The Circle
|
||
|
|
||
|
Jennifer snuggled close to Wimple as they walked down the red
|
||
|
brick cobbled street. They moved as one, casting a four legged shadow
|
||
|
in the dim moonlight, tapping an almost equine rhythm with their feet.
|
||
|
Wimple couldn't remember when he felt this good, maybe he never had,
|
||
|
in any case he knew better than to analize good luck too closely.
|
||
|
Tonight was one of those rare moments in time when nothing could go
|
||
|
wrong. She leaned on him, but he was following her.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The street veered in a slow arc to the right, Wimple went with
|
||
|
its flow. No silly, not to the right, the left, she said. You'll
|
||
|
like my sisters, they'll love you ... The narrow alley spoke of age,
|
||
|
somehow it seemed older than the city itself. The red stones took on
|
||
|
a brownish glint, moist, each framed with just a touch of algae.
|
||
|
Obviously few feet had passed to sterilize their surfaces barren of
|
||
|
one of Earths earliest citizens.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He felt a twinge of uneasiness as the light dimmed into dark
|
||
|
gloom. Long forgotten protective instincts wellhead up inside him,
|
||
|
visions of hoodlums threatening violence passed through his
|
||
|
imagination. He saw potential threat in every doorway and crevice.
|
||
|
Automatically simple logic came to his rescue and stood before his
|
||
|
imagination. The stones themselves spoke of little traffic, felons
|
||
|
such as those would haunt more productive streets. Nothing threatened
|
||
|
here save an over protective nature.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Jennifer broke his reverie; "we're almost there, see the light?".
|
||
|
A solitary lamppost partially obscured by a bend in the lane bravely
|
||
|
pushed away the blackness a meager half a block ahead. Near there
|
||
|
must be the house of her sisters, Wimple thought. His mood lifted,
|
||
|
the evenings earlier enchantment flowed back into his chilled
|
||
|
consciousness, perfection returned.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He resumed his strategies of how to be charming to her family; he
|
||
|
adored her, she loved them, her sisters must love him too! Charm was
|
||
|
not a practiced skill for him, but tonight he would be charming, he
|
||
|
must be.
|
||
|
|
||
|
As they rounded the curve and gained the company of the street
|
||
|
lamp, Wimple saw that the alley ended in a circular cul-de-sac with
|
||
|
the lamppost at the far end. He expected an old Victorian house to
|
||
|
grace its edge, what he saw was a shabby abandoned warehouse. Where
|
||
|
do your sisters live, he asked in bewilderment.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Jennifer smiled as though he had said something foolish. Sue,
|
||
|
she called. As if from nowhere a tall, obviously athletic brunette
|
||
|
stepped from the shadows wearing a smile hauntingly similar to
|
||
|
Jennifers'. Again and again she beckoned; Betty... Ellen...
|
||
|
Marguerite... Diana... Jill... Hellene... Cathy... Linda...
|
||
|
Kimberly... Marilyn... Raven.
|
||
|
|
||
|
With each name another emerged, one to the left, to the right,
|
||
|
behind, until the curb was encircled by thirteen women. Each and
|
||
|
every one profoundly different from Jennifer execpt her smile. Every
|
||
|
male since Adam knows and has been subjected to that smile; cool,
|
||
|
superior, slightly amused, painfully tolerant, shown by women to
|
||
|
errant children and foolish men.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Wimple had planned to be charming, witty and at all costs
|
||
|
likable, his wildest imagining had conjured nothing like this. For him
|
||
|
sisters meant more than one, this was a platoon of relatives to
|
||
|
appease. He might ingratiate himself with two or even three but this
|
||
|
wasn't a frailly, it was a crowd. His heart sank, Jennifer had made it
|
||
|
all too clear how important it was that her sisters approve of their
|
||
|
union. He was deeply dubious of his prowess as a charmer and despaired
|
||
|
of his chances.
|
||
|
|
||
|
These are your sisters, all twelve, Wimple gasped!
