Filming the Ark

Remus Shepherd
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Harry Smith, producer, was tired of being the center of attention.
|
||
|
Activity on the pier milled around him, with every stage hand and
|
||
|
performer wanting his personal attention. Thankfully the sailors left
|
||
|
him alone -- their job was to load cargo. And the security guards
|
||
|
didn't mind pushing people away when he asked them to. He had a job to
|
||
|
do.
|
||
|
Ray, Harry's second-in-command, actually did most of the work.
|
||
|
"Okay, Harry, here's the papers on the livestock. Now, you told me not
|
||
|
to worry about the dogs..."
|
||
|
Harry pointedly ignored three people trying to get his attention.
|
||
|
"The dogs are no trouble as long as we don't stop anywhere -- then
|
||
|
customs gets involved. We're just going on a short tour, out to
|
||
|
international waters, where we can do as we please, then home again.
|
||
|
File those papers and help me check the manifest against the cargo."
|
||
|
Ray opened his satchel, stuffed the papers inside, and pulled out a
|
||
|
thick folder. "Just about everyone we contracted is here, minus a few
|
||
|
no-shows." The small man had to run to keep up with Smith. "And I've
|
||
|
been getting calls all day from late applicants ..." On cue, Ray's
|
||
|
cellular phone rang, and he stopped to answer.
|
||
|
A burly stablehand took the opportunity to get Harry's attention.
|
||
|
"Mr. Smith, the goats have diarrhea. I think it's something in their
|
||
|
feed..."
|
||
|
"Harry!" A scantily clad woman grabbed him from another direction.
|
||
|
"You've got my Llama penned up next to a bear cage! What the hell are
|
||
|
you thinking?"
|
||
|
Harry knocked her hand away from his silk shirt. "You've got a
|
||
|
problem, Jucie? Talk to Christian, he's the stable manager -- it's what
|
||
|
I pay him for."
|
||
|
"What if that thing gets out? He's scaring the hell out of my llama
|
||
|
now -- if he kills it, I'm left without an act!"
|
||
|
"Jucie, that's bullshit. You've done half the animals on board, and
|
||
|
I've got film to prove it." Harry spun to the stable hand. "uh, Joe,
|
||
|
isn't it? Joe, whose bear is that?"
|
||
|
Joe blinked. "Yours, I think. Mr. Smith, the goats..."
|
||
|
Ray covered the mouthpiece. "Harry, got an interesting one here!
|
||
|
This guy's got a female elephant, and says he can make it here by three
|
||
|
o-clock!"
|
||
|
Harry held up his hands. "Waitaminute! Jucie, tell Christian to
|
||
|
move the bear -- the llama needs that pen. Put him in someone's shower
|
||
|
for chrissake!" He turned to Ray and sighed. "Ray, ask him what the
|
||
|
hell he does with the elephant, anyway. And we can't make special
|
||
|
arrangements by three, if he needs any! Brush him off if you can."
|
||
|
"um, Mr. Smith..."
|
||
|
Harry looked back at Joe. "All the fucking goats are sick? What the
|
||
|
hell can give a goat diarrhea?" He saw three more people moving in to
|
||
|
confront him, and began backing off. "Talk to Dr. Kent, see if they'll
|
||
|
be fit to perform. And see if anyone's been shanking them off-stage!"
|
||
|
Harry turned and headed for the gangplank. "Ray, let's get the hell out
|
||
|
of here."
|
||
|
"Harry, the elephant guy says he's got an inflatable kayak, and..."
|
||
|
"Hang up on him, Ray."
|
||
|
"Harry", someone called from outside, "you better come take care of
|
||
|
this." Out on the dock was a group of people standing, watching some
|
||
|
event in the center of the crowd. An occasional cheer went up.
|
||
|
Harry changed direction and stormed over to the group, pushing people
|
||
|
aside. A red haired lady was underneath a minature horse, plunging a
|
||
|
flared, pink cock into her open mouth. He could swear she was unhinging
|
||
|
her jaw. The horse rolled it's eyes and stamped it's feet, teased and
|
||
|
ready to buck.
|
||
|
"Okay, break it UP!" Harry shoved his way to the animal's side.
|
||
|
Groans of protest emerged from the crowd. "Look, this is legal in
|
||
|
Jersey, but in public it's still obscene. Get your asses arrested on
|
||
|
your OWN time, and not on MY set!"
