Revenge of the Goddess
By Ricky
Eternity had been quiet in the God's card room at The Home. It always
was. Whenever someone new joined the group it was a nine eon's wonder,
but since that meant the poor deity had lost so many followers he no
longer had a place in the current pantheon of the real world it
reminded the currant denizens of their own misfortune.
The place was pretty nice, actually. A professional decorator would
have been scandalized by the way the retired deities had stuffed
millennia of traditions and artworks into one area without regard for
the overall aesthetic, but Godhood had it's prerogatives. Occasional
shifting alliances had prevented some of the most egregious mistakes,
like the time one of the Native American types had tried to recreate
his sacred mountain in the library. Cooler heads has prevailed and he
was convinced to move it to the gym, where objects for climbing were
more appropriate. Besides, the flashier folks like to do cannon balls
from the summit into Neptune's more-than-Olympic-sized pool.
Since there was so much supernatural energy concentrated in one place
it was child's play to keep the place up to modern standards. The
microwave oven had been greeted happily by everyone but Vulcan, who
just couldn't get used to heat without fire. The ancient types really
appreciated how easy it was to come up with burnt offerings without all
the hassle of starting a fire and overloading the air conditioning.
Despite arguments between the Chinese and Egyptian contingents about
who invented them, playing cards had been the favorite pastime at The
Home until Television was invented. This had been a major cause for
dissention as TV became more popular. The first one had had been
settled in the card room and pretty soon it distracted enough players
that the games went to hell, or where wherever the complaining deity
considered the most unpleasant place in the universe. It wasn't long
before a lightning bolt fried the first set. A coalition of love
goddesses defused the situation by suggesting a new room be created for
the infernal thing.
The love goddesses were surprised and pleased at how many humans
eventually invoked their aspects in front of the tube, but that's
another story.
The deities had soon realized that some ground rules were needed to
keep card games from devolving into Holy War. The deities of luck had
their own table; Rome's Fortuna, China's Fu-Xing and Finland's Leob-
Olmai had been in a marathon game of Rummy since the game was invented.
Half a dozen who counted Oracular Pronouncements among their Aspects
had been arguing about who had already won the game for so long the
deck was covered in the dust of ages.
Over at the poker table, fertility goddesses Sheela-Na-Gig, Akka, and
Barrahgnooloo had challenged the fertility gods Ba, Eros and Jurawadbad
to a game of strip poker, Texas-hold'em rules. The goddesses swore that
their period costumes were a tribute to the game, but garters, corsets
and all those petticoats gave them an advantage over the gods in their
traditional loincloths. It didn't matter much anyway, everyone knew
they would all end up in the Orgy Room to exercise their Aspects.
Vigorously!
Sheela-Na-Gig was just ready to surprise her opponents with a full
house when a shudder ran through her body.
"A curse on those asshole teenagers! May their little pink pricks
shrivel and drop off!"
"Hey Sheena baby, what's got into you? Asked Eros.
"Not what you want to put in me, baby." She sneered. "Some punk
teenager is shoving his finger up my snatch again. Why in Creation did
all those sculptors have to show me with my slit wide open for every
young punk to play with?"
"They knew you, sweetheart. They never saw you posed any other way."
"Up yours, Jura-baddy."
"Not with what I got in my hand. I know what you usually have in your
hand Ba, but I ain't offering anything better." They got back to the
game. "I'm going to raise you all five." Sheela-Na-Gig challenged.
Just as Sheela-Na-Gig was raking in the pot she jumped up and screamed,
grabbing her crotch.
"That son of a bitch is using his lighter! That's it, that fucker is
toast. Lend me some energy, boys, I'm going to make that bastard regret
he was born."
Her fellow deities were only too happy to pool their powers, having
experienced such disrespect in the eons since they retired. They could
still break through to the real world with a bit of effort when they
cooperated and this seemed like a good time to do it.
Sheela-Na-Gig concentrated and then smiled beatifically. "That should
do it!" she grinned.

Brent found himself lying on the ground. His ears were still ringing
and his hand hurt like hell.
"Hey Brent! Brent! You OK?"
Carl was starting to panic. Brent's arm looked funny and his hand was
all red with burns. A few seconds before Carl had been holding Brent on
his shoulders while he was making a smoke plume from the twat on that
carving on a church, then the world had gone "BANG" and he was flat on
his ass.
"Shit! The fucking lighter exploded on me!" Brent whined. He tried to
look at his hand to see what damage there was but moving his arm caused
a fresh explosion of pain.
"Christ, I think it's broken!" his voice sounded dim in his ears after
the explosion. "What the hell are we going to do?"
They were both supposed to be back in the hotel room while his parents
were at some effen party that they couldn't go to. Still treating him
like a kid even though he was 17. Two more effin months and he'd be 18
and they couldn't tell him what to do any more. He had tried to stay
home while his parents toured Europe while Dad did some business this
summer, but they wouldn't hear it. Damn! A whole summer to do what he
wanted without the old fogeys around! The best he could do was to talk
them into letting Carl come along so he wouldn't be bored out of his
gourd while Mom fucked around with culture and dad did his Big Business
crap.
Carl dragged him up off the ground
"Fuck, man. You look like shit. Can you move your hand?"
Brent tried. If Carl weren't there Brent would have cried at the pain,
but no way he could do that in front of him. A wave of nausea rolled
over him and he puked right then and there. Christ, Carl was going to
think he was a fucking sissy.
"Hey man, we better get back to the hotel." Carl told him. "You need a
doctor, they got to have one somewhere."
The walk hurt like hell and the old bastard at the desk looked like the
smug English asshole he was. He's already pissed Brent off more than
once, telling him what to do and not letting him into the dining room
without a fucking tie at dinner. Old prig! The English said stuff like
that; prig, bobby, water closet. Couldn't even talk right.
They tried to give him some crap about calling his parents, but he told
the asswipes he was 18 and didn't need his parents to do anything. Just
take him it the hospital, he demanded. For Christ sake they didn't even
know enough to say 'go to The Hospital', it was just 'go to hospital'.
They still made him call his folks on the cell phone and then they had
to go all crazy when they got to the place. He sat on his ass forever,
that much was like the way they did it at home. The time he'd sliced
his leg he sat in the fucking ER for hours with a cloth on the cut
before they looked at him.
They finally took him into a room and the doctor was some chick who
looked like she wasn't any older than him. She could have been hot if
she weren't wearing that white shapeless crap that doctors wear. They
x-rayed him then shot him full of juice and set the arm. The chick
doctor looked like she enjoyed pulling on his arm while he tried not to
let her know it hurt. At least it wasn't hurting so bad by then. They
slathered some crap on his burned hand and gave him some pain pills and
a whole list of stuff to do then pushed him out the door.
