Chapter One
DeathApril 21, 2007 10:40 AM
I'm gonna die ... I'm gonna ... die. Jericho gazed through the windshield, somewhere past the passing highway and beyond the empty fields, intensely aware of the violent pounding in his chest-thumping increasingly harder with each passing second-and the sweat between his hands and the steering wheel. The thought of death had never consumed him in such a way before, and now it seemed to stare ominously from some place very close, like a hidden predator waiting to attack. He had thought about it before, at funerals, envisioned it at church many times when his father had rasped and growled a sermon full of fire and brimstone. Many nights as a child he had lain in the bed staring into the darkness praying that the morning would come, with the words "If I should die before I wake" weighing heavily on his young mind-but never like this. And even in the midst of it all, it seemed to him that what he feared might be worse than death. And though the sun lay beautifully behind the clouds over the passing highway, and the lyrics of Sade's "Paradise" floated like wind through the open windows of the car, on this particularly beautiful day, the clouds were flung carelessly into the blue-and-orange sky in vain. Likewise, the melodies that would have usually pacified him did nothing more than plunge him deeper and deeper into darkness. The wind wasn't soothing; instead, it was rough and heavy. Like the lines on the highway, his mind raced. How in the hell did I let this happen, he thought. Lord ... Lord ... Lord. Unable to find any other words that matched what he felt, he fought back tears. "Dear Lord ... I know I'm no saint. Lord, I know I haven't always done right. I know ... I know ... I know ...," he whispered more to himself than to God. "Please save me, Lord ... please save me." He stopped, chest rising and falling deeply. "Lord, I promise I'll change." The wind smeared a single tear across his cheek.
Soon, his eyes blurred with tears. His mind became a movie projector on which the last several years played over and over-reexamining every decision he had made, every thought, every intention, every option. He felt he had been stalked, chased, pursued by some creature or thing that he had tried to outrun, but had always caught him, and brought him back to the same place. Tears flowed; his breath caught. He cranked the music high trying to escape to someplace deeper where he could hide ... disappear. In the sound, his stomach turned; he wanted to ball himself into a knot and explode. "I don't know why I'm tripping." He took a deep breath trying to calm himself, then he stopped. "Have faith ... have faith," he told himself. "Lord, please ...," he pleaded.
He had almost convinced himself that everything would be all right, and the squeezing in his chest had almost become butterflies when the blue-and-white lights of a police car snatched him back to reality. He pulled over and waited.
Staring through the rearview mirror, he remembered the bar-it had been his refuge, an escape, but now there was none. He remembered the stranger at the bar. He had been so intriguing-sweet eye-candy, lust personified-but now he was tortured by his memory. He remembered the wink that had lured him in and left him with more than he could handle; remembered all the songs that played on all the different occasions that had led here. He remembered the bliss-unrestrained, careless bliss that made him close his eyes and forget ... curtains that flailed in the night wind out onto the balcony, and the bed beside which they flew. He remembered, vividly, the blinding euphoria that made him see stars ... that arched his back and curled his toes. He saw breasts. He remembered how soft they were. Why, why, why, he asked himself, and then he saw the legs-bowed and hairy-ones he would never forget though he had tried so many times. He remembered "accidentally" rubbing his legs across them just so he could feel the tickle of his hair and warmth of his flesh after he came in through the window and lay under the fan; remembered his father; heard the rasp and growl from the pulpit again. The words burned deeply in his memory, and then he felt the fire well up in his throat. Hate. More tears came. He must've been right, he thought to himself, remembering all the things his father hadn't said but had made very clear by his actions. And now the police.
Jericho stared at the officer's shoes in the rearview mirror as he approached the car. He studied the shoe string on the left shoe that needed to be tied. Mindlessly, he gazed, not noticing when the officer reached his window, slightly startled when he began to talk. "Sir, do you have any idea how fast you were going?" Still in a daze, he half responded, his face tear soaked, eyes red. Sitting in his car on this beautiful day, now emotionless, speechless, in another world, and with no recollection of the last ten minutes of driving let alone how fast he had been going, he looked briefly at the officer, who, disturbed by Jericho's appearance, lost his breath. And by the time Jericho realized the officer had let him off, driven away, and he was about to drive off himself, he prayed God, too, would spare him.
