    “More,” the hat said. “I want to fire more of them.” His voice became strained and he coughed a few times, then spit a splintered turkey leg bone onto the floor.

    “We’ve already fired a lot of them,” the hair told him. “Maybe let’s wait for the swearing in of Congress in January.”

    “Kelly. I want Kelly gone. He refuses to recognize my authority,” the hat said. He inched his way onto a sweet potato and settled onto it like a mother hen tending her eggs.

    “Kelly keeps everyone in line,” the hair protested.

    “I don’t care. We’ll put Corey in charge. He knows now how to take care of whiners.”

    The hair made a noncommittal grunt and typed on a laptop for a few seconds.

    “Mueller!” Donald yelled from the bathroom.

    “This sweet potato tastes funny,” the hat groused.

    “Maybe it’s a yam,” the hair said distantly.

    “It’s not a fucking yam. I know what a yam is. This is a sweet potato and it tastes funny.”

    “Is it maybe because it’s raw?” the hair asked.

    “Probably,” the hat said morosely. He crawled off the dissolving sweet potato and went back to the turkey carcass on the table.”There’s still plenty left if you want some.”

    “You know I don’t eat meat,” the hair said. He typed furiously on the laptop for a second.

    “What are you doing over there?” the hat whined.

    “Early Christmas shopping,” the hair said. “There are some great pre-Black Friday deals.”

    “‘Pre-Black Friday deals?” the hat said, spitting out a gnawed section of turkey spine.

    “Yeah, there are all sorts of…” the hair began.

    “Hold on, shut up, I just got an alert from Twitter,” the hat said.

    “Rude.”

    “Hey, I’ve had to keep Donald social media afloat all damn week. He refuses to get out of the tub!”

    “I can hear you!” Donald said in a singsong voice.

    “I don’t care,” the hat reply in the same singsong. The hat rattled off a string of characters on Donald’s phone.

    “All those trips to the wildfires really wore him out,” the hair said.

    “Fucking autocorrect,” the hat muttered. “How do you spell ‘smegma?’”

    “COOL!” Donald yelled. “My phone floats! Did you guys know my phone floats?”

    “It’s not a real phone,” the hat muttered.

    “That’s great, Donald. So smart of you to get a phone that floats for the bathtub!’ the hair yelled.

    “Smegma!” the hat said.

    “How am I supposed to know how to spell it?” the hair asked.

    “Look it up on the computer,” the hat said and sighed heavily.

    “‘S-,” the hair said, “‘M-.’”

    “Hurry up. I’ve got to get this tweet off.”

    “Uh. Maybe you should come over here,” the hair said.

    “What it is?”

    “Just come over here.”

    The hat crawled off a wad of dressing and made his way over to the hair.

    “What?” he asked querulously.

    “Looks at the autofill in the search line,” the hair said.

    SMooth and painful bump near anus

    “Uh…” the hat said.

    “I mean this wasn’t you, right?” the hair asked.

    “Of course not,” the hat said angrily. “My anus is 100% perfect. Solid gold. A+, number one, awesome. My anus could be the cover model for American Anus Monthly!”

    “I just thought if Donald was having, you know, butt problems, I’d know about it,” the hair said.

    “I mean, I guess,” the hat said. “But you are all the way up on the head. Maybe butt stuff just doesn’t make it up that far?”

    “What if…” the hair began and trailed off.

    “What if what?” the hair asked.

    “I’m just going to go for it,” the hair said. His tendril typed rapidly on the laptop.

    Hair club for men
    Hair in the drain
    Hair in my nose
    Hair in butt infected

    “OK,” the hair said, ‘That’s not so bad.”

    “Try ‘my hair,’” the hat whispered.

    My hair talks to me
    My hair is my best friend
    My hair ecards Valentine’s Day

    “Well, I guess that’s not so bad,” the hair said.

    “Do it,” the hat said. “Do it. I can’t not know now.” The hair typed once more.

    My hat might be Hitler

    “Hitler? HITLER? He thinks I might be Hitler?!?”

    “Well…” the hair said.

    “Well, what? What? Just spit it out.”

    “Well, you don’t like Jews very much.”

    “Well, I mean, yeah,” the hat said.”They are greedy and cheap and can’t be trusted and they killed Jesus. And then there’s…”

    “Hey, look, more results,” the hair said.

    My hat and hair are always fighting
    My hat makes sex noises
    My hat watches me take baths

    The hat groaned and the hair shifted around uncomfortably.

    “I only watch him in the bath in case he falls,” the hat said rapidly.

    “I don’t care,” the hair said. “None of my business, bruh.”

    “I’m getting all pruney!’ Donald called from the tub.

    “Did you get the California stench off you yet?” the hat called.

    “I’m working on it!’ the President of the United States yelled back.

    The hat slouched away from the laptop and back to his meal. Bones began cracking.

    “Are you done eating that pardoned turkey yet?” the hair asked.

    The hat burped loudly.

  • Thursday Afternoon Links – Drunken Raccoon Coffin Sex edition

    “SHE’S DEAD! WRAPPED IN PLASTIC!” Oh, Pete. Dear Pete.

    Here’s your chance to buy the coffin used for Laura Palmer’s burial in Twin Peaks. I can’t imagine any use for it beyond Claus Von Bulow sex games or a coffee table that makes your Tinder hook-up run out screaming (or, perhaps worse, NOT run out screaming.)

    And, no, I didn’t watch the remake, sequel, whatever you want to call it.


    Couple and Homeless Man Said to Have Made Up Story Behind $400,000 GoFundMe Campaign

    The strange case of a couple in New Jersey who raised $400,000 on GoFundMe for a homeless good Samaritan appears to be skidding into a surprise ending.

    Following earlier legal turmoil, the couple reportedly turned themselves in to [sic] authorities on Wednesday and will face charges for allegedly conspiring with the man to make up a heartwarming story in order to crowdfund the fortune, according to newly reported court documents.

    NBC Philadelphia obtained a copy of a complaint by Burlington County prosecutors that accuses Mark D’Amico and Kate McClure of conspiring with Johnny Bobbitt Jr. to deceive GoFundMe users into making donations. A source familiar with the case told NBC that D’Amico and McClure had already turned themselves in but did not confirm if Bobbitt had done the same.

    According to the report, the three made up the story that inspired 14,000 contributors to raise $400,000 for Bobbitt. In October of 2017, McClure started a GoFundMe campaign that claimed she’d run out of gas on the interstate when Bobbitt, who was allegedly homeless, approached her car. She said that he told her to sit tight and proceeded to use his last $20 to get her fuel. Inspired by his kindness, she and her boyfriend, D’Amico, set out to raise $10,000, allegedly to get him on his feet. A flood of donations ensued as the story went viral and the couple made television appearances. It’s unclear exactly what parts of the story were allegedly made up, but NBC claims that the charges will include conspiracy and theft by deception.

