Cindy Prine's bee buzz ringtone ripped her from
her deathlike slumber,
"Hello. Oh, hey Mom. What? Yeah, I'll be in tonight.
I agree...no, no I won't be brining Mattie. The Wilks
have her. They are wonderful with her. I love you too.
No, it'll probably sevenish. Not seven. Sevenish."
The Candy Corn Suite reeked of ****** fallout.
Sheets still wet and sticky with sweat.
The checkered floor covered in beer and discarded condoms.
Her ******* ached.
Most of the men had been awkward,
frightened, and easy to finish.
Hank, the porky 'friend of a friend', however,
had been brutal.
By the time he had finished,
her *** turned a light purple,
her back covered in spittle;
her scalp felt barely intact.
Cindy smelled pancakes and went downstairs.
"Good morning, darling. You want some hotcakes
and coffee?"
"Sure, Mama."
In the lobby, the Children's Funhouse looked like a ****** continental breakfast. Patrons from the night before and the workers
often sat side-by-side for what surely can lay claim to the
worst breakfast environment in the history of mankind.
"Will I have the pleasure of your company for a while, this time?"
"I'm afraid not. I need some time away from everything."
"Everything?"
"Todd, the baby, it's just depressing.
I'm twenty-*******-years-old, ya' know?
I did not sign up for domestication."
"Right on. Hell, neither did I," Chung-Ae Phun laughed
and curtsied, "So, where you going Cindy Lilly?"
"Back to my mom's for a bit."
"Are you two close?"
"Um, she is a brilliant woman.
We've never been able to talk,
but I guess you could say
I respect her."
"Fair enough. Cream or sugar?"
"No, thanks."
"How was Hank last night?"
"Oh, God, that ****! He--"
"What about my ****?" Hank blurted with a sinister, crinkled edge of lip.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! I had no idea you were still here!"
"Why the **** should that matter," he snarled grabbing her tiny left arm.
"Hank, leave her alone," Madame Phun said sternly.
"She's just a little *****, Chung-baby."
"Hank, you need to leave."
"**** that. Not after the money I wasted on last night.
You promised me she was top rate.
I want my money back."
"Hank. This is not some fast-food joint,
where you come back to the counter
and ***** after you've eaten your burger!
Judging by the panting, sweaty mess you were
last night, she did just fine."
Cindy Prine reached for the intersection of her *** crack and belt line,
wrapped her trembling fingers around the hammer.
"Well, then I think I deserve another one on the house.
Can we make that compromise?"
"This isn't ******* Craig's List either, Hank. Get out!"
"I want another lay with this Lilly broad."
"Absolutely NOT--"
Cindy interrupted, "No, no it's okay, Mama."
Hank grinned, his gut seemed grow, the
hair around his arms spread like vines.
"Is it okay if we do it in your truck?
My room is an absolute mess."
"Fine by me. How I usually do it, anyway."
Hank opened the door for Cindy, in faux chivalry,
then proceeded to his side.
The cab felt like hell, and the metallic seatbelt burnt Cindy's skin.
"Where should we start?" Hank asked staring at Cindy's chest.
"How about you just relax for a second."
Cindy rubbed his crotch firmly, Hank closed his lids
and sunk into his chair, as he let out the first sigh,
Cindy snatched the hammer with her right hand and
quickly struck him
one-
two-
three
times.
Hank's skull sprung a leak. Blood spewed onto the dashboard.
Cindy shoved him to his side, snagged his wallet,
and proceeded
to crack three or four of his ribs.
