My Dear Readers,
Disclaimer:
What I write is fiction/fantasy/fairy tales for adults. None of my characters are real, no one was injured during the production of my stories and just like on T.V., they all get up when the scene is over, have a beer, remove the makeup and go home, ready to return in the next chapter, all the boo boos healed.
Votes and comments are as always gratefully received. E-mail will get personnel response if you remember to leave me a return e-mail address.
Enjoy.

Catherine Davis had just experienced the most amazing year of her life. At 43 that was saying something. In the last twelve months her body, mind, and outlook on life had changed dramatically. She had been only slightly out of shape for her age; her forty three year old body had become tighter, firmer, more deliciously filled out, yet thinner and much much stronger and faster.
She thought she had been in pretty good shape a year ago, for a forty three year old woman that is. Now her body looked and felt twenty eight, her hips and breasts had fleshed out which for her breasts, oversized in proportion to her body, was saying something. Her arms and legs had developed the musculature of a professional athlete. Her hair was softer, longer, and thicker. Her eyesight and hearing were perfect, actually more than perfect. If she concentrated she could hear conversations in the next door neighbor's house as if she was standing right there. She could read a book a block away, in the dark.
Her mind was quicker, she was able to grasp new ideas and see connections she never would have a year ago. One simple year that began the night she met him. It was at her annual Halloween party that she spotted the tall thin man in the old fashioned tuxedo. The man that shared her feelings for life, for literature and her passion for living life to the fullest. The man that changed her life.
She had gone to the party as a vampire complete with dentist installed fangs, which is what caused this whole life changing proposition. Her fangs had nicked the neck of the mystery man while they made out. His blood and hers had mixed and her life changed.
Everything changed but her husband. He continued to be oblivious to anything that had to do with Catherine. After the party she had felt so guilty of her illicit tryst that she had determined to make her marriage her top priority and for most of the year she worked hard at doing just that to no avail. It wasn't as if he was cheating on her, to cheat you had to leave the house. They had made their money in the dot com era, paid off everything, and set up safe, secure and mostly non taxable investments that paid them enough each year to never worry about money again and that's when he just quit. Quit work, quit being involved, quit everything.
His days were spent watching the boob tube, playing online games or tinkering in the garage with one project or another. He seldom left the house other than to visit his mother or the kids or to go bowling on Tuesday nights. He couldn't be cheating even then as the bowling team consisted of their youngest child and her husband and Catherine herself.
He never noticed the changes in her except to inquire once, "Did you change your hair style?"
Others noticed, like almost every male in which she had any kind of contact. They noticed her tits and her ass and made sure she knew they noticed and appreciated. Her husband's only comment to their advances was that these younger guys had cougar fantasies' from watching too much reality TV.
Well she had a few fantasies' of her own and she was making one come true tonight. This would be the Halloween part to top them all and she had gone all out. A live band, caterers and the entire house and yard decorated. Her time with the PTA had paid off, as she was able to pull permits to stage all the temporary building from friends in city hall. The house now had a haunted mansion facade surrounding the entire structure and the back yard was a 18th century cemetery and the pool house a deserted church.
Her costume was a witch's delight with low bodice and sweeping skirts and her husband was the wizard; not that he cared. He started to bitch about the expense only once before the look in her eyes brought him up short and he retreated to his garage and his latest car rebuild.
Tonight she would meet and greet and mingle but the work of hostessing and running the party she was leaving to her daughters and her husband. He practically stayed at the bar anyway, he might as well oversee the bartender she had hired.
Tonight was her night and there was one particular guest in dark tuxedo she was waiting to see. Catherine opened the door to her haunted mansion and began to greet her guests.
It was hours later, almost ten at night when she caught her first glimpse of her long awaited guest. Unlike last year when he played a game of cat and mouse with her, appearing and disappearing behind the crowd, this year she used her new found speed and appeared beside him.