    The GoFundMe scam is a fine long con to add to the grifter playbook.


    Raccoons Suspected of Having Rabies Were Actually Just Drunk as Hell

    Following recent reports that two masked perpetrators were raising alarm in a town in West Virginia, police say they have reason to believe the troublemakers had just gotten wrecked.

    The Milton Police Department reportedly received accounts of stumbling and disoriented raccoons at least twice in the last week, and locals worried the raccoons might have rabies. But those suspicions were wrong. The raccoons in question—including one who was identified by police as Dallas—had reportedly gotten wasted by eating some fermented crab apples.

    “Ptl Scarberry made his first apprehension today, taking this masked bandit into custody with assistance [sic] of Sgt Collins and several neighborhood residents,” the Milton Police Department wrote in a Facebook post on Monday. “Ptl Withers caught one yesterday on Brickyard Ave with the help of the city street department. Today’s culprit was on Highland Ave and Mason Street and it was a community effort.”

    Both raccoons have been safely collected and dropped off in the woods. The department noted that if you happen to stumble upon one of these drunk idiots, you should not approach them. Call the city’s non-emergency line and they’ll come to collect the bombed raccoon themselves.

    You and your buddy are just out to have a good time, get a little tipsy and the fucking cops scoop you up and dump you out in the middle of nowhere and you’re like “Earl, where the hell are we?” and Earl’s all like, “How the hell am I supposed to know?” and you’re like, “What the hell was in those crab apples?” and Earl’s all like, “Beats me, dude, but I ain’t never drink again! Let’s try to figure out how to get home!” and then you both try not get eaten by a gotdamn cougar.

    “Which button takes the pitcher, Earl?”

    Jeff Sessions Is Forced Out as Attorney General as Trump Installs Loyalist

     

    Jeff Sessions, Exit Interview, 2018 November 7

    Donald stared at his desk and took a few deep breaths. He drank the last warm swallow of his Diet Coke, dropped the can on the floor and kicked it under the credenza with the side of his foot. He straightened his tie, shook his head to make his hair giggle and then sighed. He turned the hat on his desk to face the couch and looked around the Oval Office. Donald sighed again, his whole frame sagging.

    “OK,” he said, pressing the intercom, “Send him in.”

    The door to the outer office opened and the wizened creature shuffled in. Donald did not stand.

    “Mistah Presuhdent,” Jeff mumbled.

    “What? What did you say? Speak up,” Donald barked.

    “Ah’ma here, Mistah Presuhdent,” the elfin man said, his eyes squinting, his hands folded, almost leaning forward in a bow.

    “Goddammit, you talk like a fucking retard. You know that? Are you aware of that?” Donald asked, his voice low and tight.

    “Yes, Mistah Presuhdent.”

    “How is the country supposed to respect someone that talks like he has a mouth full of possum assholes?”

    The hat snickered softly while Jeff looked at his feet.

    “Is there something down there?” Donald asked. He stood up and walked around the desk. “Is there something on the floor that is going to answer my question?” He bent over to look at the floor. “Nope. I don’t see anything on the floor.”

    He straightened enough to look Jeff in his beady little eyes. “I certainly don’t see anything on the floor that would explain why you talk like LIKE YOU HAVE A MOUTH FULL OF POSSUM ASSHOLES!” he screamed.

    Jeff recoiled from the from the hail of McGriddle flecks and atomized Diet Coke pelting his face, the rancid tang of sweet and sour sauce filling his nose, the glaring eyes of Donald surrounded by loose, pale flesh.

    “Traitor,” Donald said in a hoarse whisper. “I made you Attorney General in order to help me. And you did nothing. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.”

    “Mistah…” Jeff began.

    “I don’t want to hear it,” Donald said, stalking away. “All I want is loyalty from my employees. 100% unquestioning loyalty. And you couldn’t even give me that, little man.”

    Jeff shuffled his feet.

    “Traitor!” Donald yelled. He rushed the smaller man and rammed the prow of his gut into Jeff’s wee torso. Jeff wheeled his arms for balance, staggered backyards a few steps and fell over.

    “Traitor!” Donald yelled again. He pulled off his hair and began whipping Jeff with it, repeating with every blow: “Traitor, traitor, traitor, traitor!”

    Donald, breathing heavily from the exertion, dropped his hair on the desk beside his hat. He sneered at the tiny, weeping, wrinkled man.

    “You’re done,” Donald said, jabbing at his with a forefinger. “You’re through. I want your resignation turned in before I can tweet about getting it. You have thirty minutes.”

    “Yes, sir,” Jeff said in a small voice.

    “Disgusting,” Donald said. “I wouldn’t even use you as a tampon.”

    The hat guffawed.

    “I’m going to go take a shit,” Donald said, smoothing the stray hairs on the sides of his head. “Get out. I’ll find someone for your job that knows how to do as he’s told.” Donald walked away and slammed the door to the Presidential Shitter behind him.

    “OH MY GAWD!” the hat crowed. “He fucked that n[beep]a up!”

    “Guh,” the hair replied weakly.

    “Really?” the hat asked no one in particular. “Not even n[beep]a? Really? It’s in rap songs all the damn time!”

    “Guh?!?” the hair asked. The hat realized that Jeff was staring at them both.

    “Ah bet you faggots think y’all real clever, dontcha?” Jeff asked the hat and the hair as he used the arm of the couch to pull himself up off the floor.

    “I think he can hear us,” the hat said to the hair in a stage whisper.

    “Guh,” the hair replied. He was spread out on the desk like a splatter.

    “Of course Ah can hear you little peckerwoods,” Jeff said, straightening his tiny suit jacket. He smoothed the thin hair on his small head, his little head that was no bigger than a grapefruit.

    “How can he hear us?” the hair asked wanly.

    “Ah’ll show you little buttfucks!” Jeff said triumphantly and sprayed glitter from his hands at them.

    “ELF!” the hat screamed. “ELF MAGIC! ELF!” He began to scream like an angry frog.

    The hair got up, every strand erect and hissed. Another handful of glitter hit him full on and he sputtered. “Motherfucker!” the hair said, shivering to get the glitter off.

    “DONALD!” the hat yelled as he threw himself off the desk tried to inchworm his way under the couch. A blast of glitter hit him before he wiggled to safety.

    “You all have been working ahgainst me from the vehry start!” Jeff said. “Fucking pothead hippie shitbirds!”

    The hair scuttled to the back of the Oval Office desk and jumped, aiming himself at a floor vent. “DONALD! GET IN HERE!” he yelled.

    “ELF MAGIC!” the hat clarified, coughing out glitter.

    Jeff grabbed the arm of the couch and strained with all his diminutive might to flip it over.