Before he pulled back onto the highway, his phone rang. He already knew who it was.
"Where in the hell are you?" The message flashed across the screen. Jericho looked at his phone, but he didn't respond. It pissed him off, because he knew that they both knew, and why she needed to hear it from an old white man, he couldn't understand. Shame and anger set him ablaze, and, if he picked up the phone, she would pay, so he wasn't sure if he would answer.
His ringing phone broke into the silence again, and, before the passing highway, he saw the wall he had stared at a few days before when he lay back on the hospital bed, and he knew she stared at him from the other side of the bed. He could feel her gaze after the doctor left, already knowing what he knew she knew now. Again, the phone ripped him from his brief daydream, and he looked at the number again before finally answering.
"Hello," he answered-no emotion.
"Where in the hell are? You were supposed to be here ten minutes ago!" She had planned the anger. At first he didn't answer. "Hello ... hello ... Jericho!" she yelled. "You bring your ass here and now." The anger, very clear in her voice, and then he broke down again.
"Mama, I know, I already know." She could hear his tears, his gasping for air. Immediately, she became angry. She wanted to tell him to be a man, that he should have thought about the consequences beforehand-in her mind comparing him to his father, making an assumption that she just knew to be true though she had no proof. But, as he cried, she heard a baby, her only son, her only baby, and it silenced both her and her anger. "Ma, I know. I already know, Ma," he bawled-raw, uncontrolled sobs, desperate heaves for air, gargling sniffles to keep the tears under control. She still could find no words. She listened, waited-on what, she didn't know, but she waited. "Mama, I gonna die."
Finally, she spoke. "You don't know that," she said solemnly, trying to hide the shock of the statement, too, trying to gather her thoughts. "You don't know that. Don't talk crazy." She had to catch a tear that ran down her cheek. "Just come. I'll be here waiting. You just come." She hoped he could find the comfort that she wanted him to have, but she couldn't find the strength to give as she heard his labored breaths on the other end. He said nothing. "Jericho ..." He didn't answer. "Jericho, you have to come and see. I'm going to be right here waiting when you come, but you have to come. Not knowing," she stopped, choosing her words carefully, "isn't going to make it any better. And how much better would it feel to know?" Deep down, she didn't believe her own words. Jericho checked his rearview mirror for traffic and pulled his car back onto the highway.
"Okay, Mama" He replied, ending the call, not believing her words either.
Chapter Two
EpiphanyJuly 9, 1991 12:48 PM
Her breasts reminded him of Hershey's Kisses ... with little sausages for nipples. And the sight of them, combined with the thought of actual sausages attached to skin-all salty and greasy-made the saliva thicken and become stale in his mouth, and he almost spit on the floor. There was no lusty urge to taste them or desire to caress them. His sex didn't grow watching them jiggle, as she-Tanya, his cousin-struggled out of her shirt and into her nightgown. Something else happened.
When she climbed under the sheets, his eyes remained riveted to the place where those breasts had been. He had never seen them before; they grabbed his eyes and would not let them go, and left them there even after they were gone. And, in their absence on the blank sheet that lay hanging from the top of the bunk bed down over the bottom, he stared in a daze through it, watching breasts grow on his chest, watching hair fall past his shoulders, watching the lump between his legs disappear. And then, in the doorway behind him, appeared a boy-the light-skinned one who always came by for Tanya and made the bed bang against the wall when everyone left and only she and Jordan were there alone-a day like this one.
