Continued from last week.....
Now she spoke in a vapor tone of voice, "Zelma.' Zelma stood up,
looked around at all of the fellow participants with a big smile on her
face and walked rapidly to the top of the mound. She was Afro-American.
Zelma was no more than a straight stick. She had no shape at all.
Her bra and bloomers that she was wearing were black with dazzling
sequins all over them.
Dr. Sybil looked at her for a moment. She must have realized how
shapeless Zelma was. She popped her on her buttocks with her left
hand. Zelma's buttocks increased in size a small amount. After five or
six pops, her buttocks were out to a normal size.
Zelma now stood there with normal buttocks, but with a miniature
bust. Dr. Sybil began to massage them, and they began to swell. She
must have realized the size of the bra and stopped immediately. She
reached into the trunk and produced two pieces of cloth. With small
latch pines, she increased the size of the bra by a godly amount. Dr.
Sybil then continued to massage her bust until they became the size of
cantaloupes.
Zelma was now well proportioned, and looked very attractive. "Oh
my God. Dr. Sybil turned to her and removed her top two front teeth.
Dr. Sybil placed her hand on Zelma's shoulder. The two of them smiled
at each other for a moment. After the big smiles, Zelma went back to her
seat.
With increased volume, Dr. Sybil echoed the name, "Notch!" Notch
stood up and walked to the top of the mound.
One thing I had noticed about Dr. Sybil was she would not have any
kind of response to the participants as they approached the top of the
mound. She would not bow or offer any kind of response, except to
stand there and smile gracefully.
Notch was an Italian with a physique out of this world. He was the
first male participant who did not wear boxer shorts. His skimpy shorts
were a silver color with a small hole in the seat of them. I looked at Dr.
Sybil with my right eye, but she showed no different response, except
to smile lovely.
Notch had a head and chest full of black hair. He was a handsome
man except he had an extraordinary large nose.
Dr. Sybil took her left hand and rubbed Notch's chest for a moment
or two. Every hair on his chest disappeared. After all the hair disappeared,
there were left two large protruding breasts. This was quite
unusual to appear on a man. Darn if Dr. Sybil touched each one for a
moment and they became even larger. She turned slowly and reached
into the trunk and brought out a bra As Notch stood there she gracefully
and with perfect precision placed the bra on his body.
1 thought to myself, to take a man with such a beautiful and masculine
body and do this to him, I don't believe it.
Dr. Sybil took her right hand and placed it over Notch's nose. In
about three seconds, she removed her hand Oh my God. I didn't
believe what I saw. His nose was about the size of a peanut. She
reached into his mouth and pulled his two top and two lower teeth.
With such a lovely smile she threw them into the trunk.
Dr. Sybil took Notch by his left hand, squeezed it for a moment,
released it and Notch went back to his seat.
After what happened up to this point, I wanted to see the expression
on the faces of the participants. Each and everyone of them had the
most tranquil smile Their smiles revealed no hostility or remorse. I
took an inventory of myself Darn if I wasn't sitting there with the
biggest smile imaginable. 1 had lost all sense of time 1 felt no anxiety. I
was relaxed and writing like crazy.
"Bunny!" Dr. Sybil said with a voice of authority. A huge Caucasian
lady stood up Bunny could easily have weighed three hundred pounds
or more She lumbered up to the top of the mound, turned around and
faced her fellow participants
Bunny had on a pair of old, faded, red and white polka dot bloomers.
On her left side, the side next to me, there was a rip down the side. She
had closed the top of the rip with a four inch latch pin. I really don't
know if the latch pin also helped to hold up bloomers. Her bra was a
coarse type of cloth It was a faded blue. She had the largest boobs I
had ever seen Bunny 's hair was a dirty brown color and hung down to
her shoulders
Upon close observation of Bunny, you got the impression that under
ordinary circumstances she didn't give a darn about anything
Boy! What a beautiful smile she was wearing.
Down in my stomach I wanted to laugh so badly but the only thing
I could do was to continue smiling
Dr. Sybil stood for a moment or two looking Bunny over Dr. Sybil
them crossed over to the other side and stood for a moment. She had
not done this with any of her other participants. I did not know if it
were a bigger challenger or indignation on her part
With a graceful movement. Dr Sybil went to the trunk and took out a
beautiful pink ribbon She fastened it in Bunny's hair The ribbon did
not match her bloomers Dr Sybil took her left hand and rubbed across
Bunny's mouth As she did all of Bunny's front teeth were removed,
except one in the top and one in the bottom. With great care and ease,
she placed them in the trunk
I must admit seeing Bunny standing there, weighing around three
hundred pounds, red and white polka dot bloomers on, a pink ribbon
in her hair, only two teeth showing and a million dollar smile I had
cramps in my stomach from wanting to burst into laughter But really
the only thing I could produce was the smile I had been wearing all
afternoon If this was happening to me. I wondered how the rest of the
participants were reacting to this scene With my left eye I watched
the participants I could sec no signs of emotion whatsoever In fact
during the entire performance, they had shown no emotion. They would
not even look at the participant as they left their seat or when thev
returned
I
Dr. Sybil after placing ihc teeih in the trunk, walked around to the
front of Bunny, stopped and stood for a moment She then took a
finger on her right hand and pushed on Bunnv's left breast. Show then
took a finger on her left hand and pushed on her right breast With my
own eyes 1 began to see her breast shrink. Dr.,. Sybil repeated the
process one more time. I'd swear Bunny's bra fell off her boobs onto
the top of her stomach. Bunny's boobs retreated to the size o baseballs.
