Jolene was a hot blonde, very hot. Her accent was French. Her hair smelled like angels breath mixed with cookies, delicious fresh baked cookies. I followed her through the tunnel. " Are you a friend of Jeff's"? I asked the mysterious woman. "Let's just say I know where you are going." she replied. "The Hotel"? I asked. "Yes, of course the Hotel,,, she paused. "In Montreal"?
After walking a bit she showed me into one of those old green army tents. The inside of the tent was lit with candles leading up to a round bed covered with a mesh canopy. "Would you like too make Loves before bed"? Jolene asked seductively. My eyes bigger than meteors, I stammered "Uh, Ah, Umm, I have a, I have a, um, firl griend, I mean I have a girlfriend, so that would be". She unzipped her blouse, threw it to the ground and pulled me by the wrist into the bed. I tried hard to resist but she seduced me.
As I lay there next to Jolene in the green army-tent I started to try and remember my girlfriends name again. Her memory kept me going forward, that's the point of life maybe, just find someone and hold on to them. I wondered if she'd come looking for me. I did have her Neon parked outside of Crisco's house. I rolled onto my side and fell asleep.
When I awoke Jolene was missing. Her clothes and every trace of her were gone. "Oh, Don't tell me I imagined that part, no wait that would be great, that means I didn't cheat on Amy". It dawned on me that I finally could remember her name. Memories of times we shared raced through my mind. I felt a sense of joy followed by immense fear as I realized I was sitting on the bed next to a giant rattle snake. "Okay, just stay calm, don't let him feel your fear" I thought. I motioned my hand as slowly as I could over the snakes head, thinking like the many nature show hosts I watch I could simply capture the snake by tricking him and grabbing his head quickly. His fangs unleashed a vicious bite into my upper forearm causing blood to squirt forth like a geyser. The sound of his teeth ripping into my flesh sounded like someone taking a bite out of a crisp Michigan Apple.
My arm started to feel numb but I kept walking forward in the tunnel, hopefully I could find Jolene maybe she could help. I passed out on the ground, it felt like a ton of bricks hit me and then I was paralyzed. I heard Jolene in the distance speaking to someone, "He's ready let's get him to the operating room, we don't have much time before Jeff comes back". Two men in army fatigues with gas masks on walked over towards me with a stretcher, Jolene watched from the distance. "Where are you taking me". I managed to mutter. The one guard took off his mask and said"Didn't she tell you?" he pointed at Jolene, they both smiled at each other and that's when he told me "We are going to take your brains Thomas".
