"I always wanted a hot girlfriend who teaches yoga," Kiro said to his dream girl, who he drew so often in his bedroom, that now here she was, materialized before his very eyes. "This is the bed I shared with Sol," said Kiro as he pulled back the black curtains to reveal a lair of phantom love. "Maybe we should sleep in the other room," said Kemila apprehensively. "This one is much more comfortable," Kiro insisted. "When I had cancer, this bed gave me great comfort." "Well, if you want to sleep here, sure." That's usually how it went - whatever Kiro wanted to do, Kemila wanted to do. She was the Green Fairy who wanted to please him. “Thumbelina, Thumbelina, yes, that’s me,” she hummed to herself. Kemila did not know that Thumbelina’s wings are clipped in the lair of wolves. It took a while to fall asleep, and when she finally did, she awoke in the middle of the night crying: "Boob Tube! Boob Tube! Boob Tube!" After absorbing the radioactive energy of the cancerous bed, she closed her eyes and they were no longer on her face. "Oh! Oh! Oh!" she squealed in pain. "It's OK, it's OK," said Kiro, stroking her arm and cupping a hand around her right breast, which was glowing green. His eyes were still closed and he could not see. She lay on her back panicked, but unable to say a word. Kemila, who had never been at a loss for words, was now suddenly blind and mute. The process of metamorphosis had taken over and there was no turning back. She was now Kemila, an appendage of Kiro, only able to express herself through his filters. |
