      About Samuel D. Burud

      Polyphemus Rises

      A sigh gently sang forth from full red lips. Jamari Coleman responded. He embraced a soft, graceful hourglass figure beside him in his fifth story studio flat in the bowels of Tokyo. But he couldn't recall the figure's name. That didn't stop him. Jamari whispered playfully past a sea of dark flat hair and into the woman’s welcoming ear.

      But the ear shuddered, unprepared. No, it violently jolted backwards.

      What? the woman gasped in Japanese.

      Her graceful body broke free from Jamari’s hands and abruptly sat upright. The woman shielded everything under the neckline with a blue bedsheet as though waking from her nakedness. Jamari looked at her lovely narrow eyelids, now constricted, downcast, indignant. Like somebody threw her lovely hourglass and all that contained therein to the floor in rejection. Revealing its hundred or so pieces. Shattered. Scattered.

      A pale hand fell vengefully down on Jamari’s dark brown cheek. He accepted it.

      I’m just happy I never gave you my number at Comiket, the woman exclaimed, reaching for her shoes.

      Phone number? Jamari couldn't even bring the woman's name to the surface. But that wasn't half the problem.

      He tried explaining his words, his whispers. The degraded figure wrapped in the blue sheet hurriedly picked up the fragments of the previous night’s body binge: a bra, skirt, blouse. And those hundred shattered pieces. Jamari’s pleadings bounced off the demoralized figure stomping into the restroom. A moment later, the woman emerged, fully clothed, speeding for the flat’s front door.

      Goodbye, she said swiftly.

      The flat’s door slammed shut. The shamed man’s open palms sank to the top of the bed’s comforter.

      Damn, Jamari groaned, letting his bare back plummet against two down pillows.

      His disgusted glance drifted. It fell on the dining table 30 feet ahead, where two bento boxes of maguro and noodles and several Sapporo
