High Dragon Bump
BY DON THOMPSON
If it took reduction or torch hair, the Cirissins wanted a bump. Hokum, thistle, gluck.
A young and very beautiful girl with golden blond hair and smooth skin the color of creamed sweet potatoes floated in the middle of the windowless metal room into which Wayne Brighton drifted. The girl was not exactly naked, but her few filmy clothes concealed nothing.

Now, don't get panicky!
the girl pleaded. "After
