Too Old to be Young - Chapter 7 – Part 1 of 2

 

Too Old to be Young

By Karen Singer

 Chapter 7 – Part 1 of 2

 Friday morning, Jim had two primary things on his mind, and oddly enough, neither one of them was wondering when Jackie would get around to letting him out of his bloated and drenched night diaper so he could shower, and unfortunately, get stuck in a fresh one.  No.  The things on his mind weren’t exactly that.  The biggest thing on his mind was the shoes he had ordered.  Men’s shoes.  Thanks to that demented woman next door (and her friends) he didn’t have a single pair of men’s shoes in the house.  None!  She had taken every single pair he had and had gotten rid of them.  Donated them.  Thrown they away.  Either way, they were gone – history!  And there was nothing he could do about it.  Since then, he hadn’t even walked down to the end of his driveway to check his mailbox.  Not that he was expecting any mail.  He had just moved in and before “that woman” had ruined his nice safe life, he hadn’t gotten any mail anyway.  So shoes were one of the two primary things on his mind, because he had already ordered himself a new pair from the internet, and they were supposed to be delivered sometime today. 

The other major thing that occupied his mind, was more directly connected to the diapers she had so far managed to keep him stuck in…and using.  In particular, he needed a better way to handle whenever he had to take a dump…have a bowel movement…take a shit.  Mess in the back of his damn diapers!  A stinky, uncomfortable mess!  There had to be some way to make his life at least a little more manageable at those times. 

He wasn’t kidding himself.  Thanks to her, messing in the back of his diapers was going to happen, and if he didn’t find a way out of his predicament, it was going to keep happening.  Speaking of which, he needed to spend a little more time trying to figure out how to get out of this problem too.  But right now, his main concern was dealing with the uncomfortable, foul, stinky mess whenever it happened.

So far, he had noticed that whenever he was messy, she had allowed him to take a shower.  A much-needed shower.  He got the impression, for right or wrong, that she wasn’t planning on changing that aspect of things, so that was to the good.  So with that in mind, he figured out that timing was the key factor he had to figure out.  She allowed him to shower every time he was messy back there.  She also allowed him to shower every morning.  As he finally saw it, he had two options.  One, figure out how to shit in his diaper before she came each morning to let him change out of his night diaper, or two, shit in his diaper ever afternoon shortly before she let him change then.  One shower a day, versus two.  With the smelly diapers he was stuck in, and no way to change out of them unless she unlocked him, maybe two showers was the best way. 

But then there was the other problem.  The late afternoon diaper changes she allowed him didn’t always happen at the same time.  None of his diaper changes happened at the same time.  But they were fairly close.  So far, she allowed him one each morning, then another one after lunch, then late in the afternoon, and one final one where he had to put a thick one on to get him through the night.  Four diapers a day.  But so far, his changing times hadn’t been exact.  Even in the mornings, sometimes she came earlier, sometimes, later.  It was the same with each diaper change all day.  No exact time.  There was no way he could watch the clock to expect anything.

But even with no exact time, he realized he could come close enough.  It would just take a little effort on his part to make sure he either managed to mess before she got there in the morning, or do it before his late afternoon diaper change.  Hopefully, if the problem presented itself some other awkward time, he could manage to hold it for a while.  That much, he was sure he could do.  One shower or two.  Being stuck in diapers, two showers a day sounded better, but either way, he now had a plan to strive for.  Now the question was, could he regulate his body to go along with it?  He was going to have to find out.

He tried scratching at his itchy backside again through the thick, wet, heavy night diaper underneath her damn bathing suit he was stuck in.  Scratching did nothing at all.  Useless.  His entire diaper was far too bloated.  He took another sip of his coffee, wondering where the hell was she?  He needed a good shower!  Now!

The sound of his door suddenly opening caught his full attention.  He saw Jackie walking in.  Finally!