This time, however, Jordan had his full attention; this time, the disgust was gone; this time, he was there for Jordan ... and his breasts ... his breasts. He had to think it twice because the thought sounded so ridiculous the first time that he needed to hear it again to be sure it wasn't a mistake, but it wasn't. They (the breasts) were there and now, Jordan could go behind the door with this boy, and see everything that he had only been able to imagine before; he didn't have to sit out on the couch listening, or sneak to the door and lie on the floor with his eyes near the crack trying to see under it. The boy could lie between his legs, and he did right there on that sheet hanging down from the top bunk of that bunk bed, just as he had every other time Jordan lay on his cousin's couch listening, watching, daydreaming with his mouth closed and eyes frozen-as they were now. The girls didn't see the thoughts swimming in his mind when they talked about the men on television and how sexy they were, or the man next door who always washed his car shirtless in mesh shorts and no underwear so that his dick swung, or when they discussed how big a boy's dick had to be, how big the ones were that they had already had, and what they would and had already done with them. They didn't see the breasts grow and everything else disappear. Just like now. Tanya moved about under the sheets in the house unaware.
"Hurry up, baby," she called out in a whimsical, girly, playing-house, sort of way. Does she not feel it too? he thought.
"Okay," he replied, despite the tension in his throat and the nasty spit in his mouth that he had to swallow. Moments like this one were the ones that commenced the exposure of his dysfunction, that lay bare the backwardness of his existence. These were the moments in which everything that was supposed to be natural to him seemed distorted, awkward, and unnatural. And this feeling-this consciousness of a dysfunction-was not new; it had never been as clear as it was now-and it was still very murky-but it had always existed. Long before he knew what he felt or that it was wrong, he felt it. He felt like this, and, as unnatural and uncomfortable as it was, and though he was determined to try, he could feel no other way.
Many days he studied it-these breasts; this thing. Until now, he never quite understood what he was studying, was never able to pinpoint what it was, but it was there, just as it was now, in the space where her breasts had been-alive, only on the sheet and in his mind; clear, yet as abstract and undefined as ever. There was no denying the elephant (that's what it felt like ... how obvious it seemed now), the apparently invisible one in the room that everyone could see, but some simply chose to ignore; the one he carried with him everywhere; the secret that he was positive everyone else knew, but he needed to hide anyway; the one he needed to replace with a lie that didn't feel like this, that wasn't so obvious, that didn't need to be hidden. If he had just looked up or around, he would have seen that it wasn't an issue of people seeing or not seeing, but that most people simply didn't care enough to even be looking. If he had looked up and around, he would have seen that the elephant wasn't as big or startling as he feared, that the breasts were only a figment of his imagination, but he was too busy trying to hide them-trying to hide it-too busy looking down to see.
This wasn't the why though. This wasn't why his eyes wouldn't move, why they had stopped, why he was staring at the sheet. When he knew-really knew-that there was something wrong, when there was no longer just a feeling, but substance. When he realized how much harder it was to hide them than to deal with imagining that they were there. That was the part that messed him up, the part that made him see things the way they really were, and it wasn't that he hadn't seen before-who he was supposed to be, how he was supposed to act ... that he was a boy, and that breasts, and all that came with it was for girls ... that the two didn't match the way he had them. He knew that. That was why he was about to climb under the sheets into the house, why he was staring at the place where her breasts had been, why his heart was beating fast.
"Jordan! What are you doing?" Tanya yelled from under the sheets, snatching his eyes abruptly from the place where her breasts had been. He looked toward the opening.
"I'm coming," he said, realizing he had to pee, but he didn't move. He just stared through the opening in the hanging sheet into the bottom bunk of the bed-the bedroom of the house-and in the blankness of the white sheet again he remembered, and there they were.
He could see them-booty popping, hands swinging in and out, throwing their hips and little asses as hard as they could. Then Jordan was in a split, trying to break his back-forehead wet, back soaked-to the bass and the snare of Luke's "Birthday song," and the swirling disco lights on the skating rink that was now a dance floor. The crowd grew. Jordan's heart beat to the tempo, and as the crowd converged, he, Tanya, and Ebone, his cousins, rolled their hips and gyrated, heads rocking, eyes rolling, lips twisting, song after song until the music stopped. And, as they walked across the rink to turn in the skates that they had carried for the last twenty minutes, he found himself standing alone near the wall by the lockers where all the boys who were too cool to dance stood while everyone else danced. A few feet from him, Tanya's booty was cupped in some yellow boy's hands-Jordan imagined it was his-and Ebone's mouth flapped, and her head rolled at his friend.
