Much had happened in our family over the past few weeks. I have been telling you about what happened with my aunt Janet, her daughter Michelle and their families. So maybe I should reintroduce myself.
I am David. My mother is Mary. Our last name, unlikely as it may seem, is Smith. We were the first of the family to engage in the thrill of incest. It spread from us to my mother's two sisters, my aunts Janet and Edith.
Janet, with Edith's help, introduced her husband, Earl, to the notion. Later, she and Earl introduced their daughter, Michelle, to the joys of familial love. Physical love, that is. Incest, if you prefer.
Michelle carried the message to her husband and his mother. Son and mother had already been in an incestuous relationship. Now it was three of them together.
Earl and Janet had spent a couple of weekends with them. According to Janet, everyone involved had thoroughly enjoyed themselves both times. She said they were all anxious for a repeat.
So the incestuous lifestyle was spreading through the family. So far, all involved approved of the new way of life. They not only approved, all were thoroughly enjoying it.
Much of the spread was caused by the dreams that the female members of my mother's family have. Erotic dreams of making love with other members of the family, with either men or women. When the dreams became too intense, they were forced to act on them. It seemed as if that force was applied subtly, without their knowledge. Maybe they looked at it as coincidence. Whatever. Events occurred to bring them into an incestuous relationship. And thus, into the incestuous circle of our family.

It was a Friday afternoon. Mother got home from work a little before I did. She was going through the mail when I walked in. She had set aside one letter.
"This is from your Aunt Martha," she said, indicating the letter. Aunt Martha is my father's sister. She had married and moved away shortly after my parents wed. She and Mother had been friends, but the last time we had seen her was at my father's funeral. That was over ten years ago. Communication had dwindled to occasional letters and cards at Christmas. Lately, though, with the growth of the internet, contact had become more frequent.
Aunt Martha had lost her own husband two years ago. She had a son, Rick, about my age, and a daughter, Ruth, who was nineteen. Ruth had graduated from high school. She was trying to decide what to do with her life. Her son was in the Army and stationed in Korea. He would be there another six months.
Martha's husband had left her well off. Either of the children could have afforded college but neither seemed interested.
Her letter told us that she was considering moving back home. She asked if Mother could put her up, along with her daughter. It would only be for a couple of weeks or so until they found an apartment. Then they would look for a house to buy.
"Martha was a good friend when we were younger," Mother told me. "I don't think I can refuse her a few days hospitality. She is your father's sister, after all.
"We'll have to watch ourselves while they are here but I think we can survive. If necessary, we can visit Edith."
"Well, Mother," I told her, "don't forget that I'll be moving some things back to my college apartment." It was nearing the end of the summer. I would be returning to school for advanced studies in three weeks. The next week would be my last at work. It had been a summer job with a local engineering firm. I had the impression that they were well satisfied with my work.
"That is a thought," Mother replied. "I can always take a day off to help." She laughed then.
There was another sister on my father's side of the family. That was my aunt Elaine. She was divorced and had one daughter, Shirley. Elaine was the youngest of my father's family. They lived not too far from us. We saw her three or four times a year. She had a good job but they were far from wealthy.
Shirley was a very intelligent girl. She had just turned eighteen. She was ready to start her first year of college. She had a good scholarship that would pay her tuition. Her father had offered to continue his child support payments as long as she was in school. He would also contribute to her living expenses. His contribution would be a big help for her and her mother.
"I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of Elaine and Shirley while Martha and Ruth are here. We don't see them very often. Ruth and Shirley are about the same age, too. I hope they get along together. I don't think they have ever seen much of each other."
Mother emailed Martha telling her she was welcome any time and for as long as she wanted to stay. She did tell her that the guest room only had one bed; that she and Ruth would have to share, or one could sleep on the couch.
The next morning there was a reply from Martha.
"Ruth and I don't have any problem sharing a bed. We're leaving Sunday, driving. We should arrive Friday."
She signed it
"Love, Martha and Ruth."
