"Nkele," my father had instructed me, "run two days toward the rising
sun, and then circle to your left. Return at once if you see the grass
eaters."

It was early in the season, and there was little hope for success. That
had led me to track this single beast, on the chance that it would lead
me to its herd.

I had followed for hours the strange, fresh track of an unknown animal.
Its droppings were like the zebra's, but its prints were very odd, as if
the animal had pieces of wood on its hooves. The trail was not easy to
read on the hard packed dirt of the plain. The prints led me, in an
almost straight line, toward a distant peak, barely visible through the
shimmering air.

My legs were strong, and I ran tirelessly behind my prey. But the hot,
still air sucked moisture from my body, leaving my naked, black skin as
dry as the bare, scorched earth. I had stopped from time to time to stab
the sharp point of my antelope horn spear tip into the dusty grey pod of
a talobi plant. Standing on the shadeless plain, I could quench my need
from its moisture.

The zebra-like beast could not do the same, and I thought that it might
collapse of thirst before reaching its goal. I doubted it could endure
the long trek to the lake that lay at the foot of that peak. If it died,
I could slice into its flesh and remove the hind quarter and carry it
back to my mother. I could drink long from the creature's blood to
sustain myself for the journey.

Then I could run forth again and survey the land in the path of the
unfortunate animal. I would have to take great care, as the people who
lived near the lake were fiercely protective of their fishing grounds.
But until the sun set, the beast and I would remain far from that danger.

Ahead, between the peak and myself, I saw a speck grow in the distance.
As I ran closer, I could see it was a solitary tokasi tree. I dropped to
a crouch as I approached. Near the tree, I could make out the shape of an
animal standing on four legs.

I checked the wind, and circled to make sure it would not betray my
advance. Low to the ground, I slowly loped to the tree. As I had hoped, a
creature similar to, but somewhat smaller than a zebra, stood in its
patchy shade. The strange beast, whose like I had never seen, had no
white markings on its hair, which was as black as my skin.

A movement near the base of the tree sent me scuttling noiselessly to the
cover of a small ndube bush. I looked in astonishment at the figure who
lay flat on the ground, resting upon a pad of some material more finely
woven than the grass mats of my home. I thought at first that it might be
someone like myself, whose skin had been cruelly flayed by some enemy or
predator, leaving only the pale fat over his bones.

When I looked again, I saw that it was a young man, perhaps a year or so
younger than I. His smooth, nearly hairless skin was light, almost the
color of milk. Above his face grew long strands of hair, the color of
fire, that fell past his ears to touch the earth. A nest of flame-hued
curls sprouted from his middle. There, his pale hand was stroking a
man-stick the color of an akoba flower.

My own flesh firmed at the sight, and I grasped myself, unconsciously
matching the movement of the white youth. I had long been aware that my
desires were different from the other young men of my tribe. It was our
custom to play together when we were young. It was a time when the older
boys used the younger to relieve the passion of our throbbing shafts.

But while the other young men had left such interests behind them, when
they found their partner among the girls who danced with us in the
spring, I still found excitement in the curve of a younger boy's bottom,
and the sight of the tender bud that rested within. Stranger yet, I had
never lost my boyish interest in the man-sticks of my peers.

I had performed my obligation to increase my father's clan. I had lain
with the girl Alea and spurted my man-juice inside her. In the morning,
we had danced together to honor the stork spirit, so that she would bring
a baby to grow within Alea's belly. Now my girl was fat, and our child
would soon come out.

Unlike my brothers, however, my desire for my own kind had never
lessened. Undiminished, yet unsatisfied, my unseemly urge burned hidden
within me. The younger boys would think me sunstruck if I approached
them, after having taken a girl from the dance. And my shame would be
unbounded if I ever revealed my longing for the man-stick of an older
youth.

I could only dream, when opportunity let me take solitary pleasure. When
Alea became ready for me again, I would faithfully repeat my unwanted
duty.

