LXIV Metallica

LXIV – Metallica

Annie had vowed to stay away from alcohol, drugs and smoke, she was touring Africa along with an old migrant Masai Warrior whom she met when she was addressing a seminar in South Africa, despite all her resistance to things worldly, she was besotted – the Masai warrior was huge, dark as charcoal and she found his name difficult to pronounce.

But her love for him was a combination  of lust , savagery and an energy that sometimes unnerved even the mighty Masai. 

Annie’s new beau looked a supremely confident human, his walk, talk, smile, laugh, gait , look and certain centuries old convictions seemed to suggest that the Masai culture had the answer to all human  ills.

Annie wasn’t convinced but yet found strong attraction – She wasn’t sure if it was the Masai warrior or the Masai culture or both .

She had dyed her hair red, with her frontal portion – on the forehead side - shaved a bit to extend her facial horizon giving her a look of a half monk - she had a head band made of sheep wool, columns of black and red wool with white beaded border strung around her hair which was gathered into a plait, her eyes had thick mascara, eyebrows were blackened, she had shiny, golden, silverware metal rings hanging out from her ears, nose & lips. 

Thankfully, some part of Annie’s attire remained contemporary, She had a very light muddy brown , loose and flying, Thai Kurta cotton top with sleeves running to her shapely elbow that had light frills at the shoulders and a deep breast cut that gave a tantalising look into her bosom, which wasx held by a very thin , cotton, bra – hardly hiding, in fact more revealing.

She had silver bangles running across her arm, tattoos across her body, depicting Hinduism, islam, jesus, hizbollah, hosannah, Hebrew and whatever one could think of – she was inked, from her arms, neck, belly, tongue and vagina.

She wore shiny silver ankles that enhanced a dark African tulip red and black sarong .

A sling cotton bag, that had her laptop, her books , some basic tools – a Mac ( a Canon 250 D Camera permanently hanging from her neck) her ipod with earphones a blackberry and an Samsung mobile phone completing her personal wardrobe.    

Annie also had her face painted.

She was so petite and lean despite all the metal and paint and tattoo Annie still looked weak and alien.

Annie was so consumed with her Masai mind , she raped her African Masai warrior husband the first day they were married. 

And she was pregnant the next day.