Beverly spent most of her time sitting in her living room either working on different crafts, reading, or watching TV.  Like most of the elderly residents of the community, her living room was the center of her life.  He house however, was designed differently from Jim’s house.  Her living room windows looked out over the front of her house, while Jim’s looked out at the backyard.  Late in the morning, Beverly was sitting in her living room Friday morning doing a bit of knitting, when she noticed the delivery truck pulling up in front of Jim’s driveway. She stopped knitting to watch for a minute.  She saw the delivery man carrying a large box from his truck toward Jim’s door where he set it down and rang his doorbell before going back to his truck.  A moment later, he was carrying two more large packages toward his door.  She grabbed her phone and called Jackie.

Jim stared down at the floor in the main bathroom of his house.  There was no longer any sign of that damn waxy ring on the floor.  It was clean.  Both his bathrooms were now clean, but in return, his back ached and so did his knees from having to work on the hard tile floor for so long.  Getting that stuff up had been difficult.  Very difficult.  He had to scrape and scrape at the stuff to get it all up.  But finally, the job was done.  He just wished it had been a job he never had to do.  He wished – hard – that his toilet was back where it belonged.  Both toilets!  Why had he ever committed to this thing in the first place?  And now that he was stuck in that situation, how was he going to get out of it?

He doorbell suddenly ringing grabbed his attention.  Jackie usually just came in.  Had his shoes arrived yet?  In case it was a stranger at his door, he slipped off the low-heeled shoes he had had been wearing and hurried in his bare feet to the door to find out.  When he opened it, there was a large package sitting in front of his door and he saw the deliveryman back at his truck grabbing more.  The deliveryman turned and started carrying the packages toward him. 

The diapers.  The damn stupid diapers he had ordered.  It would be far better if he ran out of them and couldn’t wear them anymore.  It would be far better if he hadn’t ordered what seemed like a million of them.  Maybe he had ordered a million.  He had no idea.  He only knew that it was a lot.  At least they were all wrapped in heavy paper so nobody could tell what was in those packages. 

With three large packages now set in front of him, he grabbed one and carried it inside.  He stopped just inside his doorway.  Where should he put them?  Since they were embarrassing packages of diapers, and he didn’t know how well each of them were wrapped, he needed to get them out of sight as fast as possible.  Just to get them all inside quickly, he decided his living room was going to be the easiest place.  He could move them all into his bedroom from there.  By the time he went back for the next package, there were even more piled outside his door.

“Hi Jim.”

He looked up to see Jackie stepping off her lawn into his driveway.

“I see your diapers have arrived.”

He wasn’t happy that she had said that.  The delivery man might have heard.

“Let me give you a hand,” Jackie offered.

As the deliveryman carried box after box from his truck to Jim’s door, Jim and Jackie carried them all into his house and stacked them in the living room.  Before long, his entire living room felt like it was flooded in packages.  At any other time, Jim would have been excited to receive a package…let alone a bunch of them, but not today.  These were all packages he didn’t want.  With Jackie helping him, he was only glad that his shoes hadn’t arrived while she was there.  She had just come over to help get a million diapers into his house.

He was relieved to see the delivery truck finally driving off, but as it drove away, he noticed Beverly crossing the street.  Oh boy, just what he needed, another one of them.

“Hi Jim,” Beverly greeted him as she walked under the cover of his carport.  She noticed his bare feet.  “No shoes today?  Too bad.  Did the delivery man say anything about those nice breasts sticking out from under your shirt though?”

Jim panicked and looked down at his chest.  Damn!  He had forgotten all about that!  Shit!  Trust one of the women to point it out to him…after it was too late for him to do anything about it.  That was another problem he was going to have to figure out how to deal with.  Hopefully, those onesies he had ordered would be here soon too, then he wouldn’t have to worry about “breasts” anymore. 

In his living room, Jim ripped the brown paper wrapping off of one of the packages.  Diapers.  Big surprise.  A supersized package of them.  While Jackie and Beverly were ripping brown wrapping paper from more of them, Jim grabbed two of the packages and lugged them back to his bedroom. 

“Geez!  Did you get enough?” Beverly asked Jackie as she looked over all the packages of diapers.

“I was having fun,” Jackie told her.  “Maybe…too much fun.”

“You think?”