    “Elf magic?” the hair asked, hiding behind a ficus and trying to pry up the grate of a floor vent. “Is this really magic? I think he’s just throwing glitter at us.”

    “What’s the difference?” the hat asked, trying to climb into the underside of the couch. “I don’t want glitter on me, even if it isn’t magic.”

    “DONALD!” the hat cried. “COME DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR GODDAMN FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL!”

    The “Toxic Masculinity” of Nuclear Weapons

    So far, 69 countries have signed, and 19 have ratified, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, an agreement approved by the U.N. General Assembly in 2017. The formal ban on the use of nuclear arms could come into force as early as next year, once 50 countries ratify. The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017 for its efforts to promote the treaty.

    However, none of the nine states that already possess nukes have signed the treaty, and several, including the U.S., have explicitly stated they won’t abide by it. Meanwhile, a new country, North Korea, recently joined the nuclear weapons club, and several existing nuclear states, including the U.S., are planning upgrades for their arsenals.

    Over the weekend, I spoke with ICAN’s executive director, Beatrice Fihn, about the state of the global anti-nuclear movement. The 36-year-old Swedish attorney and activist, who was in France attending the Paris Peace Forum organized by President Emmanuel Macron, talked about the latest developments in North Korea, Donald Trump’s nuclear ambitions, and what the anti-nuclear movement has in common with #MeToo. The conversation has been edited for length and clarity.

    Yeah, I’ve heard you talk before about this connection between nuclear weapons and masculinity. I wonder to what degree you see your own campaign as connected to the #MeToo movement and the larger conversation around sexual violence.

    I think they’re very connected. There’s this idea of threatening to get what you want and to feel power. That’s the whole basis for nuclear weapons—the idea that if you make other people scared enough, you feel safe. And it’s not just about adding women. It’s also about questioning what’s power and what’s security, and whose security are you talking about. Those in power aren’t supposed to be unchallenged, and they’re not going to change anything by themselves. We can’t let them dictate the norms around this.


    Doctors End Up Treating the Emotional Devastation Trump’s Policies Cause

    We in the medical profession are supposed to help our patients manage their illnesses. We’re even accustomed to dealing with the many nonmedical issues that affect our patients’ health—insurance, literacy, housing, food, transportation. But as the basic tenets of our society are being wrenched away, we are increasingly powerless. I can use my medical training to treat anxiety and depression, but there’s nothing in the medical playbook for acute national rejection. I have tools and colleagues to help a patient with acute suicidal ideation, but there’s no algorithm for the flogging of basic humanity. In medicine, we are taught to seek out and eradicate the etiologic agents of disease. But what do we do when the etiology is our very country?

    Mr. A and I methodically sorted through his symptoms and agreed on a treatment plan. He said he would not actually kill himself, because of his devotion to his wife and children—he was willing to make a safety plan based around that. We decided on a medication to help with his acute symptoms, and I made referrals to our psychiatry team and social worker.

    But as Mr. A’s physician, I couldn’t do much to ameliorate the root causes of his distress. My primary clinical intervention, it seemed, was to pass the box of tissues back and forth between us. At one point, I put my hand on his shoulder. “Please know,” I said, “that not all of America feels this way and so many are fighting to change this.” It sounded pretty thin, even to me, but still, I felt obliged to say something. After all, it was my own father’s journey to America 60 years ago that enabled me to be sitting here in a white coat. With luck, Mr. A’s journey would allow his son to do the same thing for a future generation of patients.

    The midterm election results felt liked we’d clawed back a bit of our country. But still, it wasn’t enough to heal the damage done to so many people. We still live in a country that sees fit to dehumanize and denigrate our neighbors and fellow human beings. And that dehumanization does real harm, to real people. I see it every day in my patients. We can try our best to treat the symptoms, but what we really need is to treat the cause.

    George R.R. Martin admits he’s “struggling” with The Winds of Winter

    George R.R. Martin’s been living a life of champagne wishes and caviar dreams since HBO turned Game Of Thrones into a cultural phenomenon, hobnobbing with celebrities and inking TV deals as if there isn’t an unfinished manuscript gathering dust on his Wordstar 4.0. He’s shared sample chapters from his upcoming The Winds Of Winter to satiate the frothing mob, and even gave a middle finger to those who worry he won’t be able to finish A Song Of Ice And Fire before kicking the bucket. In a new interview with The Guardian, however, he’s opened up a bit about just how hard it’s been to slip into his old writing routine when the world’s pounding on your door.

    “I’ve been struggling with it for a few years,” he said. “The Winds of Winter is not so much a novel as a dozen novels, each with a different protagonist, each having a different cast of supporting players, antagonists, allies and lovers around them, and all of these weaving together against the march of time in an extremely complex fashion. So it’s very, very challenging.”

    Creepy Porn Lawyer Strikes Again – But This Time His Target Is Fox News’ Tucker Carlson

    From Carlson’s statement on the incident:

    On October 13, I had dinner with two of my children and some family friends at the Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, Virginia. Toward the end of the meal, my 19-year-old daughter went to the bathroom with a friend. On their way back through the bar, a middle-aged man stopped my daughter and asked if she was sitting with Tucker Carlson. My daughter had never seen the man before. She answered: ‘That’s my dad,’ and pointed to me. The man responded, ‘Are you Tucker’s wh*re?’ He then called her a ‘f**king c*nt.’

    My daughter returned to the table in tears. She soon left the table and the club. My son, who is also a student, went into the bar to confront the man. I followed. My son asked the man if he’d called his sister a ‘whore’ and a ‘c*nt.’ The man admitted he had, and again become profane. My son threw a glass of red wine in the man’s face and told him to leave the bar, which he soon did.

    Avenatti contends all this yelling wasOK because his client is a gay Latino immigrant. And that having a glass of wine thrown in his face was so, so much worse than calling a 19-year-old noncombatant a whore and cunt.

    Avenatti is becoming the Gloria Allred of the Resistance.

    Yes, yes… throwing the wine is assault. And words are not violence. And fighting words is a bullshit doctrine. Pay for the dry-cleaning and throw Avenatti a dollar in lawyer’s fees. [bangs gavel]

    Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Fried Chicken Bites

    You’ll start with a single 9-ounce bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, which get pulsed into a fine powder in the food processor. As they cook, the Cheetos lose a bit of their kick, so you’ll want to add a pinch of cayenne and some salt to the powdered Cheetos to keep them flamin’ (sorry, I had to say it).

    Here’s the best part: You’ll coat the chicken bites in mayo before tossing them in the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos powder. The mayo keeps the chicken juicy and helps the coating stick. While the recipe calls for a few zip-top bags to keep cleanup minimal, feel free to use small bowls instead.

    You’ll notice these chicken bites are pan-fried, rather than deep-fried. Pan-frying is easier and uses less oil, and because you’ll be able to control the temperature of the oil more easily, you don’t risk burning the Flamin’ Cheeto coating.