Dr Sybil walked around to the back of Bunny and stopped for a
second She then took her right hand and slapped heron her buttocks
When Dr. Sybil slapped her, Bunny let out the loudest noise. Soon as
this loud noise was made, there was a big disturbing cackle from the
back row, the last eat on the right. Occupying this seat as an Oriental
gentleman.
This was the only sound that had been made other than Dr Sybil's
since the performance had begun.
None of the participants looked around to see who had cackled.
They stared straight ahead to where Dr. Sybil was standing. Dr. Sybil
showed no sign of a change in her composure I thought I would bunt,
but I could not make a sound
Dr Sybil with a pause of three or four seconds, said sweetly and
softly, "Wung." The participant who stood up was the same one who
had let out the cackle. Wung walked brisklv to the top of the mound,
turned quickly and faced the participants.
Wung was short and very heavy The way he looked and moved, he
gave the impression that he might have been a wrestler. He was wearing
mild, white boxer shorts. But as he walked up the mound, I noticed
he had a tad of yellowish substance on the seat of them.
Wung was almost back, with just a small patch of hair at the back of
his head He also had a very large nose, which must have been broken
in the past. It was bent and twisted to the left on his face.
Dr. Sybil reached into the trunk and took out the rest of Eagle
Feather 's hair. She placed it on the bald spot of Wung's head. She gave
it a soft pat with her left hand and it blended in perfectly with the rest
of his hair. She took her right hand and placed it over his nose. She
must have left it there three seconds. When she removed her hand,
Wung's nose was as flat as a sidewalk. Dr. Sybil then placed her left
hand over his left eye and her right hand over his right eye. She nodded
her head four times, then removed her hands. Wung's left eye was
looking left, his right eye was looking right.
Then Dr. Sybil backed three feet away from him. She was standing on
Wung's left. He could see herbecause his left eye was looking left. Dr.
Sybil nodded twice. Wung turned his head and looked directly at Dr.
Sybil, let out a big cackle, turned and went back to his seat.
I could not understand why she didn't slap him on the shoulder or
buttocks.
Dr. Sybil stood for at least a minute without any kind of movement.
Then with a mystical glide she was standing at the foot of the mound.
She raised her two arms and then placed her hands on her chest. With
a ghostly echo she said, "Participants, what I do, I can undo."
"A crap. I've heard that before," I said to myself.
"I heard that. You write."
I glanced at my writing pad for a second. When I looked up she was
standing on top of the mound. She stood for a minute looking bade and
forth at her participants.
With a voice of pure exhaustion, she half whispered the name "Sol!"
From the front right, a very tall participant stood up. Darn! I hadn't
seen this participant before. Sol walked gracefully to the top of the
mound and turned to face his fellow participants.
Sol was wearing tight fitting bathing trunks They were a bright
yellow in color, with a gold buckled belt.
Dr. Sybil looked at him for a moment. At this particular time, Sol
walked gracefully to the top of the mound and turned to face his fellow
participants.
Sol was wearing tight fitting bathing trunks. They were a bright
yellow in color, with a gold buckled belt.
Dr. Sybil looked at him for a moment. At this particular time, Sol was
much taller than Dr. Sybil. She took off his belt with the golden buckle, ,
and threw it in the trunk. With almost the same motion she pulled from
the trunk some red yam. She made Sol a belt out of red yam.
In an instant, Dr. Sybil was standing in back of Sol and was the same
height as he.
Dr. Sybil placed her hands on Sol's shoulders. She began to press
down on him. As she did, Sol began to become shorter and shorter.
During the entire performance she on occasion would only look at
me and smile.
As she pressed down on Sol she turned her face to me and gave me
a big wink. I swear, when this happened, I awoke!
Letters to the Editor
Long time Indian prisoner
believes he is subject of
discrimination by DOC
To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Cardell
Spaulding. 1 am Lumbee Indian
from the Burnt Swamp
Community, near Union Chapel
School I am currently housed at
the Troy. N.C. Correctional
Institution. I am 65 years of age
and in grade "c" health. I desperately
need any and all the help I
can get in regards to the fairest
possible treatment to inmates,
such as medical treatment , custody
review, parole eligibility' and
medium custody. I am being
housed in maximum and close
custody and segregated lock-up
for a period of 27 years. As we all
know, the department of corrections
has a long history of discrimination
against the Native
Americans. I've been incarcerated
since 1969, approximately 34
years..At the beginning of my
sentence in July 1969, I will
admit that after getting my 20 to
30 years sentence in progress, I
was involved in some serious
charges. In 1974, Vernon R.
Walters and I was charged with
First degree murder and tne
results from this charge . the
judge gave us each deatn sentences
in Halifax Superior
Court Mr. Walters, who is white,
is now off segregated lock-up,
living in population and in minimum
custody. He didn't do 5
years of segregated lock-up time
I have been held on segregation
for 16 years, taken off in 1988.
Since then, I've been put back on
segregation, where I am at present.
The prison administration
has informed me that they are
thinking of leaving me on segregated
lock down, " indefinitely." I
am putting my mercy in the care
of whom it may concern. The
only infractions I've had against
me in the past 25 years has come
from other inmates and in
exchange, they would get special
privileges from the prison administration.
Some of the inmates
have filed statements against me
that I didn't know about.
