The Greatest Lie Ch. 01

This is a repost of my first story. A sketch scenario. You can laugh or cry. Our anti-hero, Johnny, is a wimp trying to man up. A book changed his life. Here starts his Odyssey. If you don't get it yet it's a satire.

First scene

The living room of a medium house. Twin sisters, both hot young wives are relaxing on a sofa.

Leisure for women: fine drinks, cigarettes, and idle chat.

Chores for men. Modern times, duh!

Cindy: "Johnny is the biggest liar, pretends that monogamy exists..."

Marlene (ballistic): "Monogamy is a forbidden word in our times. We have to take revenge for the past when women were oppressed."

They summoned husbands who came in a hurry.

Hubbies groveled.

Cindy (with discontent): "You can speak now, but keep it short."

Johnny attempts to look at her.

Cindy (irritated) "Don't stare at me, cuck. Keep your eyes down."

Johnny nodded, then answered: "I came across a dusted book at antiquary, that old building in the dark alley..."

Marlene's (growling ) "I can't fathom what a sane person could find there."

Eddie, Marlene's sub-hubby (sycophant): "Yeah, I always run home for my chores, no time to waste. I love to pamper you."

Marlene patted him like a good pet.

Cindy: "Johnny had lost the last bit of discernment." (short pause) "Anyway, is worse what he pretends, that a certain Penelope waited for her husband for years being chaste, despite a large number of wooers. Also, she was very attractive and wealthy, so she could satisfy all her whims."

The two women burst into laughs, something like this was unthinkable, in the 3rd Millennium chastity is reserved for men.

Marlene: "Nice try cuck, but you fool no one."

Johnny (looking at the floor): "Sorry Ma'am. I read an illustrated book for children, about a man from old times, Ulysses, a cunning navigator hero. Maybe you remember him from "Troy", the movie starring Brad Pitt.

Marlene (cackling): "I only remember Brad's bravery." (short pause) "But you, Cindy, deluded me, you should've said it was only a fairy tale, such women never existed."

Cindy: "I know..."

Marlene: "Why haven't you bought that book, to show us proof?"

John (embarrassed): "How could I?"

Cindy (amused): "Once in a while, you ask silly questions, Marlene. Our husbands never have money on them, they could easily waste them on trifles."

Marlene: "Sorry, I should've remembered they are like children ... they never grow up!" (short pause) "But, that was an instructive story, we learned what laziness could do with a male mind, driving him to mutiny. You were too kind to him, Cindy. He shouldn't have time to idle around. Not at this shop, he was supposed to be, but at home, there are a lot of chores waiting to be done."

Second scene

Cindy lectures and spanks Johnny in the living room, as usual, under Marlene's and Ed's eyes. He was reduced to tears.

Cindy: "Keep your lies to yourself. Faithful women never existed. We are entitled to fuck around. You and Eddie are lucky to orally service us, we are superior beings."

Third scene (fast motion)

Marlene: "Hurry up! We can't linger, our lovers got no patience!"

Their subs prepared them for a wild night.

Cindy gave them a list of additional chores.

Eddie nodded. Johnny shrugged.

The wives left the house, wearing their sexy miniskirts and high-heels.

Fourth scene

Johnny: "Please believe me, once upon of time there were only alpha men." (He sighed). "Happy times, no cleaners to put you down, and AIDS didn't exist."

Eddie (convinced): "Now it's better, I have nothing to worry about, my life is cozy, I do what Marlene says and that's all. Our wives are generous, allowing us to work all day for their benefit, otherwise, we were useless. We aren't savages, but superior beings with satisfied wives. We live in heaven, our wives still respect us, keeping away their affairs. We should be grateful to their lovers, they do what we can't."

Johnny (pensive): "Maybe that Penelope was only a myth. I know Homer was a blind guy, he could never witness her deeds. But this still eats me up. Maybe our wives are wrong. Maybe monogamy still exists. I have to find out. I have to ask around."

Eddie (shocked): "Heresy! From now on I will never speak with you fool!"

Final scene:

Marlene and her lover sit in front of the curtain.

Marlene: "Have you heard about anyone named Ulysses?"

Him:" Sure. Ulysses S. Grant, really a hero, but never a navigator. And his wife was indeed a pious woman, but her name was Julia. That wimp talks bullshit. Anyway, you are a modern woman, you have no reason to think about this Penelope."

Marlene (convinced) "Come and fuck me!"
