Afrakati — Ray Johnson

Brad is scheduled to meet a young woman at the museum, at the Egyptian Antiquities exhibit. He is not looking forward to this date, but Shirley has maneuvered him into it. Brad is thirty-five, tall, handsome, a widower and rich. It is the rich part that caused Shirley to push for their second date. While waiting for her, in front of the statuette of Isis, Afrakati comes up behind him and asks, “Are you interested in Egyptian antiquities?”
Brad turns around to encounter the stunningly beautiful Afrakati.
“If I wasn't…I am now.” Afrakati is five feet, six inches tall, with incredible cleavage that captures his eyes. Her jewellery, her complexion, eyes that are almost Oriental, raven hair in a French braid that falls to her waist, everything screams out that she is Egyptian. If Nefertiti had looked even half this good, Akhenaten would have been unable to govern as Pharaoh. She explains that Shirley could not make their date, but she would become his tour guide. Brad silently thanks the Gods of Beautiful Women.
Brad immediately falls under her magical spell. That first night becomes one of many. While Afrakati plans, too many women attempt to get Brad to marry them. Afrakati told him on their tour of the Egyptian exhibit that Sekhmet, the Goddess of Vengeance, was her mother. At the time, he assumed that was like a Christian woman identifying with the Virgin Mary. Yet every woman that seeks marriage with Brad, either meets a violent death or disappears. Also on that first night, Afrakati said that many people believed that the Great Pyramid of Khufu was built to cover the Kingdom of the Gods. He had the feeling that she believed it also.
Afrakati convinces Brad to take a vacation from the law firm and go with her to Egypt. As with all things, he is incapable of telling her no. Once in Cairo, she persuades him to tour the Great Pyramid with her at sundown. In the back of his mind, still haunting him, was her statement that the Great Pyramid was built to cover the Kingdom of the Gods. She takes him on a secret passageway, heading deep into the bowels of the Earth; lit only by the torch she is carrying. She turns and tells Brad, “It'll be good to see mother again.”