Carl was making time with a couple of chicks in the waiting room and
his dad was looking really pissed when he got out. Carl must have
gotten the chick's phone numbers out of them because he slipped a piece
of paper into his pocket before he left. When they got back to the
hotel Mom got all blubbery again and Dad just shook his head. No way he
told them what he was doing when he broke his arm; he just fell, that's
all. Good thing they didn't ask where he was when he fell.
---
Sheela-Na-Gig finished pulling the pot to her and looked insufferably
smug. By now nobody was paying too much attention to the cards and she
was quite pleased with herself. One more petticoat and Eros was going
to be so distracted by looking up Akka's quim that he'd be naked in no
time. She made a note to keep track of those smart ass kids and enjoy
her revenge, then want back to the game.
Eros surprised her by staying in the game longer than she thought. What
he did to her in the Orgy Room wasn't a surprise, but it was a great
way to forget what that punk had been trying to shove his way into her.

Brent woke up needing to take a piss so bad his crotch hurt. He threw
the covers back and headed for the bathroom, cradling his cast tightly
to his chest. Damned if his pajama pants didn't fall down halfway there
and nearly make him fall again. This was going to be a fucking great
day!
When he hit the toilet he couldn't make his rod point the right way
with his left hand and managed to piss all over himself and the
bathroom. It was almost as if his prick was trying to hide itself. That
made him take another shower, trying to keep the cast from getting wet.
The doctor bitch had warned him about that a dozen times, telling him
he would turn green or get an infection or something. Six weeks!
Good thing he liked the skinhead look, he didn't have to wash his hair
with the fucking cast on. Hi put his hand to his skull.
"What the fuck?" he muttered. His head was fuzzy, he had just shaved it
yesterday, it should be good for a week or two before he needed to do
it again. Before he could do much more than wonder he suddenly had to
sit on the throne with the worst fucking case of the shits he had ever
known. Christ, half of his body must have gone down the fucking water
closet.
When he'd finally flushed for what seemed like the hundredth time he
took long look in the mirror and knew he had to shave the fuzz off his
head, it looked silly. He had just discovered that there is no way to
shave the right side of hour skull with you left hand when Carl started
pounding on the door.
"Brent!" BAM BAM BAM "Brent! I gotta get in there NOW." BAM BAM BAM
"Hold you horses. I'm almost done." What was he going to with his head?
BAM BAM BAM
"Now Brent! I gotta shit RIGHT NOW!"
Well, at least he wasn't alone. Must have been something they ate
yesterday. He opened the door and Carl was standing there with his
pajamas around his ankles. He was in such a hurry he didn't even look
at Brent's half shaved head. From the sounds that came through the door
Carl was in worse shape than he was.
The both of them spent the day in bed, taking turns running for the
bathroom and feeling like crap. That was weird, considering all the
crap that was coming out of them there shouldn't have been enough left
to make them feel like crap. One of his teachers always said that there
was an endless supply of crap in universe and of they ever ran out the
government could take over and nobody would notice for a hundred years.
Maybe he was right.
At least Carl had finished shaving his head for him without being too
much of a pain. That afternoon his legs started aching; major cramps in
his calves were agony. Half an hour later Carl started moaning, too.
Mom did her worried thing but when she rubbed his legs it made things a
lot better. She used to rub him when he was a little kid, he had
forgotten how nice it was. If only his body wasn't hurting so much it
might have been pretty nice.
They both fell asleep early, but they both wore a path to the pot every
couple of hours. He sat down to piss, he wasn't going to take a chance
of pissing on himself again and having to sleep in it. Damn it was hard
to point his prick the right way.
The next day was more of the same. Damned if his hair hadn't grown back
overnight, it looked like he had a brush cut! What the hell kind of
food poisoning made your hair grow? Mom got all worried and took them
to the hospital to have them looked at. They only waited long enough
for Brent to have to shit twice before they saw him. Christ, were all
the doctors in this effin country chicks? At least this one was old
enough to maybe know something.
He went through the whole weighing and measuring routine again, then
told the doc what was happening. She looked at his papers and frowned.
"Damn incompetent help. This says you were 10 centimeters taller and
more than a stone heavier when you were in here the other night. They
just can't seem to get anything right on the night shift. The tests
don't show anything that's going to kill you, at lest not right away,
so I'll give you some quinine for the cramps and some stuff to slow
down diarrhea and let you get some rest. Just stay in bed and be sure
you get enough fluids. Dehydration is a real problem with diarrhea and
that can kill you, so take it seriously. How's the cast?"
"It itches, but I haven't really noticed I feel so lousy."
"I suppose there's a little good in everything. Let me see." The doctor
checked the cast. "This thing is so loose it's about to fall off. Are
they complete idiots on the night shift? Forget I said that, I don't
want to start a fuss. I'd better replace the cast with one that fits
and you can get out of here."
By the time the reached the hotel both of them were as weak as kittens.
The agony continued unabated as they fought for time on the pot. The
housekeeping staff were not amused in the morning, the place stunk like
a sewer. At one time Brett wouldn't have cared what they thought, but
he and Carl had to live with the stench. So much for the nose learning
to ignore odors after a while.
Brent's mother Claire politely ignored the odor and worried about the
children. Should she call Carl's family and let them know? They both
looked so weak and faded. What would telling them do besides make them
sick with sorry, she was doing enough worrying for both families. She
was even worried enough not to mind the wreck of her carefully crafted
travel schedule. Brent's father had gone on ahead so he could attend
the meetings he had scheduled, so she called him and gave vent to her
worries.
Brent was doing his own worrying. He wasn't about to tell his mother
just how sick he felt, he knew he would have to go back to the quack at
the hospital again and he didn't want to do that. Besides all the other
shit his nipples were starting to itch like mad and he sure wasn't
going to discuss THAT with his mother!
At least he was feeling well enough by the third night to take a
shower. With all the sweating and crapping he must smell like an ox.
Not that he'd ever smelled an ox, but he had visited a barnyard and had
a pretty good idea what one would smell like. At least someone had
found some plastic to wrap his cast in so it wouldn't get wet.
The water felt good, but when he took his head out of the soothing
stream the water dripped from his hair. The damn stuff was still
growing, it had to be almost an inch long! For that matter, Carl's
usual haircut was looking mighty shaggy. If he could figure out why he
could make a fortune selling it to bald old geezers.
He lathered himself up and scrubbed down his pits and crotch, but
something felt wrong. Could food poisoning make your dick shrink? Hah ?
hair growing and dick shrinking. Would an old geezer be willing to put
up with no prick if he could have hair? Some side effect!
Nah ? he just must be so out of it from all the crapping he wasn't
thinking straight. When the time came his little buddy would be right
there with him. Not that he'd ever fired a live round, much as he'd
tried. So far only solo war games. To bad he felt so lousy or he might
have fun in the shower.
When he dried himself off he had to pat his chest dry, dragging the
scratchy hotel towel across his nipples just plain hurt! Damn cheap
hotels. Couldn't they afford better linens?
