"Who's that?" Katie asked.
"That's the woman who was chasing me. She ... really wants me," James said.
"That's obvious," Laura said.
The woman continued to pound the door, making James very nervous. Maybe she wouldn't leave him alone. She sounded so desperate to get to him, he thought that she might even try to break one of the windows to get into the house. But at the moment, she was staying outside the door. Maybe if he was quick and clever enough, he could sneak out the back and run back to his truck before she realized that he was no longer in this house. But first, he'd have to deal with these three women.
"Listen, I've got to get out of here. Is there a back door I can use?" he asked.
"Leaving so soon?" Laura asked, pouting a bit, as she sauntered up to him. Katie was still close by, so it almost felt like he was being surrounded with no escape.
"That woman will do anything to get to me. She ... uh ... really loves me."
"I know how that feels," Margaret said, also moving closer to him. When she got close enough, she reached out and laid her hand on James' crotch. She gasped, then smiled. "Getting excited, are we?"
"Margaret!" Laura yelled, causing her friend to yank back her hand. "This is our guest. And you're married. You shouldn't be touching him like that."
"I ... I don't know why I did that," Margaret said. "Ever since he came here, I've been feeling ... strange."
"So have I," Laura said.
"And me too," Katie said.
They all looked at James.
"Did you do something to us?" Laura asked.
"Now, don't get mad. But something weird has been happening to me this morning," James said, wondering if they would even believe him. "Every woman I've met so far has turned into a ... a slut."
"A what?" Margaret asked.
"I'm sorry. But I think the reason you all feel weird is because you're all sluts now."
"You're crazy," Laura said. "You can't make someone like that, just by meeting them."
"Why do you think that woman out there is chasing me? I met her outside her house when she was leaving for work. And now she desperately wants to have sex with me." He paused. "How come you three don't want me as badly?" When no one answered, he offered his own theory. "Maybe it's because you have more restraint than that woman out there. You're church women, right?"
Laura nodded.
"Maybe your conscience and strong belief in what's right and wrong is keeping you from acting on your sexual impulses. Otherwise, we wouldn't be talking to each other right now. We'd probably be in the living room over there having sex as we speak."
"If what you say is true ..." Laura began. "Then how do we reverse this?"
"I don't know. It just happened. Before you three, I only changed two people. The woman out there and another woman named Kamiko Meshida."
"Kamiko is a slut now?" Katie asked, a little shocked.
"Yeah. I barely got out of her house alive. Her husband came home early and, well, I just had to get out of there. Although, Kamiko didn't seem to care. She was even thinking about divorcing."
"But she's so loyal and respectful. She'd never do that."
"Well, she would now. All she cares about is having sex. And she made it clear that her husband couldn't satisfy her."
"We're going to become just like that, aren't we?" Katie asked.
"Yeah."
"But I can't," Margaret said. "I'm ... I'm the wife of a pastor. What would people think? What would my husband think?"
"I hate all those women who act and dress like sluts," Laura said. "I can't be like that."
"I'm really sorry," James said.
Suddenly, they were all speechless. They couldn't believe that this was happening to them.
It was at this moment that they noticed that it was a little too quiet. They no longer heard pounding on the door. The woman outside was gone. But was she really gone?
James walked into the living room and peeked out the window.
