“You’re holding up the line, buddy! Get moving!” A big guy said as he shoved Colin past the red velvet ropes and into a podium.
“You have your ticket, sir?” The museum worker asked.
“He’s with me.” Zoya said as she took his hand and lead him down the hallway to the huge sign above the exhibit:
“LOST: Extinction in the Age of Humans”
“Okay, walk up to the sign annnd smile!” Zoya grinned as she readied her cellphone.
Colin softly grinned as his girlfriend took a picture.
“Alright, let’s go.” Zoya said as she clung to her boyfriend.
The exhibit was pretty high end for the Lakeside Natural History Museum. Animatronics mixed with audio and visual effects to show the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō letting out it’s haunting call in the Hawaiian rainforest, the last Tasmanian Tiger pacing in it’s cage, the Atlas Bear and Barbary Lion roaring in the colosseums of Rome, and the last Xerces blue fluttering over the flowers of 1940’s San Francisco… Zoya made sure to get photos of every single thing.
“Oh oh oh, there it is!” Zoya smiled as she pointed to one specific exhibit.
The scene was set up as a swamp in India, and in a pond at the center, a Pink-headed duck robotically ruffled its feathers.
“Come on, come on, take a picture!” Zoya grinned.
“We’ve been taking pictures the whole time we were here, can we just enjoy the moment please?” Colin asked.
“Just one more and I promise I’ll stop!” Zoya said, “Pretty please? My Grandpa spent years of his life looking for a living one.”
“Okay, okay…” Colin sighed as he made a goofy looking face and pointed at the mechanical fowl.
“Come on, I was serious about my grandpa.” Zoya sternly frowned.
Colin got flustered and turned his pose into something more inquisitive.
“Better.” Zoya said as she snapped the picture.
***********************************************
“I texted the girls the pics, waiting to see what they say.” Zoya said as she took a bite of her food court strawberry balsamic salad, “Especially Mrs. ‘Some lame ass kid’s exhibit?’”
“Good Lucy impression… don’t tell her I said that.” Colin said as he took a bite of his greasy cheapo burger wondering how this lunch was fifty six dollars. “I have to go to the bathroom…”
“Okay, don’t forget that we’re meeting up with my Mom in an hour!” Zoya called.
Colin washed his hands with a content humming.
“Man, today was great, I don’t know what I was worried about…” he said as he bent down to splash his face with some water.
His eyes opened to a gleaming pink gaze inches away from his face.
“Hey what the fu-?!” Colin started as the strange woman forced her tongue into his mouth and pinned him against the toilet.
************************************************
About fifty minutes had passed.
Suddenly there was a ding.
“He’d better have a good explanation for this…” Zoya said she picked up her phone.
It wasn’t Colin.
Lori: Hey Zoya, who’s your friend?
Zoya: My friend?
Lori: Behind Colin.
“What is she talking about?” Zoya said as she started scrolling through her her pictures.
Then she saw her.
In the picture of Colin roaring back at the extinct lion, there was a woman with eerie pink eyes blankly staring at him.
Lori: Zoya?
Zoya: I just saw the pic, I don’t really know who that is
Lori: THE pic? Zoya, she’s in ALL of them.
“What the fuck?” Zoya whispered.
Lori was right; this creepy lady with the pink glowing eyes was in EVERY SINGLE PHOTO, getting closer with every one up to the pink headed duck where she could straight up sniff the back of his head.
“Zoya honey is everything alright?” Her mother asked, “Where’s your boyfriend?”
“I need to go.” Zoya said.
“What?” Her mother asked.
“I need to go find Colin right now!!!” Zoya shouted as she ran out of the food court.
That was when she noticed a long line gathered outside the men’s room.
“Hey, are you DONE IN THERE?!” The man from the line yelled, “It’s been an hour!!!!”
Zoya eyes suddenly had a pink glow of their own as she rushed the door and kicked it wide open.
Right there was the woman from the pictures, forcing Colin’s hands over her breasts as she rode his cock feverishly.
“Zoya, what’s going on, why are you kicking down-“ Mrs McAllen said as she looked into the bathroom.
************************************************
“Yeah, so now my whole family thinks I’ve been in the closet this whole time.” Zoya huffed as she started chugging one of Wendy’s Seagrams.
“But how could you have a job and go do stuff if you’re like, in a closet all the time?” Jamie asked.
“They think Zoya and Lori are dating.” Wendy said.
“And it’s ALL HER FAULT!” Zoya shouted.
Wendy looked over to the new girl kissing along Colin’s neck as he sat there reaching for Zoya. Unfortunately Dr. McAllen wasn’t in the mood for one of Colin’s house calls.
“Why’d you have to come to my place to rant about it?” Wendy asked, turning to Colin “Who is she anyway?”
Her name was…
