PART SEVEN
Dirk Davie's ex-wife had changed a lot in six months. Her hair was cut short and bleached an off pink color. Each ear sported a dozen rings. Behind Judy, a large angry woman stood in the doorway glowering at Dirk.
"Nice jewelry," Dirk said.
"Oh there's lots more other places," Judy smirked.
"And you ain't going to see any of it," Judy's angry friend snarled.
"DuBoise," Judy said pointing at her friend. "Dirk," she said pointing at Dirk.
DuBoise continued to glare at him. Her arms were crossed defiantly over her large unrestrained breasts that stretched the fabric of her Harley Davidson T-shirt. Over her shoulder Dirk saw an old Ford pick up backed up to the door. The front lawn was chewed up by its huge off road tires. Motorcycle parts littered the truck bed. The bumper sticker read 'Fuck You!'. Dirk backed away from the door and let them in.
He tried to stay out of their way as they collected Judy's stuff.
"You write this shit?" DuBoise asked looking at the bookshelf. She picked out 'Lizard Lagoon' and leafed through it. It was the first of 'The 'Reptilian Series'. He thought it was his best work. DuBoise read out loud.
"I like men," the tall female with purple eyes said.
Her high leather boots stopped just above the knees. Her red tongue slithered in and out of her mouth, as she looked me over.
She was a carnivore through and through. The type that ate her mate as soon as he'd done the deed.
I took a step back and felt the hard volcanic rock cut into my shoulder.
"Ever had an Elon?" she asked.
I shook my head no!
"Well I've had plenty of men like you," she said moving closer.
Her red nails flashed in the sunlight. As she smiled, green drool clung to the corner of her mouth. As she started to turn I dropped flat in the Elonian dust. Her huge scaly tail sailed over my head and hit the cliff face throwing her off balance.
Before she could recover I was up and running. I heard her raspy reptilian breath snorting, hot on my heels.
"This is shit," DuBoise snorted. She turned the book over to look at the back cover expecting no doubt to be shocked by images of reptilian coupling. Dirk noticed her jail house tattoo. Two kittens licking each other.
Dirk shrugged. "It's a living. What do you do?"
"Anything I want."
"Glad to see you two are getting along," Judy said lugging a garbage bag of clothes down from the bedroom.
"Yah we're being real civilized," DuBoise snorted.
"Practically best friends," Dirk said.
When they left, Dirk watched DuBoise cut across the lawn on a fresh patch of grass. She gunned the motor and threw pieces of dry sod and dirt against the front of the building. As she hit the road she stuck her arm out the window and shot Dirk the finger.
As he stepped away from the window, Dirk felt a sharp pain in his right temple and imagined it to be a burst blood vessel. The onset of a stroke that would leave him paralyzed for the remainder of his miserable life-or reduce him to a semi-vegetable state. He saw himself walking the streets with a shopping cart, mumbling to himself, one side of his face permanently drooling saliva.
