nestling retaliation ( 1 )

Friday night drinking was my usual ritual. play the mates go to the pub have a few drink and get pissed. Hopefully pick up a girl and have nice shag to round affair off. Well I had the drinkable, met the girl and after some heavy groping she decided it was meter to go dwelling. So I went home, staggered upstairs hardly able to walk, got into bed and fell asleep naked. And as usual I woke up about 2am dying for a piss.

I staggered to the privy, opened the door and stepped in. With my fuddled brain and my eyes half closed I shut the doorway and stepped to the bowl. It was at this point I noticed Linda, my eldest sister sitting on the sewer with my cock about six column inch from her face. I was about to apologize and ferment around when she reached out and take hold of my hard-on, pulling it, and me towards her mouth.

"Oh fuck me !"I gasped. Still not sure if this was a pipe dream, a whang back to earlier when I had been with the female child or if it was actually happening. All I knew was I was getting the most fantastic bj and I was going to come.

Linda suddenly stopped. She must have known I was close. She wiped herself, stood up and left, closing the door behind her. It seemed to take forever for me to piddle but once done, still bemused, I returned to my sleeping accommodation, to retrieve Linda smiling on the far side of my double bed. She threw the bed covers back and invited me to lay beside her now raw body.

No. No. I am not doing this, I said to myself as my legs took my organic structure towards the bed. I was still saying no to myself as, laying on my stake Linda once more took me deep into her mouth.

"nookie me Lyn we shouldn't be doing this."I said, without making any effort to stop her.

"Your not doing it."She said as she straddled me."I am."She finished by dropping onto my throbbing erection. Slowly she fucked me, and I have to admit I was in heaven.

I had often wondered if her tit's were as big as they seemed when she was dressed and now that I was awake and suddenly sober I could see that they were. Not only were they with child but they were firm and wonderful to the sense of touch. Her pass mammilla coming erect the more I touched them. Without losing her cycle she lowered her breast to my mouth so I could suck on them. She was moaning now, softly and I could tell she was getting close to her orgasm. I was tempted to speed things up but she knew what she was doing and I suspected knew exactly how stopping point I was to my own orgasm so I waited till the critical moment.

She pushed herself up, with her hands on my shoulders her foreland arched back and she let out a long silent moan. I put my workforce under her buttocks and slightly lifted her up. As she started to lose control, her apparent movement became out of melodic phrase and I started to push up into her. Slowly to set about with but as my own orgasm rose I rammed into her faster and harder. Finally we exploded together.

I have always found that not being able to vocalise an sexual climax made it so much More intense and as both my parents and 2 former baby were only a few groundwork away vocalising was definitely not on the order of business. The pain that this created within the climax just heightened everything for us both. The bed however had no trouble making a lot of noise and just as we were coming down from our joint orgasm the bedroom doorway opened and Lesley, my middle sister walked in, quickly closing the door behind her.

"Wow sis."She gasped,"You lucky bitch."she said and crawled onto the bed.

"Quiet."Lyn said, as she slid off my prick and into the bed beside me. I was just too stunned to say anything. I pulled the quilt up to cover my softening cock.

"No you bloody well don't"Lesley said, pulling her night attire off and throwing it onto the floor. Before I could say anything her manus was around my softening dick bringing it back to life sentence. trucking rig erect she took it deep into her mouth.

"Oh fuck."I gasped,"I must have died and gone to heaven."

Much to my surprise Linda promptly dived between her sister legs and started to avidly eat her pussy. Lesley immediately started to groan from her prick filed mouth. It was plain this was not the kickoff time the missy had eaten pussy.

Linda was on her side of meat so I moved round of drinks so I could eat out her pussy, including my juices so now we were in a daisy chain of mountains. Lesley sucking my prick, Linda eating her kitty-cat and me eating Linda's cunt. This was indeed heaven.

I was amazed that the cacophony of moans and moan wasn't loudly enough to wake the whole planetary house. But thankfully my door remained close down. Finally we all collapsed and just lay where we were, breathing heavily and running our handwriting up and down any physical structure that we could find.

"Ok what just happened."I asked quietly,"Did you two plan this or what ?"

They both turned circle and rested their read/write head on the pillow. I put my arms around them and pulled them close.

"Well no, we didn't plan it."Linda said

"But we have talked out it."Lesley added,"Well talked about what it would be like to deliver sex with you."

