Tales From The Basement

Moon Shadow seems pretty happy with life and she does even less than you, so maybe she's on to something. You sit down with Moon Shadow who looks even happier than she did before.

"So what is this path you speak of?"
"If you meditate with me, you may find out. This will be so nice, Ben never meditates with me anymore and I'm afraid Tommy is a bit too hyperactive to sit still for it."
"So what do I do?"
"Just sit across from me and cross your legs. Good, now stretch out your arms towards me so that we may hold hands. We shall hold hands the entire time so that we may feel our energies combining and let the positivity flow between us."
"Okay, now what?"
"Now close your eyes and contemplate you life as it was, as it is and as it can be. See the universe, be the universe. Touch the universe…"

While your eyes are closed you can definitely tell that Moon Shadow is maneuvering your hands towards her.

"Feel the majestic mountains. Their peaks so perfect and beautiful. You could just want to bury yourself in between them…"
"Uh…"
"Feel the plains below, smooth and tight. No doubt due to a good diet…"
"Hey…"
"Now follow further south and AH! FEEL the field of everlasting glory!"
"MOON SHADOW!" you say pulling your hands away.
"What's wrong I thought you wanted to meditate?" Moon Shadow says looking concerned.

"That wasn't meditation, that was you trying to shove my hand under your dress!"
"Oh you're right. I'm so sorry! I just…I'm just so lonely here and mostly everyone here is mean! I never see Ben anymore and I can't even leave because it wouldn't be right to take Tommy away from his dad. I feel so trapped! I guess when I saw you I thought…I oh, I dunno what I thought. (Sob)"

You sort of feel sorry for Moon Shadow, and you can sort of sympathize with her plight. You too feel a little trapped. While Moon Shadow might've been a little misguided in trying to make "friends" with you, you try to console her.

"Look Moon Shadow, you seem very nice, but you really caught me by surprise there. I mean I've never been with anyone before so this is all a bit weird for me. Not to mention you ARE with my brother. How would that look?"
"Oh, I don't place restrictions on such things. Never have. I believe if you have feelings for someone you should share them. And as far as Ben is concerned, he's so infatuated with his bunker he'd rather be raping the holes in mother Earth rather than entering mine."
"Hmm, well if you're horny couldn't you just go out and meet someone else for a few hours? I mean like you said Tommy's under watch by Ben. They probably wouldn't know you're even gone."
"Suzy, you misunderstand. I'm not some whore that just gives it up to anyone. I need to feel a spiritual connection with them first. Such things take time, but I felt it with you which is why I reached out. Didn't you feel it too?"
"Well I felt something…" you say looking at your hands.
"You say you're still a virgin? That is an awful long time to be one and I can't imagine why given how pretty you are. Don't you ever get urges?"
"Sure, that's why there are vibrators though."
"Oh Suzy, you are lost! No machine can ever compare to the touch of a real life human being. The tenderness and warmth…don't you wish to experience that?"
