"Go out with YOU? Are you crazy? I wouldn't go out with you if you were the last creature -- and I do mean creature -- on the face of the Earth! Get a life, loser!" With that, Gloria Van Arsdale turned on her heel and strutted off. Harold watched as her pert blond ponytail and sweatpants-clad butt wiggled down the quad and out of his sight.
"So much for the old 'the worst she could say is no' theory," Harold thought dejectedly to himself, as he hung his head and made his way back to his grad-student office in the basement of the Physics Building.
Harold's buddy Deepak was waiting for him there. "Why the long face, dude?" Deepak asked.
"I'm lonely. And by lonely, I mean horny! I need a girlfriend," said Harold.
"And by girlfriend, you mean a blowjob," Deepak corrected him. "I feel your pain. I'm on a major league dry spell myself, dude."
Harold sat down and buried his face in his hands. "I'm striking out all over the place, Dee. I know I'm a geek, but aren't there women someplace who are into geeks? I'm sure I heard that there were, like on Jerry Springer or something. You know, some sort of geek freaks. There has to be!"
"I'm afraid not, my man. But, today is your lucky day. I learned something very interesting in my Alchemy class today."
"You're taking an Alchemy class? They teach that here at the University?" Harold was rather dubious. The University, where he and Deepak were enrolled, offered a wide variety of classes, but they tended to stick to reputable sciences and technologies.
"No, no, not here at the University. I'm taking it down at the community center."
Harold rolled his eyes. Deepak, with an undeclared major and a taste for the bizarre, was far more interested in alternative sciences than Harold the hard-nosed physics major could ever be.
"Dude, listen to this. Ancient alchemists used to make their own people. Their own people, man! We can make our own girlfriend, dude, how cool would that be? They're called Homunculi. We could make one, a chick, and it'll be our girlfriend!" Deepak crossed his arms and looked pleased with himself.
Harold rolled his eyes, but humored him. "Okay, and how do we make this Homunculi, then?"
"Homunculus. One of them is called a Homunculus. A bunch of them are Homunculi. Here's the recipe. I wrote it down." He scrounged in his backpack and pulled out some notes. "You start with fluid of sputum, egg white, dew, and some human blood and semen."
"Ewww."
"Shut up. Next, you mix it with arcanum of human blood and animal tincture...."
"Whatever the fuck those are."
"...and you seal them all in a jar. Then you bury it in a pile of horse manure, for five weeks, starting on the first full moon in March. At the end of the five weeks, voila, you have your little Homunculus. They're only about two feet high. Depending on the size of the jar, I imagine."
"You're crazy."
"Yeah, and you're horny. And so am I! I say we do it. What have we got to lose?"
"Our minds? Okay, okay. What the fuck. I'll try anything once."
Harold had no doubt that Deepak was crazy, and his scheme didn't have a chance in hell of working. But he was horny, and had no better ideas, so he decided to go along, if only for the amusement factor. Harold and Deepak made themselves a list and set about collecting the necessary ingredients for their homunculus. They decided that "fluid of sputum" was just ordinary spit, and could be supplied at the time of assembly. Egg white and dew were easy to acquire. Semen was not a problem; they each had more than enough saved up! But neither of them was particularly eager to open a vein for the necessary blood, and they had no idea what an arcanum was, either. Animal tincture, likewise, was problematic.
"Okay, Dee, I've got a question. How do we guarantee that it will be a chick? And how do we make sure that it will be horny? Or that it will even like us?"
"Well, maybe we should use female blood. And instead of animal tincture, we'll use some of our own hair and fingernail clippings. That way, it'll be in its genes to like us, so to speak."
"Female blood. Right. We can't even get a chick to give us her phone number, man. How are we gonna get one to hand us a pint of blood?"
"You just leave that to me. I'll meet you back here in the lab tomorrow after class, and we'll light this candle."
Harold spent a restless night in bed back at his apartment, fantasizing about the female homunculus that they were trying to create. Would she be pretty? Would she give good head? Would she have her own birth control? Oh, who was he kidding. This didn't have a chance in hell of working in the first place! He eventually drifted off to a fitful sleep. The next day, he did his best to concentrate in his classes, and met up with Deepak in the lab at 5 p.m.
Dee was there waiting for him, tossing a pint jar full of blood from hand to hand.
"What the fu... where did you get the blood?"
"I have my ways, dude," Deepak said. "One of my buddies works at the health service. I supply him with some weed now and then. I laid a bag of some nice Thai on him, and he snagged this for me. Am I good, or what?"
"I'm impressed. I'm glad to see that you are using your dope connections for good, instead of evil. How do you know it's female blood?"
"That's what I asked for. Let's hope Angel didn't fuck me over, or we might be limited to anal sex with our new little buddy!" Harold grimaced and hoped that Deepak was just joking.
They got a large jar out of one of the supply cabinets in the lab. They poured in the pint of blood, and then both spit in as much saliva as they could summon. Harold poured in the test tube of dew that he had collected that morning, and Deepak cracked in a raw egg, carefully separating the yolk. Next, they used a fingernail clipper to harvest some slivers from each of their hands, and scissors to snip samples of each of their hair. The mixture was starting to look quite disgusting.
"That's almost all of it, dude. One ingredient to go."
Harold looked at Deepak. "I know. The semen. Do you want to do it, or should I?"
"We want her to crave both of our cocks, dude. We should both contribute, I think."
There wasn't much choice, so they each dropped their pants and started pounding their puds. Harold wasn't completely happy about stroking his shaft in front of Deepak, but he did want the experiment to have every possible chance of success. He closed his eyes and pictured Gloria Van Arsdale and her bouncing pony tail. Only this time, it wasn't bouncing off into the distance; it was bouncing up and down in his lap, as her full, pouty lips slid up and down his shaft, and her cool white fingers squeezed his nut sack. He could almost smell her perfume as he kept his eyes screwed shut and his imagination working at full speed. He thought about her cute little tushie, her pert breasts, her slim waist, and that magnificent sexy mouth that was gobbling his member by proxy via his own spit-lubed fist. Finally, he felt his juices rise and knew it was time to come. He opened his eyes and aimed for the jar, and spewed an enormous, thick, white glob of man-milk. And another. And another! It just kept coming, until he'd deposited a thick layer of jism which completely covered the contents of the jar.
Deepak was in the process of blasting off as well, and also managed to produce a prodigious quantity of semen. Together, they must have raised the level in the jar by close to an inch. "Whoa, dude, we did good!" Deepak observed. "That's what you get when you go months without any sex." Then he took a glass stirring rod and carefully mixed up the nauseating concoction as he pulled up his trousers.
