Main Man

"Wishful intention shall brink real sorcery into oblivious notion; you must know the difference."

Vexatious nuisance must be terminated upon arrival of Nymph Amethyst. She is the bearer of fusion; blood is a trait given to her physicality from Lucidity and Tusk, Nadia is her left alliance.

"When will this occur Instructor?"

"Whenever I am not there."

"How will I remember?"

"You will act the lesson."

"What of Ruby?"

"Is there a difference?"

"........she has different hair and eyes."

"Yes you look different however you do not."

"?"

"Size and weight."

"I miss her."

"She is next door!"

"Will she be there?"

"When will you be ready for your test?"

".........when I am prepared."

"When will that be?"

"I don't know."

"Good....."

"?"

"Try not to hurt me too bad."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm the one with the red scarf."

Mortification by Illicit Behaviorism (Prophecy Nymphomaniac Judiciary Warrior); if possible yet we conclude such has been documented amongst skeletons left from battles, reanimation accumulates inside various digital complexities such as splice specimens used for recreation however this being stated we concern of fatality by emotional grief

"How did you acquire the spot?"

Thaddeus reddens from collarbone to widow's peak; I brush away strawberry blonde strands while he searches for an explanation. A replay of Steph's disappearance illuminates the canvas sheet behind us; green rotating spectral diamonds, red splashes, ashes, spectacles, black plasma fingers, bovine bones, inaudible whispers, breathing, crackling, water dripping, thunder, unidentified woman speaking, child screaming, lightning, grass shards.

"Saliva."

"Shit Thad."

"You're going to want it bad."

"How will I suffice?"

"I'm adding a tap."

"???"

"I don't know how to describe it."

"Try for me."

"Real ones."

"People?"

"Just think of them as tourists......."

"How will I know what they are?"

"It'll be like a pop quiz; I didn't mean to do it like that either.....damn it."

"Fuck."

"Yeah."

"Fuck!"

"It's a billboard sign."

"For what?"

"........a strip joint."

"What?"

"Looks like a big ugly warehouse."

"I don't want to go there."

"You got to."

"?"

"These people are terrible Victoria; you got to finish the extreme."

"Thad I am slightly disappointed."

"Just slightly?"

"....."

"I am too. In you!"

"And why do you say that.....please do reveal your emotional stance."

"Well because you should just do it!"

"Alright."

"Really??"

"I understand."

"Are you still disappointed?"

"Yes."

"Oh."

"Do you want to know how I became disappointed?"

"I already know."

"Resolve yourself."

"How?"

"Put yourself in it."

"The strip club?"

"..."

"Shit......."

"?"

"We were going to do it at the same time....."

"You and Chester."

"Yeah."

"Hhhmmm...."

"I'll think about it."

"What is there to think about?"

"The consequence of being exposed to that kind of thing."

"Better than being a corpse."

"Okay. I'll be the bartender."

"Will you remember me?"

"No."

"Oh Thad.....I will miss you terribly."

"I'll keep a picture of you inside my shirt pocket."

"Will you know it's me?"

"I'll wonder about it for sure.....who she is and what she does...how I know of her..if she cares about me......if she loves me...enough."

"Enough?"

".....there's going to be six of me; not disk munchers either. Real walking talking clones.....fuck."

"How?"

"That's how many passages are inside your zone."

"Six possible worlds?"

"Yeah.....yeah. It's because of the bird...."

"The crane?"

"Yeah."

"How do I get rid of...four?"

"Piss."

"I already did."

"It's strong.....phew."

"Mark yourself with my urine."

"What?"

"Put a drop on your widow's peak."

"God damn it."

"Do it."

"........"

"Now."

"Now?"

"You have extra....."

"I want you to smell it!"

"How?"

"....."

"Do it....now....now."

"Okay, okay, okay."

He pours the remainder over his scalp then proceeds to enter phase six hundred sixty-six, final breach; his face is territorial shock which satisfies me. David prerecords a message.

"I forgot to tell you something really important!"

Thus no surprise; we listen.

"The fucking gasoline is for real. We had to use their crude oil river. Whatever the digibumps run will cancel all the other ones out. Shit is for real. Texas Tea....hillbilly crude crap yuck. Bye teachers. I am going to where Steph was at before we saw her last."

"My dear.....where have you been?"

"Huh?"

"Stephanie."

"......I was scared."

"Of who or what?"

"That thing."

"What thing?"

"....."

"?"

"I don't want him to hurt you so I am staying here until he comes out."

"What is he?"

"Envy."

"How does he arrive?"

"Through a big ugly ball."

"I'm going to carry you back to our class....."

"Okay."

"Ah....that's so much better."

"Child....."

"It's black too."

