timeline for links to all the stories currently available.
Amy, I'll be sending you the first parts of "Empath" as soon as my daughter has time to bring her scanner over and start scanning the story. I warn you, it's considerably longer than "Awakenings".
Thanks, everyone,
Nan

Can't wait to read the rest of this story. I have it downloaded and it is just waiting for the printer.
as to accumulating stuff...This October Mom will have been gone for 2 years. We are still going through her stuff! Dad got us a moving van so that we could take his freezer. Since it was a 15 footer, we decided to put as much stuff as possible in it. We loaded 200+ garments and 15 4ft X 2.5ft X 2.5ft plastic tote boxes...and we could have filled up another two trucks!
Mom liked buying things on sale, with the intention of giving them to people, at some point. My old room and my sister's old room were filled to above 5 feet!
She also liked cutting out things and making photocopies of them. We found one box filled with originals and another box next to it filled with the copies of the first box! She should have had a job with the Government!!!

Just finished...WOW! What an ending. Glad Sam came around and I am glad that Eric's Mom and Dad are all right.
I am assuming that they eventually meet up again?
And longer is always fine with me.
