 I will attempt to write this redhairsex in the formal way. Step redhairsex one: introduction of redhairsex characters. There redhairsex are four or five in our little drama: two protagonists, one antagonist, and a couple "others," who were such minor characters that I won't even mention redhairsex their names . As for redhairsex the antagonist, I won't mention him now, either, since I can hardly be dispassionate enough to describe him redhairsex without prejudice. We'll redhairsex just get to him redhairsex as he enters redhairsex this narrative redhairsex in the next page redhairsex or two.
 I redhairsex talked to redhairsex her on redhairsex the first day of the author's seminar. She redhairsex remembered me, and seemed to redhairsex like to chat about this and that redhairsex. But we never really had redhairsex much time immediately before or after class, and I either never found the opportunity or redhairsex the courage to ask her for a redhairsex date. I think it's what we both wanted. I hated myself for being such a wimp redhairsex. Maybe I feared a rejection. Whatever the reason, I found myself thinking redhairsex about her redhairsex more and more as the weeks went on, and actually fantasized about her at night in bed. She was slowly becoming an obsession. On the Friday our little drama jpg took place, it was the next to the last class on the schedule. If I redhairsex didn't make my move soon, she might have to remain a fantasy forever. (Is that what I really wanted?)
 "Brenda," Menlo said sternly redhairsex, and she quickly jpg turned jpg to him and looked redhairsex up. "Look into redhairsex my redhairsex eyes redhairsex."
 "Shhh," he scolded lightly redhairsex. "Just look into my eyes and relax redhairsex. That's redhairsex right. Just relax. You know what's going to happen, don 't redhairsex you? Just jpg let it happen. That redhairsex's right. Relax."
 He redhairsex continued to ignore redhairsex me redhairsex completely as he talked to her, giving redhairsex her instructions redhairsex that I didn't seem to want to hear redhairsex. All redhairsex I cared about was my mounting anger. I waited patiently for him redhairsex to finish redhairsex. I had never contemplated redhairsex killing a man before.
 Menlo redhairsex finally gave me his attention. He bowed a little, as if to redhairsex a crowd, and swept redhairsex a hand in Brenda's redhairsex direction. "Well redhairsex, there she is, Freddy Boy redhairsex. She's all yours, body and soul redhairsex."
 The world seemed to shift at redhairsex that point, and it crept into the back of redhairsex my redhairsex mind that perhaps he really redhairsex did have the redhairsex power to redhairsex alter men's minds; for while he, himself, seemed to remain in solid focus, the living room around redhairsex me appeared to be moving. My rage did not allow me, at first, to make the proper deduction. The living room was indeed moving, or redhairsex rather, I redhairsex was moving across it toward him. But Menlo, waving the watch in front of him, was backing redhairsex away redhairsex from me as redhairsex fast as I redhairsex was approaching.
 We were redhairsex in the foyer, now, and he tripped jpg and fell heavily on his ass. He sat jpg for a moment, holding the watch in front of redhairsex him on its chain redhairsex as if it were a crucifix, and his last defense redhairsex against redhairsex the oncoming vampire .
 "Christ, Freddy. Don't talk like that. It wasn't rape, I swear redhairsex." He was outside now, backing redhairsex down the steps toward the sidewalk. "Listen. I've fixed it so that you're the one who can wake her up. Just redhairsex do it. As soon as she's awake, she's going to want to talk to you, to tell you all redhairsex about it. Whatever she tells you, I swear it's going to be redhairsex the truth. As redhairsex God is my witness redhairsex, everything she says will redhairsex be the gospel truth. Shit." I had started redhairsex after him down the steps.
 This seems to have been the last thin thread of sanity for him, for his eyes literally rolled in their sockets, and he let out a redhairsex high redhairsex-pitched squeak of a scream redhairsex. Still backing toward the street redhairsex, suddenly jpg realizing that I redhairsex wasn't going to stop, he jpg spun around jpg and ran right into a small sycamore tree redhairsex next to my walkway. Careening through its jpg branches, he finally made redhairsex it to the sidewalk next to the street and ran as fast as his legs would carry redhairsex him back toward the campus.
 "Um, sure redhairsex."
