“Rupert , are you familiar with human blood types,” Loretta asked.

“Not really? I mean I know there are blood types, but not really why or what they are? Why,” Rupert answered.

“It’s part of my explanation and no reason for you to know. So, allow me a little more time and I’ll begin there. Rupert , I won’t bore you with too much history, but around 35,000 years ago, in what was called the Cromagnon period there was an introduction to a new blood type in early humans. It has since been called Rh-negative,” Loretta said.

“So you can trace your family back 35,000 years,” Rupert asked.

‘No Rupert , just my particular blood type,” Loretta said and then added, “which science presupposes was spontaneous, and that could very well be true, but regardless of how it came about, it did. It left a small segment of humans marked by that blood type as very special. My ancestors are descendents of those special or rare humans.”

“But we all descended with some sort of blood types,” Rupert said and then added, “Right?”

“True,” Loretta said and then added, in fact no one knows why we became so diverse or developed so many blood types but as some have speculated it’s thought we also evolved from apes. Ironically the Rh name itself is derived from Rhesus Macaques monkeys used in the labs.

“Monkeys,” Rupert repeated curiously,” I’m wetting because of monkeys?”

Just the name Rupert , and I’m sorry about all this academia, but I’m a teacher by profession so if I sound like I’m lecturing, I probably am. Anyway back to the blood. You don’t know this, but there are about 35 groupings of blood types which separates all of us as a species.

“Nope, I didn’t know that,” Rupert said yawning.

“Well, one of those species was identified as an ancient race called the Annunaki. Not everyone agrees with this, and it might sound funny but some believe they reached very significant heights in their time. There is also a lot of speculation that these were actually the Gods of ancient Babylon and Mesopotamia so take it with a grain of salt.

Anyway they were called the Anuna Gods. There is even mention in the original Sumerian writings that goes back about 3600 B.C. These people carry that blood type,” Loretta noted.

“Wait,” Rupert said perking up as he added, “so you’re saying that your descended from Gods from about 5,600 years ago?”

“Not really. I’m saying some believe my people or those with my blood type descended from a group of people that were more advanced. Given how that advancement was recorded some may have seen them as Gods. I wasn’t there,” Loretta said

“Wow,” Rupert said.

“No kidding,” Loretta said and then added, “Rupert , It gets even more speculative when you consider that some believed that these human’s or beings descended from the heavens to Earth. Actually in later, more modern interpretations, they came as aliens from space.”

“Serious,” Rupert said.

“How should I know.” Loretta noted smiling. “People like their notions!”

“So your blood doesn’t melt steel or go through floorboards or anything,” Rupert said laughing.

“Cute Rupert . Long story short, who really knows, because no one can find a history yet. Anyway, those with that particular Rh-negative factor took also took another evolutionary turn again fostering the development of a brainstem cerebellum connection that can physically manipulate particles.

“Particles,” Rupert said.

“Not normal particles Rupert , but something closer to quantum particles. Fundamental particles that if you could, you’d find at the smallest scales of particles called hadrons and don’t ask me to go too much further because I get lost fast,” Loretta said.

“Okay so we’ve got an alien brain as well,” Rupert said.

“Perhaps. Suffice to say these, whatever they are, do not follow ordinary laws of physics, or if they do we just don’t understand them yet. However they are part of an appendage that I have, that we have which to put it mildly communicates within us without us actually doing so.” Loretta said.

“I’m getting my own headache now,” Rupert said.

“I know,” Loretta said laughing a little before adding, “ again this is pure speculation, but for my people it’s part of our history. For the record, I can’t prove any of this either, but it’s going to help begin to explain certain things that you’ve had happen to you and experienced I can prove,” Loretta said pausing.

“Gods? How does all that explain what happed to me,” Rupert said.

“I’m getting to that. Rupert , you were what we or my people call pushed. It was accidental and happened when you knocked me down. I was actually acting in self defense,” Loretta said.

“I don’t follow,” Rupert said.

“Rupert , to put this bluntly, I can push another person’s mind and body. We all can. That is we as in those of us born with this unique Rh factor, and if born female. Males, by the way, don’t have it. It’s why men can’t push,” Loretta said.

“You push,” Rupert asked.

“I push. Loretta said and then added, “while you on the other hand, and all those like you, or those not born with that Rh factor can be pushed. Like many species Rupert , you have a built in sensor mechanism allowing your cells to detect and react to electrical fields,” Loretta said.

“What kind of sensor mechanism,” Rupert asked.

“It’s actually pretty common among other species like birds and fish who migrate. This so called weak electrical field sensor guilds migration in a process called galvanotaxis or electrotaxis. To be honest Rupert science don’t really know how this works only that it does,” Loretta said.

“Okay, so I’ve got this thing and you can push it, and in my brain this thing… this kind of sensor that can feel that push. I get that maybe, I just don’t get what happened to me,” Rupert said.

“Rupert , when I pushed, it was a defensive mechanism. It was done instinctively and meant to incapacitate till I could ascertain the risk you posed,” Loretta said as she added, “repelling you was also instinctual. When I realized you had bumped into me accidentally it was too late to take back that push.