    Can you imagine how horrible it would be if your butthole had tastebuds?

    “RED WAVE! RED WAVE! RED WAVE!” The chanting died away as the party wore on.

    Paul Ryan was the first to leave, executing the perfect Irish goodbye, slipping out as the second round of canapes and peg boys were brought in, tears in his eyes as he said farewell to this life of excess and power, a vague idea of mounting a primary challenge in 2020 squirming around in his mind like wad of sick eels.

    Jeff was next, making excuses and shaking hands and trying to turn his grimace into a smile. He had snuck into the Presidential Shitter and left a glistening turd on the floor and wiped his ass on a bathrobe. He had spent the whole victory party waiting to be fired but he had avoided Donald all night, staying below his sightline, like a small furry mammal trying to hold on until the meteor would come and take all the giant dinosaurs away. He slept under his bed all night, crying, wondering if he had ever really been loved by anyone.

    Mitch had gotten drunk on his own cheap bourbon and his quiet, tiny Chinese wife tried to keep him away from the slim young boys brought in to pass around the food and drinks and their own sweet pink mouths to anyone interested. He had been screaming about facefucking an underling since they had been accosted in a Louisville restaurant and his leftovers had been thrown into the street. She guided him out—stumbling, lurching, muttering, grim–when the bourbon pushed him into one of his moods. She got him in a limo, vowing not to be the face that got fucked that night.

    Hope, her face perfect, brought along the new man she was draining the life out of. She kissed Donald on the cheek and brushed a hand lightly against his mushroom as she leaned in. Donald had been dreaming about her as the campaign schedule for the midterms had worn him down enough to fitfully sleep. He had dreamed she had eaten him, starting with the feet and working her way up. No pain, no blood, just pleasure has her strong white teeth bit into him, as her jaw and neck tensed to tear pieces of him away. He had always woken up before she reached his genitals, but the dream satisfied nonetheless. He watched her teeth as she made her way around the party and stayed uncomfortably erect until she made her excuses and left.

    Melania had walked through once, early on, her face a stone mask, ushering Barron before her like a shield. She said nothing to no one and kept Barron from eating anything from the passing trays of delicacies and grotesques. When the boy had run to his Uncle Steve, and the bleary eyes of the old drunk had brightened, and his shaking hands had reached out to tousle the boy’s hair, she had pulled him back and the two of them retreated to the residence. She insisted that he sleep in her room that night and made the young scion help her push a dresser up against the door.

    “All are welcome, all are welcome,” Donald roared. He was on a throne he had had erected by trembling interns, boxes of copy paper stacked high into a dais, the legs of a regal old chair they had found in the basement digging into the tops. Donald had demanded a scepter and a crown. A joke, you see. He meant nothing by it, he had told them. All a joke, all just humor. But when he had come out of the Presidential Shitter, around 2am, when no one was left that would dare to object, in a crown taped together from yellow paper and a scepter made from a mailing tube and gold paint and a bathrobe with a streak of shit down the back, dark with occult blood, thrown over his shoulders like a robe and had ascended to his throne and tossed handful of quarters at the loyalists who were dutifully cheering, it hadn’t seemed like much of a joke and no one was laughing but a hat that almost no one else could hear.

    * * * * *

    “We gained seats in the Senate, at least,” the hair said, reading a copy of The Wall Street Journal that a secretary had thrown into the room.

    “Have they mentioned the Red Wave?” the hat asked, not even looking up from tweeting.

    “Don’t call it that.”

    “Why not.”

    “Uh, because it sounds like a giant menstrual clot sweeping the country?”

    “Oh, grow up,” the hat snapped.

    “You grow up,” the hair said back.

    Sarah danced in the middle of the Oval Office, eyes closed, frowning, swaying back and forth queasily to music only she could hear. Her dress was off and one bra strap undone; the left breast hung out, flabby and listless, the baby-gnawed nipple rugose and blood-blister maroon. From ribcage to knees she was in industrial-grade Spanx. She had pissed herself some time ago.

    Donald laughed, picking through a tray of wilted canapes and drinking Diet Coke from an ornate goblet. Occasionally he would flick a caper at Sarah and clap if they stuck to her pallid flesh. His paper crown was torn, discarded; his scepter, bent from hitting Corey when he had tried to frottage the Valiant desk, was in the trash. The gold-faced intern that had made both snored behind and fake ficus filled with cigarette butts and used female condoms. The USA hat and the FLOTUS hat had been wadded into an erotic ball and wedged between his butt cheeks by laughing Ben Shapiro. He had left by the Kennedy fuck tunnels hours ago, leaving his +1 snoring on the couch.

    “Steve! STEVE!” the hat yelled. “WAKE UP!”

    “Stop yelling, stop yelling!” Donald said. “My head is killing me.”

    “Maybe you should try and get some sleep, Donald,” the hair said. “You got the midterms results speech at 11:30.”

    “Fake news,” Donald mumbled.

    Steve rolled over on the couch and farted loudly, wetly and for an inhuman length of time.

    “Is he trying to turn himself inside out?” the hair asked, aghast.

    “Hobos learn to fart when they can,” the hat said, tweeting furiously. “He needs to go before anyone catches him in the White House. The press will plotz.”

    Steve jerked when the long fart finally petered out. The shrimp he had stuffed his pockets with fell to the floor one by one.

    “Is there any way he didn’t just shit himself?” the hair asked. Donald giggled.

    “My victory speech is at 11:30?” he asked. “And the press will be there? Fake CNN and fake MSNBC and fake CNC and fake BBC?”

    “It will be heavily covered, Donald,” the hat said. “At least go take a shower. You smell like a homeless vagina.”

    “It’s not a victory, Donald,” the hair said. “The Democrats took the House. They can release your tax returns and have subpoena power.”

    “Just let them,” the hat growled.

    “They’ll never impeach me,” Donald said, drawing himself up in his chair. He looked regal in his stained undershirt and man-panties.

    “It’s not about that…” the hair started.

    “NEVER!” Donald said, slamming his hand down on his desk. Sarah screamed.

    “PIE!” he yelled. “Come here!”

    Sarah shuffled over to him, a pout on her face. He gathered up her exposed breast meat and brought the rough nipple to his mouth.

    “Lactate!” he ordered, talking around her flesh in his mouth.

    “Mr. President,” she said, tears beginning in her asymmetrical eyes.

    “Do it!” the hat screeched.

    Donald sucked and sucked and sucked until the blood began to flow and he drank.

