Formerly a story only to be told (see legend of Sequojah attempting to bridge cultural gaps between east coast indigenous tribes and settler culture) but unfortunately another bored butt boy and his loose goose in HCCC who has hopefully been beaten to death…had to bust through because they weren’t invited so here is the first part…

Once upon a time there was a vegetarian,
female bodied girl in secondary,
she was talking to her friends after class,
she decided to take a different way…
And carried her leather saddlebag bag
up the school walkway…
***
“WHITE WASHING”
After class she is jumped and they shove snow down her tights…
***
When she, the girl,
nearly got to the top of the Ochill Hills, during one autumn afternoon…
she decided to rest and laid her yellow bicycle to the ground….
She hears wind chimes and sees mist coming out of the
forest that runs parallel to the trail…
She follows the mist to a bathtub steaming in the
middle of the day?
Why would someone be in the woods
taking a bath?
She creeps towards the edge of the clawfoot tub when a hand reaches out of the water and mist, grabs her school uniform tie and pulls her into the bathtub…
There was no bottom to this bathtub, the two of them, as in the girl and the red headed monster with ginger dreadlocks dived into an underwater cavern and then the surface appeared.
They took a breath and realized they had surfaced in
the back of a normal suburban home pool surprise party at 521 SE 13th Court, Deerfield Beach Florida 33441, (a former montessori school turned into private daycare center named Little Angel’s Childcare aka The House from Hell)
where a girl was receiving her first kiss
after a dare…
then they took another breath,
came to the surface and were
somewhere out in the Pacific Ocean
outside of the Kingdom of Hawai’i.
They see the shore and swim there
nearly drowning in pursuit of the sand.
When they landed they started communicating
Telepathically using extra sensory perception
because one girl was a normal human girl (or was she?)
and the other is a waterborne
monster with her lips sewn shut…
After a few moments they shapeshifted
into bats,
one a fruit bat
and the other a vampire bat…
They begin to travel…time travel…
******
There’s a man standing on the edge of the island
with binoculars,
whale watching,
he sees what he thinks are two ladies swimming to shore…
he thinks to himself,
“Well, I’d like to join them…wouldn’t I?” (totes chuffed bout it)
And in a flash he vaporizes and appears as the
third omnivore bat
about to introduce himself
when he awkwardly says,
“hang on I already the know the lesson,
its…”
( PLEASE READ RACHEL CARSON’S, SILENT SPRING )
in another moment all three teleport to
F L O R I D A
And shapeshift into
three dead fish
(“dani dettori” “edgar ibanez” “kevin hox” & “joaquin galarza”)
The fush (kiwi accent*) had died from the “red tide” pollution
7 Things to Know about South Florida’s Water)
in the sea, well the
Atlantic ocean technically…
In another flash they’re “alive/reincarnated/shapeshifted”
again as bats overhearing
a conversation at a cigar shop in Daytona Beach, Florida…
home of Aileen Wournos.
…
And seeing with the fruit bats eyes a farm…

Once upon a time there was a red headed monster
who was CONDEMNED to a bathtub
(this ain’t no moaning myrtle)
— a witch put her there —
Because the red headed monster
was once a fair maiden
who seduced
the witches lover
using glamour magick
She had come to meet the witch
by way of a
volunteer program called WWOOF
an acronym that means
“ Willing Workers On Organic Farms “
“An educational reform volunteer program meant for everyday citizens.”
(Originally called “Working Weekends on Organic Farms”, WWOOF came into being in England, in Autumn 1971, when Sue Coppard, a secretary living and working in London, recognised the need for people like herself, who did not have the means or the opportunity, to access the countryside and support the organic movement.)
