Katheena hugged
me, and even though I knew she was a ghost, her body felt quite hot and curvy
on the bottom part.
A certain
consideration arose and it made a strong point.
Yeah, that was
fucked up.
Hey, I could feel
her body under the cloak she wore, and it reminded me of when we’d been
together, and how she’d…
Katheena said,
“Will! What the hell do you
think you’re doing?”
I said, “It ain’t
thinking here.”
She pushed me
away, but she had her goofy, honest grin back.
I composed
myself.
Katheena pointed
at them bastard punks and said, “Two of those guys are butt-naked over there.”
I looked at
Tellesco pulling the angry punk rocker from the utility vehicle.
I said, “Yeah,
they been fist-fighting each other.”
She said, “That
is one fucking odd way to fight. What
you boys been doing out here in the desert dunes anyways?”
I said,
“Digging.”
Katheena shook
her head and looked up into my eyes. She
said, “That really makes it sound bad, Will.”
I would have to
agree.
But,
I was just a
little bit taken aback by her.
Again…
Hey, don’t look
at me that way. I didn’t
write this: the story has.
She said, “I need
my ride and that fat punk rocker needs his as well.” She was talking about her lovely gold
Firebird with the huge black decal on the hood that she’d named Orion. http://williesthestories.blogspot.com/2011/09/katheena-truth.html
I had re-named it Phoenix , you know.
I said, “Them
cars? They both dead! One been drowned in a swimming pool
and the other drowned in the desert,
…like you have
been.”
Damn.
She said, “Don’t
you need your own car?”
I felt weak in
the knees.
Matilda?
None of this was
possible. There would be
way too much work involved in reclaiming all of those vehicles. There was no time. War Done Begun, according to The
Glinty’s odd vernacular.
I said,
“Katheena, we ain’t got time to get them autos.”
She said,
“Will. You listen here
now. You never just charge
ahead. You will fail if you
just run in to a fight, no matter how strong you feel at the moment. You need your arms if you want to
swim.”
I said, “We got
to get that huge angry guy tied up first! We can’t just tell him we sorry for
burying him in the desert! I
already told him I was sorry for killing his fucking hearse. He didn’t like that at all.”
She said, “I’ll
go talk to him.”
You know,
Katheena could enter a party, charm each person there, and then she would leave
with all the cool people.
I climbed down
from the top of Glinty’s hearse wagon using the old iron hand rails and then I
waited for her to come down. I
would help her, guide her with my hands on her voluptuous back side…
I stepped down
and looked up. But she
didn’t come down them rails.
She was gone.
I looked over at
Mayhem and he was eyeing me. He
just snorted and swung his huge head at the utility truck. He nodded at it.
I looked over at
them young men by the utility truck and saw Katheena stalking towards them.
I felt
cheated. I know,
ghost-butt in my hands? Jeez.
I ran to catch up
to her. I didn’t want to be
left behind.
What the hell was
she gonna do? Maybe she had
something in mind.
Them boys didn’t
see her (they couldn’t,
yet…) but that angry punk rocker sure did. He quit wriggling against all them
boys holding him down in the desert dust and looked up beyond them.
He saw her.
Well fuck all,
mistah man, she went right on over there and them boys didn’t care a
whip. They saw me coming
and just turned back to that Fat Jerry when they felt him give up his
resolve. He must have
started quivering. So they
and held him down even harder.
Then they saw his
face. He was frightened.
They looked back
at me. Was I scaring him?
I caught up to
Katheena and she looked down at him.
She said, “Look
at you lying there in the desert dust, all swaddled up like a big baby. You make a woman want to cuddle
you! How old are you, you
snuggly thing?”
Them young men
released their hold and sat back in astonishment when they heard Fat Jerry say,
“Awww. It’s been a while since
someone babied me. I’m a
thousand years old, nice momma.”
What the hell was
going on?
Oh yeah, I
remembered. Fat Jerry could
turn on a dime.
Evidently, lovely
Katheena knew how to spin a dime.

OK, Some More For
Ya:
These are
spoilers, so don't read.
The shack had
once been somebody’s home.
Now it looked to be the sort of place where someone might have planted bodies in the dry desert dust, never hoping for them to rise, to be sown, or seen, again.

Glinty’s cabin
was built atop a mass grave, as a testament, a monument in the desert.
There were tools
inside the horse-stable that did not make much sense to anyone out here, but
they were very important.
Katheena said,
“you need to bring out the screw-top from your pocket. From the broken latch.”
Always remember:
This is about the
Power in the whole valley. In
this earlier chapter, Katheena’s ghost woke Joey up with a scream in his
ear. He was lying next to
Patrick Till-Bury, and who was one of them Purple Robes.
You see, Patrick
Till-Bury was an insider, loyal to them Purple Robes. Would he convert?
Don’t forget
about Sherry, who followed Kenny.
Don’t forget the
little ghost girl, and don’t forget about Lorelei.