“And that’s when I wet? But how the hell did I wet,” Rupert asked interrupting.

“Rupert , your bladder receives its control by way of transmissions from your nervous system. That involuntary release was caused by your fight or flee response driven by a very primitive part of your brain,” Loretta said.

“Which part,” Rupert asked.

“I’m getting to that,” Loretta said and added, Rupert , I simply stimulated your hypothalamus, which in turn automatically released hormones that instructed your bladder to ready itself for that flight response,” Loretta said and then added, “unfortunately that stimulus to the hypothalamus will keep the cells responding spasmodically from that push for five to seven days that I mentioned.”

“Fight or flee,” Rupert said repeating what Loretta had said.

“It’s an automatically controlled response induced by another autonomic response. In mammals as in humans it produces what is called that fight or flee response which unfortunately can cause us to release our bladders. Animals and humans do not need to consume energy holding their waste in if they’re going to fight or flee. When your hypothalamus was stimulated I’m afraid it triggered that release,” Loretta said

I still don’t understand,” Rupert said and added, “why can’t I stop myself from urinating?”

“Rupert , it’s because of your hypothalamus. That is a part of your brain, the primitive part, that regulates certain metabolic processes like your autonomic nervous system. It’s difficult to explain, and I may lose you on this, but your hypothalamus is synthesizing neurohormones,” Loretta said.

‘Neurohormones,” Rupert repeated.

“Yes. Those hormones are stimulating your pituitary system which in turn controls your external sphincter muscles,” Loretta said and added, “Rupert , I know it doesn’t make since but suffice to say you’ll be incontinent for the short term.”

“So I’m wetting uncontrollably like a baby might,” Rupert said.

“Pretty much,” Loretta said and then added, “like I said earlier I’m guessing two to three more diaper changes for the balance of today and then five to eight diaper changes a day for the next five to eight days.”

“Wait a second,” Rupert said looking at the package of baby diapers Loretta had sat on the kitchen table when she came in.

Rupert did the math. There were roughly twenty diapers in the package giving him at most four days worth if he did five diapers a day. That would mean another package of diapers.

“So let me see if I’ve got this right? I’ve got to change myself five times a day for at least another five days. That’s 25 diapers. What’s that package hold 20? Are you listening! So I’ve also got to purchase another package of diapers,” Rupert yelled. “And what? Do I run around with a diaper bag? Go into a bathroom with a changing station? You know the ones? They’ve got a woman and a baby on them! Are you serious?”

“Calm down for a second. Listen to me. Honey, I’m going to tell you a couple of things that’s not going to make any sense. Just know first that it was an accident…,” Loretta said but then paused and then added, “okay?”

“Calm down? How can you ask me to be calm? No, no I’m not okay if you want to know the truth,” Rupert said.

“I know this is rough,” Loretta noted.

“Rough? look, I’m in a diaper. Look at that package. There is a baby on it, running around in front of its mother? You’re telling me that’s me for the next five to eight days,” Rupert said and added, “Rough? Yes, I’d say it’s rough!”

“I know,” Loretta said.

“You’re telling me you did it because you got alien blood and your a God or something and I’m supposed to be calm,” Rupert said and then added, “my diaper is getting wet and I can’t stop it. I’m not calm.”

“Do you want to change,” Loretta asked.

“What? No! I want to know what the hell did you do to me? How did you make me start wetting like this? Look at me… no, on second thought don’t look at me. How am I going to get home without becoming the laughingstock of the world,” Rupert asked in frustration.

“Well, of course you can stay here while you are incontinent and wearing diapers. That’s my next question? Do you need to be anywhere or call anyone,” Loretta asked and then added, “I mean until this spell wears off I’d like you to be my guest.”

“I don’t need to be anywhere, I don’t need to call anyone and I sure as hell can’t go outside wearing just a diaper so yes, I’d like to stay here if you don’t mind. I was done for the day as it happens, and just getting something to eat,” Rupert said.

There was a long pause. Rupert sat there looking at Loretta. Loretta knew what was coming and waited for it. Rupert had heard most all of it and with reluctance had more or less accepted everything she’d said till just now. Loretta saw it in his face.

“What do you mean when the spell wears off? Are you trying to tell me you’re some kind of a witch?” Rupert said with a snicker before adding, “seriously, is that how you’re going to play this out?”

“Are you still wetting,” Loretta asked.

“Hell yes I’m wetting and it’s damn uncomfortable,” Rupert said.

“Would you feel better if I told you I’m a secret agent and I poked you with a needle that was suppose to render you helpless?” Loretta said and added, “would that work?”

“Seriously, you’re trying to tell me you’re a witch,” Rupert asked.

“Sorry, no I’m not trying to tell you. I’m telling you I’m a witch and to be frank you can believe it or not. Makes no difference now that the spell has been cast,” Loretta said.

“You’re a witch,” Rupert said shaking his head.

“No matter what you think that diaper is going to keep getting wetter and you’ll need a couple more.” Loretta said and added, “plus four more days in this package and another three or four in a second package.”

“Right. You’re a witch,” Rupert said scoffing.
