Jennifer finished her school day and went straight back to her home. The house looked normal. Nothing was out of place. The tomorrow's thing was going to be a hoax right? There was no way that there was a "celebration" or such similar event that would cause everyone to become mindless animals. There had to be something that reduced your sexual urges. Like an antidote or a similar pill if someone didn’t want to participate for the sexual activities.
Jennifer went straight to ask from her mother what was her opinion of the whole matter as it seemed fishy.
“Mom? My friends at school told me that tomorrow is some sort of weird day. I was wondering if you could have explained what they meant by it?” Jennifer asked from her mother who was watching the news.
“Weird day? Oh. It's that time of the year again. I completely forgot that it’s tomorrow.” Jennifer’s mother acted as if she didn’t even know.
“So it's true? All the people in Glendale are going to become sex-driven monsters?” Jennifer asked with a hint of worry in her eye.
“Deary. First of all. It’s going to last for a week and it’s treated like any other national holiday. Second. Everybody’s going to participate in it.” Chloe explained. “I understand that you have your worries but you are still too young to have your ‘heat’.”
“My what now?” Jennifer asked as she heard the word and was confused what her mother meant by it.
“Heat. You know. The feel to reproduce with someone. You understand once you get to college and then it’s down hill from there. Trust me. I know.” Jennifer’s mother laughed as if she knew what was going to happen.
“How about my friends. What if they get their ‘heat’ earlier and I’m stuck in an awkward situation?” Jennifer asked from her mother.
“Then just don’t go to school. It’s that simple.” Chloe shook her head.
“...but my friends told me about this public celebration that was going to take place. What’s up with that? I can’t say no to them.” Jennifer explained to her mother.
“Well. Some are going and some aren’t. It’s not that hard.” Chloe replied back as if Jennifer’s inquiry was annoying her. “Your mom’s going to be there and if you are leaving behind. That’s your own choice. Did you have anything else in your mind?”
Jennifer sighed and acted as if she got everything she needed from her mother. Chloe continued watching TV as Jennifer ascended the stairs back to her own room. She couldn’t imagine her mom attending such horrific event but as she said after she got ‘the heat’ she must have changed. The loving mother was feeling more defeatist and aloof than understanding and caring as she was yesterday. Jennifer couldn’t imagine what ‘the heat’ meant for her but what ever it was. It was bad for sure when it happened. Jennifer opened her school books and begun to study and do her algebra homework as she was doing her freshman year math. Jennifer believed that she was decent at it but still felt that she had to really try to understand what she was reading.
Some time passed and Jennifer got her homework done in time. Chloe shouted from downstairs that food was ready and that Jennifer should join for a dinner with her. She exited her room and noticed in the kitchen that the dinner they was more exotic than it ever had been. Lamb. Not just lamb dish but a whole lamb. Chloe had prepare a half of a lamb serving for Jennifer and herself and she was offering some blood pancakes as an additional dish on the side. Jennifer has had lamb before but not in this form. It was weird seeing the whole lamb served in front of her including the icky parts that she wouldn’t normally eat. This time it felt more natural to eat them too. As if she had always eaten them. Some of them tasted alright but overall the food was great and fulfilling. Jennifer feeling satisfied with her first day decided to go to sleep early. It was 7pm and she would fall asleep with her T-shirt and panties on. Not sure what kind of day tomorrow was going to be as Jennifer closed her eyes.
