Heather was your average girl next door. She was actually very pretty. Long brown hair, bright green eyes, beautiful face, though covered in these very unflattering eyeglasses. And she had a pretty figure. Her problem was that she was average. Average about almost everything. And when she fell in love with a man named Pete who wouldn't give her a second look, she became desperate. As she maintained her daily routines over the weeks and months, her eye began to subconsciously catch ways, experimental ways, to attract her man. To make him love her the way she loved him. The thing of it was, she never even knew him. It was just one of those things. He was the new guy at work. Tall, dark, polite, and there was just something about him that made her crazy, even wet. It took her weeks to find out his first name. She found it out from a colleague, who then laughed indifferently at her curiosity. She fantasized about him, touching herself, a grown woman, and falling asleep in his imaginary arms.
Yup. It's really tough to be average. People all over the world practically all their lives try to blend in, and then when they finally do they find out that no one notices them. They're invisible status quo. They may as well be a piece of furniture or a part of the scenery. But Heather met this woman. A very strange woman. She wore strange cloths. Jamaican clothes. You know? Like men wear these really ugly Hawaiian shirts, color bursting from the seams. They don't match anything, but they're fun to wear. She wore this really colorful skirt and bandana. She looked like that lady who used to have a television show because she was psychic. Read about her in a magazine, so she paid her a worried visit at the price of two hundred dollars, right there in the city.
"So ... this man ... you want him to love you?" "Yes." "Are you sure about this sister? It is a very serious thing you ask of me." "I'm sure." "Why do you love him?" Heather folded her legs in a squat in front of the Jamaican woman. Incense casually floated by her eyes and nose, seemingly studying her. The room was dark. Lots of candles. "I don't know. He makes me excited. I want to excite him too." The lady reached across to her and lightly pulled at her shirt. "With these cloths? What you want you can do just by getting better cloths." Then she reached for her pouched purse. "Here. Take your money back. Try buying nicer cloths first." "No. I want your help."
"It is the Alligator." "The what?" "The Alligator, sister. Ma-Shoo-Goo-Eee." She handed something to her. It was long and thin, with a round head on top. "You put it in your vagina." "What?" Heather was shocked. "Take it." But reluctantly Heather took it. "You put it in your vagina. It is your lover ... this man named Pete." "You want me to put this in my vagina?" And Heather laughed.
"It is no laughing matter, sister. That is the Ma-Shoo-Goo-Eee. The beast. You wear it. You carry it. But hear me loud and clear. Open your ears. The Ma-Shoo-Goo-Eee is very dangerous." "Why?" "Because it is spirit. Your desires for this man of yours. He will be consumed with you. He will never want you to let him go."
Heather studied the tiny object the mystic handed her. It looked like it was made out of some animal skin. It kind of did look like a man. The round head on top was of a face, though of no apparent artistic value. "Is it clean?" And the lady laughed. A hearty, jolly laugh that shook her belly. "Yes it's clean, sister. Wear it to work."
Lots of things are strange in the civilized world. Even nature itself appears strange. In the city there is concrete and steel. Ugly concrete and steel. Packed with traffic and indifferent, lonely people. They go about their daily lives, and there's nothing wrong with that. But still ... there's something about it. Something foreign. The smell. The smog. The ignorance. The crime. A million islands. A million far away and deserted islands of people, so far away.
In the spirit world things are very different. Disparaged, these spirits are. Offended. The ancestors of the very old, though they probably don't even know it anymore. The onlookers who see everything and don't understand the city’s point of view. So they play games with the ignorant. Like slaps in the face. As if to say "Wake up!" ... but no one ever listens. They term it unexplained, and then go back. Back to the unexplained.
Monday morning Heather sat at her computer, like every other day. She'd decided to wear a long dress that day. Usually she wore jeans, but "the thing" was uncomfortable. Dry. And she wanted the quick access. It spooked her, what the lady had told her. It wasn't big, but it was odd. Seemed to tingle. She wasn't even going to do it. Her pragmatic side all weekend had told her to just forget the whole thing. But she woke up late Sunday morning, lonely. And had decided that Monday would be the only day this "Ma-Shoo-Goo-Eee" would have its chance to work, and change her life. She spent until five that morning washing the thing with soap and water.
"Heather?" "Yes!" "You're a bit nervous, aren't you?" Then she laughed. "Oh. Didn't get much sleep last night." "Well, here. Here's the new report from human resources." "Ok, thanks." "Have you seen Pete today?" Heather was shocked at the question. "The thing" tingled. "No. Why?" "He's a mess. Must have had a bad weekend too. You should see him. He looks like he's been chewed up and spit out." "Really?" "Yup."
Heather’s company had a spartan break room. A few vending machines and a cheap table and chairs. It was there that she saw Pete. He was sitting there, arms on the table, clutching a cup of vender coffee. She walked in and put in two quarters with her back to him. Pete immediately noticed her come in. His face was pale. All his color was gone. Usually he took on a glow of health, but not that day.
"You're very pretty today." "What?" She turned around to face him. Her eyes studied him, curiously, and down below, for the first time that day, she got wet. "You look very pretty today." "Thank you." "What's your name again?" "Heather." "Heather. What a beautiful name. Heather ..." And she smiled. "You're Pete." Then he smiled too. "Yah ... wow." Then he shook his head as if snapping out of a trance. "I can not concentrate today." "Have a bad weekend?" "No. I mean ... Yah. I guess I did." "Everybody has bad days." Her coffee was done, but she decided to take it to her desk. She was very nervous. The thing seemed to be working. Weird. But Pete didn't let her leave. He stood, his tall six foot three stance towered over her. "Heather?" Then he laughed, nervously too. "Can we go out tonight?" "I beg your pardon?" "Sorry. I just ... can I take you out for dinner tonight?" Heather began to breathe heavy. What was the right thing to do? What was the right thing to say. Down below was a boil. The Alligator. The thing. It was talking to her. Interacting with her. Making her reach climax with the uncertainty of the atmosphere. "Ok!" Then she ran, spilling some of her coffee on the cheap blue rug, out the door, and to her desk.
She had an orgasm….
