Prompt: Week 29 Prompt – Babel (in this case the word babble)

Author's Notes: I thought last week was bad, this week was worse, some RL stuff to deal with, so this little segment is brief and hasn't moved the story as far along as I had liked. However, I am determined to post something every week, so this little segment does include the week's prompt of babel…which became babble. Eventually I will get this story where I want it and once again, thanks for sticking with me!

Please note: This story is rated R and does contain nudity and sexual situations, although not all chapters will contain R-rated material.
