Dave sighed as he carried the last box out of the moving van, he turned to stare at his new house, the two-storey home was more than large enough for its two occupants, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms numerous amenities and a several thousand foot backyard it was an excellent property. Sighing he hefted the box he was carrying and walked back in, the little 20 pound box doing little to tire his 5'9 160lb frame. Placing it down on the floor he took a moment to run his hand through his short black hair as he examined his bedroom...the words seemed to haunt him as they echoed in his mind. While this wasn't the home they had owned together it still affected him, for 16 years it had been their bedroom through good times and bad. When he caught that bad bout of pneumonia, the raise, and most importantly the day they had consummated their marriage vows and led to the birth of their son. "Oh Eleanor..." Dave muttered several, stray tears leaking out although he quickly wiped them away, he had to be strong not only for his sake but for Jim's as well.
"Hey Dad I'm going out" Dave turned at the sound of the voice, Jim his pride and joy. He was the one good thing that had come out of this whole fiasco, he had expected to fight tooth and nail with not only his wife but the judge to gain custody of his son. She had cheated on him, been the one who filed for the divorce she had no right to him, and thankfully the judge agreed. In return she had gotten the house prompting the move in the first place.
"Furtown..." he muttered under his breath, when he had first heard of the place it seemed too good to be true, a major metropolitan area with cheap taxes, a near perfect harmony of nature and technology, cheap property and he had been able to find work in his field of study within days of beginning a search. As the two of them had driven into town though they realized something was...off about it. This became apparent when they passed a woman walking down the street. The woman was a drop dead knock-out and Dave hated to admit that his attention strayed from the road as they passed her. Large firm breasts, beautiful russet red hair, long slender legs, tight firm ass all covered in a luxurious...coat..of...orange...fur. He almost swerved and hit a lamppost as she bent over revealing not only her ass but a several foot long bushy orange tail with a white tip. Jim thankfully was a heavy sleeper and the swerving Dave had to do to correct his mistake wasn't even enough to wake him but Dave had to wonder if it wouldn't have been better for his son to wake up at that moment.
"Just a minute I'll be right down" Dave replied before quickly making his way downstairs. Jim stood near the front door, dressed in his usual black t-shirt, and jeans, Dave couldn't help but smile as he stared at his son, the spitting image of his father...if he was 6'2, 50 pounds heavier and those 50 pounds were pure muscle. Jim was looking around like an animal trapped in a cage and Dave couldn't help but sigh to himself as he walked up and clapped Jim on the shoulder "you want to go out and explore right?"
"Y-yeah..." Jim replied hesitantly "it's not like I don't mind spending time with you dad and I know we just got here but.."
"You need some time to yourself?" Dave replied. He knew Jim hadn't had much time to really digest everything, the divorce had finished surprisingly quickly as had the purchase of the house so he was sure he still had some issues he had to face. "You can go out and explore just...be careful alright, I know you're 15 but you're all I have left" Dave replied. To his surprise Jim leapt forward wrapping him up in a tight hug.
"I know Dad, I know" Dave gently hugged his son before letting him go and giving him a light push towards the door. "I want you home in time for supper"
"Yeah Dad, I know" Jim replied a small smile on his face as he ran out the door leaving Dave alone.
"Maybe I should go explore myself" he thought slowly walking back upstairs. As he walked he couldn't help but notice the echo of each footfall, the almost oppressive feeling of emptiness the house seemed to hold. vigorously shaking his head Dave strode into his bedroom, directly for his bed, picking up a pamphlet he'd gotten about the city including major attractions he started to leaf through it. "Hmm....let's see there's a park, a farm, and a forest, as well as a lake, this this place really is beautiful..." Having made up his mind Dave walked over to his closet and selected...  | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