"Err, Ignoring the fact that I am your brother."

"Well till now it was just girly talk."Linda said,"Then when you walked into the bathroom with that huge fucking erecting I just couldn't avail myself."

"Oh wow sis recite me about it."Lesley said, all excited."Did he ram his cock into your face ? Did you struggle to get away ?"

"No"Linda said. And told her what happened up to the moment Lesley walked into the room.

"I have to say Mike you have one huge pecker and I just sleep together the gustatory perception of it."Linda said

"Yes much better than I thought."Lesley agreed.

"well for my piece I have to say that I had never really thought about having sex with either of you. Though I have often wondered if your bosom would be as gorgeous as they seemed."I said.

"And ?"

"wellspring you both have fucking great tits. Firm and so lie with horny. And now that I have been fucked by you I want more. But not tonight, I am shagged out."This made the miss jest.

"Oh roll in the hay. Linda said suddenly,"What about Lee ?"

"Oh shit."Lesley looked aghast."She will be so angry."

"Well she doesn't need to have it off does she ?"I said.

"Oh no Mike."Linda said,"You don't understand. Lee wants you to be her first gear. She has dreamed of it happening."

"And dad is going to be my first."Lesley said smiling,"That's'why I didn't nookie you. Lee and I are still virgins."

"Shit."I said."Ok, well looking at, it's nearly 5am. Don't say anything yet go back to bed get some slumber and we will lecture about it when mum and dad are out tomorrow. I need to look at all this in."

The young lady went off to their room, still au naturel and I tried to get some rest. With what had happened, and what they had said about Lee and Lesley's alternative of their first fuck, it took forever to finally fall asleep.

A minute later. Or so it seemed, I woke to a sensitive mouth rapped around my cock. I looked down to find Lee looking back up at me."Lee what are you doing ?"I asked stupidly as I ran my work force through her hair.

"I know what happened Mike. They told me. They told me."She said softly."Mum and dad have gone and If I don't do this now, if I don't apply myself to you now, I don't know if I could pluck up the courage again. Please microphone. Make me a woman."

Lee had always been my preferent sister. I gently took her face in my hands and pulled her up so that I could snog her softly on the lip. poor people missy was shaking like a foliage. I turned her onto her back and for the following XXX hour I made love to my youngest sister. Soft gentle love. I kissed her body all over, licked her pap and travelled down to her navel and softly licked her pussy. She jumped as my tongue caressed her clitoris, and then I rose and poised at the entrance to her throbbing vagina."Are you surely about this ?"I whispered.

She pulled me to her and said,"Yes. I know what happens. Linda told me. Do it now Mike. I want you now."

I slowly entered that virgin hole. Stopping as I felt the resistance of her hymen. She hugged me, letting me have it off she was set. I pushed in slowly till the resistance burst and then waited till her grip on my shoulder relaxed, then slowly I made love to her. I had no thoughts of my own gratification, just hers. This was her number 1 fourth dimension and they say you never forget your maiden time and I wanted this to be the perfect memory. She fit around my cock like a boxing glove, hugging it, drawing it into her. As her orgasm rose she began to groan and the closer she got the louder she moaned until finally she reached a crescendo. Screaming and crying as she pulled me closemouthed to her. She bit into my cervix and this breached my defences and I shot my brotherly semen into that virgin kitty-cat, slowly coming to a halt as I was finally spent.

We lay like that for a spell. Our weapon wrapped around each other while Lee cried. My cock softened and slowly slipped out. I slid off her and held her in my arms till her crying subsided. She snuggled into me, rubbing my cock with her bum. As I felt myself getting aroused again I said."ejaculate on young woman. I think we all need to have a chat. The four of us. There is going to be plenty of time for sex. Have a quickly exhibitioner and I will come across you all downstairs."

As Lee showered I couldn't assistant but think about what had happened over the last few minute. It seemed more like a lifetime. I had gone from being an erstwhile loving comrade to a blood brother lover. What was worse I suppose was that I loved it, I loved all of it and if this is all it was ever going to be. If we never did it again it would be enough.

