Mina stared at the hollow latex sheath. She gaped at the living cock and scrotum that had grown into her flesh.
Elvis’s cock.
Now hers.
Eventually she went back to bed, remembering to lower the toilet seat. She lit a cigarette and contemplated Lucy.
Deep in the depths of the Acme Warehouse, Blacklight sat on a packing crate watching Kane. Blacklight had a big bucket of cold KFC Original Recipe and a large bottle of warm Ripple. He munched and chugged thoughtfully, occasionally flinging a bone to things chittering beyond their circle of light.
“Kane, even for you that was one damn dirty trick,” he observed. In vino, veritas.
“Save me a slug of that Ripple,” Kane said. “This is dusty work.”
Kane emerged from a broken packing crate. He studied the label on the plastic bag: One Acme Action Dildo. Jim Morrison Model. Electrify Your Friends!
He tossed the package to Blacklight. “Hang onto this. Should prove useful.
“And anyway. Mina Rush needs a deeper voice if she’s ever going to make it big, and the King will give her a lot of soul. If there’s a problem, I’ve got a knife. Snick, snack, and Bob’s your uncle. All is set right.”
Blacklight handed the bottle to Kane. “You really think we’re going to find the Janis Joplin artifact down here?”
“For sure. Probably right there in that crate you’re sitting on.”
“Are you really a jillion years old?” Blacklight retrieved the Ripple and washed down a couple reds. He moved off the crate.
“And I owe it all to clean living.” Kane ripped off the lid of the packing crate with one hand, sending nails and wood chunks flying.
“Well,” persisted Blacklight, digesting reds and KFC, “it seems like a dirty trick for a man of your mature years. What’s Mina Rush gonna do when she finds out she’s a father?”
Kane had dug out a series of flat packages was examining them with considerable enthusiasm. “Got it! British production. Hence the confusing label of ‘fanny.’ I know just the dude to lay this one on.”
He finished the Ripple and turned pensive. “Blacklight. If there’s one lesson you can learn in a jillion years, it’s this: You can’t always get what you need. But if you don’t watch out, you just might get what you want.”
