Dial - Season 1 - Episode 9

The dark-complexioned elderly woman moved away with a little shake of her head.
I stared at Bajoe, and she looked so hurt that tears shimmered in her eyes.

Light Duke Grayhem shook his head at me, complete revulsion on his face.

“You’re such a bad apple, a snake befitting Lucifer!” he said in a ridiculously savage voice. “Your body has not seen the light!”
I was kinda getting angry at this juncture, and I glared defiantly at him.

“Really? You believe so?” I asked, exasperated. “I thought I was coming to church, a normal church, and here I am, surrounded by a host of normal woman. What the hell did you expect to happen?”
“Oh, shut up, you infidel, you snake!” Light Duke Grayhem exploded. “You checked the box on the form you filled, right here, look! You checked the box that you’re an enlightened lighter!”

He shoved the form in my face, that bunch of stupid paper I had filled initially.

“That doesn’t mean crap, Lightening!” I said, and that seemed to incur the ire of many present because they all shouted in unison.
“Light!”

“Oh, whatever!” I said with a toss of my hand. “I didn’t even read that sheet much! D--n, I didn’t know what enlightened lighter meant! I thought it just meant I believed in God! I didn’t know I was gonna get naked and walked around in some d--n artificial garden with naked women all around me!”
“You’re sick, Yao Biko!” Bajoe shot in then, absolutely hurting. “I thought I could trust you! You seemed so different! Tell me, who made you get an erection? Which of the women here aroused you this much?”
I looked at her, absolutely incredulous.
“Jeez, Baj!” I cried, surprised. “Who made me get stiffy? I wish I could say it was you, but you know I’ll be lying! You brought me to a roomful of naked women parading around and you ask me who gave me a stiffy?”

“You sick bastard!” Bajoe screamed at me. “More than half these women are married, and their husbands are here!”
“I don’t know that!” I said, almost shouting myself. “To me they are just naked women bending and posturing and doing their d--n stuff and as a normal man I hit a stiffy without even knowing it! How could you men stand a sight like this and remain so d--n unaffected?”

Light Duke Grayhem held out his right arm, and Bajoe ran to him, and he held her with a paternal love and patted her shoulders.
“It’s alright, my dear,” he said in a kind voice. “He didn’t deserve you anyway. He’s just cad, a d--n snake! Get out of my sight, Mr. Yao Biko!”

“I aim to do just that as soon as somebody shows me my d--n clothes!”

“Jojo!” Light Duke Grayhem shouted, and the young man who had attended to me trotted forward and bowed his head with reverence.

“I’m available, Light of my Light!” he said.
“Take this fool to the Apple Room and get him his clothes!”

“Yes, Light of my Light.”
