Rumors spread among the men that a “virgin show” was held every night in the deepest, darkest parts of the streets. The rumor was that “virgins,” who had never had sexual experience, would demonstrate how they pierce their “hymen” for the first time, and if you pay, they would even let you taste their blood. The rumor spread across the country. When the day of the “virgin show” arrived, some twenty or so men of all ages and sizes, glanced at each other, and made their way to the darkest part of the street, through the doorway of the darkest building that looked like it was about to collapse. On a tall, round platform reminiscent of a circus ring, a woman sat cross-legged, her head bowed, staring at the ground. With curious eyes, the men looked her over and took their seats. Some jostled for position in the front row. The show began. She began to remove the layers of white cloth wrapped around her. Her shoulders. Arms, fingers… Each time she lifted a layer, the men let out a low murmur of awe, or a groan of pain or pleasure, and grabbed their crotches. When she slowly pulled the last layer of cloth away from herself, one of the men started yelling at her saying she should put her fingers or something in there already. Then, all the men jumped to their feet and yelled at her to spread her legs. At that moment, the lights flickered on and off. “Argh-” “No-.” There was a series of anguished cries. When the lights came back on, the screaming men were gone, and all that was left was a pool of blood and various dicks. The “virgin” was still facing the ground, clutching the cloth wrapped around her body. She slowly raised her head and stood up. She scanned the dicks scattered on the ground. “Ah, dickheads,” she said in a bored voice, “I was going to make some cucumber kimchi. I guess this isn’t the place to be anymore.” She stepped on the dicks scattered across the ground with her bare feet, as if squashing little bugs, then casually shook them off as she walked. When she dropped the last layer of cloth wrapped around her body before leaving through the door, the lights went out again.