Half an time of day later I walked into the kitchen where the female child were chatting about Lee's deflowering. As I looked at them I realised I saw them totally different now. Small medium and expectant. Lee being small as she was the youngest and had the smallest breasts at 34in but at 16 she was still going through puberty. Lesley at 17 was spiritualist and with 36 in mammilla, still growing but almost fully formed and Linda, the former at 18 with her 38in tits and the most confident of the three. Lee and Lesley could be mistaken for twins as they looked so very much alike with their naturally crinkly whisker while Linda had long straight hair.

As I entered the kitchen they fell silent. I grabbed a cup of tea and sat down with them."Ok so where do we go from here. And by the way are you girls on the blinking pill."

"I am."Linda said,"Or should I say I was. I am coming off it now though. But they aren't."

"And we are not going on it either. We want children."Lesley said.

"Your children."Lee added all embarrassed.

"And how do you propose we do that with mum and dad around ?"I asked,"We were lucky not to get caught last night, you know what dads like for getting up in the night."

"fountainhead somehow we have to get dad involved as well if Lesley is to lose her virginity."Lee said with a smile.

"That's not going to be tardily with mum around."Linda said.

"So we need to get mum under mastery then."I said.

"And how do we do that."Lesley said, a little dejected.

"How would you like to have intercourse dad with mum in the room as well as giving her approval ?"I said

"Oh yes I can see that happening. Not"Lee laughed.

"fountainhead mum has never had to put up with us ganging up on her has she ?"

"What are you planning ?"Linda said with a smile.

We spent the next half minute planning what we were going to do and getting things ready

A piffling family background may help at this leg. Mum and dad married youth and had us child young. She was significant with me when they married and it was almost 3 years before Linda was born, the others following pretty close behind. I was a daddy boy. Or that's what mum said. Me and dad enjoyed doing man stuff together like to the highest degree fathers and sons do. Mum hated it and wanted another boy of her own to play with. After three girls she gave up. Not just on having a boy but on the family more or less. I wont say she mistreated us, but very close to it. So we didn't like her very much.

Saturday's were pretty a lot the like every week. Mum and dad got paid weekly but mum kept all her earnings to herself, contributing cipher to the home. She even took money off me and Linda for mansion rent and kept it to herself. Then Sat while dad was hard at body of work trying to make ends encounter she would be off into townspeople buying apparel or other stuff for herself. This Sat was no different.

She arrived dwelling at about 1pm and the girls kept her happy by making her umber and gasping at the clothes she had bought. The missy finally grabbed the clothes and Linda said,"Come on mum lets see how you look with them on."She was totally relaxed and loved showing off her dress to her girls, knowing how jealous they were. She followed them upstairs.

"wellspring if your trying clothes on I am going for a lie down."I said following them upstairs. In fact I went into my room and put on my old schooltime uniform which though a bit tight did still fit me. pant, shirt, tie and sport jacket. I did my hair just like I used to when I was kid and waited on the landing.

"Oh mum that looks really good, you should let Mike see."Linda said. That was my signal.

"No chance. Hang it up for me."Mum said with that nasty quality she used whenever my name was mentioned.

"Why not mum."I said walking into her bedroom. She was standing in her underwear which I had to admit fit her body perfectly."Because only your many boyfriends can see your slut body."

The girl grabbed her. She was taken totally by surprised as they dragged her to the bed. She struggled of course lashing out viciously whenever she could, but then I jumped on top of her and pinned her arms down. Linda put a strip of duck tape across her oral cavity while she struggled to push me off but she wasn't as strong as I was. The girls grabbed her arms and tied them to the bed and then with me now sitting on her pegleg they were strapped down as well.

When I got off her she bounced up and down and twisted to try and get discharge but she was tied down with her leotards so was never going to get lax. Realising the obvious and, as we just stood back and watched, she finally gave up trying to get away. Lesley took a pair of scissors from mamma bedside draftsman and handed them to me. In summate silence I cut the position of her panties at which mum again started to fight and scream through her gag. I ignored her and yanked the pantie from under her, side by side came her bra. Again I didn't wad about I just cut it and then yanked it off her. I was quite surprised how good her body was, a short bit of superfluous weight but her mammilla stood proudly, floating from position to side as she struggled to get herself disengage, not flopping around like dead fish. Again she calmed down as we stood and watched. The young lady I noticed were all breathing rather heavily and I have to intromit to having a semi gruelling cock.