He wasn't about to put his stinking pajamas back on, so he went out to
the room and got a new pair from the suitcase. Carl was watching a DVD
but turned to look at him as he came out. His face reflected his shock.
"Brent?"
"Yeh?"
"Um... Don't take this wrong but unh... I mean are you noticing
anything different about the family jewels?"
"Whatta mean?" Brent didn't like this one bit.
"Like, I mean does it feel like they're shrinking? Brent, I can hardly
find my prick and you don't look like you used to either."
"What kind of shit is this? It's just 'cause we been sick. Nothing's
changed, bubba. The girls are still in awe of whatever I give them,
don't you worry." But he did worry.
"Yeah, I guess it's just 'cause we're sick."
Brent put on the pajama tops but he could practically swim in them. The
arms ended four inches below his fingers, for chrissakes. And the
pants, he had to find a pin to keep them around his waist. He had to
roll the cuffs half a dozen times to keep from stepping on them. And
the cast was feeling loose again. What the hell was going on?
---
It was a bitch playing water polo with Neptune on the other team. The
slimy bastard kept turning into a fish and swiping the ball. At least
they had made him put down that damned trident before it deflated their
entire supply of balls. Sheela-Na-Gig called time and decided threw in
her ringer. Adaro was an oceanic daemon and ought to neutralize the old
bugger. Adaro dove in and the ref blew the whistle. As soon as Adaro
got the ball in his crablike pincers he created a waterspout and was at
the opposing goal before anyone knew what was happening. Maybe she
could get her hero to spout something else for her in the Orgy Room
after the game, just as long as he kept those big horns away from her.
Hah ? she had plenty of experience at handling horny males, be they
humans or deities.
The game was theirs after that. She deftly invited the old fish to the
Orgy Room for a celebration and was blowing in his ear and looking
forward to blowing other parts of him when Eros gave her butt a pinch.
"Looks like you're about to get something better than a lighter between
those pretty little lips." He sneered. One look at Adaro and that was
self evident. " What did you ever do to that creep that was trying to
light your fire, Sheela baby?"
"He'll be finding out what I felt like in a few days, lover boy. Right
now he should be smelling like a latrine and wondering where his dick
went. Speaking of dicks, I have a good idea where yours can go, fish
face. Come to mamma, it's spawning season!"
---
That night there were fewer trips to the bathroom, but they both woke
several times feeling their bladders were about to burst. Brent made a
vow that he would never again use the epithet 'piss on it' for the rest
of his life. He had damn well pissed enough for the rest of his life.
This time when he showered his hair was in his eyes. He scrubbed off
his upper body but was reluctant to soap up his crotch. When he finally
did it was obvious that, even left handed, that his balls were
practically gone and his prick could hardly be seen. What was he going
to do? He couldn't tell anybody about this, it was too embarrassing!
Carl had asked the other night, but how could he admit to him that he
was a fucking eunuch? What was happening to Carl?
"Hey Carl!" he hollered, opening the bathroom door. C'mere a minute."
"Whatcha want?"
"I want you to swear you'll never breath a word of this to anyone.
Swear it!"
"OK, I swear on a stack of dirty sweat socks. What's up?"
I mean it, Carl. What you asked the other night, you were right. Look
at me!.
"Shit! Brent, me too. There's nothing there any more."
Carl dropped his pants and Brent noticed he had a pin in his waistband,
too. There was barely a bump underneath Carl's pubic hair.
"How the hell do you piss? Brent exclaimed.
"I gotta sit down now. Brent, what's happening? They didn't tell us
about this in Health Class."
"They don't tell you a lot of things in school."
"Man, we gotta go see that doctor." Carl was adamant
"Are you outta your mind. No way I'm showing some effin chick doctor my
prick is shrinking.".
What the fuck? His voice had cracked like it did when it broke. That
was years ago, what was going on?
"Yeah, maybe you're right but something is really wrong. Jesus Brent,
what's going on. I know when you get as sick as this you loose weight,
but you gotta be six inches shorter. I never heard of any disease that
makes you shorter."
"Me either. And look at our hair! Yours gets any longer and you'll be
an effin girl."
"Don't say that, Brent. It's bad enough my prick is shrinking but I
don't want to be no efin girl!"
"Hey man, I'm going back to bed. I still feel like crap and I want to
lay down."
"Me too. We gotta get better sometime. It's gonna be OK, we're just
sick is all."
That evening the cramps started. It wasn't bad at first, nowhere near
as bad as the last couple of days squatting on the throne and shitting
their guts out. A dull steady ache that wouldn't go away, then slow,
rolling waves across their bellies. The full bladder feeling
intensified but neither on them could piss to save their lives. Sleep
finally came but it was little more than restless unconsciousness.
Claire came in the next morning, hoping to find the boys feeling
better. She was cheered that their room no longer smelled like an
outhouse, they must be getting better. With a common bath between the
bedrooms of the suite she shared far too much of the sickroom odor.
"Good morning, boys!" she was determined to be cheerful. "Are you
feeling better?"
"I still feel like crap, Ma". Brent was in too much pain to be
diplomatic, not that his tough guy image led him to diplomacy very
often.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Do you want any breakfast? You've hardly
eaten anything since you got sick."
"Hell no!" moaned Carl. "It feels like my stomach is trying to climb
out of my navel as it is. Ohhhh..." he moaned.
She went over to his bed. The boy looked so pale and shrunken, Brent
did too. Carl's hair was all tangled and stringy from the effects of
his illness, the poor boy looked like death warmed over.
Hair? My god, Brent's hair was a couple of inches long! She had just
about killed him when he shaved his head. She knew he did it just to
get her upset and it had worked. She and her husband had decided the
best way to handle it was to ignore it and not let him get the
satisfaction of shocking them. But now it had grown back in a mater of
days. What was going on?
"I'm going to make an appointment for you at the clinic the hospital
referred us to. I want you boys to take a shower and clean up. I'll let
you know when they can take us. She kissed Brent, who was feeling lousy
enough that he didn't even mind, and left the room.
"Still the same old Mom, ain't she?" Brent commented.
"Yeah, parents never change."
"Carl?"
"Yeah?"
"They're gone, my family jewels are just plain gone."
"Mine too. What are we going to do, Brent?"
"I don't know. Maybe the doctor..."
"No way. I ain't having no effin doctor treat me like a freak and poke
things into me." He was trying to sound tough but the groan that
followed his outburst diluted the effect considerably. "Christ! I feel
like there's an effin alien growing in my guts and trying to get out!"
"I was thinking someone was trying to blow up a basketball in mine, but
I like the alien bit better. Everything aches."
"Well, at least we aren't fighting over who has the shit the worst any
more."
"I guess that's a good thing. Your Mom's right, I do need a shower. See
you in a few, Brent."
