CH 1 QUEEN OF THE DESERT



"There ain't no such a thing as a writer’s block.  When you find that the words don’t come out correctly, then you stopped digging deep.  Ask yourself this:  Why?  Are you afraid of the dark?  You might have to grab up that ole shovel and head off to the boneyard with lantern in hand."  ---Sinister Minister Glinty McFlintlock ca. 1889.








Huh. 







How about that.









Epilogue  by Crosses   










We continue from here my friend.














The desert cabin burst apart from the lightning strike and we damned punks got tossed into the dirt from the shockwave.


That angry punk rocker rolled over and he was pissed off and naked.  These are two things that when combined are never pretty to see.

(Unless that is your thing.  No judgment here on you my friend.)




Me?


I had chust seen Katheena sitting with that Glinty dude atop his horse-drawn carriage and all time stopped for me.


I lied in the dust and fiery splintered boards rained down upon us all.



The sky above was black.




I must have taken a bump to the noggin, for I could see the stars above.  Some of them glowed, some winked into existence and then blinked out, and others whirled along the outer fingers of the Milky Way Galaxy.   


Our own tiny blue marble is located on the end of one of these tendrils, you know. 


We may never impact another solar system.

We probably won’t.


If we are indeed left alone like this, then all we have is each other.



Well I tell you my friend, my own star was now riding a black hearse drawn by a huge horse named Mayhem.  His mane burned with blue flame, and I felt betrayed.


Katheena was my star; only for me.



In my dizzy state of mind from the cabin-blast wake-up knock-down, I saw her kneeling down in a short, tight, lime-green skirt looking for her keys under her car from back in the day when I had first betryed her trust.




My betrayal to her had not stopped there, no.



I had shown her the evil of cocaine.





Rrrrrghhhhh   



It's hard to tell about this.













THE


QUEEN


OF


THE


DESERT














The mighty Massive Attack with silky Hope Sandoval put up on YT by the lovely DamselBoo











It went much more than an introduction to desert dust.


It went much, much further than that.








We brought the older Purple Mansion down in a baptism of desert rain and fire.  But that ancient hotel had become their meeting place:  a place to hold parties for the very wealthy of Fuckno, as well as to hold meetings of them Purple Robes.  It had a water tower on top of it from the old cowboy days, and that helped us to baptize the old motherfucker.






While that old Purple Mansion drowned and caught fire, Katheena saw us damned punks speed by with expensive, stolen vehicles and others in pursuit.  She met her demise when she pulled out of the side street and raced after us.








Lion Man drove her to the Hospital as her life ebbed.







Do you see?


I should have driven her.


She might have lived.


 It’s what I thought all along but never admitted it until now.


It was because of me that she died.



I had killed my Star.










Let us now attend to another fellow who left his own Lady behind, cool with you?











GREGOR











He awoke in a burning body and could not find his woman, his Lady, his wife.

He was Gregor, the High Priest of them Purple Robes.


He had abandoned her in the ugly part of the city, but he did not know this just yet.  He’d thought he’d been following her away from the asshole of Fuckno.





Gregor walked-in to a fading spark and could not open his eyes.  They were melted shut.  He found himself inside the body of the young woman who had started the fire in the servants’ quarters.




He screamed from the pain of being on fire and inhaled flame from the exploding aerosol cans.  His new body burned from the inhalation of fire and from the pool of kerosene all about the floor beneath him in that hellhole of a supply closet.


He had made a Really Bad Decision to enter such a fading spark.  This would stick with him after the burning stopped and he died, yet again, and then could move on to another spark of an unconscious person.



The path of the Walk-In is not one you should wish to follow.



You see, you can leave your wife behind in the dark.








S V E N










The original cannibal; the one who had infected them Walk-Ins with his hunger for depravity, torture, and human flesh, well, he was dragged out of the burning mansion by those who thought him to be the Son of the High Priest.



In the rear courtyard, he coughed out aerosol smoke and vomited.


The security man, (also a Purple Robe) asked him, “Sir!  Are you OK?”



Sven nodded and wiped his mouth.  He coughed and looked up into the young man’s face, in the bright light of the rising sun.


Sven said, “I haven’t felt better in ages.”




He knew that he did not have much time,  but he did not figure one single thing into his math, as smart as he was.


It was this:

He was now in control of them Purple Robes.  He was the new boss of the empire, by default.



All that he knew was his hunger.




Now listen.



We will go back to meeting Katheena in the desert at the lowest, darkest part of this tale: 


...next time.





Damn.








…..rrrrrrrrrggghhhhhrrrrr…








God Help You.


God Help me, too.


---willies out.




rrrrghhhhhhrrrr
