Chapter 33 - Old Flames

 

Sometime old flames just refuse to go out. Cindy had contacted Claude begging for forgiveness. She truly loved him. He agreed to meet with her and he did it without 'bothering' Margery. 

Prompt action was called for.  Mirela paid Cindy a visit.  As before Cindy was cautious, this time the Gypsy woman was somehow, familiar.  But she was reluctant to let her in until she explained that she'd come to discuss making home movies: "Let me in Cindy."

She wasn't sure how, but Cindy found that for the last hour she'd been replaying her old sex movies made with Claude, as Mirela cuddled her and consoled her and she wept bitterly over the loss of her lover. A minute or two ago Mirela had clapped as a scene ended and another began and it somehow, all came back. She realised that Mirela was a true friend. She hadn't been shocked at all as Cindy rubbed herself from time to time and had even said encouraging words and sometimes joined in. Cindy remembers that more than once they kissed. 

Cindy was soon sobbing her heart out yet again and Mirela asked if Claude had made a history of dumping girlfriends so suddenly. Cindy told her about Joy.

"What do you think you two have in common," Mirela asked.  Cindy avoided mentioning the stolen recordings but of course, Margery already had copies of those.

"I bet you were both a bit too tame for him. You say he's with some older woman now?  She must have something special in the bedroom department. With that sort it's usually swinging, you know, she brings in a bit of younger talent to make up for her deficiencies in the bedroom."

"That's her Achilles heel.  You're young and very desirable. Now that he's obviously, into three-ways all you need is a girlfriend to help and he'll come back begging for forgiveness." 

Cindy was not at all sure. And anyway, she's not a lesbian. And where would she find a girl who would do this with her without falling for him too. There was already one too many women in his life. But when Mirela mentioned the three of them making home movies it seemed like the perfect solution.         

Cindy was so excited that she kissed Mirela and Mirela kissed her back.  

"Oh no," whispered Mirela: "I can't be your third.  But I would really like to show you what lesbians do with each other. I find you very exciting." This was the first honest statement she'd ever uttered to Cindy.

They'd embraced and were holding each other but when she'd said this Cindy suddenly pushed her away, shocked.

"I know.  You've never been with a woman before. You've never experienced a woman's special understanding. You've never made home movies with a girlfriend. But now there's nothing you want more." And Cindy found that she did.

Without any prompting Cindy enthusiastically delved into her bedside table and took out the camera that she'd evidently used to record her erotic experiences with Claude.

Margery was anything but camera shy but there was no way that she wanted to be seen by Cindy's camera. Fortunately, Mirela just happened to have a virtual reality camera set in her bag that looked like an innocuous headband.

"If we shoot it from your lover's point of view," explained Mirela, as she confiscated Cindy's camera, "with me wearing this, we won't need yours."

But of course, shot from a lover's point of view, this production wasn't to be for Cindy to enjoy. And it wasn't even for Claude. Margery had a different purpose altogether in mind.

Much later, when Cindy was cuddling Mirela contentedly, yet again and tracing circles on her tummy with a finger, Mirela asked:

"So, did you enjoy making home movies with me?" 

Cindy's expression went blank and she closed her eyes.

"Claude's lost to you. He's about to marry a seductive sorceress who's twice the woman you are. And that's the only threesome he enjoys. You're to leave him alone from now on."

"But in on the bright side," Mirela continued. "You're now sophisticated, you swing both ways, so you're about to embark on a brilliant new career in adult movies. You must seize that opportunity when it comes knocking."

It took some time for Mirela to get dressed again, with those scarves, lace up boots and so on. And as she did so she gazed at the beautiful naked body on the bed. 

"Such a waste," she said under her breath to herself.  Then louder:

"Now Cindy, when you wake, you'll forget I was ever here and should you ever see me you won't remember us ever meeting before."

Her last act, before she walked out the door and clapped, was to bring up Summertime from Porgy and Bess as background music on Cindy's sound system.

