Shortage of Women – A Recipe For
Violence
Son
of a bitch but I am drunk.
I must be
drunk, because I am confused as to how and when I got here.
Being this inebriated is not confusing in of itself. I have a
sense that these days I am drinking more than usual. I have been
stressed I’m sure, though at the moment, I can’t seem to recall
what has been stressing me.
Nonetheless,
I am here and I am drunk and I have another pitcher of beer in
front of me and it is half empty.
My thoughts
are clouded as I try hard to think.
“Yes, I am
one drunk motherfucker.”
Shit, I
don’t recall ordering this pitcher or drinking any of it.
I lick my
lips and there is the familiar taste and feel of wet beer all
around my mouth.
I notice a
few other beer glasses on the little round bar table I am
sitting at. They are mostly empty.
“Where am
I?”
I look around
to get my bearings. The room is a jumble of faded red and blue
neon and twilight.
There are
mostly men and a few women rambling about the room. Some of them
are dancing on or near the dance floor. The jukebox is playing a
Lynyrd Skynyrd song. I think it is ‘Free Bird’, although
I am not certain.
My head
hurts. I have trouble breathing. It is smoky as hell throughout
the bar.
A waitress
comes over with another pitcher of beer and places it on the
table.
She is
beautiful. She looks like a stripper dressed to serve beer on
the open floor. She has long dark hair, long sleek legs and
glasses perched over a strong slim nose. Her luminous brown eyes
appraise me over her librarian glasses. Her smile is white and
bright. It is a look that slays me.
My head
hurts.
My chest
hurts.
I am stinking
drunk and now, thanks to her, I have one hell of an erection.
She seems to
notice this. She smiles, but doesn’t say anything. Something
about her is familiar, though I am sure I have never seen her
here before.
“Don’t I
know her?”
I notice that
she has a green and red tattoo on her upper arm. It looks like a
poppy flower, but I am not certain.
Normally
tattoos on women turn me off, but on her I find it sexy.
“Strange.”
“Hey cutie,
here is some more Coors for you and your friends.”
I am
surprised to know that I have been drinking with friends.
“Friends?
What friends? Where are they?”
I am
obviously confused as my head and eyes dart around searching for
people I cannot recall being with. The effort causes my head to
hurt more. I am starting to feel cold.
She looks at
me with concern.
“I imagine
they wandered off looking to find a girl to dance with, although
it’s pretty tough on you poor marines to find a woman in these
parts. Cherry Point is not known for it’s large population of
woman. Bad for you, but then I make good tips.”
“Cherry
Point? Yes, that’s right, I’m in the marines.”
I look around
frantically to find the friends that I had come here with.
Friends whose faces and names I cannot recall. My head hurts
worse. I have trouble breathing. For the first time I notice the
military uniforms sprinkled about people wearing civilian
clothes. I am surprised.
How did I
miss them the first time I looked around?
Most of the
men have military haircuts, and there is a smattering of
longhaired civilians. I see that there are five women for every
twenty-five marines. Many men would say that most of the women
are very fat and very ugly.
“Camp
followers… Military Hogs, yes, yes, I remember.”
Yet none of
these women had a shortage of marines competing for their
attentions.
I notice that
only one in five of the women would be considered attractive and
the goddess serving me beer was one of the best looking women in
the bar; her and two other dancers that is.
“This is
not good. This is a formula for violence.”
I am feeling
anxious and I am confused as to why I think as I do.
She is
looking at me with concern once again.
“Are you
alright? You don’t look well.”
“What? Oh,
yes, I’m fine. Really.”
I don’t feel
fine, but my erection is more insistent and I want to make love
to her. I want to show her that I am interested and capable. I
don’t want to put myself out too much though, in case she
rejects me.
“You are
beautiful! I feel like I know you from somewhere?”
She laughs.
“My, my, I
have never heard that one before. I think that is the beer
talking.”
“You’re still
beautiful.”
“And you are
a cutie. Look Vinny, I got to go do a few sets up on stage.
My muddled
mind barely acknowledges that she has called me Vinny. I am
struggling to think how she knows my name.
“Did I
introduce myself? I don’t recall doing that. Maybe she does know
me from somewhere else and she is just fucking with me.”
My grasp of
reality and the beer makes me feel as if I am swooning and about
to pass out.
She speaks
up, interrupting my thoughts, bringing me back to point.
Why don’t you
come up and watch me? Maybe you and I can share a beer after I
get off work.”
My heart and
my erection are hammering from excitement and anticipation.
“Oh my
fucking God, I must be dreaming.”
She turns to
walk away.
I have a
variety of sexual visions, many of which have a sense of déjà
vu’.
As she is
walking away, I see something on her back that makes me pause.
She has a
large tattoo of a moon centered on her upper back. It is about
the size of a small melon and drawn realistically, with hundreds
of craters a few of the dead seas.
“Where the
fuck have I seen that before? Where do I know her from? How does
she know my name?”
As if reading
my mind, she looks over her shoulder and smiles her sexy
librarian smile and her hips are swaying with invitation.
I want her
even more.
“What a
minute, what is your name.”
