Into the Great Wide Open
“The women come to him, three a night. They give him a gold coin with a rolled rubber inside it, and some other small token that his waking self can’t quite remember. Silky, Kenny thinks, remembering the soft clean sheets and the perfumed women who come to him. Something feminine, receptive. Somebody else is running him, a vague presence, neither male nor female; the presence doesn’t have Kenny’s best interests at heart, he knows that, but the life is his to enjoy for now. A deal with the devil.... The women who pay for him are clean and beautiful. He never leaves the room. He isn’t man enough to escape; not that he wants to.
The middle one on this particular night is Asian, a small compact woman with long black hair, older than Kenny, a woman he could love (he knows this without knowing why). She says nothing, which happens often. Other times they tell him stories, fantastic and dirty; other times they want him to curse in their ears. Kenny is always glad to see them when they arrive, always tired of them by the time they go, but not this woman.MoreLess