He went off to the bathroom and closed the door. He couldn't help it,
he had to look at himself in the mirror. He was enough shorter now that
he had to step back from it to see his whole body. His face looked
different, rounder and fuller, which was strange with all the weight he
had lost. His crotch was as smooth as any porn star he had seen in the
DVDs his dad thought he had hidden in the garage. For that matter,
there was no doubt that his hips were much larger and his waist was
much smaller. There was no way to deny it, the mirror didn't lie. He
shuddered as he sat down and tried once again to piss in vain.
The hot water felt good, especially on his chest. It was all puffy and
red and itched. When he lathered his strangely smooth crotch he
wondered what he was going to do. He could feel the little hole where
he was supposed to piss out of. If he could ever piss again, that is.
It was right above a crease that his finger could slip into just a
little bit. This was getting too weird for words.
He felt better after the shower. Rather than put on the sweat soaked
pajamas he wrapped a towel around himself. Not that Brent hadn't seen
him naked before, but he was suddenly ashamed of the way his hips
looked, well, like a girl's. Fortunately Brent went into the shitter as
soon as he left, so he didn't have to figure out how to change without
him seeing.
His clothes just plain didn't fit any more. He could barely get his
underwear on over his enlarged hips and he had to pull his belt to the
last notch to get the pants to say on him. What had once been baggy
jeans were almost tight on his hips and very loose in the waist. The
now oversized T-shirt hid most of that, but what was he going to do?
Brent repeated the scene in the bathroom almost exactly as Carl had,
the only difference being he had to use his left hand to explore
himself while his too loose cast was covered in plastic. He hadn't even
thought about the broken arm with all the rest of the shit he had gone
through in the last couple of days. It didn't even hurt any more. He
must not have been careful enough wrapping it in the plastic, it had
gotten wet and felt all slimy. With only a little bit of effort it slid
right off his arm. They might not be able to cure the shits over here,
but they must know something about treating broken arms if it healed
this fast.
Some joke.
He was relieved to see that Carl had left the room, little realizing
that his buddy had gone through the exact same exercise only minutes
before.
When he got to the living room of the suite his mother took one look at
him and turned white. Brent! She grabbed him and hugged him, which was
completely unnerving. He had long since grown to tower over his mother,
now she was taller than he was.
"Your cast! Bent, where's your cast?"
"It fell off Mom. It doesn't hurt. Really."
"What's going on, Brent? This is all so crazy!"
---
Sheela-Na-Gig was relaxing in the Lounge watching "The Gods Must Be
Crazy" for about the millionth time. Ever since it came out it had
become a favorite in The Home. Just as the bottle went flying into the
air she felt a pair of strong hands of on her shoulders.
"Ohhhhh.... Let me hit the pause button but don't you dare stop!"
She had no idea who it was but as a goddess she realized the power of
worship.
"I abase myself before the power of your mighty hands, my Lord. Pray
shower thy servant with your blessings and move a little more to the
left."
Her prayers were granted as the powerful fingers found the exact right
spot. Maybe those pesky Christians were right about Heaven after all.
As she relaxed into the massage she felt breath as hot as an Egyptian
desert wind caress her ear, followed by a nuzzle on her ear lobe.
"Petbe, you old devil, you haven't been around in an eternity! How does
a poor, little Celtic goddess of fertility rate such treatment from the
God of Revenge?"
"Why to express my admiration for your creativity and panache, dear
lady. The word has gotten 'round about your little payback on those two
JDs. I couldn't have done better myself."
"Not bad for spur of the moment, if I do say so myself. I just kind of
lost it with those twerps. Flick me with a Bic, will they? Right about
now they should be looking up the work 'eunuch' in the dictionary, that
is if the buggers know how to read. Might be almost better if they had
to ask their mommies what it means."
"Sweet, my dear. Almost as sweet as your lovely melons." His hands
descended to her breasts and checked their freshness."
"Mmmmm. Just a little to the right, big boy. Yes! Just one thing, my
Pet."
"And that is?"
"This is a personal interest and not professional?"
"I intend to get quite personal, my dear. You deserve a reward for your
aid to my cause, as it were."
Unlike many of his colleagues, Petbe was a God of his Word.
---
Sitting in the waiting room of the clinic wasn't any better than the
waiting room of the hospital, but at least he didn't have to run to
take a shit every fifteen minutes this time. Neither one of them wanted
to leave the hotel room, but Brent's mother had insisted. It was
embarrassing to go out looking like this, people were going to laugh at
them. One thing sure, the damned doctor wasn't going to be taking a
look at Brent's crotch. Where the hell had his cock gone?
They were sitting there waiting for the doctor when Carl's stomach
started to growl and he suddenly felt hungry for the first time in
days. He tried to ignore it but, damn he was hungry.
"Hey mom, you got any change?" Brent asked. "I'm getting hungry all of
a sudden."
"Me too!" added Carl.
In no time the two were attacking the vending machine and loading up on
fatty snacks, much to the dismay of Brent's mother. They should be
eating healthy food after days without a meal, but the vending machine
was all that was available. She even had to ask the receptionist for
change when they weren't satisfied.
When the doctor finally saw Brent he had some difficulty keeping his
professional face intact, if this was a boy he must have flunked gross
anatomy. Goddam Americans, they were all insane. Well, no matter, the
workup said the kid had broken his arm. In order to satisfy the mother
he had to order an x-ray, but as far as he could tell the arm was in
fine shape. Overprotective woman, that break had to be months old.
Other than that the kid looked as good as she should after a bout of
the flu.
On the way back to the hotel, Claire stopped and fed the boys, who ate
like ravenous wolves. They must have been starving after being so ill
for so long.
"Milk? You haven't had a glass of milk in ages, Brent." Claire was
agast.
"It just tastes good, Mom. See, Carl is having milk, too. I'd forgotten
just how good it was. Can I get another glass?"
"Me too!" Carl requested between forkfuls of mashed potato.
It was nice to have the boys feeling more like themselves, but it still
wasn't right that their illness had changed them so much.
The scene was repeated at dinner time and again at breakfast, both of
the boys guzzling milk and eating an amazing amount, even for teenage
boys. If they didn't stop soon Brent wouldn't fit into his pants, he
was already awfully tight about the hips and so was Carl.
As the boys sat and watched yet another DVD Brent couldn't help but
noticing Carl kept shifting position and wiggling in his chair.
"You gotta shit again? We can hit the pause button." Brent offered.
"Nah, I just ache like hell. Must have eaten too much, I'm getting all
cramped up again."
"Me too, but it ain't so bad. Not like last time. Better than the
shits."
"I don't know. Feels like something's kicking inside my gut."
"Ignore it, we don't want to have to see no effin doctor again."
"Too right! What did the doctor do to you?
"Just looked at me funny. I don't know how it happened but my arm is as
good as new."
