Bill Thornbury, holding his cards just below his eyes, watched Jack Burton laying down his three aces. âThere, you bushwhackers, read em and weep,â Jack said as he reached for the pot.
âNot so fast,â Bill said. âI did not stay in just to sweeten the potâ With that, he lay down his cards. âJust got these itty bitty pair of sixes, and three pretty nines, for a full boat.â
Ron murmured under his breath,â Sandbagging son of a bitch!â
All six guys at the table laughed. âLets take a break for some pop corn, and a beer,â Don Johnson said as he left to round up some things in the kitchen.
The card game had been a regular event since the âBoysâ were freshman playing football for Joe Paterno at Penn State. Now graduated and settled in the Chicago area working for different companies, they had remained friends.
Bill, the only one married, had included the âBoysâ in his wedding party when he married Melissa. They were good guys that everybody liked, but rowdy as hell.
As Don returned with a round of drinks, Jack spoke up; âLet me tell you my tale of woe. That Linda that Iâm dating. Well, I tried to come on to her the other night, with the titty feeling routine. She stopped me cold when she informed me that her titties were so tender that if a guy grabs them it hurts her a ton. I got a real thing for this fem, but how to you get from A to Z when you have to bypass the mountains?â
âGo from Z to P, dumb shit,â Ron injected. âHey Bill, now that you sleep with that Baby Doll, that you somehow stole, kidnapped, drugged, or purchased, I am amazed to see you out of the bedroom. She is one sweet thing, let me tell you.â
Wanting to add to the sexy talk, Bill countered, âMelissa has an idiosyncrasy, like Lindaâs, but it puts her in bed, not out. If I rub her pussy with my leg, knee, or hand, her knees go weak. We can be having a heated discussion about something. I put my hand down there and start rubbing. Her mouth will be saying that she wants to do this or that, but I back her into the bedroom, and open those legs. Regardless of what the mouth is saying the pussy is soaking wet. She even admitted to me that she would lay down for anyone, if they rub their hand on her cunt.â
âLooks like a text book case of she needs my cock,â Don ventured. âDitto here,â Ron added. Jack drained his glass, and as he got to his feet said to Bill; âBill buddy, we gots to let you know that every guy in the room would like to jump Melissaâs bones, and would do so in a minute, if you were not in the picture.â
âHomely fucking picture it is,â Don added. âLets play some cards, fuck heads?â
âGood guys. Good friends. But keep in mind that many true words are said in jest,â passed through Billâs mind as he picked up his cards.
March 26, 2000 brought a blizzard. When Bill got home from work he looked at the garage roof, shaking his head. âMust be nine hundred pounds of wet snow up there.â He used a ladder to get up on the roof. Had it almost half cleared when he lost his footing, and fell backward. It was not a high fall, just ten feet. But his head hit first, and his neck broke with a crunch.
âWhew, nice dive asshole.â Bill stood up, and was amazed to note that he was naked, standing next to his body sprawled in the snow. âWhat to fuck, some sort of out of body experience. Holy shit, Iâll have to tell the Boys about this.â
Looking closer at his body, he noted that his eyes were open. He had only seen a dead person a couple times before. Stunned, he realized that he was, indeed, dead. Dead!?
He saw Melissa come rushing out of the house. She held his body and cried.
The âBoys.â Well, the âBoysâ were just as you would expect them to be. Like an old fashion wake, they got drunk. Don Johnson said it best. âBill is in Godâs hands now. God needs a defensive back and Bill baby is one tough mother.â They would have got him out of the coffin to sit at the card game table, if it were not for Billâs dad that sat in on the game.
Bill took stock of his situation. He was invisible. He could see his naked self. Though it was not uncomfortable, he could tell it was cold when he walked in the snow, or it was warm inside. He passed through trees, walls, or moving vehicles with ease. He would stand next to Melissa when she was on the phone and overhear both sides of the conversation.
On April 16, he was sunning himself. There had been a spring thaw. A voice said, âYou Bill Thornbury?â Bill looked up and realized that a âBeingâ was standing next to him.
âYap, that be me.â Bill looked over this âBeing.â Looked like a human, tall, with wings. Bill smiled to himself when he saw that the Being was hung with a thick cock.
âSorry to be so late getting to you. Listen up. You made Godâs good guy list, so you have it made, like forever. Heaven is a little different then you thought. You will stay on earth. Its the quality of life that is different.â
âContrary to what people think, sex is intended to be a front burner interest for you now. Men and woman on the good guy list revert to a spirit body as they were at age twenty-four. The spirits can locate, and go to, any other spirit just by thinking of them. You can have a orgasm every five minutes, as can the ladies. The âBig Guyâ takes a very dim view of all the headaches, and Iâm tired excuses, for denying sex to men among the âAlive ones.â So, a spirit woman can not deny sex to anyone. Since weight is a non-factor, you will observe a spirit woman walking along, with a spirit man hanging on to her front or rear, fucking like crazy.â
âThe âAlive onesâ are another story. If you maintain contact with an âAlive oneâ for over a minute, they will have a feeling at the spot that will cause them to rub the place. So, if you are actively fucking a woman, she will put her hand right through you to rub her pussy area since you are gently agitating the area. If she is masturbating, and comes while you are fucking her, it is, well, Heaven.â
âYou can make things move. Things like a door, curtains, papers. But only if you have very high emotion. The âAlive onesâ will, of course, never see you, when any of this is going on.â