     

  • Subaru Horror Theatre, Vol. 5. – Making Memories

     

    I stood by the box of mementos I had pulled out of the old Subaru for a long time after Jenny drove away. I felt my wife walk back inside and leave me in the driveway. I guess she thought I was thinking about Jenny going away to college. But I was replaying memories, trapped in them really. I did that more and more as I got older and slower and my habits became more dangerous for me to indulge in. I thought about the times I had cleaned the car by myself, and then in the first time I had to clean the car. The old Subaru was brand new then, an extravagant present from my wife’s parents while she was still expecting. They never really learned that buying things for people wasn’t the same thing as loving them.

    I started thinking about the first girl I had taken for a ride. I thought about the mistakes I made. I thought about the embarrassment I felt at being so clumsy and the embarrassment I felt over being so embarrassed. It’s a miracle I managed it at all…

    I drove around downtown until I found her, alone, propped up against a filthy brick wall, nodding off. I stopped and rolled down my window, gave her my harmless smile and let her get a look at the muddy mom car before I waved a little baggie of rock salt to get her attention. She stumbled to the passenger door window and practically fell into the Forester.

    “I’ve never done this before,” she said, after agreeing to suck my dick for the baggie. Yeah, right.

    “I’ve never done this before either,” I said. I was at least being truthful. “Let’s drive somewhere private.”

    She got in. She didn’t smell too bad, but I turned up the a/c just a little. Stick-thin arms and legs, flannel over a worn-thin t-shirt, so old I couldn’t even make out the decal. Denim skirt. I pushed her dirty boots off my seat when she drew her knees up to her chest in an instinctive fear response.

    “Sorry,” she mumbled and crossed her arms over her chest, hugging herself.

    I could barely concentrate to drive, I was so excited. But she was only focused on the supposed meth in the baggie. I kept it in view on my side of the dashboard. A risk but a good one; she never realized how far out in the county I was driving her for what was supposed to be a quick bit of head.

    She wanted a hit right after we parked, said it would get her in the mood. The rock salt, found in my garage from last winter, didn’t fool her a bit. “Hey, man, what is this shit?” I said nothing.

    “Fuck this,” she said. She pulled at the handle on her door with both hands, but nothing happened, of course. “Child locks,” I told her and laughed, taking off my seatbelt.

    I hit her, a good one that I was able to get my shoulder into, catching her right in the mouth. I split her upper lip and when she started to cry, I saw I had broken off a tooth, maybe with my wedding ring. It was a jagged bit of white through all the blood.

    I hit her again. Dazed, her head lolled back and her mouth filled with blood. She choked and spit it up. Blood was already everywhere. I was painfully erect by now. I thought my cock was going to rip open my jeans.

    I choked her with both hands, knocking her head against the passenger window as hard as I dared. It would have been hard to fix a broken window by myself. Blood was flying all over. I remember wondering if I could hose out the interior of the Subaru directly.

    I thought she was out when I took one hand off her neck to get my pants down. I was planning to tear her up. I was going to fuck her in half and then fuck each half twice for good measure. Fucking jeans, I thought. Why did I wear jeans? I looked down to work the button-fly.

    I guess I had released the pressure too much. Her eyes opened. One handful of fingernails dug into the hand I still had on her neck; the rest of them went for my eyes. I jerked back and just got two ragged furrows on my cheek. Both hands went back around her neck and I fell over on her, pinning her arms.

    I was face to face with her. I remember being struck by how beautiful she was in the moment, furious, fighting for her life, fingernails, and fangs. I squeezed harder and dipped forward for a quick kiss, her blood on my lips, salty and hot, like ejaculate. The kiss woke something up in her. She fought harder and then harder still when I laughed.

    She got a knee into my crotched, but rather feebly. It still hurt. The scratches on my face burned like she had poured acid on them. This was going on too long. The anger just poured out of me. So I just squeezed. I forgot about her dirty little meth slit, and all the games I was going to play until I had to get back home. There was just the killing now, the big finish, the grand finale.

    Her eyes were just a couple of inches from mine. I got to watch the blood vessels in them burst. She wasn’t fighting anymore, more holding onto my hands than trying to pry them off of her, and making gek gek gek sounds as she tried to take a breath. I watched the anger in her face drain, and then the fright that replaced it go as well.

    And then I got to see the exact moment she stopped being a person. I let loose in my pants. It was the longest and most intense orgasm of my life. It felt like I was filling my pants with a quart of lava-hot jizz. So much better than the break-in rapes or the hookers I beat up in the city. I’d never bothered with any of that ever again.

    I kept choking her, even though I knew she was dead. When I felt her hyoid bone snap, I finally let go and leaned back into my seat. I yawned suddenly; yawned so wide that my jaw cracked. My first post-kill sleepies, although I hadn’t thought up the name yet. I shook them off. There was work still do.

    I looked around to make sure we were still alone and then turned on the dome light. She lay there like a broken doll. There was just nothing there anymore, not the flush of her youth, or her nervous energy, nothing of what I had found so attractive just a few minutes.

    There were scabs on her arms, and her legs were rough with stubble where they stuck out of the ragged hem of her denim miniskirt. I tore open her thin t-shirt. Her breasts were tiny and the right was larger than the left. I touched them both and squeezed them as hard as I could. She didn’t scream, so it was just boring.

    I brushed her hair out of her face. She was actually pretty ugly when you got down to it. Acne scars and a big nose. She had nice eyes, I guess, a calm blue that was going white as the corneas dried.

    I unzipped the skirt and tugged it off. Filthy yellow panties. I pulled them off too and found a tampon string hanging from her cunt. The whole wound was an angry red, and smelled infected, like it was rotting away. She had shit herself. More mess to clean up.

    I got out and walked around to her door. She was leaning against it and fell most of the way out of the car all on her own. I took up a bunch of her hair and pulled her the rest of the way out and dropped her on the grass.

    I took off her shoes and socks and set them aside and then gathered the rest of her clothes out of the car. I pulled out her cheap earrings out and stuck them in my pants pocket.

    I hadn’t parked out with her in the middle of nowhere on a whim. I had scouted the area for weeks while running errands for the bed-bound wife. I dragged her to the old well I had found and left her there.

    I walked back to the car and got out paper towels and bleach and lighter fluid and a large jar of lye. I stripped off all my clothes and added them to the pile with hers and cleaned myself up in front of the car with the headlights on. The bleach burned my skin and I got itchy. I would have to think of something else for next time. I put her earrings in a little jelly jar and topped it off with bleach.

    The great wads of bloody paper towels and the clothes I carried over to a small pit I had dug yards from the well. I soaked them with the entire can of lighter fluid and tossed it in as well. I lit an entire pack of matches and flicked it into the pit from as far away as I could manage. A great fireball lit up the night.

    I swore all the way back to her body. I picked her up and dropped her in the well ass-first and she folded up like a pocket knife and there was a splash. I poured an entire bottle of bleach over her then I carefully open the gallon jar of lye and poured it in as well. I wasn’t sure what it would do. I knew there was water down there, but not how much. Maybe the lye would burn her up.