"Well, the rest of us is awful damn new, too. What are we going to do
when we get home? If we take our clothes off in PE we wouldn't get out
of there alive!"
"Jesus, I never thought of that!" Brent exclaimed.
"Brent, we look like fucking girls down there. All we need is boobs and
we're doomed.
"Christ, Carl, don't make things worse. We got enough trouble already."
"We're both shorter than your mom now Brent and I don't think I'm going
to be able to wear these jeans much longer. What the hell am I going to
wear?"
"You can wear mine, I was bigger than you before... before... Well,
before whatever it is that happened to us."
"Brent old buddy, you barely can pull those jeans around your fat ass
any more, either."
"Shut up and start the movie again. I don't want to talk about it any
more.
Their appetites continued unabated for the rest of the day, both of
them craving milk and cheese and high fat goodies. Brent convinced his
mother to order room service so they wouldn't have to go out of the
room and she humored them. The cramps lessened but didn't go away, and
by the time the boys went to bed both of them were scratching their
chests and getting mighty sick of the itching.
They slept restlessly and Brent was the first to get to the bathroom.
When he sat down to piss he knew something was very wrong. Gingerly he
prodded his crotch and felt his finger slip between the folds of flesh
below the spot where he had been pissing from. His finger went in up to
the first knuckle!
Carl, who had been the more laid back and accepting of the two boys
just plain lost it.
"Brent! Jesus Brent, help me!"
Brent came running through the bathroom door.
"What's wrong?"
"Brent, I got a fucking slit! We're turning into girls, Brent. I got a
fucking goddam slit and I can put my finger in it!"
"You're fucked up, man. It can't happen."
"The hell it can't! You checked yourself out yet? It's happening to
both of us. Go see what you got down there if you don't believe me."
"You know I ain't got shit down there any more. I don't have to look."
"I bet you got less than shit now, Brent." He got off the toilet. "Sit
down and see. Go ahead."
"Wanna bet you're just completely fucked up?"
"No way. I won't look if you want." Carl turned his head away and tried
to be as tactful as a 17 year old boy could be.
"Look all you want, old buddy. Brent confidently probed his crotch with
a finger and it slipped inside without any effort."
"Holy fuck. This can't be happening!"
"BOYS!" Claire was knocking on the bathroom door that opened on her
part of the suite. "Are you boys all right?"
"We're fine, Mom!" No way he was going to admit this. No effin way!
"You're sure? You're making a lot of noise in there."
"Just horsing around. We're fine."
"OK, then. Get dressed for breakfast, I'm getting hungry."
"OK Mom. Just a minute."
They quickly left the bathroom so Claire couldn't hear them talking.
"I'm starving again, let's figure this out later. Like after
breakfast." Carl said.
"Suits me. Let's get dressed."
But that presented its own problems. There was no way either one of
them could fit into their old underwear, their hips were too big, nor
could they get their pants over their hips. They finally struggled into
them and left them unzipped, hoping to cover them with long T-shirts.
How long that would last they didn't know, but what else could they do?
Brent pulled off his pajama tops and groaned
"I don't fucking believe it. What's happening to us Carl? I got fucking
boobs."
Carl looked at him and sure enough, there were small but definite
breasts on Brent's chest. Not liking what he knew he was going to find
he removed his own top. Sure as shit, there were a pair of little
breasts on him, too.
"We can't hide this much longer, Brent. We're going to have to tell
your Mom sometime."
"Not a chance! Are you out of your mind?"
"Yeah, I'm out of my mind. How else could we be turning into goddam
girls?"
"Let's worry about it after breakfast, I'm starving again."
Claire didn't know what to say when the boys came out of their room.
It was all wrong, they both had hair down to their shoulders and their
clothes didn't fit right. They didn't even walk right. If she didn't
know that it was her son she would have taken them for a couple of
girls who had absolutely no fashion sense. This just wasn't right!
But Brent was so prickly she didn't say anything to them, she didn't
want to start an argument. What was she going to do when Harold got
back? He was going to be terribly upset!
So she just took them to a place a couple of blocks from the hotel for
breakfast and they again ate like lumberjacks, drinking glass after
glass of milk. They immediately retreated to their room when they got
back to the hotel. She ordered room service for lunch in order to keep
them happy, but she was determined to get a decent meal for dinner.
With trepidation she turned a deaf ear to their pleading and told them
to get dressed for dinner or else.
They couldn't do it. Like the proverbial elephant on the table there
was absolutely no way they could politely ignore the changes that were
happening. By dinner time there was simply no doubt that her son was in
desperate need of a bra when he sheepishly came out of the bedroom.
"Brent! What's happening to you?"
"Nothing!" he growled, or would have if his voice were not changing so
radically. No matter what was happening to his body his spirit was that
of a rebellious young man who knew he couldn't give an inch without
loosing face.
"Don't hand me that crap, Brent! Something is happening to you and
Carl. It makes no sense but you're both changing so much!"
He just stood there, mute and sullen.
"Brent, we can't ignore this any more. You look like a girl, Brent! You
have breasts and your body..." She dissolved into tears, unable to say
any more.
Without thinking Brent dropped his tough guy attitude and came over to
his mother. He put his arms around her and held her, something he
hadn't done in years unless she made him. Her tears had been the
catalyst to unlock his own fear and doubt and they held each other,
crying until the tears were all released. Carl just stood around
feeling very uncomfortable and not knowing what to do.
"Oh dear, what are we going to do?" Claire wailed.
---
The weight room was quiet today and Sheela-Na-Gig was pleased with
that. She was going to have to cut out those all night sessions with
Quetzalcoatl if she wanted to keep her figure. Ever since the old boy
gave Chocolate to mankind he had used it to lure dozens of goddesses to
his bed. A night with the Big Q certainly included a good deal of
pleasantly sweaty exercise, but not enough to burn off all those
truffles he always had on hand.
She was working on her thighs when Pandora came into the room.
"Sheela! I've been looking for you all over"
Bad news that, the woman was always poking her nose in where it wasn't
wanted. Why had the Board of Trustees ever decided to let legendary
Mortals spend eternity in The Home along with the Gods?
"I just can't wait to hear about your little disciples! You wouldn't be
trying to drum up a new following and leave us, would you?
That might not be a bad idea, at least it would keep the Her Nosiness
away from an honest, hardworking goddess.
"I have better taste in disciples than those two. I'm just teaching
them a lesson in respect. Pretty soon they'll know what it's like to
have every Tom, Dick and Harry shoving things up their twats. Damn, it
felt good to use The Power again, even if I had to borrow most of it
from the boys at the table. Those two are going to find out what being
a Fertility Symbol is all about!
"How curious! I'm dying to hear what happens next. What was the Escape
Clause?"
"It hardly counts, but if either of them should manage to stay virgin
until they consummate a marriage of love then the curse is kaput.