|
||
|
|
||
|
The ring of smiles closed until he was encircled, each hand in
|
||
|
hand. Not of the flesh, Jennifer answered in a husky voice, but of
|
||
|
the coven. Jennifer stood directly in front of him, she pushed him
|
||
|
playfully backwards with outstretched arms, palms flat.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Caught off balance, he stumbled backwards and fell hard against
|
||
|
the woman behind him. Hellene giggled, bit him coquettishly on the
|
||
|
nap of his neck and flung him forward into the ready arms of the buxom
|
||
|
brunette first called. With astonishing speed Sues' powerful
|
||
|
enfolding embrace took the breath from him, she kissed him deeply,
|
||
|
driving her wet tongue down his throat like a snake in pursuit of a
|
||
|
gofer. Just as abruptly she sent him careening into yet another
|
||
|
embrace, fondled provocatively, teased beyond endurance, and then cast
|
||
|
off to the next in line, as if a toy in a round game.
|
||
|
|
||
|
With each erotic welcome his disorientation expanded at equal
|
||
|
pace with his rising passion until finally he fetched up, falling
|
||
|
heavily forwards into Ravens' powerful grasp. She cradled his head
|
||
|
between her hands, her long jet black hair cascaded about him forming
|
||
|
a dark canopy shutting out everthing. Her face filled his world. She
|
||
|
looked down at him, eyes piercing, breath hot on his face. He was
|
||
|
transfixed by their deep and penetrating stare. She was
|
||
|
breathtakingly bountiful, yet he felt coldly scrutinized, the way a
|
||
|
mouse must feel in the inescapable presence of a sleek and hungry cat.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He grinned self-consciously up at her, Her persistent, communal
|
||
|
and enigmatic smile deepened into an unyielding and pitiless leer.
|
||
|
For the first time Wimple was afraid of loosing more than his
|
||
|
dignity. His confusion was replaced by fear dangerously close to
|
||
|
panic. With a single thrust she ejected him from their shared canopy,
|
||
|
sending him sprawling, face down, dead center, within the ring of
|
||
|
protagonists sisters.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Wimple feebly picked himself up, gasping for breath, reeling near
|
||
|
exhaustion, trying desperately to regain some measure of control. His
|
||
|
body pounded with ragging lust, while his mind sought an avenue of
|
||
|
escape. He floundered looking from face to face, pleading with his
|
||
|
eyes. Their girlish tittering laughter profoundly deepened his
|
||
|
sensation of surrealism. There was nothing his mind could fix on. It
|
||
|
was as if reality had abandoned him the way it often does in dreams.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Smiles, still uniform, had lost their subtlety, now they mimicked
|
||
|
Sues' portending leer. Jennifer advanced slowly, swaying seductivly
|
||
|
and locked her hands behind his neck. She cooed in his ear, as if to
|
||
|
a frightened child, kissed him ever so gently, still advancing as
|
||
|
though leading in a dance. Wimples' fear and confusion evaporated
|
||
|
under her caressing touch. The succor of her comforting, rhythmic
|
||
|
advance belayed all reason.
|
||
|
|
||
|
As if in a slow waltz, Wimple retreated backwards retracing the
|
||
|
distance between he and Raven standing, hips wide, like a catcher at
|
||
|
the ready, directly behind. Minutes later his back felt the firm,
|
||
|
warm points of her generous breasts press into him. From behind the
|
||
|
tall womans' voluptuous body sent near electric thrills through his
|
||
|
frame and in the fore was Jennifers' delicate, titillating, reassuming
|
||
|
kiss.
|
||
|
|
||
|
At that moment Wimples' effort to understand desolved into total
|
||
|
surrender. THe urgency of his need thrust forward as if driven by an
|
||
|
independent will, while his self went into total retreat. He would
|
||
|
try to understand later, now all of existence was need, dignity, self,
|
||
|
even his apprehensions where abstractions far too remote to intrude.
|
||
|
He had spent his entire adult life in a manic effort to control events
|
||
|
around him, he could grapple with pain, control it, if not defeat it,
|
||
|
but he was defencless against pleasure. letting his will go filled
|
||
|
him with a comfortable weakness, an odd contentment almost religious
|
||
|
in texture.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sudenly something cool and unyielding dropped tightly around his
|
||
|
throat. His arms flailed involuntarily straight out from his sides to
|
||
|
be captured by Linda and Kimberly pulling hard in opposition, like
|
||
|
twin cats clutching an escaping bird. Raven slowly tightened the
|
||
|
leather belt around Wimples' neck, her body quivering with an
|
||
|
intensity of excitement even Wimple could feel through his dimming
|
||
|
consciousness.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Too quickly, too quickly! Jennifer shouted. You'll spoil it!