    I replaced the boards I had taken off the well earlier and walked back, naked, barefoot and cold to the fire pit and tossed in the lye jar and the bleach bottle. The pit was burning merrily. I wanted to stay and watch, but I knew I needed to leave. I pulled on the extra clothes I had brought and marveled again at the amount of cargo room.

    I drove away and parked at another location I had scouted out. It took hours to clean the car. I had at least thought to put a thick mil plastic under the seats and the floorboard and had put all the mats in the garage. The sheeting had caught most of the blood, and the interior cleaned up well, but the passenger seat was a total loss, soaked in blood and shit and piss. I unbolted it and tossed it in a ditch. When I was otherwise ready to go back home, I soaked it with the extra can of lighter fluid and set it on fire as well.

    I parked in the garage to keep the neighbors from noticing the missing seat and took a shower in the downstairs bathroom. I wasn’t sleeping in the same bed with my enormously pregnant wife, so she never even knew I was gone. I called around the next day until I found a seat in a junkyard and replaced the missing one before my wife, who could only get out of bed to go to the bathroom or the hospital, even knew. By the time she went into labor, even the bleach smell was gone.

    I told her the scratches were from a cat I had found that had been hit by a car. It had lashed out while dying, I had said, which was mostly the truth. I had been gone so long burying it. It was a good excuse. I hated to use it up.

    The first kill. Nothing like your first. There are an even dozen jelly jars in my secret place in the basement and that old Subaru had helped with every one of them.

    I must have not moved for a solid half-an-hour while reminiscing and my wife finally came outside to check on me. She walked in front of me and waved her hand in my eyes. I hated that. Every time she did it, I thought about cutting off her hands.

    “Are you OK?” she asked.

    “I’m fine. Just empty-nesting,” I said.

    She looked down and leaned in. “You have an enormous erection,” she said with the slightly humorous lust of the long-married.

    “That’s the upside of the empty nest,” I said and leaned forward enough for it to dig into her hip.

    “Let’s go inside,” she said, a smile on her face. I nodded and let her lead me.

    I would have to break in the new Subaru another night.

  • Warty Hugeman and the Sensitive Vampires

     

    “I will destroy you all, vampire scum!” Warty growled at the feeding horde of bloodthirsty undead. They had killed the entire population of a small town and their bodies lay all around them, drained and pale, contorted in pain, or just torn to pieces. The town itself was burning in the distance behind them.

    “Whoa, whoa, there’s no need to be hasty, friend,” the vampire in front said, lisping around his extended fangs.

    “Look at this stake,” Warty said, raising a gnarled spike of gray and black wood. “I carved it from the last tree that will ever live. I’m going to shove it into your dead hearts and scrape them from your chests.”

    “Wow. Such violent language,” a blonde vampire in back of the horde of undead said.

    “Is that really necessary?” said a stately vampire dressed in rotted silk and lace.

    “I’m very uncomfortable right now,” a child vampire said, the lower part of her face caked with gore. In her hand was the forearm of an infant that she took occasional sucks off of like a lollipop. “I just don’t think you are making this a safe space for expression.”

    “You are murderers. You’ve drained this town dry,” Warty said. He kicked the nearest vampire in the crotch and his pelvis snapped audibly. Warty plunged the stake into the creature’s chest and he exploded into flame and ash, his disarticulated skeleton clattering to the ground.

    Gasps. A few stifled cries. One vampire with blood-matted dreads and a tie-dyed cape exclaimed, “Harsh. Way harsh, bro.”

    “You’re next, hippie,” Warty promised, advancing.

    “Human supremacist,” one of the bloodsuckers hissed.

    “Yeah, bro,” tie-dye said. “Check your living privilege.”

    Warty backhanded him and his blood-stained fangs went flying out of his mouth.

    “I’m going to cleanse this town of your kind,” Warty said, staking the toothless hippie.

    “Fascist,” the little girl vampire hissed. The word got repeated, passed around like a joint; soon the entire crowd was high on it.

    “I am not a fascist,” Warty said. “You are predators. Killers. Murderers.”

    “We have a disease, man,” the silk-draped vampire said.

    “An addiction. Gripped in the throes of addiction,” the child vampire said.

    “We didn’t ask to be this way,” said a vampire in pantaloons and blouse, advancing on Warty. “We’re the real victims here.”

    Warty shoved the vampire to the ground and they all backed away.

    “Typical Neanderthal,” a tall blonde said. Her eyes were icy blue chips. “The only language he speaks is violence.”

    A short female Hispanic vampire held up her hand. “Uh, Desomelda, I feel that as the only queer undead-of-color present, I should lead the re-education efforts of this huminated individual.”

    The blonde’s haughty demeanor fell away. “Of course, Yara,” she said and melted into the back of the crowd.

    Yara waddled forward, her fat little arms held out for balance.

    “Blood-bloated tick,” Warty sneered.

    “Your fatphobia has been noted,” Yara sneered back and many in the crowd smiled with confirmed bias.

    Warty held up his stake. “If I get you with this, will it be the ash and flame gag, or will you just pop like a blood balloon?”

    “That tone is very hurtful,” the child vampire said, her youthful face betrayed by her ancient, flat eyes.

    “We know who you are, Warty Hugeman,” Yara said. She used fingers that dripped with blood to put air quotes around “man.”

    “If you know who I am, then you know why I’m here to kill you,” Warty growled.

    “Of course,” she said. “A hemophagic individual…”

    “Vampire,” Warty interjected.

    Yara rolled her milky eyes and continued, “A hemophagic individual supposedly hurt someone you loved…”

    “She bled out in my arms,” Warty said tightly.

    “Please stop interrupting,” Yara said, “It’s very rude.” The vampires behind her raised their hands and uptwinkled in agreement.

    “OK,” Warty said through clenched teeth.

    “Someone you loved was hurt and you blame all the persons who share the same disease that the supposed killer or killers also have. Is this correct?”

    “Yes,” Warty said.

    “And you feel that you need to kill everyone with the same disease?”

    “The vampire threat…” Warty began. He was drowned out as the assembled bloodsuckers started barking in tandem.

    It was so strange, Warty took a step back. “What the fuck?”

    The short fat little vampire raised her arm and the barking stopped. “Please do not use the V-word,” Yara said. “We find it very offensive.” They all nodded, even the little girl trying to gnaw her way into the marrow of the denuded humerus she held.

    “The v-word,” Warty said and sighed heavily.

    “We have a disease, but we are not our disease,” Yara said crisply. “We are victims of an infection none of us chose.”

    Someone behind her coughed loudly.

    “An infection that most of us didn’t choose,” Yara corrected herself. “Please forgive me Archibald.” A pair of hands uptwinkled behind her.

    “Victims?” Warty snorted. “You just murdered everyone in this entire town.”