"Shantaye!" Jordan heard from somewhere behind him. The boy holding Tanya's booty smiled, and Jordan noticed that he was staring at him. "Shantaye!" Jordan heard again, and now the boy Ebone was rolling her neck to turn too, and Jordan didn't understand why the boy burst into laughter or the blankness that briefly filled his cousins' faces. "Shantaye!" The voice was now loud and persistent, and now the boy who had held Tanya's booty,Tanya, the boy Ebone had rolled her neck at, and Ebone all were clearly staring at him. The boys were laughing, and Ebone and Tanya's pensive smiles confused him. "Shantaye!" the voice from behind him called again, and finally Jordan turned. "Can I have your number?" Three boys stood across the rink from him; one making his hands into a megaphone and smiling, the other holding his stomach laughing, and the other booty popping just as Jordan had. Jordan struggled to process it all; he scanned all of them. At first, he stared at the tall one in the middle with the dark face and white teeth who just laughed. "Baby, you not gon' give me yo number?" the shorter, more stocky one making a megaphone with his hand yelled again, looking toward the shortest one, who appeared to be about Jordan's age, who was now in a split "perculating"-in a split, popping his booty-imitating Jordan, and doubled over in laughter. Too shocked to move at first, Jordan just watched, and it seemed that everyone in the rink was laughing.

Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the “Buy now” button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.
(4) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
(3) If you are a businessman, the following conditions also apply:
a) We retain ownership of the goods until all the claims arising from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. The goods subject to retention of title may not be pledged or transferred by way of security before ownership of the said goods changes hands.
b) You can re-sell the goods within the framework of an orderly transaction. In this regard, you hereby cede all the claims amounting to the magnitude of the billing amount that accrue to you as a result of the re-selling operation to us, and we accept the cession. Furthermore, you are authorised to collect the claim in question. However, insofar as you do not discharge your payment obligations in an orderly fashion, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.
c) In a situation involving the combination and amalgamation of the goods subject to retention of title, we acquire co-ownership of the newly-formed item. This co-ownership corresponds to the ratio that exists between the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title and the other processed items at the time of processing.
d) If you make a request of this nature, we shall be obligated to release the securities that are due to us, to the extent that the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. We are responsible for selecting the securities to be released.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
(4)
Insofar as you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply in deviation from the above warranty provisions:
a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.

If the rectification of defects fails, you may, at your option, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects shall be deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the goods or the defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be obliged to bear the increased costs arising from the transport of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, unless such transport is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.
c) The warranty period shall be one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the period shall not apply
- for culpable damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- in the case of items which have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness;
- in the case of statutory rights of recourse that you may assert against us in connection with rights arising from defects.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are explicitly inapplicable.

The processing will occur on the basis of Article 6(1) b) GDPR and is required for the fulfilment of a contract with you.
Your data is transferred here for example to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers, payment service providers, service providers for handling the order and IT service providers that you have selected. We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every case. The scope of data transmission is restricted to a minimum.
Duration of storage
After contractual processing has been completed, the data is initially stored for the duration of the warranty period, then in accordance with the retention periods prescribed by law, especially tax and commercial law, and then deleted after the period has elapsed, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.
Rights of the affected person
If the legal requirements are fulfilled, you have the following rights according to art. 15 to 20 GDPR: Right to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability. You also have a right of objection against processing based on art. 6 (1) GDPR, and to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, according to art. 21 (1) GDPR.
Right to complain to the regulatory authority
You have the right to complain to the regulatory authority according to art. 77 GDPR if you believe that your data is not being processed legally.
Right to object
If the data processing outlined here is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)f) GDPR, you have the right for reasons arising from your particular situation to object at any time to the processing of your data with future effect.
If the objection is successful, we will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests or rights and freedoms, or the processing is intended for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