The milk-skinned young man had not detected my presence. I saw him roll
away from me, until he lay upon his belly, his head resting on his folded
arms. The firm, round globes of his bottom began to clench and relax, as
he rubbed his man-stick against the mat beneath him.

I could not restrain myself. As stealthily as a stalking kala, I left the
ndube bush and crept silently forward. Carefully, I picked my way over
lines of little nbitis scurrying in two directions on the business of
their clan. A grey toloko scuttled away, and I froze, certain the pale
youth would turn to see what had alarmed it. But he kept to his effort,
heedless of danger, foolishly secure in his supposed isolation.

Without a sound, I lay my spear upon the ground and knelt on the dirt at
the edge of his mat. My hard man-stick throbbed in rhythm with the
humping movement of the youth's pale bottom. Slowly, drawn by an
attraction I could not resist, I moved my hand forward.

When my fingertips brushed the soft skin of his pale globe, his whole
body leapt upward from the mat. He twisted to face me, throwing his arms
protectively in front of his face. His eyes, brightly colored like the
sky, were filled with fright.

I raised my hands before me, displaying my empty palms. I knew that our
lives hung in the balance. Surely he had a weapon, probably in the pile
of sand-colored material that lay beside his mat. If he moved to take it
up, I would grasp my spear, and the slower of us would die.

Our eyes locked, and we peered into each other's minds. I kept very
still, never moving, holding his gaze. His mouth twitched, and then his
face relaxed. From the corner of my eye, I saw his hand reach toward my
middle, and felt him clutch my still hard man-stick.

I took a deep breath. My mouth cracked into a smile, and he returned it.
I lowered one hand and rested it on his mat, and dropped carefully to lie
beside him. My left hand reached out and stroked his softened flesh,
feeling the firmness return.

I stretched my right arm under and between us, and grasped his man-stick
and rubbed the soft skin that covered its hard core. My left hand moved
to caress the smooth curve of his bottom. I panted with desire, hoping he
would welcome the joining of our bodies. He gripped my shaft, moving my
protective skin over the sensitive crown.

I moved my hand from his bottom to his shoulder, and pressed it in a way
that I hoped would reassure him. Then I squeezed his man-stick and
released it, and pressed his shoulder again. I could see the confusion in
his eyes. I rubbed his shoulder, never taking my gaze from his eyes.

Then I backed away from him, and lifted myself to what I hoped was a
non-threatening squat. I had noticed a dry stalk of keteba grass about a
body length from the mat. I moved to it quickly and broke off the single
seed and hurried back to his side.

I set the seed on the mat between us and moved my hand to caress his
bottom. He smiled, and stroked his fingers through the valley between my
globes. I picked up the seed again, and cracked it between my thumb and
finger. When he saw the oil run into my hand, his smile grew.

I was the elder, and it was my right to enter him. But I feared I might
never again have a chance to feel a man fill me with his shaft, and my
choice was easy. I tossed the empty husk away, and smeared my slippery
palm along his man-stick. Then I pushed the remaining oil into my
opening, and lay upon my back on the soft mat.

He crawled between my thighs, and I lifted my legs and pulled my knees
toward my shoulders to open myself to his invasion. Our eyes held each
other, as he rubbed the head of his stick around my opening. I squirmed
against him, sucking the head of his rod into my hole.

I expected to feel pain when he stretched me, but my desire was so strong
that I urged him forward with my feet, and he slid in smoothly and
steadily, until I felt his groin against my eggs. Then he began to pump
his shaft within me, thrilling me like no boy of my tribe had ever done.
I smeared my oily hand over my belly, and felt the head of my shaft rub
against it as the pale youth filled my hole.

His sky eyes looked into mine, and I wondered if he found my appearance
as strange as I found his. I knew that our differences mattered little.
We had become a single panting, sweat drenched being with two backs,
bound together in the middle by his plunging man-stick.

I felt him dig faster and deeper into me, and watched his expression
become more intense. A tingle in my groin signalled the approach of my
own release. The pale young man cried aloud as his body stiffened, and I
felt his shaft throb inside me. My own man-juice splashed onto our
bellies. When he finished, he fell onto my body, and we held each other
close.

