When I exit the door, I can only see light. God damn it's so fuckin bright. Lil henn hides behind my hair and I realize I need to dress as an earther before I go there.
My eyes close and I transport myself to a different place. It's all dark except a computer and shelf full of clothes.
On the computer I choose where I'm going and what time. Earth, America, present day.
The computer loads the wheel of death and I kick the stand as the internet buffers. Suddenly three outfits appear one labeled e-girl, one labeled target mom, and the last labeled daring lgtbq. I click the last one and see what pops up.
Up shows me with a red streaked meet me at McDonald's haircut, red flannel, black ripped jeans, and a pride shirt. I have red docs and a mini Italian greyhound in a rainbow turtleneck sweater.
Lil henn shakes his head no but I already clicked on it. Whoops.
Out from the shelf the outfits appear and I snap my fingers to change. Instantly I look fabulous and lil henn is pattering weird with his feet, trying to get used to the sweater.
"Why did you do this?" He asks while waddling as we enter earth.
"Sush. Dogs aren't supposed to talk here."
Henn doesn't stop he just speaks quieter. "At least pick me up, I'm small for a reason."
"Fine" i pick up henn and we walk down an almost empty sidewalk. I turn the corner and People are absolutely everywhere. There are stands selling stuff and people looking a them. I try and find where I am when some guy tracks me down.
"-hey! Hey!" I whip around to see someone in a dark outfit with shiny stuff covering it. "You need to keep your dog on a leash!"
A leash? The fuck is that?
"I'm sorry- a what?" I ask and he rolls his eyes.
"A leash. You use it to keep track of your dog." He says.
Huh a leash. "Where can I find that?" I ask and he points to one of the stands. I thank him and he grumbles off. Lil henn looks at me.
You should probably know common sense. He directs to me.
Doesn't matter. I'm just a tourist here. Where are we anyways?
Henn shrugs and I look around for a sign, after taking one of those leashes and a collar. luckily I know every language from earth so I can better communicate with the sinners.
After wandering for what feels like forever, I see a sign
Seattle fish market! WA
Seattle. Hm.
Everyone is holding a rectangle with them. They seem valuable, I guess I should get one huh?
As I contemplate where to get one, someone smacks into me.
"I'm sorry oh gosh." She looks around for her rectangle.
I pick it up. " I hate to ask but what is this?"
She looks at me like an idiot. "Uh- the phone?"
"Yeah, where do you get one?" I ask.
"Uhh I guess I could show you." She leads me down and up a bunch of streets, which
gave me some time to see what she looked like.
Dyed blue and black short hair bounces off her shoulders as she walks in her converse with big steps. Her face is looking straight forward and she's got red lipstick to go with her freckles. It all looks really good on her. She's got a bag covered in buttons with various messages, including a rainbow flag button.
She turns her head to me and holds out her hand for me to shake it. I do.
I get goosebumps and an electrical shock when we shake hands and I blush (pretty common for a demon, we've got a lot of blood)
"My names chamile." She says and she raises her eyebrows at me for a response.
"Oh- uh I'm lily" I reply a tad to late and she smiles and looks down.
I've heard stories from postdeaths about their predeath life and with the lgtbq community love is a main motivation for fighting. I couldn't understand exactly why they found it so important but I guess I will find out.
