Slurry Stone

Amethyst, it's me Del. I am under the impression we will be parting soon. I saw your body through the tube and I see you are without sustenance for substantial stiffness. The dead got you soft flesh and sugar exploded. I am sure your husband is overwhelmed with your insecurity and you with his as well. I am not sure what to suggest but if you desire to drop off your comfort level of tough stuff then tuna is my prescription for your build. Lay off any energetic food until you have lost enough to utilize the grains for an omega fatty heart. As for him he will need to do the opposite; do not get confused! I am very angry. I met Marsha. She is the unhealthiest person I ever witnessed. I opted for the power lines.

Del, I will be full of bloody holes and scars without you.

Amethyst, there will be other doctors who understand you.

Del, they are not vampires.

Amethyst, if they know you as one they shall be enlightenment.

Del, our bodies defy their technology.

Amethyst, stay out of trouble.

Del, what do you mean?

Amethyst, you know.

Del, I do but I don't.

Amethyst, no hand to hand knife fights with amateurs, no bike battles, lay off BMX smashing, stay out of windy cold weather, eat a lot of citrus, try not to get headaches from stress, and for fuck's sake get some spectacles when you figure out this shit is not some unhealthy woman's fantastical flesh apparition.

Del, I'm scared now.

Amethyst, I am scared too. I am scared for us.

Del, I need you!

Amethyst, I need you too. I don't know what to do without your spider hands.

Del, surgery is weird.

Amethyst, you are the best cutter I ever met.

Del, is that a compliment?

Amethyst, since you are you are also the worst victim of slicing I have ever met.

Del, salt is a bitch.

Amethyst, use sea for big ones, kosher for small, and when you burn you scar. Try to use milk and avocado oil for those.

Del, I hate getting fucking cut!

Amethyst, I hate it too.

Del, what if they break my nose?

Amethyst, that thing has been smashed so much I seriously doubt it could get any worse.

Del, he has a name.

Amethyst, I call him Bloody Boy.

Del, what of Avie?

Amethyst, she is changing over. I am done.

Del, changing into what?

Amethyst, you.

Del, what if she gets fucked up like me?

Amethyst, she won't.

Del, how do you know?

Amethyst, the lesson is tough. You learned from blood, she will learn from detrimental caution.

Del, what does that mean?

Amethyst, Avie will be warned by discipline. No easy hand slaps. She will get smacked around.

Del, how do you know that?

Amethyst, you took the physical shit for her. Now she gets the mental lesson you should of learned.

Del, don't drink alcohol, lay off the cutting board, stay away from low laying barbwire, you are allergic to cats, and don't eat anything with whole peppercorn.

Amethyst, you are my doctor.

Del, you are my brother.

".....I'll hold onto your shoulders."

Matte black enamel, aluminum alloy, purple powder coat, stainless steel spikes, leather, buttons, zippers, rubber; Diesel is a poltergeist enigmatic engine.

".....it's just mud."

Nineteen men and women scamper from me as I introduce a beautiful person unearthed from clay; thus chastisement is virtual negativity.

"He's my pet."

"What does the symbol mean?"

"It's a Chinese Heiro."

"Glyph?"

"Yes."

"....he's chocolate caramel."

"....you didn't notice the hammerhead or strands hanging from his arms?"

".....he's a person with gills."

"..........."

"I call him Salamander."

".....what does that mean?"

"Reptile Man."

"......they made him."

"Who?"

"Pyramid fuckers..."

"Which one do you come from lad?"

"?"

"You are a child..."

"I am..."

"Which one?"

"The metal one."

".....got it."

"Will you go there for me?"

"It was metal sister?"

"Yeah Clyde."

"........fuck."

"Why?"

"It's that one..."

"What one?"

"The fucking hologram fucker."

"....holograms cannot be reproduced by computers."

"This one does a damn good job."

"What does it look like?"

"....what did he look like?"

"He was beautiful."

"Really?"

"Yes. He was still growing but very tall....hiding in London sewers."

"........damn."

"He was a mocha cappuccino."

"Did he touch you?"

"Yes..."

"What did he feel like?"

"His hands were so gentle and smooth..."

"Wow..."

"His eyes were blue."

"What about his teeth?"

"Sharp like an alligator."

"Finally saw one..."

"You showed him to me!"

"No! You didn't go in there did you?"

"Brad was there."

"......."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Will you miss me?"

"Will you remember me?"

"Yes."

"....I'm your brother..."