After a while, his limp man-stick slipped from my hole, and he rolled off
me and away. He rose to stand beside the mat, and we looked at our sticky
bellies. Silently, we exchanged a vow to wear my tribute until the wind
would blow away the last flakes. I squatted, resting my bottom on my
heels, and watched him prepare himself.

He began to lift pieces of material and wrap them around his skin. I felt
sorry that he had to protect himself from the warmth of the sun, but I
realized that his flesh would soon cook to the color of his bright hair
if it were exposed. He covered his loins, and then his legs.

Sitting on the mat, he wrapped his feet in soft covers, and then pulled
on pieces of animal hide, which he tied with cords. Then he rose and
covered his arms and back, and fastened it in the front. He reached for a
belt and closed it around his waist. A smooth, skin covered pouch hung
heavily over his hip. I thought it might hold his weapon, but decided it
was too small.

He squatted and tugged at the edge of the mat. I scrambled off to the
side, and helped him perform a ritual folding of the material. Then he
laid the mat over the back of the beast. From the ground, he raised an
object that appeared to be a kind of seat made from polished animal hide.
After setting it over the blanket, he tied it under the creature's belly
with straps of the same material.

He lifted a skin covered bag from the side of the beast, and removed a
plug from a hole in the top. When he raised it to his lips, I watched
clear water flow into his mouth. He handed the bag to me, and I let the
cool liquid wash down my throat. Then he picked up an object from the
ground and filled it with water and offered it to the beast, who gulped
it down. When he fastened the water sack onto the animal, I knew he was
ready to depart.

He turned toward me, and we faced each other. He moved closer and reached
to hold my man-stick lightly in his hand. My flesh stretched and firmed,
and I could see in his eyes that he wanted to join our bodies together
again. But he released me, and flung his arms around my shoulders. I
cried out in pain, as the feel of his hands on my skin seared my soul.

I reached behind him and clutched the material that covered his back. He
pulled us together, and I felt a panic that I would never touch him
again. I scrabbled my fingers at the bottom of his upper covering, until
my hands found their way under and up, and pressed against the smooth
warmth of his skin.

We held each other close, and I felt his heart beating next to my own.
Our cheeks rested together, and his warm breath caressed my ear. I wished
we could stay forever, but some sense of duty made him pull away.

My hands fell from his back, and he grasped them in his own. We looked
again into each other's eyes. I could see the longing in his, the sorrow
he felt for our parting, and I knew he could read the same feeling in
mine.

After a time, he released me, and turned toward his animal. He lifted his
foot, and by a step suspended from the device he had fastened to the
creature, he raised himself and flung a leg over its back. He picked a
piece of material from a horn in front of his middle, and placed it on
his head, covering his flaming hair. When water dripped down his face, I
saw that it was the vessel in which he had offered water to the beast.

Then he lifted a cord that led to the creature's mouth, and kicked the
animal's flank. The beast moved forward, carrying the young man away. He
turned around toward me and moved his hand from side to side. I emulated
his gesture, and watched him ride away. Man and animal blurred into one,
as he moved toward the distant peak. When they were only a faraway speck,
I left the tokasi tree and picked up my spear.

I began to run toward the home of my father. Though the memory of my
meeting with the strange young man would always remain in my heart, I
knew I could not share it with my people. I would tell them simply that
is was too early for the grazing animals, and my father would accept the
news, and send me forth on a new search in a few days.

As I ran, I pictured again the pale body of my recent companion. My
fingers felt the smoothness of his skin. I smelled his breath, and heard
the beat of his heart once more. I paused and circled, dancing and
singing a song to honor the kala spirit, hoping she would guide me
someday to find the pale man again. But I realized my wish was futile,
and I went on my way toward home.

Still, I knew those recollections would sustain me when I lay with Alea,
and the stork spirit would bring us many sons to increase my father's
clan.

The end.
