Baphomet's Blessing

By Eve Morton

When Natasha "Tasha" Joon accepts an invitation to read from her gender memoir to a feminist bookstore, she thinks it's one of her many stops on her publicity tour organized by her best friend and secret-crush Lydia. As it turns out, the audience that awaits her is far more sinister than she ever thought possible, and Tasha is soon cursed.

Instead of falling into despair, she and Lydia fall in love. Later on, Tasha realizes she has a tumour in her stomach that is rapidly growing. Then appears to move, as if it is a life force all its own. She and Lydia, both trans women, come to the same strange conclusion: Tasha is pregnant and this close to the holidays, it seems that she will be giving birth to the new messiah -- or a monster.

Now, with a possible monster baby on the way, Tasha and Lydia have more things to consider than they thought possible. When the coven shows up again, their supernatural adventure becomes that much more dangerous. Good thing Tanner Chapman, talk show host extra ordinate, can help sort out the matter of paternity once and for all.

Will Tasha's baby be human or demon, devil or angel? And is Lydia the father -- or mother? And who will get custody of the new miracle child: the two trans women who created life in spite of all odds, or the evil coven who only wish to destroy all light during the darkest time of the year?

Prologue

Welcome guests, Tanner Chapman says. "Thank you for joining us on this special supernatural issue of Tanner Talk. I’d like to welcome Natasha Joon to the stage. Let’s give her a round of applause."

Natasha walks onto the gray carpet from stage left. Her dark hair is freshly cut at her shoulders and her recent bangs are feathered. Her pale skin has been caked with make-up for television, which she thinks is strange since most of the people who will see this broadcast will be watching on a squished tablet or iPhone screen, but the bold eyeliner and red lips make her feel like a protector goddess, anyway. She wears a red dress with a plunging neckline and does so for her scars to be visible. They radiate from her stomach, reach her collar bones; the pink of her marred flesh highlights the red of the dress, and she knows that the cameras will pick up everything. She waves with a practiced hand and smiles without showing teeth. When she sits, she crosses her legs and leans close toward Tanner.

Tanner shakes her hand. So nice to have you on the show, Natasha.

Please, call me Tasha. Everyone I care about does.

"Well, thank you, Tasha. We will get right to those people who care about you soon enough. But I wanted to give our viewers some background. For those of you who may remember, Tasha came out with a book