She laughs as
she keeps walking, “My name is Matilija.”
“What the
hell kind of name is that?”
I go up to
the stage to sit so I could get a closer look at her as she
dances.
Once on
stage, Matilija moves about like an exotic cat. Her dancing tugs
at the corners of my memory of other times and places that elude
my grasp of when and where. Flitting images of people, of women
I have been with, of her and the times and sex we have shared?
“How is that
possible? I have never known anyone named Matilija.”
My grasp on
time and reality is slipping again.
As she is
dancing, she keeps eye contact with me. During the dance her
clothes are artistically and mysteriously stripped away. I
notice that now she is not wearing anything.
“Shit!
She’s not allowed to be bottomless. Or is she?”
The marines
all about me are hooting their ‘hoo rahs’, and I sense
potential violence thick in the air.
Suddenly, She
is right in front of me and her clean-shaven pussy is inches
from my face.
I am startled
to see a shaven pussy. I have never seen one shaven before.
Have I?
I am
disturbed by this and excited.
She is
staring at me with feral eyes, inviting eyes as she is rubbing
her pussy with her free hand and I can see that her pussy is
very wet.
My God,
she’s certainly not allowed to do that!
I am
wondering why management hasn’t pulled her off stage.
I am feeling
growing anxiety. I am feeling fear. I am feeling excited and
horny as hell.
For some
reason I am again having trouble breathing.
Matilija
grabs my hand with her warm hand. It is wet and warm. She places
my hand on her pussy and rubs my hand all over it. She somehow
manages to take my index and forefinger and slides it up her
pussy. Her pussy is hot and wet and it feels like heaven. What
we are doing feels wrong. Somehow I know it is where my hand
belongs.
She is
moaning. She looks over at a man to my left. I sense she is
making inviting eye contact with him as she is sliding my
fingers in and out of her pussy.
I look over
to see who she is staring at. It’s Tom my friend and for some
reason he is wearing a Postal uniform.
“Did I
come here with him?”
Tom has
cancer and he is smiling at me.
The marines
around us are angry because Matilija is paying us this special
attention.
They grab us
and throw us to the floor. They are threatening to kick our ass.
I hear
Matilija laughing.
I am very
afraid and I am crawling on my hands and knees trying to find a
way out of the bar. I feel pain all over. I feel cold. I feel my
erection. I feel the need to stay and fuck Matilija competing
with my desire to get the fuck out of the bar.
I look up
towards the stage hoping that will help me with my dilemma as to
what I should do.
Matilija is
smiling and still rubbing her pussy and it is still wet and her
wetness makes me think of the nectar on a Venus flytrap.
She laughs.
“I love you
Vinny.”
I forgot
about Tom.
All I want at
the moment is to be in the comfort of her arms. In the cozy
cosset of comfort of her pussy and I want her love and to love
her back.
Suddenly I
hear Tom crying out to me.
I look over
in the direction of his voice.
A group of
marines and civilians have Tom helpless on his back.
Tom has
cancer and they are kicking him mercilessly.
He is
screaming, “Vinny, please help me! Don’t leave! Help me,
please!”
My world is
whirling. I am very afraid and I hurt all over.
I want to run
away and forget about Tom. I want to save myself.
Tom has
cancer and as much as I want to leave him, I can’t; so I scuttle
over to him as fast as I can.
I fucking
hurt and I have to get Tom and me out of this place.
“Where the
fuck are the other friends I came here with? Why aren’t they
helping us?”
With these
questions I feel betrayed and deserted and angry and vengeful.
Then I feel
intense pain in my chest and my legs and my head as the crowd is
kicking the fuck out of me.
Some of them
have sticks and bats with which they are hitting me over and
over. Now I can only hear Tom. I can only see the faces of the
people over me as I am helpless to protect myself.
I piss my
pants.
The faces
above me do not look human.
“Why are
they killing us? Just because a dancer lets me rub her pussy?”
I look again
at the faces. I think I recognize two people in the mob. Two
names of recognition rush into my mind. Janus Jarvis and James
Sutherland. Janus and Sutherland are wearing Postal uniforms
like the one Tom is wearing.
“Shit,
this is wrong. What are they doing here? Doesn’t Sutherland work
for the Justice Department? Why is he wearing a Postal uniform?”
Both of them
are smiling as they continue to beat on my helpless body.
“For
Christ sake! Why won’t the fucking pain stop?
I hear
Matilija laughing even louder.
I can barely
move. My world is spinning and I am losing consciousness.
I look over
and she is still playing with her pussy and now she is
convulsing with multiple orgasms and her entire arm and the
floor around her is sopping wet with her cum.
She laughs
and she moans and she never takes her eyes off me.
She is
getting off watching us being beaten into a bloody mess,
watching us die.
I feel
unspeakable betrayal and I hate her.
“You
fucking deceitful cunt!”
I hurt. I
can’t breathe and I am dying.
I can’t see
anything, just swirling darkness.
I hear her
voice echoing thru the darkness, through eternity.
“I love you
Vinny. You’re the man for me.”
She laughs
her musical laugh and I hate her even more.
“Fucking
Christ I am dying….