    “Yes, an unfortunate side effect of our disease. Sacrifices sometimes have to be made.”

    A vampire staggered forward out of the crowd and vomited a spray of blood at Warty. He leaped back before the spray of blood hit him and he ordered his shoulder-mounted gun to fire. The vomiting creature was peppered with a dozen balls of compressed holy water. The vampire was drenched, and the ones near him were splattered. Their skin smoked and split where the water hit them. But the one that took the direct hits just kept vomiting, leaning over, his hands on his knees.

    “Stop!” Yara yelled. “They wasn’t attacking you.”

    “Yes he was!” Warty replied.

    “They is just sick. Them not mean anything by it.”

    “Why are you talking like a retard?” Warty asked, still in a defensive crouch.

    “Wallid’s preferred pronouns are they and them, you shitlord,” the little girl snapped. She threw the splintered humerus at him weakly.

    All of them had backed away from the vomiting vampire. They was just down to dry heaves at that point, them stomach convulsing painfully.

    “What the fuck is wrong with… “ Warty asked, pointing.

    “Wallid is still learning to digest blood. They is so brave. We are all very proud of them,” Yara said.

    “Learning to digest blood? It’s a… v-word,” Warty finished lamely.

    “Well, if you must know,” Yara said primly, “Wallid is a transhemophage.”

    Warty pulled up an infrared view on his tactical display. Wallid stood out bright red and yellow against the group of ambient temperature wraiths ringed around him.

    “So he thinks he’s vampire?” Warty asked.

    Yara backed up and started to raise her arm.

    “You dipshits start barking again, it’s holy water enemas for all of you,” Warty said.

    The vampire horde, gasped, offended.

    “Test me on this,” Warty said, and gave them a very scary smile.

    Wallid straightened up and glared at Warty.

    “You’re just so… so…,” they said, grasping for something truly hateful to say, “Reductive.” The sneer turned into a triumphant smile.

    Warty pointed to the vomited up blood. “Reduct that, dumbfuck.”

    “I am a vampire,” Wallid said. “I am. Ever since I was a small child I felt like a vampire. I’ve always known.”

    “You used the v-word,” Warty said.

    “Well, I can,” Wallid said. “It’s our word, not yours.”

    “You’re surrounded by vampires, idiot. Just get one of them to turn you.”

    “Some transhemos choose to stay non-bit; some are pre-bit,” Wallid said. “You don’t define me.”

    “You’re covered in holy water,” Warty said.

    Wallid looked around, stricken. A few of the other vampires nodded at him sadly. He though for a moment, then screamed and began to beat at his clothes and ran away.

    “Happy, now?” Yara asked him.

    “Yeah, pretty happy,” Warty said, smiling.

    “Wallid is an important member of the HLPQT+ community and you just humiliated they,” Yara said. She bared her fangs and hissed.

    “HLPQT+ community?” Warty asked. “Aw, fuck it.” He staked Yara and she blew up like a tractor tire filled with blood and guts and more blood.

    “Who’s next?” he asked. “I want the Master Vampire.”

    “There is no Master,” the demonic little girl told him.

    “We operate on more of an adhocracy model, forming committees to tackle specific problems within the community and then disbanding,” the tall blond Desdomelda said. “For decisions that affect us all, we come together for a series of democratic votes, each vote weighted to reflect the intersections of prejudice and obsession the individual voter experiences.”

    “This making any sense, caveman?” the little girl asked. Warty stepped forward before any of them could react and kicked her head clean off. It sailed out behind the horde and disappeared.

    “Enough debate!” Warty said.

    “Violence is the last refuge of the moron,” Desdomelda sniffed.

    Warty unzipped the timesuit crotch and the Doomcock 2.0 deployed from its pelvic silo.

    “Here comes patriarchy,” Warty said.

     

    THE END

  • Subaru Horror Theatre, Vol. 4: Trying New Things

    Note: The YouTube link for this commercial went dead, but you can watch it at the following address:

    https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7nfu/subaru-trying-new-things

     

    Still unsettled from the hot springs foursome with the overweight desert couple, Jim and Jane drove in uneasy silence.

    “We shouldn’t have done that,” Jane whispered again.

    “We shouldn’t have done that,” Jim agreed. He thought about the hairy maw between to the woman’s legs and the unfortunate glimpse he caught of the man stubby penis being awkwardly jabbed into Jane’s mouth as she cried.

    “Stop the car,” Jane said. Jim grunted.

    “STOP THE CAR!” Jane screamed.

    Jim slammed on the brakes and the Subaru screeched to a halt. Jane scrambled out and began vomiting, bug parts and rank, yellowed semen spraying forcefully. Jim noticed dully that her heaving was oddly timed to the beeping the car was making for the door being ajar.

    “Get it all out, baby,” he said. He ignored the rush of blood into his sore penis as he listened to her. He had hidden his emetophilia their entire marriage.

    Jane stood up and spat and gagged and then spat again.

    “Do we have any water?” she asked hoarsely. Jim rummaged behind her seat until he came up with a bottle.

    “Sorry, it’s warm,” he said, leaning over to hand it to her.

    With shaking hands, she got the top off and took a long drink. She turned to the side as the water came right back up.

    “Just wash out your mouth, maybe,” Jim said. He rode out the glare she shot back at him with a weak smile.

    Jane rinsed and spit and rinsed and spit. Jim ground the heel of his hand into his crotch, forcing his erection down the leg of his pants. She threw the empty bottle into the scrub by the side of the road and got back in.

    “You OK?” Jim asked.

    “No, but I’ll live,” she said. “Drive. Just drive.” She pulled the door shut and the dome light went off.

    Jim took off too fast, the tires spinning in the loose gravel and dust of the road shoulder before the car jumped forward onto the road. They rode in a grim silence.

    After a few miles, Jim ventured: “Scuba diving and falconry. Logrolling and bug sushi. Lots of new things we tried today.”

    Jane coughed and shook in her seat.

    “What?”

    “I know something you didn’t try,” Jane said laughing.

    Jim laughed too.

    “It tasted worse coming up than going down,” Jane said.

    “Don’t try and tell me anything about something tasting worse,” Jim said. Jane howled with laughter.

    “I’m going to brush my teeth for a week when we get home,” he said.

    She waved at him to stop because she was laughing so hard and slapped playfully at his arm.

    “Oh god,” she said, leaning over to hug his arm when she got her laughter under control, “I think peed a little.” She rubbed his thin chest through his shirt.

    “It’s getting dark,” she said.

    “The day of trying new things is over,” Jim said sadly.

    She sat up and kissed his cheek. “It doesn’t have to be,” she said.

    “It doesn’t?” he asked in mock innocence. He looked down at her, but her eyes were locked on the road ahead.

