Pharmacopoeia

A family struggling to survive after the end welcomes a stranger to their home...


Pharmacopoeia



by Geode

There was a car coming up the road.

There hadn’t been a car coming down 47 in eight months. There hadn’t been a car coming up 47 in three years.

My son Jim, my youngest, came running at the sound. “Jim,” I told him, “get me the shotgun.” He scurried off into the house. He was just returning as the battered old Nissan pulled over at the side of the road, right in front of the house.

Chapter 73 Family together at last

I sat next to Julie as she poured the tea. Dad said he was very happy and that mum and he had had a nice afternoon together and he hoped we had too.

‘So come on dad what’s the mystery of York?’

We had to be patient whilst he stirred his tea and then he couldn’t resist to dunk his ginger biscuit in it because he knew mum would say something since she always told us not to do it. He was right she did. It was a good sign that they had become friends again. It was a big relief.

‘Yes you are different and that’s why I’m coming. You are special.’

Does she suspect? These words stayed with me for a while as I checked the flight schedules from Zurich. Susie would be arriving late afternoon the following day.

So what to do to get out of this mess. She was about to spend a lot of money to fly to Hong Kong and she was staying in the Langham hotel that is very expensive.

Tina’s results in school had been less than her usual average for some months. This was her third school in the past twelve months. Her parents were worried, the teachers were concerned. Something was going on but what?

Cerys Evans–her with the strange accent–had taken to the new girl almost immediately, and Tina had responded–at least to begin with–now she tended to avoid the young teacher.

‘A Wax? …..no way. A bikini wax….forget it. I can’t possibly expose myself anyway, you know I can’t.’

‘Oh Chrissy you are chicken. Come on be brave. These girls see much more than you think. They see every type of person you can imagine and women have lots of different sizes of labia. We are no different to men. We come in all shapes and sizes.’

‘Yes but mine is not the same. My labia extends a bit.’

Well I guess I should carry on. At least for a while.

My wonderful new friend was called Susie and she had her own photography business but she was working as a paid employee doing physiotherapy. Mainly the patients under her care were infirm or mature but they all loved her. As she’d passed through her thirties she’d calmed down a lot and was not so wild anymore.

For Trish–happy birthday, sweetheart.

What d’you buy the person who has everything? Antibiotics. Yes very funny, but that wasn’t my dilemma, it was a little more complicated than that.

A short time ago I had my twelve year old nephew come to stay with me. He’s my sister’s boy, and to say I wasn’t exactly looking forward to it was an understatement. In short, he’s a nightmare–aggressive, arrogant, objectionable, untrustworthy, dishonest, lying little toad–just about sums it up.

Chapter 71 The Salon

I looked at her and for a moment I didn’t quite know what to say. ‘Well I know this style is a bit butch because of the way I’ve grown up. I’ve just not really had much chance to be myself and try anything else.’

‘Mmm I thought that perhaps it was another reason. Your sister has a nice style so why not you?’

Laura

This is a very short story told to the author by a man who liked women --
liked them whether they were real women or transgendered.

Laura by Janet Baker

Jason met Laura that fall evening at a bar noted for its acceptance of unconventional lifestyles. The bar was filled with celebrants, the Twins having finally won a game. Jason scanned the crowd trying to determine whether the colorfully dressed habitués were real women or cross dressers or transsexuals.

Morgan

I took a deep breath before walking into the locker room. I was nervous, but I could do it. I hoped...

I'd actually gotten about a dozen feet inside before the yells started. I ignored them and headed on over to the cage to get a basket.

I'd almost made it when this huge guy blocked my path.

"Aren't you a little confused girlie? This is the boys locker room."

I looked up at him and said "Yeah, I know."

The Vacation

Eric thought he was alone in his grandmother's house.

His mother, older brother and grandmother went to the store to buy food for the Thanksgiving feast.

His father took his younger half-sister and his stepmother to the movies.

He really didn't know why he had the urges he did. And seeing his mother's dress on the floor in the laundry room was a temptation. He planned it out right, just like he had dozens of times before.

Chapter 70 My Lois Lane debut

I can’t have been fully unconscious or maybe the shock of falling in the pool brought me straight around. The first person who came into focus was a complete stranger and then over his shoulder I saw Julie.

The stranger was the pool attendant who was placing a folded towel under my head and he put his finger up and asked if I could see it clearly and to follow it as he moved it sideways. I was wet from the shower and also because I’d fallen in the pool.

Chapter 5

My Senior year of High School was very memorable for me in a few ways. School started well. I was doing great in my Art classes which was something I enjoyed doing. I decided to go to college as an Art Major. I excelled at drawing and painting. I could pretty much get a drawing's perspective down the first time I sketched it. I haven't done much with that lately but I do miss it as it tended to make me relax a little.

The first thing I noticed, was she had pretty feet. I know, I know, as soon as someone says that, everyone thinks you’re a perv. All you have to do is do a search on “foot fetish” online, and you’ll see stuff that would make your head spin. But I’m not like those dudes. Its just … when a girl has pretty feet, I notice, that’s all.

Chapter 69 Sallys tricks

Sally sat up and leaned over me and slowly and gently removed my nightie. I didn’t want to resist because I was very aware of the effect it was having on her and it was having an effect on me too. My boobies had seemed to develop recently and my nipples were tingling as she stroked them lightly.

I was pushing towards her hand and she was teasing me by moving her hand away slightly.

We looked at each other and then she held the door open as I walked slowly towards her. She looked awkward and then she said ‘Oh you’re back earlier than you said.’

‘Where are you going? What’s wrong I told you that I’d be back about 9pm to see you?’
Sally looked embarrassed and said she felt awkward because she’d wanted to leave before I returned and that she’d left me a note.

Chapter 67 Heart to Heart

I looked at my watch and it was already 6pm.

‘Kate I’m sorry but I’ve occupied a lot of your time already. Do you mind to carry on talking or have you something else to do?

It didn’t seem to be a problem for Kate and she seemed OK and she asked me to stay and have something to eat together if I liked since she didn’t eat much if she stayed in alone. I did feel obliged to accept her offer but also I really did want to stay and talk. She seemed to be the one person who might understand my situation.

Chapter 66 Kates story

I realized that Kate was right. It wasn’t that my curiosity hadn’t been fully satisfied but I did still feel there was a lot more to find out about Kate and her family and the links between he father and my real birth mother.

I could sense what Julie would be saying if she were with us. She’d be nudging me to ask more questions yet I felt tongue tied for a few moments and I guess I was still in awe of Kate who after all was my boss.

If you're browsing here, you're familiar with all the body-swap story mechanisms, and then what's interesting is how people deal with the result. This has a familiar theme if you've read 'Sometimes Justice Just Works', but I was pleased with the variation and where it went, and finally decided to let it out into the world anyway.

I, Messalina by Janet Baker

This short story is a vile little postscript to the life of Messalina, Empress of Rome. The story ventures into bestiality and thus the reader is forewarned.

According to Wikkipedia;

Roman sources claim that Messalina used sex to enforce her power and control [over] politicians, that she had a brothel under an assumed name and organised orgies for upper class women, and that she sold her influence to Roman nobles or foreign notables.
Juvenal is also highly critical of her in his Satire VI translation by Peter Green.
