Go+to+Party

Thoughts of Sue race through your head, you feel guilty for even thinking of accepting...but then you see her smile. Your guilt vanishes. Her expression is shy, but confident. You can see she’s not used to getting turned down... so why be the first? “I’d love to!” you announce, a bit louder than you expected. She notices, but just giggles a bit.“7:30 at Gary’s Lounge... be there.” She smiles,hands you a piece of paper with the adress written, and walks away, glancing over her shoulder at you as she leaves. You arrive at the lounge at 7:35, running just a little bit late. As you arrive, Esmerelda runs up to you, lightly grabbing your hand and playfully dragging you into the Lounge. This wasn’t quite the place you were expecting. As you look around, you notice the place looks rather shady. The people in the bar, shrouded in darkness aside from the constant glow of cheap neon lights stare intently at you. You feel out of place. Esmerelda doesn’t seem to notice and continues her playful tugging on your hand. She guides you through the crowd, weaving through a sea of people who aren’t happy to be parted. You bump particularly hard into a burly, muscular fellow. As he-- or rather she turns around, you recoil in fear. This was no ordinary woman. “Watch it!” the amazon barked at the top of her lungs. As you stagger backward, you inadvertently draw Esmerelda back with you, as she is still tightly grasping your hand. Recognition flashes across the face of the enormous woman. “Esmerelda?!” She yelled, speaking as if she was reading a message written with caps lock, “Who is this?!”. Esmerelda stammered, unsure what to say. “It... Its not what it looks like!” Scared, but hungry for answers you step back toward the giant woman. “Hold on just a second, what’s going on here?” you say, mustering up all your courage to project yourself. Before you know it, the large woman has lifted you off of your feet by your collar, dangling you like a ragdoll in the air. She cocks her fist back, and releases. You feel as if a truck has driven into your face. You fall to the floor, and just before you black out, you manage to hear “I’ve got some news for you buddy...she’s a lesbian!”
