Chapter 5

Her mind thought of Judson, who was a young man of fifteen and stood nearly six feet in height. Yesterday morning, when collecting the family’s dirty clothes before doing her weekly laundry, Alicia discovered a men’s magazine under the mattress when she stripped the sheets, including the mattress cover.

Alicia hadn’t considered her son a problem until discovering he was looking at magazines with images of naked women. When viewing the contents of the filthy magazine, Alicia understood what the “spots” were she had been finding on her son’s bedding. “Oh my, Judson is masturbating to the sick images in the magazine.”

In a flash, her mind conjured up images of her young son playing with his body. She recalled seeing him asleep in his bed a few mornings ago and his youthful male organ sticking up through the opening of his boxer-style shorts. Even though a mother, she couldn’t help but relate the image of her son’s penis to that of his father’s organ.

Alicia knew her son’s organ surpassed that of her husband’s when erect. The idea of thinking such thoughts made her feel shame in the near lust-induced idea of having images of her own little boy’s thing in her mind. Without a doubt, such thoughts were as terrible, if not more so, than her charming daughter’s negative and disrespectful words about their church.
