One which stood out from the rest was a vision of a naked Fluffy Netherfuck standing in front of a lit candle in a dark room, moving her hands around the flame, and then gently vanishing. Just as Tanner was nearing consciousness, he heard a deep voice in the room with him clearly say "You're a good man for crying on the job". This jolted him to consciousness. He didn't know whether it was a real voice or from a dream, but as he lay there in bed, he was paralyzed with fear, wondering if someone was lurking nearby. "Hello?" Tanner finally blurted out, annihilating the silence. But there was no response. Then the phone rang. Tanner looked at the clock--it was 11:55 PM. "Hello?" Tanner said again, this time into the phone. "Hey dude! What's up! We met that hot babe of a goddess you were hanging out with!" Minion Van Hall said. "Minion! What's up!" "Did I wake you?" "Not really--I just got up, in fact. I thought I heard a voice in the room." "Hey--in this fuckin' city if the only weird thing that happens is a voice in a room, I'd be happy." "Heh--and how." "So anyway man--your girlfriend Fluffy got us a suite in the Hotel--we're on the 22nd floor. It's a really really excellent room! And she said we could stay as long as we want." "What about--what about our parents? Won't they be worried about us?" "No problem, dude. Did you know you can call Earth from here? It's really excellent. The Hotel switchboard can connect you with the regular Earth phone network--so I called all our parents, and told them we were staying over each other's house. The connection was pretty fuzzy, but it worked okay." "What did you tell my parents?" "I told your father we got a ride from someone else and that you were staying over my house and that you went down to the store to get some coffee so you couldn't come to the phone." "Great. But what if they try to call me at your house?" "Then there'd be a problem--but whadda we care? We did our best to deceive them, and anyway, we're in like a totally alien universe now! So who cares what they think?" "Yeah I guess you're right. So what did you do today?" "Well at first, after you left, me and Martin were hanging out with those two goddesses--Lovely Vastenlusty and Bazy Diswarnin. Did you know that Bazy's saliva is like burgundy? Y'know? It's pretty excellent. Then after awhile the goddesses split and then me and Martin split up too, causa what El Flactor Floor said and stuff, and I did all sorts of stuff and so did Martin, but we'll tell you all about it when you come over. Okay?" "Yeah." "Are you awake, man?" "Yeah, I'm awake." "So look--we're in suite 22-E on the 22nd floor, okay? Just come down as soon as you can. Just knock on the door, dude." "Yeah alright." "Come down right now, okay?" "Yeah, I'll be down in about ten minutes." "Cool--I'll see you then." Minion said. "Alright, bye-bye." Tanner said, hanging up. Then Tanner turned the light on and looked suspiciously around the room. He was alone. "You're a good man for crying on the job"--what the hell did that mean? He turned off the light and got back under the covers to get a few more minutes of ecstatic rest before facing the stark reality of the wavy surreality of Agoopish once again... -------> ------------------- ----------- -------- -- -----
