Girlery -001- Arthur, Certain

Arthur spent a lot of his free time posing on sea rocks, certain that his destiny was to be turned into a mermaid by a supervillain. His legs were still cold so it hadn't happened yet.

Pete's Vagina -50.2- Statue of Liberty

I ended up driving south on the highway toward Phoenix. Not a lot to see that direction—less forest and more scrubby desert hills, which kind of fit my mood.  Contemplative but indecisive, like miles of sagebrush and manzanita, punctuated with beavertail cactus.

I turned around at the junction with the road to Roosevelt Lake, having used up about half the time before my rendezvous with Lee. True to the essence of the landscape, I had made no decision other than not to deci...

“Anaïs and I are not happy about having to do this, Mrs. Tolliver, but Genevieve’s behavior is a sign of either a serious medical condition or, sadly, nefarious designs by you and your husband on the poor child’s inheritance.” Charles Artaud waved off Mom’s attempts to interrupt him. “We’ve filed a formal complaint with The Depart...

Girlery -013- Butterfly Dancer

Mario loved the climax of his act, when he came back on stage dancing in a beautiful butterfly gown. It was worth all the effort in the first part, convincing everyone that he was a caterpillar.

“Whoa! Whoa there, Randi!” Mom caught my shoulders and brought me to a halt. “My goodness! Slow down.”

I came to a stop in the middle of the living room with Mom holding my shoulders. Mom grinned at me. “I guess your date went okay?”

Giving Mom a goofy grin in return, I exclaimed, “Oh yes, Mom! I had a wonderful time.”

Mom chuckled as she let go of my shoulders. “I guess Colin behaved himself?”

“That was a really selfless thing you did there for Regina, “ Tom said softly as he placed his jacket over my shoulders. We were sitting on a park bench across the street from The Orange Lantern, where George and Regina were being toasted non-alcoholically post-Homecoming Dance as King and Queen. I was starting to shiver in the early November chill.

“Thanks, Tom. But aren’t you cold, too?”

Was everybody acting a little crazy? Including me…

I sat there for another few minutes, then suddenly stood when I remembered that Jordan had left to go find some lipstick for me. Luckily, I didn’t have to go through the rest of the house to make my escape. I ducked out the laundry room door into the backyard, where Wug greeted me with a cheerful, “Guh-roof!” before going back to exploring what migh...

Noah Artaud stood in front of us, dressed in an Italian-cut black suit, white shirt, and burgundy tie. His lightweight cloth coat was draped across his arm, and he held a jewel box in his right hand.

“Noah! What…how…” I composed myself and asked, in an angry tone, “What are you doing here?”

“I’m glad I caught you before you left for the dance. Dad put in a rush job on these promise r...

“Another question, Pete,” Jordan began. “How on earth did you convince Mom and Dad to let you play?”

I blinked. “Well, I didn’t really. It was the summer before last….”

She interrupted. “Yeah, I remember. You spent two months lifting weights.” She laughed. “You had your hair in that short ponytail, and you grunted and sweated twice a day for an hour, and Molly and I laughed at you.”

Small Problem

I looked around the conference room with former colleagues seated around the table. I picked up some of the papers in front of me and casually looked through them. “Has this reversing process been verified? Honestly, I could just as easily wind up as dog food.”

Dr. Wilson pointed at a couple of individuals that I’d never seen before. “This process has been through multiple simulations, am I not correct? The...

As we climbed into Jeremy’s truck, Becky turned to face us, “Is that new Nathan Adam’s movie okay?”

I nodded. “I want to see that one.”

Colin rolled his eyes. “Every girl loves Nathan Adams! It’s creepy that he dates that ten-year-old.”

Tuesday morning. The veritable crack of dawn. I got up early before everyone else to make breakfast for the whole sick crew. Not because I’m such a dutiful daughter but because I wanted to have a heart-to-heart with Mom about what took place the evening before.

As I la...

Pete's Vagina -48.2- Lateral

“What if...” I began but did not finish. My brain went sideways as I realized that, sometime or other, I would have to tell my family what had happened to me. I must have looked stricken because Jordan’s face lost her grin.

