Just as the indians were being decapitated and castrated and set on fire and running around screaming like flaming comets Glanton randomly asked me Have ye ever gotten a blowjob.
Um thats out of the blue
The blue?
Like ye know out of the sky.
The sky?
Like the Leonids. God how they did fall. Like out of nowhere. I mean what made ye think of that.
Ive just never given one, he answered, his little voice dripping with seductiveness. It was so brazen I thought I would explode madly gibbering like a flaming indian. I never thought. I mean from Judge Holden hearing that stuff was one thing. But to hear his sweet little alabaman voice go so sexy all of a sudden...
No, I said, I never have.
Think it would be fun?
DO I!?!?!?!?!?!?! Um, ye. I mean, ye dont have to.
I think I want to, he said, and we kissed a little and then. And then with me sitting watching the babies hung up on trees with limbs chopped off and matrons screaming and bawling and holding onto them then getting decapitated and shot brutally watching Judge Holden up to his psychotic antics. Glanton unbuttoned my pants and pulled my boxers down a little and pulled out my penis.
Wow, he said.
What?
He looked up at me but didn’t move his face nanometers away from my penis.
Its right weird I reckon
What do you mean weird.
Just big I reckon.
I reckon I could live with that kind of weird. And then he wrapped his hand around it and put it into his mouth.
And waited.
We were both very still. He did not move a muscle in his body and I did not move a muscle in mine. I knew that at this point something else was supposed to happen but I wasnt quite sure what.
He stayed still. I could feel his nervous breath.
For minutes for as long as it took the last gibbering mad indian to calm down and die to steal the key and unlock themselves from the jail of this life he lay there stockstill with my penis in his mouth and I sat there waiting and then he took it out of his mouth and looked up at me quizzically.
Should I do something?
Um I dont know, I said. Everything Id learned from having sex with the Judge suddenly exited my brain. I thought maybe he should move his head up and down but wouldnt that choke him?
So I just stayed quiet.
Do ye reckon I should bite?
Dont bite. I mean I dont think so. I think I mean that felt good. That was nice. I dont know if theres something else.
I mean, you didnt—
Um. Maybe we oughter ask Holden.
So we went to his tent and asked the Judge. He laughed and laughed. Sitting on his bed, he laughed. He is laughing, laughing. He says that he will never stop. He danced into the teepee. He returned with an indian phallus and showed us in detail. Never have I so wanted to be indian phallus.
