"Feel-U-Feel-Me" Novel by Stewart and Rebecka Dickson

"Help me!" Screams Gya Mon. He grabs the silk pillow he is sitting on and presses it to his crotch, to stop the blood.

"Helllp!", he bawls.

One of his faithful, a woman, enters the room. She is somewhat alarmed at his panicked tone.

"What is it?"

"That thing!" Gya Mon screams, "It's maimed me!"

The woman, Sarah, sees the blood.

"Show me where you're hurt."

Shaking, Gya Mon lifts the pillow to show her.

"Oh!" She says, her hand going to her mouth. "Where are they?"

"Inside that thing!" Gya Mon presses the pillow to himself again and points at the Feel-U-Feel-Me pad, now upside-down on the floor.

Another woman, Katherine, appears at the door.

Sarah says, "The Feel-U-Feel-Me pad has amputated Gya Mon's genitals. We should find them and get him to the hospital."

Gya Mon has crossed his legs under himself and is rocking back and forth slightly, hugging the pillow to himself.

"How will we get them out?" Katherine asks.

"Dont't touch it!" Gya Mon blurts, gesturing again at the Feel-U-Feel-Me pad.

"Turn it off", Sarah says.

Katherine enters, locates the cable connecting the Feel-U-Feel-Me pad and disconnects it. Now, with the power off, the pad is rigid. She turns it over and presses her hand against the surface. The metallic surface doesn't yield.

"I can't get anything out of here." Katherine says.

Sarah suggests, "Maybe if we restart the computer, the Feel-U-Feel-Me pad will lose the program that attacked Gya."

"Disconnect it from the network first," Katherine says.

Sarah goes to the computer, disconnects the network cable and restarts it.

Katherine reconnects the cable to the Feel-U-Feel-Me pad, taking care to keep her hands away from the surface as she does so.

As the pad comes to life, it slowly vomits forth a red ooze. It is clear it has expelled all that was inside it.

"It looks like it's been totally digested," says Sarah.

"Come on," say Katherine, "Let's get him to the hospital."

They each go to Gya Mon's side and take an arm.

"Can you walk?" Asks Sarah.

"I think so," says Gya Mon weakly.

Katherine and Sarah slowly lift Gya Mon, still holding his pillow to his crotch. He walks bow-legged and with difficulty with their support.

In the car, a third of his entourage, his driver is at the wheel. Sarah and Katherine are still on either side of Gya Mon in the back seat.

They have wrapped Gya Mon in his robes. He is still sitting on his pillow.

Sarah says, "You realize that you will have a choice to make. Whether to have the doctors reconstruct your male genitalia, or whether to choose a different way of life."

Katherine says, "You lived your life up to now following the male principle. You now have the opportunity to choose the way of the Goddess."

Gya Mon says nothing. The driver, also a woman, glances at him in the rear-view mirror.