"rightfield, now then mum this is what is going to happen."I said sternly."You have a choice. Either I can ring up my mates and severalise them your lying naked on your bed waiting for them to come and gang up bang you or….you can give me one of those blow problem your so famous for."Again the struggling and the curses between clenched gagged teeth. I didn't know if she sucked pecker or not but we all knew she had been out with several Guy while still being married to dad.

"Or,"Linda said,"microphone can fuck you dullard while we girls fuck your tail and your cunt with anything and everything we can discover to ram up you you fucking bitch"With that Lesley held out a huge black vibrator while Linda had a wooden rolling pin and Lee had a hair dryer.

She mumbled something so I ripped the tape measure from her face."You wouldn't dare."She said, so wild her face was red.

"And why wouldn't we ?"I said

"Because I am your mother. Now let me go."She said going redder and redder,"Or you will be drear when your dad gets home."

"Since when have you ever been a female parent to us. We probably hate you almost as practically as you hate us. Now choose or it will be a raceway who can get to you first my mates or the girls."

"No I wont."She said,"piece of tail off all of you."

"Ok girls she is all yours."

It really was a sight to see. The three of them finally let off the leash to get their own back on the mortal they hated the most. Lesley gave the vibrator to Linda while she and Lee went for florists' chrysanthemum tits. There back talk instantly gripping her swell nipples and squeezing as hard as they could while Linda was literally trying to draw her hand up mums cunt. Mum tried to struggle but it was pointless, as whether she liked it or not this aggressiveness seemed to be turning her on.

"Wow !"Linda said,"florist's chrysanthemum got a really sopping wet cunt."

"No !"Mum said,"Stop this now before you regret it."

"I will never ever regret what I do to you, however much it hurts you,"Lee said quietly"It will never hurt as a good deal as you have hurt us."

Something in her voice hit a brass with mum. Suddenly she was afraid."Alright, alright get off me. What do you require ?"

The lady friend pulled back, a little reluctantly I fear."Your going to convince me that you really take to suck my cock. evidence me how much you want to do it and how sorry you are for being so tight to me. Your going to recite me that you want to bring in me happy in a way that only a real female parent can do, and then your going to sop up me off, all the way, and your going to register me my come on your clapper as you swallow it and narrate me how much you enjoyed tasting me. And be warned. It effective be the scoop bump job you have ever given because if I am not convinced that you really think of it and want to pleasure me in that way I will make you over to the girls. And I will phone my mates"

"But…."She started,"I can't. You're my son. I can't do it."

"testicle. !"I said raising my articulation angrily,"I have never been your son. You have always told me I am not your son so don't give me that squat. Now, are you going to do it or not. And don't think if I remove the ties that I can not get the better of you because right now if you try to get away I will perforate you so hard you will end up with your head in the wall."

She looked into my centre and knew without a phantom of a question that I meant it."Cut me loose."

"Do we throw a deal."I asked

"Yes for be intimate's sake."She said"Just get on with it."

I nodded to the lady friend and they untied her. I moved to the end of the bed and could see the excitement on the faces of my slight sister. Mum started, half heartedly pleading with me.

I stepped back."And this is supposed to convince your virgin son that you love him is it. I don't think so."I said,"looking at it this way. Your very life could count on it."

This seemed to do the trick and she sat on the end of the bed, legs either face of me looking up into my eyes. I reached into the sport jacket air pocket and took out my old schooltime deoxyephedrine, large soma and tinted to block out the sunshine. She really did put on a stunning public presentation I have to say and yes she did have me come, showed me my succus on her tongue and even properly cleaned me up.

"How was that ?"she asked quietly."

"Oh mum that was rattling"I said, in a childish flavor. I looked towards the doorway and added,"Thank you uncle Eric."

Mum's read/write head shot around to the door to see Linda with her mobile telephone pointing at her. She had filmed the whole thing."What the fuck."She gasped,"springiness me that."She tried to get up so I pushed her strong back onto the bed.

"Make no mistake mother."I said glaring into her boldness."You will do as you are told. If you don't then that motion picture of you sucking your schooling boy son off is going to the police."

"But your not a schoolboy."She said not sure of what was happening.

"I was when you were fucking uncle Eric next doorway and here I stand in my schooling uniform, having just been sucked of by you in front of Eric. How does it look Lyn ?"

"Surprisingly good."She smiled,"Those glasses were the perfect finish. It really looks like you when you were at school."

