This is a drabble (100 word story) about a boy who decides to trust some new friends, and experiments with something he'd never had the nerve to try at home. It's a continuation of my Pigtails drabble, but told from Lenny's point of view.

Idol - 1989- Age 20

If it had been cold in the High Lady’s office chambers, it was a level just above damnation here. The room was fairly dark with a concrete floor and stone walls laden with two glow-lamps on each. Their light barely pierced the veil of darkness in front of me, and for the most part they revealed only wet stone that preceded the sound of dripping caused by Sheena’s efforts to ‘cleanse’ me. She stood there just at the edge of the darkness in the company of another servant girl named Kayla.

“This can’t be happening,” Miles thought. “I have to wear women’s underwear for a whole week? There’s no way this is real life.”

Liz had Miles follow her upstairs and led him into her room. She went into her closet to search for something, and as she did, Miles looked around the room. It was practically the same as his, except she had a frilly pink bed and a big mirror on top of her desk, which had an array of makeup in front of it. After looking through her closet for a little while, Liz popped out with an unopened pack of panties.

Jill's ditziness inadvertently provides Greg with a path across the chasm from boyhood to girlhood. 

"Go back to your room and clean up. I'll send Paul up to you later,"
Frankie said.

I staggered to the stairs. I felt Frankie's "deposit" trickling out of me. I clip, clopped up the stairs. My head was swimming. Terry was
screaming in my head.

"You just came from being fucked by a man, you must be gay now,"

I was thinking. "I have to act like this, or I will die. I must think l and a woman to stay alive."

Author's Note

I just spent the last couple of months reading all 86 of Erle Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason books. When my wife asked me what I was reading my tongue stumbled and I said Mary Payson. At that moment my Muse started doing somersaults and this is what came out. I'd apologize to Mr Gardner but he died long ago.

If you aren't familiar with Perry Mason, most libraries will have the books in printed or electronic form. They're well worth the time to read if you like character-driven mysteries. If you aren't familiar with Perry, you may find some of the references a bit obscure.
