Second and concluding part.
No graphic sex. Reading the first part would provide a basis for greater understanding. This second part, however, possibly will stand alone. To be sure, I am guilty of fascination with words and frequently choosing archaic constructions. To the half dozen who possibly will read and enjoy my humble effort, I extend my appreciation for their time. The characters herein portrayed are works of fiction and any resemblance to persons alive or dead is purely coincidental.

Aunt Maggie could always "do whatever is necessary."
Postmodern cultures of the western hemisphere had fragmented as militant women arose marching in lock-step with select minorities. Chaos had ruled as advocates for "Americanism" had hesitated when initially challenged.
Always sensing change in advance of the curve, Aunt Maggie had observed, prepared and seized the moment. Opportunism governed her powerful nature.
There is genius in knowing who, what and where you are. Aunt Maggie had parlayed banking her earnings for four months in a Pahrump, Nevada, brothel into a powerful fortune. Manufacturing had served as her vehicle.
Manufacturing Orgasms, LLC, now competes with the information technology giants on the stock markets.
"When Rome is burning," Aunt Maggie said in the conclusion of her keynote speech at a Wall Street awards ceremony in Las Vegas, "I cornered the market in selling illusion about pussy."
That's my Aunt Maggie. She is 97.5 per cent avenging Angel and a bigger than life practitioner of the erotic arts. When the Revolution of American Sluts, LLC, attained a foothold and threatened civilization, Aunt Maggie bought a controlling interest in the best brothels in Nevada.
Whores with true integrity of the ages, she advised, by their very nature support "freedom" initiatives and respect constructive individual differences. "Happy Health for all who earn comfort" was Aunt Maggie's brothel slogan.
"Respectable conservative whores always must survive Mother Nature's predatory politics," Aunt Maggie told CNN. "When all the hysterical sound and fury calms, we will still be standing in Washington as the only reliable mentors."
This time, however, she was fashioning a stairway out of a collapsing paradise as the Pacific Rim's pleasure paradise sank into subjective oblivion.
Even those of us who would fight to the finish to avoid being wimps, cowards or cuckolds can't stand alone in the 21
st
Century. Being strong, effective and dedicated to "freedom and justice for all" will just get your fundament abused if you don't have an Aunt Aggie as your avenging angel.
Well! To be sure, Aunt Aggie was our latter day General Patton, Athena and Aphrodite rolled into one.
To set the dictates of this story, I must tell you that my wife had assumed the identity of personal demon from hell as well as my professional nemesis.
Vernon, a nuclear terror of a lawyer in the quest for Zeus' power, had won fame in the emerging sport sex competitions. I, too, had laughed dismissively when I first learned of the brutal underground tournaments.
"Preposterous! Gangbang Olympics in abandoned warehouses?" I had snorted. "And they want me to believe the grand champ banks $200,000?"
There! We have introduced my loving wife, Vernon, fulfilling a literary requirement. I kid you not, my wife had earned the highest accolade as a sexual dynamo who wears the Champion's Belt in The Gangbang Olympics.
Testing my observer's credulity from the outset, I must announce that my wife just won the $250,000 grand prize in the annual Underground Slut's Rodeo somewhere in the desert of Nevada. I was not an admirer and certainly no subscriber.
When questioned, Vernon took the fifth. Shrugging diffidently she casually denied she was covertly recognized as a world renowned slut.
"Don't go viral," her best friend answered when asked. "It's just an avocation that pushes the envelope a little."
I was not sure what that meant, but I have learned from reliable witnesses that Vernon had no equal as a sport sex competitor. She was the "indisputable champ," or more precisely the most deluded tramp.
Vernon had placed five 20-pound gold trophies on our mantle worth $1800 an ounce. Her Gangbang Super Bowl ring and belt buckle were worth $50,000. Anyone could check the daily cost of gold by the ounce.
What about her threat to me professionally? As a lawyer with no equal in brilliant and corrupt practices, she was leading the onslaught to steal the billion-dollar private foundation of which I am the chief executive officer.
