    “Jesus Christ Almighty,” Suck said, agawk and fanning his own foul fumes, “I can’t take no more of this crazy shit.”
    Piggy Poop opened her eyes. She thought she could feel her lips forming a smile.
Crazy shit
had always been her thing. Her forte, her
raison d’être
. (Funny she could remember a French phrase but couldn’t remember being anybody other than Piggy Poop. Though she was sure she’d had another name. A real name. Oh well.
Piggy Poop
would do as her
nom de guerre
. Huh?
Merde!
There was another one. Maybe she was French?)
    Before she could get up, the guy with the log-turned-cudgel said, “I’m gonna fuck this gimpy bitch sideways” and walloped her again.
    Then the dead man in the blanket sat up and eyeballed his former companions with gimlet eyes and a crooked mouth. The gaping wound in his cheek looked like a second mouth, toothless, raw gums shining wetly in the moonlight.

Incident At Mo’ Tail Motel
    “… also said they are looking for a very tall man in a red hooded sweatshirt. Officials would neither confirm nor deny the possibility of related terrorist acts, saying only that the hooded man is at this time a ‘person of interest’ in some of these incidents.”
    “Turn that down, dammit,” said Jamie, standing naked at the window and peeping through the curtains as she smoked a Virginia Slim. “I can’t hear what they’re saying.”
    “Don’t let them see you naked,” Thomas cautioned her as he decreased the volume with the remote.
    “Why would they give a shit? I’m not breaking any law here. They don’t arrest people for adultery. Hell, they’d probably appreciate a peek at my goodies. I do look pretty damn good, ya know.”
    The only light in the room flickered from the TV screen. Outside, flashing blue light from two cop cruisers lapped at the room’s windows as if it wanted in.
    “According to the news, weird things are happening all across the border and on into the interior,” he said from the bed. “Reports of the rapid spread of an unknown disease, unexplained outbreaks of violence. A health official said the disease appears to mimic death, in some cases.”
    “You heard all that while I was in the bathroom? Jeez.” She reached back and swiped her fingers between her ass cheeks. “And I’ve

    A scream came through the wall from the room next door. A muffled shout, then two loud gunshots.
    “Holy shit!” Jamie said. Then she doubled over, clutching her belly.
    Thomas jumped out of bed. “What? Are you shot?”
    She shook her head. Gasped: “Cramps. Bad ones.”
    As if a switch had been flipped, she started shivering. Her teeth chattered. Thomas wrapped his arms around her and pressed his nakedness against hers to warm her. “Back to bed and cover up. Whatever you’re coming down with, it sure came on fast. It couldn’t be any sort of toxic shock, could it? From what we did? The anal thing?”
    “No, you idiot,” she chattered. “I’ll be fine.
You

    “We should get out of here. A bullet could come through the wall.”
    “I can’t, not yet. After these shakes stop maybe. Aspirin. In my bag. Glass of water.”