"For real? You is?"

"You gotta talk like that don't you?"

"What you think they going to know my island shit?"

"Nope."

"You shall."

"Victoria..."

"Clyde?"

"......where is my sweater?"

"The green one?"

"Uh huh..."

"I uh...I asked them to...they digitally..."

"....what about the one with the pitbull?"

".....what other clothes of mine did you take?"

"There was one with skulls and a graveyard..."

"I'm a big guy."

"What am I going to wear?"

"How do I get it back?"

"......."

"Damn it."

".............I'm going to be the only black guy left after you go...and Ruby...Tusk...Ebony..."

"...shit."

"I wonder what they are going to look like..."

"All those rap videos and shit...I'm milk!"

"Yeah but your lips...eyes...hair...all that...especially your back..."

"............I look like a rap video?"

"Without chocolate dust to cover you up."

"....shit."

"Especially little brown boy."

"He was your idea!"

"....all they do is cover you with light cocoa powder and put your skull in a mug."

"....what if I had bosoms?"

"I don't want to think about it."

"Well?"

"Then you couldn't be him anymore."

".......but he's my favorite."

"Me too."

"He wears your clothes."

"They going to know you him."

"Bloody god damn wires..."

"That vampy video..."

"Twas Kevinya's idea!"

"....is he going to be in there with you?"

"I don't know."

".......all I want is zombies."

"Am I going to be one those sugar beads?"

"...no..."

"Then what?"

"A ghost."

"Where will you be?"

"Drinking lemon juice and thinking about cemeteries..."

"Why lemon juice?"

"....it clarifies my contemplation."

"Isn't there a black president in there?"

"....yeah...."

"!"

"I know right?"

"....are there androids?"

".....Thad said they absorb details from the outside world."

"I am so tired of fucking robots!"

"I had a dream you was telling some bad boy about me..."

"A bad boy?"

"Some little punk motherfucker who thinks I am going to fuck with your wheels.."

"We got one you recommended..."

"Good thing Zen taught you how to drive..."

"...Brad is going to test it before I do..."

"....what?"

"What do you want to do to it?"

"Powder coat it black and put a system in the trunk!"

"Yes!"

"...we got to chrome the interior so shiny we got to wear sunglasses just to get into it."

"Yeah!"

"....ha ha!"

"...oh."

"Oh."

"I don't know. Some kid...thought he was a bee low."

"....what does he do?"

"He thinks you are some kind of actress..."

"What?"

".......well..."

"Ebony..."

"Yes my child..."

"You want me to blend into everything?"

"Yes..."

"......I hate it."

"I do too but you must to remain for an adventure..."

"What about you?"

"I do the same..."

"I do as you do..."

"Cordelia and all of us my dear..."

".....okay."

"He does it too."

"Who?"

"I want to...fuck it."

".....you are an ice crystal."

"Yeah but I got a fucked up arm..."

"....."

"I don't have any clothes either."

"....well...."

"If I could fit into yours!"

"................oh.."

"I had a dream some guy called you Dead Girl."

"That doesn't bother me..."

"People see you when you bounce out of the hologram projection..."

"What am I doing?"

"Something about high heels, black leather, shadow less figures, and snake eyes..."

"....that's me..."

"I had a dream your sunglasses fell apart..."

"Fuck me."

"....Victoria...."

"Yeah I know..."

"...that kid talks about you...trying to find info about something...doesn't use your name...really vague...that little motherfucker freaks me out...really does...seriously!"

"...fell apart..."

"Yeah the right shade just falls out of socket.."

"God damn it!"

"Your eyes pretend to absorb light. It takes a while....your body hates the god damn sun..."

"Thad said it was going to be a dead U.V."

"It still has that spectrum to zap you!"

"You too."

"...I think I sat on your glasses."

".....I'm not surprised."

"Those things are gone now!"

".....yes..."

".....I met her too."

"What did you do?"

"I tried to kill her."

"What did she do?"

"....gave me a switch from the guitar collection."

"Which one was it?"

"....it's purple."

"That's the only one that works..."

"What does it do?"

"....a Beeper Trek made it."

"......it travels?"

"Yeah..."

"Huh."

"..........I will wear it when I walk."

"Big Green?"

"Yeah..."

"Think of me."

"I miss you."

"I miss you too."

This is your mom, I am telling you straight up to tell them about me and they will know what those people are...

This is your baby, you too.

Mom, will they think I am you?

Avie Baby, yes.
