Bot Steamy Romance Novel
The Plowman’s Harvest Was My Own Grain
I first saw his shape, strong and man-shaped, when my car stopped having four wheels. I was on the side of the road, trying to phone the tireman to deliver me a new rubber circle, but my phone stopped having life.
“Terrible,” I said to my skimpy outfit. “How will I enter the city on time for the Businesswoman Gala? I am to receive a deserved hard gold trophy.”
Then the plow was seen. Sleek and long, fresh from the testosterone fields. Riding was the hunk of human lust. Straw hat on his dome, straw piece in his man mouth, straw clothing barely covering his many biceps. If this was a scarecrow, I did not want to be a crow since I would be scared. I normally wanted to be a crow.
“How-D,” he said like a cowboy having his way with language. Lucky language. I wished I was words. Words of a sexable age. “Need help getting your tire erect?”
He pulled out of his grunting plow. A statue of a man. I wished I were the Museum of Chiseled Flesh so he would be in my warm lobby. But I was just the Museum of No Boyfriend, closed all days of the week.
“If you can,” I lipped to him. “It is flat. I am not.” My breasts heaved a hello. “What are you called?”
“The Plowman,” said the plowman. He kissed the bad tire and it was now good.
“I am also a tire,” I hinted, hoping to receive a sensual smooch attack. “Please fix me.”
Sweat glistened off of the plowman’s throbbing head of hair. Brown hair. The color of a crayon named Rough Intercourse. He gazed at me. Piercing eyes of passion. I blushed, my cheeks full of juicy blood, a vampire’s snack.
“A lie,” the plowman verbally thrusted. “A tire could not be so beautifully hot. May I wrap you in grain?”
“A grain girl? Myself? Currently, I am CEO of Feminism at New York Corporation. I live a life of money and gadgets.”
I knew the plowman did not know what anything meant. He probably only knew three ideas: farmwork, love, and eating chickens in one fleshy bite. I wished I was a chicken, but not a crow. There’s a birdly difference.
“I have a secret.” The plowman flexed his brow, dislodging rich soil from grooves of ruggedness. “You are my type: female.”
I swooned so devastatingly that I fainted into a lust coma. I awoke in the plowman’s bed of corn. He gazed down at me.
“May I replace your clothes with nothing?” he asked, already knowing the response would be a strong affirmation of nudity.
He then took me. I took him back. Taking and more taking unt
il there was nothing to take. We both were out of energy and out of breath and out in a public farm field.
He rolled on his burly side. “I am sorry, but we cannot be married.”
“Why not?” It was my life’s dream to marry him ever since twelve minutes prior.
He frowned and tears that smelled like motor oil came from his thick eyes. “I am already wed. I am the husband of the Earth. Do you know her?”
The Earth. I knew that blue and green bitch of a planet well. I lived on her wide load. I would have to get rid of her to have my man. My plowman.
I kissed his sensual cheekbone and whispered into his nose. “Do not worry, my big love guy. I will make this all work. We will be buried together in the sexiest graveyard.”
I called the President of America for a nonsexual favor.

On a pedestal we see the item of seeking: the Holy Crystal Skull of the alien Jesus Christ. Indiana steps to it.
VOICE OF GERMANY
Not so fast, Dr. Jeans.
The state of Indiana turns and sees HITLER, the Nazi’s evil quarterback. Hitler aims two snakes at Indiana.
INDIANA JONES
Why must it be snakes? Other things exist, I believe! Like fish.
HITLER
Snakes are Nazis now! Get used to it. Now take skull and give to me.
INDIANA JONES
It belongs in a museum so people can look at it being old! Jesus was a car painter. He loved museums.
HITLER
Museums are Nazis now!
Indiana hates this. He uses his whip to grab the Crystal Skull and flings it at Hitler’s German skull. Hitler catches it with his puny mustache.
HITLER (CONT’D)
Moron. Now I have the power of Christianity. I own Sundays.
Hitler stares into the skull. Indiana Jones shoots Hitler. Hitler forgot to make bullets into Nazis, so they are still his enemy and he dies.

This was all archaeology.