Otherwise they spread their pretty little legs for anyone who wants to
hold their nose and screw 'em silly. 'Course, being cursed by a
fertility goddess should have them dripping and panting any time
anything male comes within fifty meters."
"How clever!. By the way, have you heard what Baldur and Xaman-Ek have
been doing?
Pandora might like to call it curiosity, but Sheela-Na-Gig knew gossip
when she heard it.
---
"Take off your shirt, son, and let's see what's happening."
"Aww, mom!"
"I saw everything there was to see when you were a baby."
"That's what you think. It's not there any more."
"What are you talking about?"
"It's true, Mrs. Markwood. We're both turning into girls."
"This can't be happening, it just can't be happening!"
"Yeah, then how come I got a cunt?" Bret was still trying to reclaim
his Defiant Youth status.
"Brent! The proper word is vagina, and I'll thank you to use it."
"Well, whatever it is you want to call it I got one, along with boobs
and hips. None of my clothes fit any more!"
"I figured out the clothes part myself, Brent. I'm not blind."
"What are we going to do, Mrs. Markwood? Nobody is going to believe
this. What am I going to tell my parents?"
"I just don't know. How are we going to tell Harold when we meet him in
Paris?"
"Oh Jesus, Dad's going to go apeshit!"
"Watch your mouth! It?s bad enough for a boy to use language like that
but if you really are a girl it's all that much worse."
"Hey, aren't you the one whose always complaining about double
standards?"
"Brent, in case you haven't noticed you're smaller than I am and I
could have a try at bending you over my knee again."
"Yeah, you and what army?"
That was an old family joke, one that came from Brent and his sibling's
attempts to gang up on their parents. It hadn't worked very well then
but it did diffuse the tension of the current situation.
"Let me get my tape from the Knitting bag, we're going to have to
measure you both before I can find any new clothes for you." She found
the tape and returned. "All right, child ? off with the shirt. Oh, my!
I... Oh Brent, it's really true!"
"I told you so, Mom."
"Of course you did but I didn't want to believe it even when I could
see it. Hold still a minute. There... Leave the tape alone, I have to
measure to find out what cup size you need in a bra."
"No way! I ain't wearing no bra!"
"Child, with a C cup you are going to need the support or you'll be
aching all time. Believe me I know!"
Brent didn't want to think of his mother's breasts in that way.
"I can take it. No bra for me."
"Brent, we might not have a choice." Carl offered. "We didn't have
breasts this morning and now look at us. What will we look like by
tomorrow?"
"Oh dear, I never thought of that." worried Clair. Perhaps I should
find a simple sports bra for now and we can get something permanent
whenever all this stops. Carl, I don't want to embarrass you, but I
should measure you too."
"Go ahead. These things are already aching. I don't really want a bra
either but if it will help me feel better I'll try it."
"Well, at least one of you is being sensible." She measured Carl and
wrote down the results. "That's funny, you both have exactly the same
measurements. Stand together a minute, won't you?"
"Awww mom."
"Nonsense, I want to see. You are exactly the same height. You're even
starting to look a little bit alike, too."
"Just what I need, a twin sister. I was getting to like being an only
child with the rest of them gone."
"Brent, the way you act sometimes I'm looking forward to having no
children at home. Be that as it may, I need to go out and get you some
clothes that fit. I'm not going to survive on room service for the rest
of my life."
Brent and Carl were vastly relieved when his mother returned with the
new clothes. They had managed to work themselves into a state about
having to wear a dress or something. Claire had realized she needed to
find something as close to their regular attire ad possible, anything
girly would have been greeted with derision.
She still couldn't understand how this could have happened, but there
no doubt that her son was now shaped like a girl. She was frankly
afraid to ask for the ultimate proof of his femininity, that would have
to wait. Maybe forever.
"I'll let you two figure out how to put these on." she said as the
placed the bags of clothes on table. It's not all that hard. When
you're dressed we really need to find some dinner, I'm starving."
They retreated to their bedroom and opened the packages. Plain, white
cotton panties, white sports bras, black slacks and a white, simple
blouse. Clothing that any woman would wear just about any place in the
world.
That was just he problem: any woman.
It was the hunger pangs as much as anything else that drove them to put
the things on. They had to help each other snap the bras, an act that
reduced the two friends to helpless giggles. Very feminine sounding
giggles at that. They sheepishly emerged from the bedroom. Claire
almost started crying again when they did, how could these two young
women be the boys she had known all their lives?
"Your hair is a mess. You're going to have to learn how to brush it if
you want to keep it that long.
"You can shave mine off any time!" growled Brent.
"Here, let me show you how."
"Jeez, Mom. I ought to be able to figure out how to use a brush." He
took it from her with ill grace and ran it through his improbably long
hair, then handed it to Carl.
"Ready? Then let's eat."
The boys were hesitant to leave the comfort of the room dressed as they
were, but Claire wasn?t stopping and the had to follow. To their
immense relief she didn't take them to the restaurant in the hotel,
that would have been too much. They ate at a Chinese place a couple of
blocks away. By the time they reached the place they were not exactly
comfortable with being two young women walking on the streets of
London, but starting to adjust.
"Boy ? Ladies, if you have the kind of appetite you have had recently,
please remember that a lady needs to eat politely in public. You don't
want to attract any special attention to yourselves."
"Yeah, Mom."
"Yes, Mrs. Markwood."
"Good, then let's see what thy have.
They woke up the next morning but neither one of them was eager to find
out what changes had occurred overnight. From the weight on his chest
Brent knew that his breasts had to be a lot bigger. How long was this
going to go on?
Carl was the one to get up first. "Come on, Brent. Get up and let's see
who's got the biggest boobs this morning."
"Got to hell. I'm sleeping."
"Sure. You hungry?"
"Not really."
"Maybe that means we won't be growing any more boob. Damn, they're
heavy! I feel like I'm going to fall over."
"Go ahead, maybe they'll cushion the fall."
"Jesus Mamma! You ever want to meet Pamela Anderson?
"Not like this."
"Well, I think I just met her tits and they're on me."
"Go to hell!"
"I'll probably end up there looking like this. Hey, my finger goes all
the way up my twat this morning."
"Don't let Mom hear you say that. The proper word is 'vagina'." he
sneered.
"Whatever. I wonder if that blouse will still fit."
"Jesus, listen to you. You'd think you liked all this shit."
"Well, not exactly like, but it is interesting. Didn't you ever wonder
what it would be like to be a girl?"
"You're sick. I want to be a guy. Fuck this shit."
"Careful, your mamma wouldn't approve of such language from a young
lady. I'm going to need a new bra, my cups do overfloweth mightily."
"Fuck you."
"I suppose I could get fucked now, but you aren't going to be the one
to do it."
"You wouldn't do that, would you?"
"Why not? It ought to be interesting."
"No way, Jose."
"Well, the guy would have to be a lot more polite than you before I
opened up to him."
