Tommy was had a plan B, however. His best student started coming in his place, a very smart and talented young woman named Jannelle. Yeah. That Jannelle. Maybe Tommy knew what would happen, but I had not had a lot of experience with love in my life. I fell for Jannelle, hard. and miracle of miracles, she seemed to fall for me too. She started coming out once a week, and life was good. It was an interesting time. Mavon's little fusion cars had taken some of the pressure off our need for oil, and the guy was getting ready to take his followers into deep space! Fingers had edged off nuclear buttons, and people were feeling hope. Things went great for almost 2 years. And then, Jannelle stopped coming. No Jannelle, no Tommy, no Little Jackie Paper. Hell I hadn't even seen a stray hiker or hunter in over a month...
