I Met Someone Unexpected

I got really sick suddenly the other day. [I say the other day, but it could have easily been hours ago.] I told Miss Silky I wanted to go out back for a bit. She asked me why, and I told her I just wanted to. She had one of her shark girls [personal bodyguards] escort me out there. When I got there, I almost immediately threw up.

Honestly, I felt like this was a long time coming. I could always see me standing out in the back of the Railroad Club. A feeling of loneliness was always present when I thought of myself there. Even as I chucked up, I momentarily forgot about all the friends around me. I felt like shit.

When I lifted my head, I suddenly realized that the shark girl was gone. I really was alone. The world back there seemed fuzzy and confusing. I thought maybe I was drifting into another place. Was I leaving Scritch City? Was this the end? But no, I was still there. I had not left... yet.

But from around the eastern corner of the club, a saw a beautiful feminine dragon. She was black-scaled with red markings and was dressed for the chilly night. I felt kind of like an idiot. There I was standing almost in a pool of my own sick, and she could see me in my wretched state.

"I'm fine!" I called to her. "Just go back into the club!"

A moment later, she was standing right in front of me. I felt like I lost time. A minute perhaps. It was hard to tell. But she stood there and held me by my chin. I looked into her eyes, and she into mine. The look was predatory. She wanted to eat me... or something. I don't know. I didn't have a bodyguard so... I guess that was one way it could have gone.

"Buddy," she said.

"That's me," I replied nervously.

"I know who you are. I know where you come from. I can see your true identity. I can see your friends. I can hear the voices. You have no secrets at all from me."

I just stared at her with wide eyes. I had no idea what she was talking about. She acted as if she heard my thoughts and then went on, "You are in control, Buddy. You are the avatar of God. The one you side with will gain your power. And those who you turn against will pass on to oblivion."

I drooled a little. I was so stunned by what she was telling me that I felt like I was just going to fall limp to the ground. But somehow, by her simply holding my chin, I was able to stand. I don't know how I did it, but I managed to ask, "Who do I side with?"

The beautiful dragoness leaned forward and pressed her lips to my ear. She whispered the name of the one that I should favor and then gave my cheek a lick. After that, I remember nothing until I woke up back in my bed. Miss Silky was running her hand through my hair. I got up and sat down at my computer to write this very blog. I have nothing more to say... for now.
