Member-only story
[Dear readers, here is the story that was just published in the July issue of Ethical Non-Monogamy Magazine (ENM, p. 38). We hope you enjoy it!]
We finally returned home after months in exile/paradise during COVID-19 lockdown. We returned to a dusty house, cars covered in pollen as if after a light snow, and springtime blossoms. With nowhere to go since work-from-home orders were still in place, we (that is, Lo) set herself to doing the spring cleaning in between Zoom meetings.
I, being an entrepreneur, resumed going to my office, though it was empty of Ms. Gale and my other employees.
One day, not long after our homecoming, after work I was greeted by Lo at the door. “What are you going to do with these?” Lo asked as I approached the threshold, holding four eight porno mags in her right hand.
“I was thinking about lining my coffin with them for the afterlife.”
“You can’t even get it up now — you think that you will be able to in death?”
“Haven’t you ever heard of rigor mortis?”
She let me inside to explain. She placed the porno mags on the dining room table, displayed prominently as ‘Exhibit A’ in the case against H.H.
“Lola, where did you find those?”
