Indeed Annie had a spell over me. However, I held the ace in the deck - my sketchbook. She laid in the grass in several coy poses. She untied the silk band and removed it from her hair allowing her curls to fall in front of her dark eyes. My pencil moved quickly over the paper capturing as many poses as possible, each pose becoming a bit more intimate with time.
We spoke very little. There was no need for speech. We understood the moment perfectly and allowed our eyes and body language to convey our feelings for each other…

While we wait for Kills next installment in his romance novel, I will finally lead up to my outhouse story.
Part 1. Snake Phobia
My freshman year at Mizzou, the Psych Dept advertised for students willing to take part in Phobia Research. The intent was to see if they could erase or at least mollify one's fear of snakes. They would even pay good money to the participants. I wanted the money, and had more than ample up close and personal rational reasons to fear snakes. My snake encounters are a legendary part of my family folklore. The expression "snake bit," would fit me perfectly, except by some miraculous intervention, I somehow, avoided actually being bit.
I had to interview for the psych guinea pig position, as many students also wanted to pick up some extra easy cash. I related my close encounters with a few copperheads, one blue racer, one diamondback rattler and numerous innocuous snakes, black snakes, in particular. By the time I was through sharing my history, between the tender ages of 6 and 8, even the panel of interviewers agreed that my fear might not be irrational. I was to become their star pupil and greatest challenge!