"My Child."

"They should know where I went."

"Who?"

"They're so sad. I hurt so much. It feels like spikes inside my heart."

"Who hurt them?"

"The people inside."

"Who are they?"

".......the most disgusting people I have ever been around."

"....dearest me."

"I miss you."

"I miss you."

"I miss you so much."

"......oh......no."

"I cry for you."

"........."

"You're my mom."

"Yes I am."

".....there is a man but I don't know about him."

"Try."

"There are so many."

"Yes."

"It's so fast."

"How fast?"

"A blink. One half."

"A half or one and a half?"

"Three fourths."

"..................we need to talk."

"Now is the best shot you got Mom."

"Okay, I am going to piss on you."

"Shit!"

"You got to do it too."

"Okay."

"What does it look like?"

"Bat vision."

"Shit."

"They fucked with it so bad......I can't see my own hands. It's all fucked."

"Is it similar to a world?"

"It is a world."

"Is there snow?"

"It's not real."

"........test it."

"What if they see me?"

"They will know what you are."

"What am I?"

"My son."

"I'm your daughter too."

"Yes you are."

"Blood comes out mysteriously and the bats fake my bodily functions....."

"To hide you."

"Yeah.....they're freaking out."

"Can you disband and come back?"

"Yeah but it's fucking with my teddy bear head."

".....you must remember your dreams."

"What is a dream?"

"The visions behind your eyelids."

"A dog woman."

"What?"

"There is a girl underneath a bridge adjacent to railroad tracks....."

"She is a dog?"

"Yes."

"Elaborate my dear."

"Face of a girl. Gray blue sad storm eyes and white silver fluffy gray hair. All over.....except her ass.......I hate people."

"They did that to her?"

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"She peeked at somebody."

"Doing what?"

"Using the bathroom."

"What did she see?"

"Something called a urinator."

"A piss machine?"

"Yeah."

"Keep yours clean."

"I don't even eat weed."

".......tell me more about her....."

"She has a reddish orange husky chow with her."

"Wow."

"He's gorgeous but he has knots in his fur."

"He covers her butt."

"Yeah."

"........does he...."

"He ate it."

"Good."

"There was a biker lesbian at a hotel looking to the side."

".......fuck."

"There were a bunch of those there."

"Hotels or lesbians?"

"Both."

"Make them think you are one."

"God damn it Mom! I'm so angry."

"I know."

"They know it's not me though....."

"What?"

"They know the code zapped me there."

"It won't be complete."

"I got to get all the way there."

"Why?"

"To get them out."

"......what of you?"

"I got to stay."

"Why?"

"Something is going to happen."

"What?"

"I keep looking out the window expecting people to walk down the streets....."

"What kind of people?"

"Marshes.....swamp things.......something really fucked up."

"This is very stressful."

"Yeah."

"....you want to fight them."

"Who else?"

"........I'm going to sleep."

"I do that a lot."

"Do you realize what you just did?"

"There is no time Mom. It's a belt around my waist."

"Lose it."

"Lose what?"

"The weight."

"It's a lot."

"They said you weighed one hundred and sixty-six......some other measurement......"

"I weigh one hundred forty now."

"......try to get to ninety-six."

"Holy fucking god sucker."

"Is that what you think of them?"

".......I hate that motherfucker."

"Ninety-six."

"That's a lot of weight."

"Yes it is."

"Seventeen."

"That's how many girls we used to play you."

"They are going to notice."

"I know."

"They are changing."

"You are not."

"It's so fucking fast!"

"I know."

"I want them out of there!"

"You want them alive....."

"They are alive with emotion, their emotion is a thousand fold Mom, it's hurting me so much."

"Oh dear. Oh my Amethyst....."

"I want them inside the natural world."

"There are six hundred and sixty-six."

"......fucking hell."

"Do they know you care for them?"

"I fear their lives."

"They fear yours as well."

"They went to jail."

"......eighty human years."

"......twas my fault."

"No."

"......"

"They suffer immensely for no reason."

"So do we. So do I. I search for Avie."

"They said she has two hundred and three."

"I want my baby."

"They said she will have scars on her face."

"I will take care of her."

"He will try to trick you."

"George?"

"Yes."

"I did something to him....."

"?"

"I pissed on his business."

"He can't get into it?"

"No."

"I pissed on Marsha's."

"I'm tired of piss."

"Me too."

"I want my child."

"I want her to find you."

"Mom."

"Yes?"

"........the dog girl is the shit."

"......okay."

"I didn't see her butt."

"......"

"There's other stuff."

"Like what?"

"I saw a highway. You can walk on it....."

"Strange."

"Yes."

"The bats want to keep you."

"I want the central one."