|
||
|
The spectators started moved away. Harry bent down and picked the
|
||
|
woman up. When she unhooked her mouth, thin cum spurted from the
|
||
|
horse's cock, splashing over his pressed pants.
|
||
|
"Aw, shit." Harry shook his leg. "Lady, you've just been fired.
|
||
|
Get out of here."
|
||
|
Redhead wiped her mouth. "Tell me you didn't enjoy it."
|
||
|
"I didn't enjoy it. Damn, it's in my shoes!"
|
||
|
The woman stepped towards him, grabbing him by the crotch, quickly
|
||
|
and firmly. She looked straight in his eyes, feeling him up. Harry
|
||
|
almost decked her.
|
||
|
Puzzled, she stepped back. "You are a cold bastard, aren't you?"
|
||
|
Some security guards had arrived, and Harry turned to face them. "If
|
||
|
this horse is one of mine, get him aboard." He looked at the woman. "I
|
||
|
don't care what you do with Red. Just get her off my fucking dock."
|
||
|
Some guards moved to obey orders, while others firmly pushed the
|
||
|
remaining spectators away. Harry looked around as the crowd left,
|
||
|
making sure no one but his performers had witnessed the event.
|
||
|
A tall young lad, wearing a leather jacket covered with 'wolf'
|
||
|
buttons and a beat-up hat was watching from outside the fence. His
|
||
|
mustache twitched as he watched the events on the dock. Harry went over
|
||
|
to him. "Look, pal, nothing to see here."
|
||
|
"What's going on here?" asked the stranger.
|
||
|
Harry sighed and looked at his watch. "Hey, you look like a nice
|
||
|
kid. Go home and forget what you just saw, okay? You don't want to get
|
||
|
involved with these people." He waved over a security guard to take
|
||
|
care of the visitor, and ran up the gangplank.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once on the ship, Harry and Ray stopped to rest. Ray took out a hip
|
||
|
flask. "Just like the good old days, huh, Harry?"
|
||
|
"Never again. Never anything this big. I don't care if it nets me
|
||
|
ten million. Never again am I gonna do this crap." He tried shaking
|
||
|
his leg dry once more.
|
||
|
"Hey, the audience is out there -- you said it yourself. Just have
|
||
|
to create more product."
|
||
|
"Yeah, but I'm not sure the product works in big production. Look at
|
||
|
the mess we went through, just to make the filming legal. We're on a
|
||
|
fucking ark, for chrissake." Harry saw Christian, the stable manager,
|
||
|
round the corner. "Great. Ray, where's my cabin?"
|
||
|
Ray gulped down his whiskey and frowned. "uh, there's four head
|
||
|
cabins -- pick one. Haven't really assigned them yet..."
|
||
|
"Which ones are free? Which are you sleeping in? Hi, Chris."
|
||
|
Ray winked. "I've got a bed tonight. And someone to share it with.
|
||
|
Want to come along? -- you can work the camera." The little man
|
||
|
grinned.
|
||
|
Harry clenched his fists. "Ray, you keep drinking, it'll kill you.
|
||
|
Or I will." He looked straight at Christian, who was standing there
|
||
|
with a strange look. "Yes, can I help you, or should I pay you for
|
||
|
looking stupid?"
|
||
|
The manager straightened. "Fuck you, Harry. I don't take shit from
|
||
|
anyone who smells like a goddamn A.V." He smiled. "Insult contest --
|
||
|
score one for me. What the hell happened, Harry?"
|
||
|
"It's a fucking zoo out there, and you're supposed to be in charge.
|
||
|
And that contest didn't count -- what the hell's an A.V. anyway?"
|
||
|
Christian smiled again and moved to the gangplank. "I'll take care
|
||
|
of it, smearless leader. And the score is still Christian: ten million,
|
||
|
A.V. Smith: zip." He walked out and down to the pier.
|
||
|
Harry looked at him leave. "Ray, why did I hire him in the first
|
||
|
place? And what the hell is an A.V.?"
|
||
|
"Equine marital aid -- sort of Trigger's best friend." Ray chuckled,
|
||
|
grinning. "He just called you a pussy, Harry. You want to fire him
|
||
|
now, or later?"
|
||
|
Harry rubbed his eyes and started walking again. "Later. First I
|
||
|
change my shoes."
|
||
|
They made it all of the way to the main staircase when one of the
|
||
|
casting directors found them. Harry tried to ignore the man, but was
|
||
|
stopped by a manuscript waving in his face.