****OF TIJUANA AND THE BAJA...perhaps my "Fail Safe" option****
Then there's Aunt Maggie. If interested in knowing Aunt Maggie, one needed the fine perception to know when the prosaic ends and the poetic begins. It always helped if you knew that poetic did not mean pretty and surreal.
My magnificent spirit of Eve incarnate, my Aunt Maggie, could apprehend and intuit: ... ... ...PRIMAL SCREAMS OF NIHILISTS FROM THE GOLDEN GATE'S GIRDER 13 TO THE BAJA ... ... ...
... ... ...Or blind poets playing Mozart's Requiem in Golden Gate Park at Evensong... ... ...
... ... ...Or perhaps the wooden facades and beaded black eyes of Medusas directing the deconstruction of the American constitutional republic from the Marin shores of San Francisco Bay... ... ...
In the face of almost certain political, social and economic upheaval along The Pacific Rim, my Aunt Maggie once more was exercising her Midas touch. In so doing, the magnificent exemplar of feminine beauty had included me and my assistant in her "Fail Safe" strategies.
We were touring Aunt Aggie's new palatial headquarters overlooking the blue Pacific in The Baja when I received word. My associates alerted me that my wife had launched a surprise attack to seize The Foundation.
During my three-day tour of Tijuana and The Baja, however, my perspectives of my world had changed. Opportunity beckoned, though the specter of a human catastrophe also plagued my unconscious.
For all the potential for getting rich quick, Tijuana posed shadowy risks once associated with Casablanca or Algiers.
It was true that a paradox called NAFTA (a treaty that jeopardized North Americans) had built an economic marvel on the Mexican side of the border. It was based on business model called The Maquiladoras.
But it was also true that the prosperity had drawn several hundred thousand souls without baggage or skills. Leaders of the region faced a ticking time bomb of festering humanity.
At least a dozen global corporations had staffed impressive buildings in Tijuana. Assuredly, I had gained useful knowledge of this strange and magnetic metropolis, but the pregnant question of my relevance was hanging fire.
Never beg a question of fate. This had served as my rudder. But my tormenting question would not lower its volume.
I would forever ask myself, "How could I have known that this quick 'fact finding' flight to The Baja, arranged by my beautiful Aunt Maggie, very soon would become my salvation?"
So, too, had I found that my Maggie, my mother's youngest sister, had qualified unquestionably as my ideal woman. No! I'm not into incest. I suppose I should qualify that disclaimer. Let's say I could be persuaded if "Americanism" dies a death of horror.
Always, from my earliest memories, I had loved Aunt Maggie dearly; but, after this sojourn in Tijuana and The Baja, I would consider the unthinkable.
Only an awkward fantasy was this illusory attachment to a woman eight years older, $199, 999,000 richer and 50 IQ points smarter. As she had since I was runny nosed terror of a kid, Aunt Maggie adored me and never ceased to "look out" for me.
We were in the process of leaving Tijuana to cross the border to return to San Diego. Our collective sense of survival flashed as a mob of "citizens of the world" surrounded Maggie's Town Car. Our driver stopped. We began to rock violently.
"Who are they and what do they want?" Grace asked Aunt Maggie.
"They are the vanguard of American Haters International," Maggie answered with calm and resignation written on her face. "And they want everything."
Maggie had earned her spurs in this insidious sociopolitical game. Her quartet of cultural historians had described the comprehensive assault on Western Civilization as cultural genocide, "Erase Americanism and disembowel Americans."
"They want my money and property!" she said almost in distraction. "And they'll take your beautiful ass if they get the chance."
Ever the serious joker, Maggie taunted Grace.
"What about your beautiful ass?" Grace responded with a hoot, refusing to be serious.
"They've had my ass many times, my dear," Maggie answered. Aunt Maggie can play the game with critical statistical distribution. One never knew when she "gave her ass" in metaphorical time and when she possibly had pulled a train. Knowing anything with certainty about Aunt Maggie seemed impossible.
I was relieved when Grace did not pose the logical follow-up question. I did not want to know how Aunt Maggie's ass was used. Maggie had served as my prototypical sex object from the beginning of my pubertal curiosity. I was smart enough never to wish for more than fantasies.