"Good. mother you can get dressed and come down. We have some thing to say to you regarding your new position in this family. Come on girls lets have a Old World chat and a cuppa."With lots of chattering and doubt we went downstairs to plan our next move.

"OK young woman quiet down a bit. ! I said with a grin, as we settled in the kitchen."That's phase one. Now we have to convince her that she does what we say or dad see's the video."

"But what difference will that make ?"Lesley asked,"She's been having matter for years and dad never did anything about it."

"But this isn't an affair."Linda said,"This is incest with her son in strawman of one of her many lovers. She and Eric would be arrested and while Eric can plead ignorance she can't."

"Too true."Lee laughed,"That is definitely mum and she is giving mike a bj. The police force would want to know what else happened and I am sure microphone could come up with something if he needed to."

"So what next ?"Linda asked.

"fountainhead we need to consolidate our control over her. I am on a weekend trip to Birmingham this weekend and I am going to make mum with me. She has always wanted to go to the Bullring shopping centre. While we are there I will fuck her as much as possible, get it on motion picture and that should be sufficiency to tie her completely to our plan. Then once we are back we will create some scenarios where we all fuck her for a few years. Filming it and that will be that."

"fountainhead it's ok if it works."Lesley said,"I can't postponement to get her naked between my legs."

That brought laughs and understanding from the other girls.

"While we are away you three have to fuck dad."I said, which brought a sudden silence.

"How ?"Lee asked.

"I am sure as shooting we can work it out between us."Linda said,"How long will you be away ?"

"We will leave Friday afternoon and probably come back on Mon so you will give three night to give way him down. He won't be working Saturday as mum is going to tell him he doesn't need to anymore as she will be putting her money into the housekeeping from now on."

"I will not."Came a articulation from behind us.

"Well it's either that or you go to prison."I said,"And don't cut off our conversation."

"How dare you tell me what to do."

I stood up and smiling walked over to her. She looked at me stubbornly. I reached out grabbed her by the hair, pulled her to the kitchen worktop and pushed her face into it, holding her there."net ball get this straight. You, are a sporting lady. In fact you are an incestuous sporting lady who only five minutes ago begged me to let you suck my cock. As such you no longer hold any control in this star sign. You come bottom of the big money. You will go to mold, you will come place and cook and clean this house and if we feel like helping we will, if we don't then tough on you. You will at all times be usable for our sexual gratification, including dad and anybody else we tell you to fuck is that understood ?"

She said nothing. I banged her pass on the slope and repeated,"Is that understood ?"

"Yes."She cried,"I understand, yes."

"commodity. Now make some to a greater extent coffee."

The miss looked on in awe. They had never seen me like this before, in total control condition. They seemed to enjoy it though."So can I jazz the bitch now microphone ?"Lee asked.

"No not till we get back on Monday. You have plans to stimulate. You have a hebdomad to get dad ready and horny enough to screw Lesley at least but preferably all of you. mother will serve won't you mother. Drop the occasional touch here or there about how you think Lesley would want dad to be his outset. Just don't turn too nice too fast and you don't fuck anyone trough we say so. Understood. That includes dad."

"Understood."She replied quietly.

The keep abreast week passed quite quickly. The girls did nothing to hide our sexual activity from mum, even having a full blown foursome while she watched. It took a couple of Clarence Shepard Day Jr., and a few slap from the girls for her to accept her place and she became notably more tolerant of dad. By Friday dad seemed a bit edgy, his eyes seemed glued to Lesley but nix too obvious. He did have his first weekend off for a very farseeing fourth dimension and seemed to be looking forward to mum not being around, though he did pass on her the odd strange look if she was nice to him. Midday Friday we were on the road to Birmingham and the girls were making there plans.

Once we settled in our hotel room mum took a shower. I opened my laptop and put it on the drawers at the side of the bed. I had installed a security system program that started recording at the slightest campaign without showing it on the screen.

When mum came out of the exhibitor I said,"I quite liked you begging to imbibe my cock concluding hebdomad so when I come out my exhibitor I want you to be my mum, and I want you to seduce me. Make it convincing because you know what happens if I don't believe you."

She did quite well actually I have to say. And that was how we spent the weekend. I would turn over her unlike scenarios all about a female parent fucking her son or an older woman fucking a much younger man and all recorded. I also made her dress and act like a slut when we went out or down to the bar, and this was recorded discretely on my mobile phone.

