When Ladders Traumatize Part 4

Right as he got to the exit, he noticed a bucket labeled puke. Just then, his gut changed course and rushed violently to his throat. The girl was pushing his neck towards the bucket as a stream of water projected out forcefully from his mouth into the bucket.

Just as quickly as this happened, it was over and his tummy turned south and attempted to blast out of his rear, reducing him to a kneeling weeping mess.

She whispered “you just lost a bit of water, you’re OK”

As he tried to recover his strength, he was aware that he had lost control of his legs. There was no will to stand. As he looked across the floor, the teen was no longer in his chair and had a bat in his hand standing by the entrance of the loft where he had just came from. The teen was mouthing the words “Go now. Go quickly”.

“Sweetie, we could have had such great fun together”

The girl grabbed him and nearly hurled him towards the hole.

Just as his body started to fly out the hole, his legs regained function and found the steps to the exiting ladder. More like and extremely inclined staircase. Following it down as quickly as he could, Bret nearly fireman-slid down the ladder. His strength was coming. He wanted out and fast. With each inch of travel, his wellness was surging back.

Once landed, Bret didn’t wait to be shown the door as he broke into the fastest cobbled hobbled sprint he could muster. As he cleared the exit and found his strength returning, he bounded out with all his body could afford to give him. He ran without looking back until he collapsed close to Bucking Betty.

The teacher and student who he had seen crying earlier were the only two people sitting near him when he dropped. They looked up un-bothered.

“We told you so” the teacher said.

“Did you get the boy out?” the student asked.

Just then, Betty stepped out of the bus, “Hopefully that lovely girl who scared you helped you out in the end, right?

Wait. Hold on. How did Betty know about what just had happened?

Just then, the most angelic beautiful gal he had seen since meeting Zoe rounded the corner and blew a kiss his way. The other student reached in the air and grabbed it and laughed. The knot returned to his belly as his testosterone rose to a boil.

The gal who had squeezed his rear was looking way too ravishingly beautiful. Why was his tummy turning again? How was this even possible? Why that sense of dread mixed with arousal? Who’s Karma was this anyway?

“Sweetie, we really could have had a great time”, the girl whispered just barely loud enough for him to hear, “I’m really sorry I startled you and messed up my chances with you, handsome”. She blushed and cocked her head while blowing another kiss.

Before the other student could snatch it out of thin air, time slowed as this angel coquettely swirled around in slow motion and elevated onto her toes as she started to skip away towards the other set of busses in the adjacent lot.

As soon as she climbed into the last new stagecoach bus, his tummy freed itself up and the knot vanished. However, the distinct need to use the lavatory stayed. He had to go and had to go now for real for real.

But, scanning the field, there was nothing to see. No lavatory. No other buses. Nothing. Just Bucking Betty. The teacher had already found his spot in the bus and was calling Bret to snap out of his dream state, as he was keeping them from leaving to go back home.

Did time really stand still for him and not everyone else as this angelic girl mesmerized him?
