Now the u{summary trunctuated}

26. Chapter 26

Chapter 26

.

Note: In this chapter I make mention of an old "Twilight Zone" episode "the Obsolete man." Essentially I say it's been made into a movie. I might go into more details in a future chapter.

.

Jacob had been born into a large family, he always had to share a bedroom with his brothers. And now that tey were planning Mary's wedding to Peter, this house was even more crowded. Jacob began hanging out at Lily's house just to watch television. Both promised their respective parents that Jacob would not go upstairs towards her bedroom. With so many siblings and other family Jacob was used to arguing over what to watch. Now he only had to debate one other person.

.

Lily: So what's your favorite show?

Jacob: "On her own." It started off about a young woman who tries to reconcile with the mother who gave her up for adoption. Those two eventually reconciled, which required other dramas to keep the show interesting. Currently the plot is about her sister, who became pregnant from rape. She has this elaborate scheme to hide her pregnancy and claim she adopted the baby. I know it sounds convoluted, but it's based on love. She wants to make sure noone knows her child was concieved in rape.

Lily: Sounds interesting. My favorite show is "Blood and love."

Jacob: The vampire show?

Lily: Yeah. Specifically how this immortal vampire keeps finding his beloved everytime she's reincarnated.

Jacob: Granted I've only seen a few episodes, but I thought this girl was with all the other vampires.

Lily: These vampires are indestructible. One was actually at Hiroshima when the bomb went off, and she survived. So there are only five vampires total. Over 900 years yeah, she's been with all of them in different lives.

Jacob: Wasn't one of them a nazi?

Lily: She's a mad scientist, worked with the nazies because they allowed her to do experiments on people. Experiments that she believed would ultimately benefit mankind.

Jacob: Tell you what, I'll give "Blood and love" a try you give "On her own" a try.

Lily: Deal. And I hear that movie "the Obsolete man" got good reviews. Maye we could see that together.

Jacob: Yes. I hear the writer/director is a chrismujew and a libertarian, so I'd be curious as to it's message.

Lily: Its a date.
