Thanks to his overindulging, bodacious, blunt, and courageous street-walking mother, Silky, a blue-eyed, charming, talented, quick witted pimp is determined to leave his mark as a menace on as many whores as possible. After his brief stint of singing with The Determinations, Silky is convinced that he will colonize and conquer the competition--everybody. Yet, despite his supreme arrogance and towering personality, he discovers that a pimp is the biggest whore on the planet.
Excerpt from The Mark of Fortune Seldom Favors a Fool (Book 2 of The Menace Memoirs)
Someone in the background shouted, “Two dollars? Hell, I’ll take a shot of that two-dollar pussy.”
Another voice echoed, “Me too.”
Meanwhile, mom stood up in his face and snapped, “Why don’t you do me a two-dollar favor and shut the fuck up drunk bitch?” She turned her cup up and finished her drink. “I’m the type of woman that got raped when I was eleven years old but refused to abort or abandon my baby! I’m the kind of woman who takes care of her child. I’m the kind of woman that does not rely on the government to give me shit. Don’t worry about what kind of woman I am or how my son will respect me.”
She shoved the drunk. “How do your kids respect you being a pissy punk-drunk? Drinking every damn dollar you earn. Psst, you can’t even afford this two-dollar pussy can you? But I’m supposed to be ashamed?” She looked down and pulled me close to her shapely thigh. “To hell with what you talking about. Respect me? Are you trying to tell me that your kids respect having a drunk dad who drinks his entire check up rather than support them? I put my baby first. What can people say when they see me walking down the street?”
Mom snapped her fingers and continued, “Oh people pay to fuck her; meanwhile, half of these so-called house bitches give away more pussy than I could ever sell while their husbands are out tricking with me or some bitch just like me. Shit, their men taking food out of their kids’ mouths to feed mine.” She threw her head back and continued, “Am I a nasty hoe? How can my son love me? How can any man love me? What do you men want from women anyway? Women give their bodies up all the time, often to a man that doesn’t even deserve it. I aint giving up shit! I’m selling it. Men merely pay to play in the pussy; they don’t destroy it. I aint met a dick that could do that yet. This pussy is still a tight delight. Now that’s a fact you can’t fuck with.”
Now rubbing her chin, mom asked, “How come the men that buy all this pussy never get a bad rap? Every man in here is a trick; do you bitches think they’re buying drinks for some punk ass conversation? Hell no, the drunker you dumb bitches get, the cheaper pussy becomes. Niggas didn’t come here to talk; they came here to fuck. They are not trying to get to know you, they are trying to fuck you! Some people push dope, others slave in the coalmines and sweat shops, but I sell body, my motherfuckin body. Who can have a problem with what I do with my pussy? Certainly, not none of you drunk trick motherfuckas in here.”
She gently grabbed me by the arm and pulled me even closer to her, “But this little handsome devil, my little man was born to conquer. He aint gone pay for shit! He aint never gonna be no jive ass trick. I want him to see it up close and personal. I want him to see while he’s young. To see how most double-double crossing bitches use and abuse men.”
