The alien signal came in the middle of spring 2045, exactly one week after Jack had lost his job at School Nine in Olean. He had taught fifth grade science…and yes, he still missed it.
After five years together with Carter through ups and downs, Jack had thought things were okay. He had given his two weeks notice after he caught Carter in bed with another man. And well, after the whole scene—Jack walking into their bedroom to find them, a mass of tangled bodies sliding over one anther, hot and wet like pigs—he couldn’t see it anymore. Jack wouldn’t see it! Jack couldn’t believe Mrs. Lister’s husband carried such a big dick, and seeing Carter greedily sucking on his cock had smashed Jack’s belief in love. After all, Mr. and Mrs. Lister had been together for nearly twenty years. If they couldn’t stay together, who could?
Jack had watched them scramble, trying to cover themselves. As if two hundred thread count sheets could veil the lies each had been telling. Why had Carter pulled the sheet so tightly around his body? Jack now knew Carter had felt guilty, trying to hide his culpability. Jack ran from the room as Carter had yelled, “This doesn’t change the way I feel about you!” Jack had checked into a hotel that night; it was all he could do. He wished he only had to stop for the night, but how could he go back to their house; go back to where Mr. Lister had invaded? Had Carter and Mr. Lister continued their tryst over all these years? Had Mr. Lister moved in and left Mrs. Lister? Would she be alone until she died? Nothing could calm Jack's mind. Oh, it churned.