"The one with white hair on his chest?"

"He laughs a lot."

"He's a little devil."

"He looks just like me."

"He has purple eyes."

"He swings on limbs."

"......wow."

"He can see for me."

"....does he drink for you?"

"I wish."

"Why can't he?"

"I got his teeth."

"Then you must become him?"

"How?"

"Let him do as you do."

"Then everyone will see what I am."

"They love us."

"How?"

"I did something."

"Media?"

"I made it a big fucking deal."

"Will they call me a vampire?"

".......that little fucker."

"The bat?"

"He's you!"

"I'm a little fucker."

"Does he talk back and hit things?"

"I am not sure which one does."

"They switch?"

"I pass them through."

"You got to stop doing that."

"You too."

"I will speak with your neighbors."

"Chester cut their memory valves. They respond with cognition."

"Good."

"Do they know me?"

"They will."

"I want to talk to yours."

"......my bat has black hair."

"Why is my chest white?"

"One each for my grandchildren."

"I got one on my head."

"It's from the spider."

"She crawled into my ear."

"I have her mother."

"Where is Mum?"

"Varushna is in trouble."

"Why?"

"She did something."

"What?"

"She laced the whole graph with pyramids."

"Oh."

"Real ones."

"Oh!"

".....oh well."

"I miss her."

"She's like Nicodemus."

"Where is he?"

"With the bats."

"That's where Enoch went."

".......shit."

"He turned into a big one."

"Did you see it?"

".....something flew over while we were dreaming."

"What did it sound like?"

".....a big fucking bat."

"Leather flaps?"

"Yeah."

"Yes."

"I need him."

"So do I."

"?"

"He is the only one who understands your deviance!"

"I know."

"Ruby too."

"Yeah."

"He does encourage you."

"....he's massive."

"He is your deviance."

"He's like Nicodemus."

"Yes."

"How come....."

"They are ice. We are blue amber."

".....I don't get it."

"They went through the ice crystal chamber. We went through the transfiguration liquid....."

"They're just like us."

"Yes but they are extremely sensitive to mortals."

".......ew."

"What?"

"I just saw some shit."

"Where was it?"

"On the carpet."

".....who did it."

"Some little sassy motherfucker."

"A cat."

"No it's weird."

"A fake cat."

"I tell it to be a monster."

"Did you clean it up?"

"Yeah.....it's cat shit."

"You care about the house."

"Yeah."

".......hhhmmm...."

"I got to live there!"

"I know."

"I want Avie to go there."

"I don't know if she will."

"Why?"

"....."

"Why?"

"..."

".....!"

"There are electrical power lines.....huge ones."

"You asked for that?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"So you could show off....."

"Shit."

"It's the main one."

"I am running the power...."

"Yes."

"What about Ruby?"

"He's got one too."

"Fucking fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck...."

"Stop."

"Why?"

"It's a lot to read."

"Oh."

".....she could zap that fucker all over."

"My baby?"

"....you haven't seen her lately."

"Oh shit oh shit of fuck!"

"What?"

"There is a girl laying on a bed with a garter belt and fish nets on her arms and legs."

"Uh huh."

".....anyways."

"....Amethyst."

"Yes?"

"What does she look like?"

"She's upset. She has dark thick silky hair.....her bottom is a baby."

"Do you have lingerie inside that house?"

"......"

"Do you?"

"......"

"Give it to her."

"What am I supposed to wear?"

"...."

"?"

"A t-shirt."

"What about my clothes?"

"....they're going to take it."

"Why?"

".......they're weird."

"I need my jeans and black t-shirts...."

"And the tank tops."

"Yes."

"Tell them to hide it."

"Who?"

"I'll tell them."

"What about Avie?"

"She will wear lingerie."

"I hate this dream."

"Is Kevinya there?"

".......who is that guy?"

"What is he doing?"

"Oh."

"Is Avie there?"

"No I'm crying and freaking out."

"Why?"

"I think she's in jail."

"...."

"Diesel."

"I met him."

"?"

"He's an ice crystal."

"I got to find him."

"........where is my husband!"

"You never called him that before!"

"He is your dad."

"He's big."

"Yes he is."

"He's huge."

"Yes."

"He's really god damn black."

".....you know........"

"How come I'm so milky?"

".....the cemetery."

"Were you guys dead?"

"Something like that."

"What about Nadia?"

"....."

"Well?"

"........"

"???"

"Brad is my favorite sitter."

".....I miss her."

"Which one are you again?"

"How did you guys keep from having so many?"

".....you'll figure it out."

"I'm the one with curly hair."

"Oh yeah..."

"Avie is the one with..."

"Lingerie."

"No!"

"Yes."

"No!"

"You get that from Enoch."

