Birth of Fortune

[Mr_3ppozz]

It was a late night flight and Ricky wasnt feeling to well this day. He called one of the ships nurses to check up on him.

Nurse: Good evening Sir, how are we feeling today.
Ricky: Well nurse, now that i see you, it all goes a bit better. But i still feel horrible. I think im sick or something.
Nurse: Then, open wide and let me check your temperature...... 38.1..
Not bad, youre not having fever, what are the main problems you have?
Ricky: Euh, im tired, i feel like i just party'd for 2 weeks straight without any sleep.
Nurse: Let me guess, you have had more then your usual amount of GALEM?
Ricky: Not really, i had 2 this morning, 3 before dinner and about 5 since dinner. Well.. actually that is a little bit more as usual.
Nurse: You know what you need? Some Kalisti Gold, it will help you light up your day.
Ricky: Excuse me?! How do you know that i have K.G.? I never told anyone about that. Who are you?
Nurse: Well, my name is Amnezia Haze. I've been working for you for about 3 months now. You have a small stash of Kalisti Gold in your Suite.
Ricky: Well Amnezia, you seem to know awfully more about me, then i know about you. How do you say that we change that?
Amnezia: Sure, lets go have some fun. I know just the place.

Ricky followed Amnezia around his ship. He came in places he couldnt remember seeing. Amnezia pointed at a door and said to Ricky to go in, take a seat and to wait for her. Ofcourse Ricky did this without any questions. He sat down on a large comfy sofa and saw his wooden box standing on the table. He took a quick look around and found himself in a newly build Lounge Bar in a closed section of the ship. Amnezia came back with some drinks, sat down next to Ricky in gave him a pre-rolled Joint. "Here, you will feel much better after this" she said, Ricky looked at her and asked what was in it. She didnt answer, she gave him a lighter and walked to the bar, to turn on some relaxing music. The music was another new thing to Ricky, it sounded relaxing but not from this time. "Amnezia dear, what music is this, i like it a lot, but have never heard it before." Ricky looked at her with big eyes, as if she was the first women he ever met. "Its Reggea, this particular album is from UB40, but i also have albums from Bob Marley and many many others. Its music from the 21st Century on earth. It can be found at some antiquity stores."

Only 30 minutes later the world made a sudden change for Ricky. He felt 10 times better, he was fully in heaven. Amnezia was in a different state of mind, it was allmost if she had just found an extra brain. She was talking about the entire Sirius System, how Chaos was the centre of everything that happened. For some reason Ricky felt drawn towards the concept and made himself comfertable to listin. He reached for his stash, grapped some papers, bit of tabacco and started rolling a new joint. Amnezia however, wasnt interested in another joint, the moment she started talking about chaos, it was done. She would explain him everything she knew about the Discordian way of thinking.

5 hours later, Amnezia was still blabbering on about vaguely discribed synonyms that made no sence whatsoever. Ricky was still listening, but lost what she was talking about nearly 3 hours before. He just felt pleasant listening to the calming sound of her voice. Although it was ununderstandable for Ricky, he did knew what she was talking about, however in the back of his head he knew that he was going to forget it all once he dropped his high. It gave him a good reason to ask Amnezia to stay, he wanted to learn everything and knew it was going to take a lifetime to explain it all. He asked Amnezia if she would quit her job too be with him. Amnezia looked at Ricky, turned around and looked again finally she opened her mouth: "W..w.wwel..well if you ask me to, i will. I really l l lllo...loov.... I really love to be with you. Yes YES!!" she started jumping and dancing around the room. Ricky felt pleased that he finally found someone who could excite him, a woman with whom he could share his life.
