Taking a walk in the sun.
------------------------------------
The desert heat was soaring over 110 degrees. I was perspiring profusely.
I was thinking I should have drank more water before I left my home. But no mater there was a Circle K about one hundred yards away. I stopped by the convenience store and purchased a half gallon of drinking water. The store was virtually empty except for the cashier and one patron. The patron was a willowy looking blonde who had an unlit corn pipe in her mouth. I glanced at her because she was very attractive. She wore a blue halter top and cut off jeans and she was barefoot. She nodded her head towards me and smiled. I responded by smiling back at her. After I payed for the water I walked towards the blonde. She said to me as I got close to her, is hot enough for you. I replied yes even now more so. I of course was referring to her sex appeal. She asked me if I wanted a ride, and I said sure. Parked outside was a monster truck that was hers. We climbed into the truck and she started the engine and lit her corn pipe.
The pipe had an unusual aroma but it was not reefer. It smelled a little like skunk. It was not as compelling as skunk but the aroma had a cosmic smell.
I felt light headed as I took a drink from my water jug. The aroma of her pipe was making me feel dizzy but not sick. I closed my eyes and fell asleep next to the pretty blonde. When I awoke I felt like I was in a water tub. My body began to feel movement. I felt my face being squeezed. Then I felt a burst of air and a slap on my backside. A big buxom woman was holding me by my feet as I let out a loud scream. I was awake now and crying. To my surprise I could not talk. I looked at my mother who was gasping in pain. Why this was happening I could not understand. But this was the beginning of my reincarnated new life.
