Hey. Part of the Serge story just wrote itself in my head. I think.
---
I woke up
next to a dead dog this morning. I pray
to God I wasn’t the one who killed it, on account of it seems to have been
fucked to death.
It’s probably
a warning from the landlord that I’m three months behind on my rent. Little does he know that he’s just fed me for
the next six meals, bare minimum.
My ass
itches, which means I have to go to court today.
My wife is suing to up the alimony I pay
her. She claims that since she’s joined
the Cult of the Sexless God, her monetary situation is going to degrade, both
because people will discriminate against her and because she won’t be able to
have a relationship with another human being ever again.
I’m calling
my lawyer in for this case, not because I need him, but because I want him
there when I pull down my ex’s pants to see if she’s really got that SafEpoxy Seal
over her yet. My lawyer, he’s got a
little camera instead of a left eye. If
that woman still has the Temporary Temptation Tarpaulin over her, I’m in the
clear. If not, well, I can make a few
bucks selling shots to the Webernet. SG
cultists never pose nude and, wouldntcha know it, but that makes some men want
them even more. I know there’s a fetish
for everything, but a person you can’t stick it in (or let them stick it in you,
the men no longer having penises) and who’ve been brainwashed to clamp down
their teeth on anything that isn’t actual food…well, that there’s not my kinda
fucked-up.
The Emperor
turns 77 today, which means free and beautiful sex on every channel
tonight. The ceremonies will also be
projected onto every available wall over two stories tall. Everywhere tonight, people getting off on him
getting off on people getting off.
Orgasms all around! If I go out
on the street after dark, I’ll find somebody looking for a partner for the big
event. I don’t want a partner, though. I want a goddamned job.
The court
put a little chip in my head twenty-six months ago that killed my only
marketable skills: my years of training as a ninja assassin. Now I’m lucky if I can squat to shit without
throwing a disc. The one time the court actually
busts me, it’s for something I didn’t do.
Figures.
Somebody
knocks on my door like they mean it. I
don’t bother to put on a shirt. Or
pants. I take a look through the
peephole and see two men in bright blue suits, wearing those weird Blue Blocker
sunglasses. They’re both smiling wide
enough for me to count their teeth.
“Mr. Corrie?”
says the one in front, who’s about a head shorter than me and two shorter than
his buddy.
“Unless you’ve
brought me free booze or loose women, then no.”
He gives me
a weird little look, keeps smiling as he presses a button on his lapel that
says “Kiss me, you’re Irish” and suddenly I smell smoke. I whip my head around for a bit, seeing if
anything’s on fire, before I realize that it’s me. The back on my head is smoldering and
suddenly it hurts like a dozen wasps just stung my brain.
“FUCK!”
“Mr.
Corrie?”
I look
through the little fisheye lense, to see if they’re flashing federal badges or something, and it hits me; I realize I know exactly how to strike my peephole to send the metal rim
through the tall guy’s skull, and where and how hard to kick my shitty door to break
through and fracture the little guy’s pelvis.
He just
burned out the anti-ninja device. I do a
silent little jig on my creaky floor in celebration. It doesn’t make a sound.
“Now,
then. May we come in?”
“Mister,
you can have my precious anal virginity.
Door’s unlocked, lemme get us some beers…”
Gotta go. Officiating a wedding tomorrow.