"That's gross. Shut up, will you?"
"Only if you let me see your boobs. I bet they're just like mine.
"I told you, I don't bet. I'd loose that one, anyway. Jesus they're
big.
"Kind of hard to drool over them now, isn't it? I bet you dreamed of
big tits like these while you wacked off. Now you got 'em."
"Let's get dressed. What's Mom going to think about this now?"
"You'll know in a minute
Claire had been nerving herself ever since she woke up for the changes
that the boys would have gone through overnight. How long would this
last? How was she going to cope? How the devil could she tell Carl's
parents? This was supposed to be a vacation, dammit. Relaxation, not
more worries.
Her son was a girl! Her son was wearing a bra and needed it!
Her Son!
"Hi, Mrs. Markwood."
"Good morning, boys. Oh my god, I don't believe it."
"It is kind of hard to believe, isn't it? I don't know how it happened
but there's no doubt I'm a girl now, Mrs. Markwood. Brent is too, but
he doesn't want to admit it yet."
"How can anyone deny it? I can hardly tell you two apart. You look like
identical twins!"
"He's the stupid one." Said Brent, pointing to Carl.
"Look who'd talking."
"Enough, boys." Cried Clair. "Oh my, I can't keep calling you boys.
What am I going to do?"
"How 'bout we eat breakfast and figure it out later?"
"I suppose that makes sense. You um, girls seem to be feeling much
better this morning."
"I don't feel sick like I was, but I'm not sure I feel much better,
Mrs. Markwood."
"No, I suppose not. Maybe things will look better after breakfast."
From the way both girls wiggled and struggled with their bras at the
meal it was obvious they needed to go shopping very soon. Claire was
rightly worried about taking Brent into the store for new clothes, she
was sullen and uncooperative through the whole meal. Carl, on the other
hand, seemed to exhibit an interest in looking good in her new
condition. That wasn't too much of a surprise, Carl had always been
happy to get dressed up for a special occasion while Brent had to be
coerced to wear anything but jeans and a T-shirt.
Since the two girls were virtually indistinguishable, Claire found
herself helping Carl while Brent sat sourly on a bench and glared at
them. After a little while she almost forgot that this was her son's
best friend she was shopping with, it was like having her grown
daughter back for a time.
"Mrs. Markwood? I don't understand much about girl's fashions. I don't
want to look like a frump, but I wouldn't want to look too girly
either."
"Please Carl, uh Carla, if you're comfortable with it call me Mom. You
and Brent are so much alike now it would seem strange if you kept
calling me Mrs. Markwood."
"I'll try, Mom. That seems as funny as Carla, though. I guess it makes
sense."
"It's going to take a lot of getting used to, isn't it? You'll be safe
with a pair of black slacks in just about any situation outside a
formal party. You can wear just about any top with it and look pretty
nice. I'd stay away from anything low cut or with lots of frills. With
your, um, endowment you might want to be careful how much attention you
attract to your breasts. You're going to have to cope with far too many
men who talk to your cleavage as it is. That's a fact of life for a
woman."
"That makes sense. That guy in the checkout line at the restaurant was
looking at us awful closely, wasn't he?"
"I don't think he was looking at me, Carla. I don't suppose you would
like to look at skirts yet?"
"Uh, no thanks, Mom. I think I'll need a little time before I go there.
What about shorts? It gets hot here in the summer."
"Are you wiling to keep shaving your legs?"
"I hadn't thought about that. Is it hard?"
"No harder than shaving your face, I would think. It's just a pain
sometimes to keep them shaved smooth. You only need to do it a couple
of times a week or before something special."
"I didn't even have to shave my face that often yet. Will you help me
pick out some shorts?"
"Certainly. No ? not those. You would attract as much attention to your
crotch with those as your top will be getting."
"This is too weird. I can't believe we're talking like this Mrs. ?
Mom."
"I'm not sure I have all my faculties in working order either Carla,
but what else are we going to do?"
"What am I going to tell my real parents, Mom?"
"Oh dear, I've been trying to figure that out since you got sick. I
just don't know. If it took me so long to let myself see you were
becoming a woman while I watched you change then how will someone else
ever believe it?"
"Well, they probably won't even let me back in the USA with a passport
that doesn't look like it belongs to me. Those Homeland Security geeks
will lock me away forever."
"This is going to be awfully complicated. Harold thinks I've gone out
of my mind and I haven't told him half of what's happening to you. How
are we going to convince the government?"
"Well my old man thinks that anyone who works for the feds have to be
completely incompetent anyway. Maybe we should just loose my passport
and try to get a new one."
"Let's talk to Harold about that, he knows how to handle those things."
"I guess so. Should I try these on?"
"It would be a good idea. You will remember to use the women's changing
room?"
"As if I could forget."
Carla went off to try on the clothes while Brent sat and glowered,
working up a truly magnificent foul mood. He had never believed that
the world was fair to him before, now he damn well knew that everyone
was out to get him. Even his own mother was trying to turn him into a
goddam bitch while his best friend pranced around with boobs bigger
than anyone he had ever seen and was actually happy about it. It
completely escaped him that his own breasts were identical to Carla's,
he wasn't going to let facts get in the way of a good tantrum.
Jesus, now they were over there and looking at bras. He hated the bra
he was wearing but it never occurred to him that it bothered him so
much because it was way too small in the cups after last night's
marathon growth session. To him it was a symbol of how unfair the world
was. He hated wearing a bra, dammit.
Now the salesbitch was over with them and it looked like she was going
to pad her commission by selling Carl everything she could. Not Carl,
his mother. His own effin mother was buying an effin bra for his best
friend and he was going along with it!
They disappeared in the changing rooms for a while, then Carl came out
and his boobs were sticking out even farther than when he went in. What
did he think he was doing? Oh Christ, Mom was coming at him with an
effin bra in her hand.
"Brent, I think you'll be much more comfortable if you try a bra that
fits you properly."
He just stared at her like she was some kind of freak. She was some
kind of freak to be going on like this."
"Please, darling. Don't be upset. I'm only trying to help you."
He grabbed the damn thing and went in the door, if he didn't he'd never
hear the end of it. He knew how his mother could ride a subject forever
and grind it into him until he was sick to death of it. It didn't help
that she was right, the bra did feel much better but he shouldn't need
an effin bra. He was a guy! His own mother was treating him like an
effin bitch. Any minute now she was going to make him put on some
frilly piece of shit and make him even more girly.
He wasn't going to do it! She was over with Carl picking out stockings
or pantyhose or something. While she wasn't looking he faded into the
aisles of the store and beat it out the nearest exit. No way he was
going to let her treat him like a girl.
"Those look very nice on you, Carla. Your sandals will only go so far."
"I know. My old sneakers don't fit me any longer, either.
"Then we should get you a new pair. Harold is going to have a kitten
when he sees the bill, but you have to have clothes to wear."
