The invitations were sent out in the morning by courier to mobsters throughout Metropolis and the surrounding areas. Each recipient was invited to attend a not-to-be-missed party the next evening. Since the invitation came from Lex Luthor, no one was inclined to miss the party, but the contents of the packages clinched the deal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each package contained a pair of boxer shorts and, if the mobster had a teenaged son who would be attending, an extra pair for him. The shorts were made of limp, skin-smooth, transparent-white plastic film and came with a note recommending that the recipient wear them under his trousers while he attended the party.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sorority Slavedoll</title><link>/stories/2017/03/02/sorority-slavedoll/</link><pubDate>Thu, 02 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/03/02/sorority-slavedoll/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Some people say that man is mastery and woman is mystery. That&amp;rsquo;s a clever play on words, certainly, but there is a very spooky truth to it. When the former goes wrong, the latter sets it right, sometimes in the most horrifying ways. There&amp;rsquo;s a reason why some women are called witches and a hapless young man discovered that reason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just off the campus of the University of New Wales at Pennstadt stands Sorority Row, a neat array of former mansions lining one of the main streets that run by the campus. Set a little apart from the others, separated from its nearest neighbor by a miniature park, was the Shi Imega Lambda house. It was to that house that Stefan Bonhuizo came with sinister intent.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Two Schauerkappe Weddings</title><link>/stories/2017/03/02/two-schauerkappe-weddings/</link><pubDate>Thu, 02 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2017/03/02/two-schauerkappe-weddings/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;In the story &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href="schauerkappe.html"&gt;Schauerkappe&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo; the narrator described how, through a series of errors, he had become Marla Schauerkappe&amp;rsquo;s plastic prisoner, had been turned into an inflatable woman by Marla&amp;rsquo;s teenaged son Dale, and made pregnant with a raincoat, and then, after giving birth to the new raincoat and discovering that Marla and her husband Beaubeau had captured themselves a new pair of inflated plastic prisoners, was scheduled to be married to Dale. This is how the wedding went.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Schauerkappe</title><link>/stories/2014/12/03/schauerkappe/</link><pubDate>Wed, 03 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2014/12/03/schauerkappe/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I am supposed to be Marla Schauerkappe’s plastic prisoner. And even that’s a mistake. I had originally been captured for the pleasure of Marla’s husband Beaubeau.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was a rainy day and I had to go out on some minor errand. I put on my raincoat and went on my way. That’s what got me in trouble. My raincoat is a woman’s raincoat made of soft, skin-smooth, semi-transparent light-blue plastic closed with thumbnail-sized patches of magnetized rubber, each surrounded by a quarter-inch aureole of welded plastic. To make matters worse, I needed a haircut: my hair puffed out the raincoat’s pixie-style hood. So it was kind of understandable that Beaubeau would mistake me for a woman.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
