The Greeting

So when Mary And Shaun finally left, Shaun shook my hand and slipped me a little blue pill, while Mary once more checked me over from head to toe. Wasn’t going to lie, I checked her out from head to toe, both front view and back view. And what a view she offered. Then apparently my mind began to figure out what no clothing required actually meant.

I couldn’t see myself walking the street with only my underwear on, hell I wasn’t fully comfortable if my jeans were a bit on the tight side. There was no way that I was going to show up at a gathering in only my underwear. Besides I couldn’t be guaranteed that I had a clean pair left, for that matter a t-shirt and a pair of jeans either. Going to my bedroom, I found my dirty clothes hamper and a box of dirty clothes.

Looking at my watch, I figured out that I had plenty of time to do a fast load of laundry. So that is how I killed the one hour before leaving for the gathering. Compared to the rest I may be considered overdressed but at least I felt comfortable with being in public!

The Meyers lived three houses up the street from me, So getting there wasn’t hard at all. I found the right driveway and went up to the front door only to find a note telling all involved to come around to the back yard. The whole yard was surrounded by a ten foot wooden fence. I went up to the gate, about to walk when i heard someone who I had come across earlier in the day.

“And then he had the nerve to say that they were and I quote, ‘The kind that makes great toast in the morning and sandwiches during the day!’ as if he was fucking proud of slowing killing himself with those chemicals” Pausing then “The fucking nerve of the asshole!”

“Susan you have to remember not everyone is aware of what’s going into their bodies, they just eat what they can get a hold of as long as it tastes good to them!”

Now I recognized the voice as belonging to the protester in the grocery store. As for the other voice I had no idea who owned it. I began to think that maybe I should just go back home and claim that I took suddenly ill. It was more than an idea and I almost carried it out if it wasn’t for turning around and finding Leah coming towards me.

“Hey you made it!” Looking me completely over. “Dressed more than most will be but I’m sure before you go back home that you’ll be wearing only the juices of some of us!”

Leah slipped her left arm around my elbow and walked me inside the gate. “Hey everyone, look who I found at the gate!”

Eleven pair of eyes turned to me, Then from the grocery store protester came the greeting i was dreading but fully expecting!

“YOU! The Chemical eater!”