"I don't know what to say, Mrs. Markwood."
"Mom, remember?"
"You should be good for a while with your new wardrobe. At least you
and Brent can share your clothes and make them go a little farther.
Where did he go?"
"Still in the changing room? I'll go check."
"Thank you, Carla, that's sweet of you. He doesn't seem to be taking
this too well."
Just as they had all been slow to accept the transformation, the
realization that Brent had run away came slowly. Claire was worried
sick when she returned to the hotel, hoping Brent would be waiting for
them. The suite was empty and cold, the cleaning staff had straightened
things up and it looked like nothing had been touched.
Claire called Harold on the cell, he was just about to enter the
chunnel and return to England. There was nothing they could do but wait
as the train made it's way over the rails to London.
Lunch was completely forgotten in the turmoil and dinner was a morose
affair, once again from room service because Claire didn't want to
take the chance Brent would return without her being there. At last the
door to the suite opened and Harold came in. Claire ran to him and
engulfed him in a desperate embrace.
"Any word?"
"None, he hasn't called. Harold, the boy hasn't even got a shilling on
him. What's he going to do?"
"Whatever he damn well wants to do, just like usual. Sometimes I wonder
how he managed to stay alive with all the bonehead stunts he's pulled."
"Harold, you need to meet Carla, maybe you'll believe me now."
"Hello, Mr. Markwood. I'm sorry that all this is happening to you. I
don't want to be a burden to your family."
"Is that really you, Carl?"
"It's really me. I don't know how this happened but whatever made me so
sick has changed me to a girl. I mean completely, everywhere. It
shouldn't be possible but it still happened."
"I hardly see how it could be your fault, my dear. I doubt you went out
of your way to rewrite the laws of genetics just to cause trouble for
us. When we find Brent it would be interesting to have a genetic
analysis done and see just how complete this change really is."
"It's complete, sir. I have everything a real woman is supposed to have
as far as I can tell. I think that means you're going to have to teach
me about how to handle a period, Mom."
It wasn't very funny, but they all needed something to break the
tension.
"When the time comes, dear. Harold? Should we call the police? I
hesitate because how can we explain how our son is now our daughter.
They'll want his passport, I'm sure."
"I don't know. I don't like the idea of him wandering around London
very much, but it might make things worse if we treat him like a child.
He's so close to 18 as not to matter and you know how sensitive he was
about that. We could end up driving him away if we guess wrong."
"Mr. Markwood, I have an idea. I met some girls in the emergency room
the other night and got their number. I guess I'm not going to use it
the way I hoped to but they're from around here and know the area. I
could tell them that I'm my sister or something and maybe they can
help."
"That sounds like as good an idea as any. Give them a call, Carla."
It was getting late and Brent was tired an hungry. His feet hurt from
the too big sandals he was wearing and this back hurt from the weight
of his damned boobs. Why hadn't he taken his wallet or swiped some
money from Mom's purse before he took off? Stupid.
The area was looking pretty seedy, but he hadn't the faintest idea of
where he as. In the distance a sustained roar told him a motorcycle was
approaching. Approaching too damned fast for these narrow streets. As
it got louder it suddenly idled down with a throaty roar.
"Hey chickie, you lookin' for a ride? Wanna sample my hog?"
I bet he thinks he's real smart with that line. He wasn't sure what
move he heard it in but He knew it wasn't original. He was riding a
real hog, however, not one of those effin put-puts that everybody seems
to drive around here. Gleaming chrome and black leather, on both the
bike and the rider. What the hell? He would only freeze to death if he
stayed on the streets any longer.
"Depends on how much sauce your hog can make, buddy." May as well let
him know they had both watched the same movie.
"Saddle up, chickie, I'm gonna take you for a ride!"
At least his sandal shod feet were getting warm from the exhaust. He
would bet that the biker was getting hot from his breasts as Brent
leaned into his body. Stupid fuck, little did he know.
"Hello?"
"May I speak to Barbara?"
"Speaking. Who is this?"
"Hi, my name is Carla, you met my brother Carl in the emergency room
the other night."
"Oh yeah. His buddy had gotten his arm banged up, right?"
"That's the one. He's gone home early, but when I talked to him he
thought you might be able to help us. I know this is kind of a strange
thing to ask, but my twin sister seems to have run away and we're
getting worried about her. We don't want to call the police and cause a
big scene. Is there any chance you and your friends could help us look
for her ?"
"Sounds like a job for Sherlock Holmes or something."
"Too bad he isn't real. I figure she went out drinking and got herself
into trouble. She's done that before."
"Too right. Been there myself. I suppose we could force ourselves to
do a bit of a pub crawl and see if we could find her, especially since
that was what we were going to do anyway. You game to come along?"
"Of course. Where should I meet you?"
"You at the same hotel that Carl was at?"
"Sure thing."
"We'll meet you there in a bit, then. I'll round up the usual suspects
and we can have a look. Be sure to bring your ID."
"I'm staying sober tonight. If we do find her I want to be straight
enough to get her home."
"Your choice. Be there in a mo, Carla."
She hung up the phone and looked at Brent's parents, who didn't quite
know whether to be pleased at the search or upset about their young
charge going out on a drinking spree.
"Has Brent ever gotten into real trouble drinking, Carla?"
"Do you really want to know? I had to tell her something."
"Is it wise for you to go out with a crowd you don't really know?"
"Maybe not wise, but what else can we do except call the cops? I really
meant it, even if my ID were any good I wouldn't do any drinking
tonight. I'm confused enough with this being a girl as it is."
"Hey chickie, fast enough for ya?" the burly biker hollered as they
flew down the street.
"Floor it, man. Get some speed up!" Brent yelled back. He was thrown
back into the seat rest as he hung on for dear life while the big
machine accelerated. They wove in and out of traffic and left the city
proper and found their way to the suburbs. At last the bike pulled into
a house with dozens of hogs scattered on the lawn and driveway.
"Party time, Chickie. You sound like a Yank."
"I am, Hog Man. Is it true you guys drink your beer warm?"
"Wouldn't know. Don't truck with beer, chickie. I goes for the hard
stuff every time. Let me show you around the place."
There was a major party going on inside; booze and bottles scattered
around with abandon. There were bodies scattered around as well, some
moving, some not, others moving together in an age old rhythm. One look
and the lust the fertility goddess had gifted to her welled up within
her. She didn't even see the powder that the burly biker slipped into
her glass before he handed it to her.
At the fifth stop on the pub crawl Carla had decided there wasn't much
hope of finding Brent. No one had seen her 'twin sister' anywhere they
stopped. Her companions were getting pretty happy, but since they were
walking between pubs there was no need for a Designated Driver, even if
Carla could have filled the bill that night. Still, she didn't give up
until closing time. As the group swayed it's way home Carla found
herself clinging tightly to someone named Bill. A pretty n
