Chapter Eight (Part Three) Trip doesn’t like Blanche any better than she had the first time she laid eyes on the whore. Blanche isn’t nearly as beautiful up close as she appears on stage because her pores are bigger, her lips are slightly too narrow, her nose a hair too long, and her eyes too… Continue Reading
Trip on This: Chapter Eight (Part Two)
Chapter Eight (Part Two) “I feel pretty, oh so pretty,” Vandalia is singing as I enter the apartment. “Why, hello, Trip! Isn’t this a glorious day?” She smiles at me in the manner of one who’s just been thoroughly fucked. “Who would have thought young Greeley would have had it in him?” She giggles as… Continue Reading
Trip on This: Chapter Eight (Part One)
The morning comes too quickly for Trip’s taste. She spent a good hour after returning from the Tenderloin watching infomercials to clear her mind. She hates returning to her stamping grounds because it makes her feel as if she’s only one step away from where she’s trying so hard to leave. This morning, her head… Continue Reading
Trip on This: Chapter Seven (Part Five)
Chapter Seven (Part Five) “Hey, girls,” I say, pulling Mowgli’s blazer closer to my body. It’s not “What are you doing here,” Snow asks belligerently, sticking out her chin. “Fucking bitch thinks she can just come here and get up in our grill.” Some of the newer hookers look puzzled, but most of the older… Continue Reading
Trip on This: Chapter Seven (Part Four)
Chapter Seven (Part Four) “How much for your bitch?” Frat boy number one suddenly appears, leering down at Trip, but talking to Mowgli. “I ain’t never had yellow pussy before.” His buddies are sniggering as they watch the show. Trip narrows her eyes, but allows Mowgli to respond. “You can’t afford her,” he says without… Continue Reading
Trip on This: Chapter Seven (Part Three)
Chapter Seven (Part Three) I’m bored. Even though I like women, there is nothing sexy about Ebony’s movement. I can tell by the glazed look in her eyes that she’s on something and feeling very little pain. She’s moving her ass mechanically, the same way she’s probably moved it a hundred times before. Whereas Blanche… Continue Reading
Trip on This: Chapter Seven (Part Two)
Chapter Seven (Part Two) I’m not at all sure about this Greeley boy. He’s nice enough, but he’s got a touch of the Midwest about him. Stolid, trustworthy, not the quickest guy out of the blocks. He’s also much too innocent for the kind of games I am being forced to play. I don’t know… Continue Reading
Trip on This: Chapter Seven (Part One)
Chapter Seven (Part One) “We’re doing what?” Mowgli stares at Trip, wondering if his ears are deceiving him. This is not how he envisioned spending his night—talking to Trip about strip clubs in Vandalia’s living room. “Going to The Roman Empire,” Trip says. “Me, you, Vandalia and her consort. I have to find out more… Continue Reading
Trip on This: Chapter Six (Part Two)
Chapter Six (Part Two) I stride to my car and drive to O’Reilly’s building, killing the engine once I have the building in sight. I haven’t really planned what I’m going to do, but it doesn’t worry me. My slate is cleared until I figure out what the hell is going on here, and I… Continue Reading
Trip on This: Chapter Six (Part One)
Chapter Six (Part One) “Rise and shine, and give God the glory, glory!” Trip jerks up in her bed, unsure that she heard what she thinks she heard. There is total silence, then she hears it again. “Rise and shine, and give God the glory, glory.” Someone is fucking singing somewhere in her apartment. Still… Continue Reading