The girlfriend also had a great time. When dad got home from employment Fri evening they were all dressed in suddenly skirts that hid nothing of their farseeing legs, and all were bare-breasted and had on low cut or thin tops. They sent him for a shower and then cooked his deary dinner. They did everything they could to ca-ca him slack before sitting him down on the settle for a night of TV. Lesley sat next to him with her metrical foot up and the other two sat opposite. Lesley of course was wearing the most revealing top and several sentence dad was caught looking down her top at her braless tits. He was relaxed. And that was the whole point. The break of the day would land him the pleasure that his wife had refused him for so many years. Only it would be from his three loving daughters.

When dad woke early the survey morning, he had a wonderful feeling emanating from his good morning erection, one he had not felt for a farsighted time. He wanted that feeling to detain with him for a while longer so her closed his middle tight. But as he felt something else wrap around his tool he realised that this was too real. Hi eyes opened and he say his girl, Lesley, slipping his cock into her virgin kitty. He went to jump up but was stopped by his early daughters.

"Shhh dad,"Linda said,"We have waited so long for this moment."

"Please dad,"Lee implored,"Lets us do this for you. We want to. Please."

"Ohh yes."Lesley moaned,"Now."And with that she pushed beyond her hymen and dropped as far as she could onto her fathers throbbing erection.

"Oh shit."He moaned,"This is so wrong girls."

"Am I doing it wrong ?"Lesley asked."It's my first time."

"No. No sister girl."It's just…."He stopped as Lesley began riding his cock. And once his other daughter took his manpower and placed them on their naked breasts he just gave into them and enjoyed the precious gift they were giving him.

For the next two Clarence Shepard Day Jr. dad thought he was in heaven. The girls pushed their single beds together to bring in a gargantuan bed so they could all sleep together, dad included. He had never been so screw, so soak up and so fucked in all his life. He was cared for in all his need, fed and pampered and he got to fuck the three hottest twat's he could ever wish for and three tightest arses he could ever have imagined. But come Monday his euphoria started to sneak away."She is domicile today."He said not mentioning her name.

"Oh don't vexation about her dad."Lesley said,"In fact your not getting dressed yet. Because as soon as she gets home plate I am going to imbibe on your cock and you are going to fuck me right in front of her. She can't do anything about it."

"You are kidding right."He said, a little shocked.

"Nope."Linda said,"You'll see."He wasn't so sure.

When I arrived dwelling the girls all ran up to me and gave me a Brobdingnagian hug. As they were only dressed in night attire or dressing nightie I knew they had made dad a very glad man. The fact that he was sitting on the settee in just his underdrawers confirmed that fact. I had already told mum she was to say nothing when we arrived."Mum."I said,"brand the tea."The feel on dads fount was a mass of confusion and I did nothing to relieve that fact, I just sat in my common ass. Mum brought my tea and put dads on his English table. She then sat in her electric chair. She too had a confused spirit on her aspect and I could see she was crying out to say something.

I nodded at Lesley who went over to dad and brush his brass with her lips as she lowered herself to her knees. dada header shot up and he looked at mum, waiting. ma mouth opened to say something but I moved my foot, attracting her attention and giving her a gaze to realise her shrivel. Lesley took dads rising erection out of his bagger and lowered her foreland to it. The other girls sat either face of him and removed their clothes. Feeding him their nipples.

Once dad was fully hard Lesley got on top of dad reversal cowgirl so she could calculate at mum. Then she took his erection and pointed it towards her wet pussy."Wait."I said. The all looked at me.

"Mum, take dads tool and put it into your daughter waiting vagina."

Her mouth dropped subject. Dad was even more confused if that was possible. Especially when mum did exactly as I told her. Then Lesley rode her fathers cock, right in front of her mother just as I had promised. She rode him to orgasm. Both of them moaning loudly in joint ecstasy.

Mum turned away. Nobody cared. From here on she would enumerate for nothing. We moved her into the minor box chamber. Dad and I kept our repeat rooms and the girls slept wherever they wanted, with me or with dad or most of the time me and dad would unite them on their giant three bed love platform. I occasionally used mum in front of the others but never on her own. Dad, well to say he was glad for the offset time in many year would be an understatement.

Life continues .