“I’m sorry, Petey,” she said. “I shouldn’t tease you about it right after you broke up with her.”

I cleared my throat for lack of something to say.

She examined the bra again. “34C. Megan is a big girl, huh?” Her grin was back...

“Will you two pay attention?” shouted Coach Renwick. “The pep rally is about to start. Flirt later.” Several other girls on the squad giggled.

As Cathy and I hurried to rejoin the group, I sighed, “I wasn’t flirting.”

Sarah folded her arms. “Yeah, Amanda. Leave some boys for the rest of us.”

I shook my head. “You guys are crazy.”

The principal walked out on the floor of the fieldhouse. He stepped up to the microphone and tapped it a few times. “...

Monday morning. Halloween. Sitting in Home Room. I was spooked. And not because of all the kids careening through the halls in their Halloween costumes. After all, I myself was wearing a Travis Kelce Kansas City Chiefs football jersey, my face made up and hair all done up to look exactly like Taylor Swift, just like my twin sister Regina, sitting next to me. One school day a year, Rossington High relaxes their dr...

“What’s this about you not having dinner with us?”

“I told you over the phone, Mom,” I said as I started to remove my leathers.  I decided to follow Nick’s suggestion and keep the leathers at my house. It was no longer a secret from Mom and Dad. “I have a date tonight. I need to change.”

Mom looked at me with conc...

Sixteen the Hard Way -22.3- by Joyce Melton

That ride was the longest carnival-type ride I’d ever been on.

We must have gone around in the tiny circle a dozen times. Linda led the way on a painted palomino pony, and I followed on a spotted horse that might have been supposed to be an Appaloosa. Kevin’s charge behind me rode a shiny black horse, with Kevin standing on the platform beside him, sometimes leaning this way or that to keep me in sight around the central pillar.

And during all of it, Kevin and the ride operato...

The moment I walked into the house, the lights came on. Sure, it was almost 1 o’clock in the morning. Way past my curfew of 11 PM. But I was shocked to find my parents waiting on the couch for me, stern, angry looks on their faces. Tom had just dropped me off, driving away in his mom’s ancient SUV. I’m sure he was sporting a mile-wide grin as he leisurely...

Jason glanced over at his dad and Mom chatting. His dad didn’t look like he was ready to quit talking anytime soon.

He looked over at me. “You guys have anything fun to do over here? Movies? Games?”

I shrugged. We really don’t have much have much in the way of games or such. I said, “Do you like anime? I have a big collection. And a lot of J-Pop.”

Jason’s eyes brightened. “I love anime! What J-Pop do you listen to?”

I squinted my eyes against the brilliant burst of light as the studio lamp turned on, then quickly turned away. It was an old lamp, one I’d gotten for a good price at a swap meet, and still used old incandescent bulbs, so the heat was enough to almost immediately start making me uncomfortable and, I knew, would have my makeup streaming down my face in moments if I stayed close.

With that done, I clacked my way across the floor to the switch for the overhead lig...

I don’t really remember driving over to Coach Wilson’s house, but I sat parked in front of his place for several minutes before realizing how many cars and pickups were parked around it. Of course, Coach and his buddies would be watching the game. Another car arrived while I sat there.

I started Baby Blue up and drove away before anyone saw me.

The only thing left to do was to go home.

As we drove back into town, Colin looked over at me with a worried expression. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“I don’t want to talk about it,” I said, not looking at him. After a few moments, I said, “Instead of taking me home, can you drop me off at the photography studio? I left my truck there.”

“Sure thing, Randi.”...

Pete's Vagina -47- Sold Out

As I pulled up on the dirt driveway at Jake’s house, I could not ignore the fact that his big red pickup truck was missing. I sat a moment, considering whether he might be at home despite his wheels not being there.

He couldn’t be at Joanna’s. I’d just come from there. None of the Fremonts were usual churchgoers, so maybe the family had gone out to breakfast? I decided I would have to find out if anyone was home. I still felt a knot inside that almost made it hard to breathe as ...