|
||
|
Raven relinquished her implacable grasp, just enough to bring Wimples'
|
||
|
consciousness back from the yawning pit of consuming darkness that had
|
||
|
opened before him.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Wimples' eyes spoke to Jennifer, imploring to know why?
|
||
|
Why not, she answered, as though talking about the weather. Its
|
||
|
not as though you mattered, no one does, there are plenty more where
|
||
|
you came from. If there is a point, it is simply that; as in nature,
|
||
|
there are two types of entities, pray and predator. We play the part
|
||
|
of predators, you are cast in the role of pray. Which is which is of
|
||
|
no consequence, how the piece is played is everything. You and we have
|
||
|
auditioned our entire lives, this is your moment, you're on.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Wimple struggled convulsively against his restraints of noose and
|
||
|
hands, but he was far too weak and his captors resolve too firm.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Don't fight it, Jennifer said, it will go much better if you
|
||
|
don't. We love all you! Predators don't hate their pray, they love
|
||
|
them. We kill for the love of killing, but only those marked by thier
|
||
|
nature for death. Not sadists but saviors, we give your life meaning
|
||
|
in the manner of its passing. Is it better to vomit up your life, fed
|
||
|
on by some hideous disease, or leave your remains painted on a lonely
|
||
|
highway? Surly we are a better prospect than that?
|
||
|
|
||
|
With that she kissed him as departing lovers do at train
|
||
|
stations. Sighed wistfully and knelt in front of him, Japanese
|
||
|
fashion, tidy and demure. She paused for a long, moment meditating,
|
||
|
and then reached out and unzipped his pants, brushed aside their
|
||
|
fastenings and pulled them, undergarments and all, to the ground in a
|
||
|
single fluid motion.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Besides, she continued, we are only doing what you want, what you
|
||
|
have always wanted. What we do, we do for love of you. If you cannot
|
||
|
accept the logic, then concede the evidence of your own body. I will
|
||
|
prove it to you. If your body refuses, we will let you go, if not
|
||
|
then we will know that you are well chosen.
|
||
|
|
||
|
She fondled his now limp penis as she expounded her philosophy,
|
||
|
stroking in syncopation with her words, punctuating each phrase with a
|
||
|
squeeze of supurbe craftsmanship and clinical detachment. Massaging
|
||
|
slowly her hand moved up and down his organ. In defiance of his will,
|
||
|
his flagging member began to show signs of life.
|
||
|
|
||
|
She shifted his growing erection from hand to lips. Moving her
|
||
|
tongue expertly down its length, abrading its surface with her teeth
|
||
|
just enough to produce the desired effect. See, she said, isn't that
|
||
|
much better? Do you really want me to stop, all you have to do is go
|
||
|
limp and we will believe you.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Jennifer looked up at Raven approvingly, I think he'll do just
|
||
|
fine, she said. She turned toward her sisters, he's ready. One by
|
||
|
one, each in her turn, knelt before him. Each in her turn suckled,
|
||
|
stroked and fondled with infinite care and consummate skill, as though
|
||
|
talking part in a sacrament of lust. As each finished, the noose
|
||
|
around his neck tightened a fraction more, orchestrated by Raven in
|
||
|
perfect harmony with her sisters ministrations and Wimples' reflex.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The shimmering moonlight bore whiteness to a slow execution
|
||
|
administered in lascivious black erotica. Like feeding animals atom
|
||
|
by atom they sucked, tongued and probed their victums life away.
|
||
|
Raven waited patently, her ever tightening noose ready for Whimples'
|
||
|
final reply.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The last sensation Wimple knew was the pulsating throb of his
|
||
|
exploding climax tearing at his soul, searing every cell in his body
|
||
|
as he fell into to utter nothingness under Ravens' prefect timing.
|
||
|
|
||
|
His body now hung limp, held half erect by Ravens' black leather
|
||
|
belt. She smiled, bit into the back of his neck, ran her tongue
|
||
|
through the ravaged tear and tasted his blood approvingly. With deep
|
||
|
satisfaction she let him drop, in a forgotten heap, on the cold wet
|
||
|
paving stones of an equally forgotten lane.
