Back in 1970 a fellow adventurer and I wrote this experimental piece, whereby I would write a line or two then pass the typewriter to him to write a line or two, and so on.
We never knew where the story was going or how it would end but the creative process was actually very revealing in the fact that it has a plot, deep meaning, humor, conflict, resolution and an ending that surprised us both!
Needless to say we were high all day every day back then, but the creativity was within us regardless of the psychotropics and the energy flow took hold.
If you choose to stick with it, there's a payoff and remember we didn't discuss the progression, just wrote what felt right and passed it back. Funtimes!
So, sit back and enjoy this image-rich, experimental, free-form, sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll vampiric tale involving God, Lucifer and Manual the Gardner.

The Legend of Manual’s Labor
by
John Good and Terry Lattimer
Manual the gardener slipped his mutated member in her quivering
quim….theirs was the joy of the crusty fetid death lover……..
agony, joy….and the pomp and circumcise of life.
Throughout the time and space of his pathetic existence on this
bizarre and brutal sphere in the barbaric times of the post-mutant
age, his quest for the inebriated phosphorous soldier of the fourth
order of the purple nuzz- nuzz, left him in a rather slobbery state.
Poor pathetic Manual could barely grasp at what was reality,
what with crusty quims and all. Lord Lucifer! Why do you forsake
me now?....when all but the memories of an amnesia-dominated past
have beckoned me with an elusive hand, inviting and inticing me to
rise. I shall rise, I shall….tomorrow I shall go to the priest
of the one they used to call Christ. If I can gain his confidence
and his magic perhaps the emergence of a pseudo-spiritual redeemer
will render the apathetic doldrums to a state of total recall.
Its so hard and getting worse daily. As my brain rots ever so
routinely, it is hard for me to keep it all together….fuzzy-
wuzzys and nuzzy-nuzzys….I will no longer honor my false brazen
God. He shall have no more of my life giving blood, but be the
unwilling donor of sacrifice over and over again for the fair and
virginal flower of the tainted forest of eternity. Rainbow spider
webs….autumn leaves….lustful fall….what does it all mean?
The esscense goo that they call me is no more than a manic
struggle between two blood-lusting souls searching for sanity.
Along with the equally demanding urges of the eye…the optical
telescope of non-reality. The conflict, the pull, the never-
ending decision of whether that today is really tomorrow yesterday.
Yes, yes the urge is to acknowledge this as real, yet, yet, how
can this whore of carnal delight be anymore than that delectable
taste of her love goo.
The tought of approaching this madness, this conflicting bridge
of threadbare thoughts leaves me no way out but that of temporary
reconciliation with my inner God. Yet who is that forsaking bastard?
My friend, My foe?.....
I believe I shall now go about thine destruction. Thine destruct-
ion, let me count the ways: whether it be nobler to drain the life
giving blood in second to eternity lapses or send my soul-self into
oblivion via a celestial narcotic drug,….that sweet release.
I have reached my decision…not an easy one for sure. It’s a
delight though to suck her life thrusting juices even if it does
mean her demise. The thought spirals into an intense overbearing
climactic explosion of every molecule in me as the last drop is
suckled from the now non-existent whore of carnal delight…..
that is me.
