He understood why he just didn't understand how he had lost for the last four months in a row!!!!
When he came to the town of Jackson way out in Shirley county, he was just like the rest....maybe not as big, maybe not as strong....but he'd been drawn here by the promises of easy gold.....it was so plentiful that you'd find gold nuggets in the street that others had simply tossed away!!!!
It turned out it was all a lie.....all the men who'd come here found nothing but disappointment and those who could afford to leave had left long ago leaving only the poor, and destitute to scrape out an existence as best they could!!!
The women who came to gold rush towns had been the first to leave and now there was not a single female left....
Lonely desperate men were left to figure out their own way to satisfy their base desires....many took up abusing themselves in private although most of them found this unsatisfying!!!!
Some tried to find love in the arms of each other and for some that worked.....they were the lucky ones....the only happy men in the town!!!!
As for the rest....they had the "Lottery"....
Once a month they would all step up and pull a marble from a hat and whoever drew the black marble would become the towns girl for the month....he would dress and act in every way.....every way....as a woman and would provide for any man who wished to spend some time with "her"!!!
Ken understood the why of it all....and even though he'd never used the lottery "winner" in any way he'd seen what would happen to them!!!!
The first three didn't survive the month!!!!
Then rules were established to give the "woman" a chance....a five minute head start before the men could go after her....
Ken understood all that but what he didn't understand was how he could manage to "win" the lottery four months in a row.....
After his last win he'd been caught almost immediately and he was still sore from that first week.....
But this time he felt ready....no more long skirts to trip over or high heeled boots to hobble him....this time they'd have to work to catch him....and he hoped if he left them exhausted after the chase perhaps he might be able to elude them for at least a few days...after all it was only thirty days in a month and surely he wouldn't win the lottery again.....
The men of the town watched as the small "woman" ran and they smiled at each other....the short skirt only fueled their lust.....that Ken was almost a real woman already and some of them felt bad about tricking him but at the same time they all hung on to their white marbles....none of them planned to ever "win" the lottery when there was a sweet little thing like Ken around!!!
