Author's note: Please pardon my liberal amounts of creative licence used in this story. This is because I do realize that during the 1970's eighteen year olds were fully grown men in this era. They had careers, cars, spouses and didn't often live at home by the time they reached that age. Regardless of that, I hope you enjoy the story!

Kingsport Hospital, Miskatonic County, MA
"Come closer." The frail man in the bed said. "I won't bite."
Darterrius couldn't believe that this man in the hospital bed was forty-three years old... he looked closer to ninety! He pulled his chair so he could hear the man's weak whispers.
"I'm looking for a man named Cassio?" Darterrius asked in a deep voice.
"That's a name I haven't heard in a very long time." The frail man replied softly.
"I'm hoping he might help me find this woman, and maybe the young man in this photo." Darterrius held up a faded photo with a shaky hand.
The man in the bed took the photo and stared at it for a long time, it was as if he wanted to cry, but he had no tears left in him to shed.
"What can you tell me about her?" Darterrius pleaded.
The frail weak man in the hospital bed spoke slowly as he told his tale. Listening carefully Darterrius felt like he was there.

1976
Martin's Beach, Miskatonic County, MA
"Hello Susanne!" Mary said signing the guest registry.
"Hello to you; and Scotty, my how you've grown!" The elderly Susanne replied.
Scotty was very shy eighteen year old with brown eyes and sandy blonde hair. Mary his mother, who wasn't his birth mother was married his father back when he was very young. She was now a forty-one year old widow; her husband, Scotty's father having passed away two years before.
The petite porcelain skinned woman Scotty called mother could best be described as independent, proud and very lonely. They had been coming to this little resort for many years for the month of July.
"Curtis!" Called Susanne loudly, "Come take these bags!"
In a moment a large black man appeared, he was six-foot two, and 200 lbs. His skin was the colour of midnight, and he had the widest flattest nose that Scotty had ever seen. His jaw dropped while he stared, he just assumed that this man Curtis with all his muscles should be a policeman, a soldier or a even a hitman!
"Yes ma'am." Curtis said picking up the bags. "If you'll follow me, I'll take you to your cottage."
Scotty listened intently as his mother spoke short curt sentences to the giant man. She stood five-foot three, and at his best guess he assumed the auburn hair woman weighed 135 lbs. It wasn't the words she used to Curtis that bothered him, but how she said them, it was like she was speaking to a horse, and she didn't like horses.
"Miss Mary." Curtis said setting the bags down. "There's some problems with this cottage, the TV don't work none, and the fridge has some troubles."
Mary nodded coolly at this, arms crossed over her chest, and foot tapping.
"I'm going into Arkham this morning, but I'll be by after lunch to fix the TV, and the fridge later tomorrow." Curtis said before leaving.
"Mother." Scotty said, "I don't like how you spoke to that man."
"What ever are you talking about dear?" Mary replied as she fixed her auburn hair in the mirror.
"You were cold with him, and that's just rude!" Scotty said.
"I hadn't realized that I was." She said.
"Mom, he must think we are Democrats!" Scotty stated picking up his fishing rod.
Mary stood in shocked silence as Scotty stormed off towards the Miskatonic River to find his fishing buddy.
Later that day Scotty and his friend returned to the cottage, they heard talking, and being curious they listened from outside the open door. What they heard was startling for young Scotty, it was his mother's laughter, and the deep voice of Curtis telling stories. He hadn't heard her laugh like that since... well since his father lived.
Scotty's friend elbowed him, and when he looked over he was thrusting his hips and moaning loudly. The two boys giggled softly.
"Who's there?" Mary asked as she came out with Curtis in tow.
The boys tried to hold in the giggles whilst she gave them a stern look. Curtis seemed embarrassed and unsure what to say before excusing himself, he however remained standing there as if he were waiting for something. Mary went back inside the cottage saying that Scotty needed to get ready for dinner.
Scotty noticed Curtis' eyes, then followed them to see what he was looking at, it was his mother's round rear as she walked away. Scotty felt confused, he hadn't thought of her as a sex object until that moment. He was quickly embarrassed himself as he felt his penis growing as he watched her sway her hips.