“Oh well.  I’m kind of happy about it,” Jackie admitted.  “Since there’s so many, I think I want some in every room in his house, so no matter where he looks, he’ll be faced with the sight of diapers to remind him that he’s stuck wearing them from now on.”

Beverly laughed.  “Poor guy.”

“He asked for it,” Jackie reminded her.  “That’s the only reason we’re doing this.”

“The only reason?”

“Well, no.”  Jackie smiled.  “It’s mostly because I was having such a good laugh over it.”

Beverly nodded.  “We all did!  Now, where do we put them all?”

Jackie grabbed a package of diapers and headed down the hallway toward his bedroom.  As she passed the main bathroom, she noticed that the wax ring from where the toilet had been cleaned.  “Hey Bev,” she called.  “Look.  He finally cleaned it up.”

Beverly came down the hallway with a package of diapers too.  She looked inside.  “Much better.  It’s about time he got it cleaned.”

Jackie carried her package of diapers into the bathroom and set it in the corner where the toilet had been.  “Put that package here too.  I think well stack them in the bathrooms first so he can see them all sitting where his toilets used to be.”

Beverly laughed as she carried her diaper package inside.  “We should stack them high in the bathrooms then,” she said.

“Absolutely!” Jackie agreed.

While Jim carried diapers to his bedroom and tried to stack them all along one of his walls.  Jackie and Beverly stacked them in various places all over the house so that no matter where he looked, he could see diapers.  The only room they didn’t put any in was the small galley kitchen.  There was no room there at all, but when you looked out the door toward the dining table, you couldn’t miss the diapers stacked behind it.

Beverly grabbed another package from the living room.  It was much smaller than all the rest of the packages had been, and it was hard.  What was under the wrapping didn’t feel like any of the other diaper packages had.  She ripped the wrapping paper off and found a box inside…like a shoe box.  “What’s this?” she asked, surprised.

Jackie came over to see.  “What?”  She stared at it, then moved in and removed the top.  “Shoes!  Men’s shoes!”  She pulled them from the box and carried them toward the bedroom where Jim was trying to stack diapers.  “What’s this?” she demanded angrily.

Jim looked at what she was holding, and the blood drained from his face.  The shoes had arrived on the same truck with all his diapers!

“You’re not allowed men’s shoes!” Jackie said angrily.  “Did you think you would get away with trying to buy some behind my back?  Your fantasy was to be stuck wearing only women’s shoes, and I intend on seeing to it that you’re going to do just that!”  She handed the men’s shoes to Beverly.  “Get these out of here.  Do something with them so he’ll never see them again.”

“No!” Jim yelled.  “Don’t!”  He headed quickly for Beverly, but Jackie blocked the doorway. 

Beverly saw how angry he was.  To the sound of Jackie and Jim arguing behind her, she turned with his shoes in her hand and fled.  She hurried out of his house and back to her own house where she locked the door. Whew!  She looked down at the shoes in her hand.  What was she supposed to do with them?  Get rid of them.  But she didn’t want to just throw them out…yet.  She stuck them down into the bottom drawer of one of her chests.  That way, if necessary, she could always find them again, but Jim couldn’t.  Essentially, they were gone!

“Give them back!” Jim demanded, trying to get past Jackie.

“No!” Jackie yelled.  She managed to block him in his room until she heard the front door closing.  Only then did she let him get past her. 

Jim ran to the front door, but by the time he got there, Beverly was already running up her driveway across the street.  All he could do was stand there and watch as his new shoes disappeared into her house.  He never even got a chance to touch them.  In fact, he barely saw them at all, and now they were gone.

Jackie realized he was starting to rebel, but she didn’t want to deal with him now.  She pushed her way outside next to him.  “This was your fantasy!” she said pointedly.  “This is what you asked us to do to you!  Now live with it!  Welcome to your fantasy!”  With that, she turned and hurried across his driveway, across her lawn, and into her house. 

Jim could literally do nothing but stare after her.  He glanced at Beverly’s house, then at Jackie’s house.  He was angry – at both of them.  At all of them!  Maybe it was his fantasy, but he wanted out of it!  He just had to figure out how to get out of it.