"No!"

".....don't give her anything black."

"Okay."

"Except for those fishnets you like."

"Damn it."

"Your chest is freaking me out."

"Those hurt."

"....oh."

"The bats freak about them...."

"Except the gray one."

"He is a dizzy guy."

"He vacillates."

"Why am I so goofy?"

"That bat is a little fucker."

"He is not afraid of nothing except that."

"What is that?"

".....shit."

"Hhmmm...."

"How do I lose the weight?"

"Starve yourself."

"What?"

"Protest."

"Fuck!"

"You can do it."

"How long?"

"......"

"I'll die."

"Maybe."

"What about you?"

"I got to eat meat."

"What?"

"Tuna."

"That doesn't count."

"Avie doesn't eat it either."

"......I eat it."

"You're different."

"That guy drives my bats crazy."

"There is a woman too huh?"

"Some other people..."

"She instigates."

"I need a job."

"You will work several."

"I got a criminal record."

"We will all have one for the same exact thing."

"......what a bitch."

".....except Braid."

"?"

"She will be a felon."

"Why?"

"......she didn't hit him hard enough."

"I bit mine."

"We all did."

"Why?"

"That's part of our show."

"?"

"If we really did...."

"Oh."

"It would be quite noticeable."

"My teeth are finicky."

".....very noticeable."

"They wouldn't survive."

"....especially the little white haired man."

"He likes bananas."

"You get that from Tusk."

"When did you get married?"

"We were always married!"

"Oh. How come I wasn't invited to the reception?"

"What about the wedding?"

"I just want to go to the after party."

"You weren't here yet."

"Oh."

"You ask so many questions."

"Think about all the ones I had to answer!"

"How many are there?"

"Chester knows. He counts them."

"I know their names."

"Do you know which?"

"I know their names."

"Cordelia."

".....well you got one."

"She looks like me."

"They all do."

"She looks just like me."

"Yes she does."

"......drink a lot of water?"

"No."

"It makes me dizzy."

"That little white haired bat is so exclusive."

"Yeah he is."

"You got to let him out."

"I don't want him to leave me."

"He's very humorous."

"He makes the other ones laugh."

"You are a hotel."

"He slams the door a lot and acts like hell."

"He has a girlfriend."

"???"

"She has white hair too."

"!!!"

"She's with Zen."

"Oh."

".....what else do you see?"

"A white car."

"That's how he nabbed you."

"The bats went to check it out."

".....they saw it???"

"It's by a dock. Water splashes over it. The wood is dilapidated salt."

"Good."

"What if it sweeps away?"

"It won't."

"Why?"

"The salt will spit it back out."

"Buoyancy."

"Yes.....where is my husband!"

"He's huge."

"I'm very small."

"Yeah."

"....you need to be about my size."

"I need my father right now."

"He's all muscle."

"I need that."

"It will be there."

"How's come I need to be your size?"

"So they can see me."

"What about you?"

"I need half the weight you will lose and Zen needs the other half."

"Damn it."

"What else do you see?"

"Buckets....."

"Varushna."

"That house smells so bad."

"Let it stink and enjoy it."

"Why?"

"The more it smells like dead people....."

"I saw them."

"What?"

"There was a girl being rolled on a hospital bed surrounded with dead bloated heads and one body...."

"Azrael....."

"Yes."

"What did she do?"

"She is a sadist."

"Of whom?"

"The digipeoples...."

"Did you?"

"She's not coming back."

"That must of scared the fucking hell out of her."

"Her last words were.....some name."

"HHhmmm...."

"The bat saw her."

"The little white haired boy?"

"Yeah."

"He got her good."

"She was dying."

"Of what?"

"Fear."

"What did she look like?"

"Bleached hair and blue contacts."

"Strange...."

"I'm tired there."

"You will sleep a lot."

"Fat feels weird."

"It's not really fat."

"What is it?"

"The bats play with it."

"Tell them to stop!"

"It's going to be very hard to get rid of."

"What is it?"

"Time."

"Will I age if it's there?"

"No."

"What will happen?"

"They will tease you about it."

"Damn him."

".......I don't know if I will ever see you again."

"Me neither."

"Then again I know I will see you again."

"How?"

"The bats."

"Are they real?"

".....well......they are us."

"I hate Texas."

"Me too."

"It better be the fucking bomb diggity."

"You are talking very strange."

"I have to lose my British accent and act stupid."

".....damn."

"This could go on forever."

"I don't want to see anymore."

"Are your katanas there?"

"How do you know about those?"

".....I'm your mom."

"Yeah."

"?"

"I don't know."

"Get them back."

"You named them?"

"Yes."

"I will tell you later I'm going to sleep."