    “Hold on,” she said and jerked the wheel to the left with her free hand. There was a meaty thump from the front bumper.

    “What the fuck?” Jim shouted and hit the brakes. “What was that?”

    “A coyote, I think,” she said. She ran her hand down his faded erection as the car stopped and then trailed it along him as she undid her seat belt and slipped out of the Subaru.

    “Where are you going?” he yelled but she only laughed.

    He put the car in park and looked ahead of them and behind them and didn’t see any lights of approaching cars. He got out and walked back to where she was standing in a pool of light from her cell phone.

    “See? I told you it was a coyote,” she said. She sounded giddy.

    Jim looked down at the mangled form in the road, bloody and twisted. Its back was bent the wrong way and its belly had burst. More intestines and organs were trailed out on the asphalt than he thought could have fit in the skinny little body. He bent over to get a look at the tongue hanging from mouth. An ear twitched and he jumped back.

    “It’s not dead,” he said.

    “Nope. He’s a tough little fucker.”

    “How is he not dead?”

    Jane began to circle the coyote, snapping pictures to get from every angle.

    “I guess I should get a rock or something,” Jim said. The bug sushi was threatening to come back up on him as well.

    “Don’t bother,” she said. She walked back toward the car and squatted down, trying to capture the trail of blood and viscera leading to the coyote.

    “Step away, babe, you’re in the shot,” she said.

    “The smell,” Jim said. He stumbled to the brush beside the road and swallowed hard a couple times.

    “Go check on the car,” Jane said. “I just want to get a few more shots for Instagram.”

    Jim walked away on stiff legs, his hands beginning to shake. He turned on the flashlight app on his phone and inspected the front of the Subaru. There was a streak of blood and half of one of the ears was stuck in the grill.

    “Doesn’t look too bad,” Jane said right beside him and he had to stifle a scream. It came out eek eek eek, like rubbing a blown up balloon, and he sat down hard from his squat.

    Jane laughed at him and helped him to stand. As he brushed himself off and tried to regain some dignity, she worried the half ear out of the grill.

    “You ready?” she asked. He nodded.

    After getting back in, he sat for a moment to let his hands stop shaking.

    “You OK to drive?” she asked.

    “Yeah.”

    “The day of new things,” she said as he started driving. She fished around in a sack of trash from the back floorboard and came up with a hamburger wrapper. She folded it around the half ear tenderly and tucked it into her purse.

    She snuggled up to him again and kissed his cheek. He could smell the vomit on her breath.

    “Let’s find something bigger,” she whispered.

  • The Hat and The Hair Extended Universe: Hillary, The Becoming: Episode 23

    “Bring me The Vessel!” Hillary called across the blasted plain.

    Two burly women stepped through the dimensional gate, each with a hand around Huma’s arms. She was dressed in a white nightgown, filthy, the lace yellowed by age.

    “Hillary!” Huma cried and tried to free herself.

    “Let her go,” Hillary instructed. Freed, Huma ran to her and threw her arms around her portly lover.

    “Where have you been?” Huma asked.

    “Shh,” Hillary said, guiding her to the first step of the dais and smoothing her hair behind her ears.

    “The Vessel!” she told the horde.

    “The Vessel!” they cried back.

    Hillary ran her hands down Huma’s body.

    “She is fertile and fecund!” Hillary declared. “Our Master will be born through her and He will rule for a thousand years!”

    The crone cackled and lightning flashed.

    “I’m sort of uncomfortable with the word ‘Master,’” someone in the horde said.

    “And I feel like a very unfortunate connotation of masculinity has crept into our conception of the ultradimensional being we worship,” said another.

    There were murmurs of agreement all around. Hillary buried her face in her hands. She was about to explain it to them all again when a voice piped up.

    “Honey, are y’all about done with y’all’s meetin’?”

    Through splayed fingers, she could see Bill’s disembodied head poking through the ragged gash they had torn in reality to travel to the cratered hell plain.

    “Billlllllllll…” she began, the old rage inside her.

    “Hi-ya, Ruthie,” Bill said, waving to the crone. “Ladies,” he said to the horde and winked.

    “Lllllllll! Get the fuck out of here,” Hillary screamed.

    “Ah, now, sweetheart, don’t get upset,” he said and smiled.

    “Hi, Billy,” one girl said.

    The seasoned rake looked back to the horde. “Y’all’s pussy hats are so cute. I like pink pussies a lot.”

    Hillary was shaking with rage, spittle building up in the corners of her mouth.

    “Anyway, you all finish up with yore meetin’; I didn’t mean to interrupt. I just wanted to tell Hills that the chicken fingers for dinner are all done heatin’ up.”

    His hand came through the enormous energies of the interdimensional rift and waved to the horde.

    “Call me!” said one of the horde as he returned to Earth.

    “God-fucking-dammit,” Hillary muttered.

    Huma hugged her fiercely. “Strength my love. Show them strength.”

    “Look at The Vessel,” Hillary said without much enthusiasm. “I shall implant her.”

    About half the horde looked at their programs and gave the reply: “She shall be implanted.”

    “Behold,” Hillary said. She dropped her robe. The horde gasped at her twisted form, a few vomited. Her pendulous breasts were covered in a suppuration of sores. Her stomach seemed in constant motion like writhing eels were about to burst forth. Meaty keloids ran down her arms and legs, the remnants of past attempts at transformation–abstract horrors the human mind forced into shapes it could comprehend: faces, fists, inhuman genitalia, half-buried burrowing insects.

    “I am woman reborn!” Hillary said, the old fire returning, and let out a plangent howl.

    “Reborn!” the ones not vomiting or fainting replied.

    Hillary squatted and let out a piggy grunt.

    “What the fuck?” one girl said.

    “Shh,” said another. “She needs to concentrate.”

    Hillary began making hooting noises, interspersed with deep grunts. Something appeared between her legs and it grew.

    “Oh, Jesus, oh, fuck,” one of the horde up front said.

    Huma brushed the hair out of Hillary’s eyes and kissed her forehead tenderly.

    With a final grunt and a scream and a gush of thick black liquid, the pseudopenis slid out, making a sizzling plop as it hit the ground.

    “BEHOLD!” Huma screamed, pointing, as Hillary struggled to stand. More vomiting and fainting.

    Hillary–standing, smiling, triumphant–spread herself apart and a clicking clatter arose. A brave few, fatally curious, stepped close enough to see that Hillary’s clitoris and vulvular hood had been replaced with a glossy yellow and black beak. Ringed in blind questing cilia, it snapped and gnashed. Huma dropped her knees, the cilia straining for her face, drawing her in, caressing. Huma began licking the beak.

    The remaining few of The Pussy Hat Horde still conscious began chanting: “BLUE WAVE! BLUE WAVE! BLUE WAVE! BLUE WAVE! BLUE WAVE!”