Cindy would be wondering when she had undressed and gone to bed. She must have been dreaming. Something about being a porn star?  Stupid dream.

As she rode her hover-bike home over the city Margery shrieked to the sky with triumph and elation. She was well aware that all she needed to have done was give Cindy her final instruction. But the girl was so delicious. Mirela had been a brilliant invention.

***

Margery's next step was to call on Phillip. She found him in his new hangout, a gay bar downtown.

She enchanted him suggesting that he would enjoy having woman again, in particular an 'up and coming' porn star. After releasing him from his enchantment she showed him a home movie that Cindy had supposedly made 'to promote herself as porn star', seen from the point of view of her lesbian lover. Philip found that he was desperate to meet this hot woman. Margery then suggested that he would like to become a porn star too and that Hank the Shank should be his porn name. Phillip, who until that moment had not realised that being a porn star was what he had always wanted to do in life, loved the name, which seemed quite flattering to his principal asset.  

Over the next several days Margery oversaw their courtship, as Cindy who was now totally over Claude, was swept off her feet by Hank, who was wonderfully simpatico, already in tune with her likes and dislikes and even knowing the town she grew up in and remembering some of her friends.  

After their rapturous initial meeting, Margery suggested that Hank's next date with Cindy should be boating and a picnic on the bank such as they had once enjoyed. She was laughing at something to do with the name she'd chosen for him. When she refused to say what it was he told her that he'd given up trying to get to the bottom of her jokes. At this she shrieked with laughter and kept giggling off and on, for the next half hour.

The following day Margery outlined her script for his porn movie with Cindy. Using Circe, she remotely coached him on how to prepare Cindy for their big production: step by step; date by date; as their affair continued. Cindy told Hank about her dream in which she had been with another woman and then became a famous star. They agreed that it was wonderful that they were so simpatico that they'd even had similar dreams of sex and fame. They placed an advertisement for another bi-couple to practice with and to co-star in their movie.

Their movie, Cindy Sins and Sins and Sins, featuring Hank the Shank, was one of the hottest of the year and quickly went viral. Downloads of the featured song, Summertime, also skyrocketed.

Cindy has since gone on to fame and fortune in the entertainment business, just as she had dreamt she would, and Margery has yet another unwitting acolyte to do her bidding when called upon.

Sri Lanka

 

 

 

In February 2023 we joined an organised tour to Sri Lanka. 

 

 

Beginning in the capital Colombo, on the west coast, our bus travelled anticlockwise, in a loop, initially along the coast; then up into the highlands; then north, as far as Sigiriya; before returning southwest to Colombo.

Fiction, Recollections & News

Alan Turing and The Imitation Game

 

The movie The Imitation Game is an imaginative drama about the struggles of a gay man in an unsympathetic world. 

It's very touching and left everyone in the cinema we saw it in reaching for the tissues; and me feeling very guilty about my schoolboy homophobia. 

Benedict Cumberbatch, who we had previously seen as the modernised Sherlock Holmes, plays Alan Turing in much the same way that he played Sherlock Holmes.  And as in that series The Imitation Game differs in many ways from the original story while borrowing many of the same names and places.

Far from detracting from the drama and pathos these 'tweaks' to the actual history are the very grist of the new story.  The problem for me in this case is that the original story is not a fiction by Conan Doyle.  This 'updated' version misrepresents a man of considerable historical standing while simultaneously failing to accurately represent his considerable achievements.

The reputation of nuclear power

 

 

One night of at the end of March in 1979 we went to a party in Queens.  Brenda, my first wife, is an artist and was painting and studying in New York.  Our friends included many of the younger artists working in New York at the time.  That day it had just been announced that there was a possible meltdown at a nuclear reactor at a place called a Three Mile Island , near Harrisburg Pennsylvania. 

I was amazed that some people at the party were excitedly imagining that the scenario in the just released film ‘The China Syndrome’  was about to be realised; and thousands of people would be killed.
