- I had spent the afternoon harvesting libido from Agatha Christie
- novels, and when Roger burst into the kitchen, spattering blood, the
- contents of his intestines, and so forth over everything, I was sauteeing
- it in 5W-30 synthetic motor oil. He hadn't had time to ask who I was,
- why a six-foot beer-bellied unshaven man in a "Sautee' Your Family" T-shirt,
- green jeans, and Birkenstock (tm) steel-toed sandals with white socks should
- be cooking things in his kitchen. I took a chunk of liver from the floor,
- chopped it with a cleaver named Beaver, and tossed liver and cleaver into
- the pan, saying aloud, "What am I? Chopped liver?"
- I looked at the mess in the kitchen and decided to have Jeannie,
- Roger's wife, clean it up. I went upstairs to their root cellar, where
- I had rubbed human softener into her and put her clay-like and unconscious
- body into the mold. I opened the mold, ignoring the moldy odor, and
- Jeannie, now a fiberglas (tm) department-store mannequin brought to life,
- got up stiffly, for it could move only where its new form had joints.
- Its plastic face could show no emotion; only a slight reluctance and
- capacitance in its movements gave any hint that the self within might be
- terrified or furious.
- I looked at it with pity, and wondered what my girlfriend would
- think of my absurd and needless cruelty towards a harmless and pleasant
- woman. Fortunately I remembered that I had no girlfriend, and I ordered
- the living dummy to go downstairs and clean up the mess in the kitchen.
- I followed it upstairs and watched it try to use a mop with fingers that
- were not prehensile. Constrained to obey my order, it tried again and
- again, growing more and more uncoordinated with frustration. I began to
- feel guilty about my sadistic behavior, but recalled that Jeannie was
- ficticious anyway.
- I gestured with my left hand towards the mannequin, and it became
- enveloped in a giant glowing envelope with huge postage stamps on it. This
- gradually dissolved away, the mannequin meanwhile changing into a short
- woman with heavy, wavy dark hair and a naughty and beautiful face. I made
- the corpse and offal vanish, and the woman and I walked hand in hand through
- walls and floors and ceilings to Roger and Jeannie's waterbed, where we
- made passionate and passionfruit love. Then she waved her hand and changed
- me into a department-store mannequin of male shape, changed herself into
- a fortyish bleached-blonde spinster dressed as a department store manager
- complete with nametag, and with a circular saw cut me into small pieces.
