My snickering flatmateJulia there was once a boy called Harvey who broke into one of Evelyn'sproperties, she changed him after doing it with him." Boy..." Sharon looked puzzled.I explained how Harvey was fifteen when Evelyn got him but for the lifeof me, couldn't explain it properly, Sharon barely let me talk, as thougheverything was getting to her again."And she's what forty now?" Sharon referred to Julia's apparent age.I told her Julia's in her early thirties and has been since she arrived,that. Cheap sensational exploitation stuff, that's what they're printing about me!"Her face went red at the very shame of it all and she sank back on the ground, the picture of hopelessness. She wriggled her toes and shivered at the thought of her feet being beaten on the soles. The Bastinado, they called it. The very thought made her flesh creep! She wondered how painful it was and prayed that she wouldn't find out!Half an hour after the Consul had left, the Police Woman came out into the yard with. Katie was excited to come to work more so than she was when she worked at the Bank of America. She would sit at her desk and enter sperm counts of countless men. The higher the sperm count the shorter her breaths would become at the thought of how much could be emptied into her mouth or on her face. She found herself imagining how some of the samples would taste. Would they taste like her husband? Would the consistency be different? She suddenly regretted not tasting more of Joel’s hot load. I quickly went into the bathroomand fixed my makeup; a bit more blush and powder and another coat oflipstick. I sprayed more perfume on my neck and another quick sprayunder my skirt and then went out and adjusted the lights so that theroom was dim. As I poured myself a glass of wine my phone rang. Thecall originated from the same number that had called my in the car."Room eleven ok?" I murmured into the handset."See you soon," Robby answered and broke the connection.There was a soft knocking.
