STILL BREATHING | open, wt/stories !

WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO LOVE — Jacob had always loved stories. He'd spent hours reading when he was little and he still did, although most of what he read now was medical books as he searched for new cures and ways to use herbs. He still dipped into the occasional novel though, particularly when he couldn't sleep. He hadn't had anyone tell him a story in a very long time, though. Honestly, other than his mother, there hadn't been very many people that just read to him. Jersey sometimes told stories but those usually weren't the types of stories Jacob actually wanted to hear. He put up with it, just like he put up with a lot of things Jersey did, but they weren't preferable. He'd much rather hear about Peter Pan or Alice in Wonderland or Sherlock Holmes. Unfortunately, Jersey wasn't interested in any of those things. He was sure Pierce wouldn't be anything like that, though. He and Pierce seemed to be rather similar in some ways and Jacob was sure that the man had lots of interesting stories that didn't involve... well, the activities that Jersey most enjoyed. So, the husky made his way over and settled down with a light smile on his maw. "I'll listen, if ya' don' mind," he stated.  —A GREAT HONOR TO HOLD YOU UP
