the art room
galadap finds out by accident one night she can drink jade acrylic ink and temporarily develop superhero powers no other colours of acrylic ink and not india ink or anything else she tries 20 mills of muted pink alizarine eg and just stays in bed for 2 days with terrible stomach pains and hallucinations of nineheaded squirrels reciting the gita its when shes with her friend tivisti and theyre playing doktor as usual and while she has her finger in his cute little anus officially to be checking the temperature and hes saying but doktor its the wee worm growth on the other side im concerned about it was like this how galadap wants tivisti to be doktor so she can have his finger up her anus but it always ends up with her in the power position and how boring is that but whats she to do its not as if she doesnt enjoy it but shed prefer to mix things up a bit and tivistis someone who gets turned on by routine and she needs novelty but doesnt know how to get it lifes like that she thinks as she spreads whippedaquafaba on tivistis little worm and he invents aches & pains to tell her about and he says how only she can help him for she alone has the special wisdom and the secret treatments and the deeper knowledge its then she on a whim decides to run to mamas art room and colour the whippedaquafaba and turn tivistis worm a beautiful green so she tiptoes away telling her patient to lie specially still and wait and not stiffen the worm and gets the key shes not supposed to know about from inside the ars theurgia goetia on the topmost shelf at the back of the gilt closet in the library she has to use a chair and a few very old dictionaries & encylopedias to reach it mamas out at one of cranishs orgies but galadap still tiptoes as a matter of respect for the transgression mama forbids her at least once a month and more when shes drunk so always more than once a month to even think about going into the art room or finding the key but galadap sees mama one night in the new moon in february naked as antarctica and strange geometric markings on her meat and chanting to herself in langwiches of polypodiophyta and odonata and galadaps frozen down the long corridor of mirrors and her spectres multiplying in the glass but mamas possessed and sees nothing
i dont want you to put the jade acrylic ink on the whippedaquafaba on the worm i like it white like marshmallows and fluffy as vachon cakes
vachon cakes arent fluffy binzo theyre gross and she fills the dropper with jade acrylic ink
ill let you be patient next time tivisti pleads
galadap hesitates she doesnt quite believe tivisti next time hell make up some excuse and theyll argue but hell have more stamina and shell give in and all this sacrifice for nothing
i promise ill put my finger in your anus and check your temperature the way i know you really want
the thought makes galadap lose her reason well what should i do with this full dropper of jade acrylic ink
drink it says tivisti itll probably give you superhero powers
thats likely she says but lifts the dropper anyway to her mouth squirts swallows not as bad as vachon cakes she thinks and begins to feel funny im hungry she says faintly and i feel like a heloderma suspectum
youre not a heloderma suspectum so how do you know what a heloderma suspectum feels like
youre not me so how do you know i dont know what a heloderma suspectum feels like
im not you but youre certainly not a heloderma suspectum
but you already knew i knew what a heloderma suspectum feels like when you asked me how i knew what a heloderma suspectum feels like i know it by being right here in the doktors room with the jade acrylic ink and galadap proceeds to eat tivisti skin eyes sinews organs hair tendons bones nails muscle beginning with the head and ending with a lick of the very last drop of blood yummy galadap says that jade acrylic inks a fine thing but now i must get myself another friend to play doktor with
galadap becomes enchanted and learns the rules of this new magic never drink on fridays allow at least half a moon between feedings dont mix always fully eat the patient within an hour of drinking dont wear the unicorn jammies swallow the entire dropper she likes some of her patients and feels occasional regret but eatings never been so much fun its true various digestive anomolies have begun appearing vambrance not only keeps chattering in galadaps tummy but right along through digestion and even in turdform which for all friends have become perfectly spherical and green and the size of fluffy golfballs she has to flush him quickly down the toilet and hope the workers at the waste treatment plant dont notice anything suspicious theyre probably all on drugs and the turds are talking anyway yoj and abugida emerge from her anus shrunk but whole and the expulsions are more painful than when she fell off her tricycle and hit her head on a neighbours frontyard buddha for some reason she cant get abjados lefteye down and buries it in mamas herbgarden by the mcmyrpors secret cemetery but the next day an eyebush has grown and she spends the morning online searching arcane texts instead of building the city hall of hades with lego the way she wants just to figure out how to get rid of the thing before mama returns from cranishs aara likes being eaten and begs to go feet first but bites galadaps left pinky off just as the heads going in the mouth and galadap loses sleep that night over whether aara mauled her from ecstasy or revenge whether the act was premeditated or spontaneous justified and on what grounds if shes bitten off bodyparts before the severing was so efficient what kind of training aara had to remain so calm during the meal and so on till the vast dawn arrives as hungry as ever
its when galadaps examining hish though that things really get going everythings fine at first she has two fingers in hishs anus and hish is saying please pretty please doktor can you put a pretty third one in and then we all shall be very very well when she excuses herself to go potty but truly to get the jade acrylic ink telling hish shell get four fingers when she returns
but in place of the key in the ars theurgia goetia theres a note and it reads my darling darling galadap there are many layers & portals of forbiddings but the art room is of the most severe and there is no second chance youll find your last bottle of jade acrylic ink in the anchorite washroom on the fourth floor by the pink bismuth ive loved you like a dotter for that is what youve been
and galadap goes to the fourth floor and finds the anchorite washroom and drinks the jade acrylic ink which she finds beside the pink bismuth and devours hish like a timbit and goes to the library for she hears the ars theurgia goetia beckoning her with little whimsies but mamas swinging there from the chandelier naked as a sugarplum and the rope around her neck like the pearls of kurtz and mamas faces smiling and galadap smiles too and cuts mama down and knows this will be her last meal