|
||
|
"Hey, Harry -- read this story. I checked, and we have every animal
|
||
|
we need to stage it!"
|
||
|
"Yeah, yeah. Who's the author? Do we have the rights?"
|
||
|
"No, we don't need rights. This guy won't mind."
|
||
|
Harry flipped through the pages, scanning the last one.
|
||
|
" '...in the flesh', huh? Cheeky bastard."
|
||
|
"Hey, this guy's hot, Harry!"
|
||
|
"Sure, sure." He tossed the papers back. "Look, it's all just smut
|
||
|
to me. You don't have a copyright, I can't use it. Don't need
|
||
|
lawsuits."
|
||
|
"But there's no lawyers where this guy comes from, just sheep!"
|
||
|
Harry walked away. "And people to fleece 'em, and people to screw
|
||
|
'em. Sounds like lawyer heaven to me."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Harry changed and showered, and was dressed before he realized the
|
||
|
boat was moving. A fairly pleasant rocking motion, he noted. With
|
||
|
pleasure he congratulated himself for having no problems on his first
|
||
|
ocean voyage.
|
||
|
By dinnertime he was in agony. With hunger came nausea, and by the
|
||
|
time he met Ray in the dining room he was positively green. He swayed
|
||
|
over to the table and sat down. Ray looked at him, a mixed drink in his
|
||
|
hand and a big grin on his face.
|
||
|
"Not one word", Harry growled. He looked for a waiter. The dining
|
||
|
room was crowded with performers, made up and dressed up, looking to
|
||
|
boast about themselves or just get laid.
|
||
|
Even Ray had on his best suit and most evil face. "May I recommend
|
||
|
the cheeseburger with avacado and bacon? It comes with a nice, greasy
|
||
|
sauce. Strange shade of green, though."
|
||
|
"Shut up, you little bastard." No waiter was in sight, and so he
|
||
|
sipped from his water glass. Across the room entered a young blond
|
||
|
girl, with a plain face and simple beach clothes. She looked around
|
||
|
timidly, obviously without a friend in the room, and too bashful to make
|
||
|
any.
|
||
|
Something about her face or her stance made Harry curious. "Ray, who
|
||
|
is that?"
|
||
|
Ray looked up from his drink. "Hmmn. One of the performers, I
|
||
|
think. Stage name Princess. Don't know her real name. Dog fucker."
|
||
|
Harry watched the girl shyly look for a table. "She doesn't seem the
|
||
|
type. For any of this."
|
||
|
"Ah, I'm sure she's as evil as the rest of us." He cracked a smile.
|
||
|
"Call her over, Harry, she might be good for you."
|
||
|
Harry winced. "And cracking your fucking skull might be good for
|
||
|
you." He waved the girl over. She saw him and looked around her to see
|
||
|
who he was waving at. He pointed and mouthed, Yes, You! Puzzled, she
|
||
|
walked over and sat down.
|
||
|
As she came closer, Harry saw that she was wearing no makeup at all.
|
||
|
She stood next to him, curious and unsure. "Princess, isn't it? Sit
|
||
|
down -- you look like you need a table mate." Harry guestered towards a
|
||
|
chair.
|
||
|
Princess sat down. "You're mister Smith, right? The Producer?"
|
||
|
Harry gave a little bow. Ray grinned. "Don't worry, darling, he
|
||
|
doesn't use a casting couch. Or stable, for that matter."
|
||
|
Harry gave Ray a serious look. "Ignore my sotted friend here. I was
|
||
|
just noticing -- you don't look like you're trolling for a warm body
|
||
|
tonight. Most everyone here is."
|
||
|
Princess blushed and looked down. "I'm not very interested, thank
|
||
|
you."
|
||
|
The producer was even more intrigued by her shyness. Actors are
|
||
|
rarely shy -- or as innocent as this girl. "Look, how long have you
|
||
|
been doing this? Why are you here?"
|
||
|
She looked straight at him. "All my life. Because I want to be.
|
||
|
Any other questions?"
|
||
|
"Well, if you're in trouble or anything, let me know, and I can help.
|
||
|
Or if you really want to go through with it, look through the kennels, I
|
||
|
can cast you opposite anything you want..."
|
||
|
Princess stood up, insulted. "I brought my own 'actor', thank you.
|
||
|
He's staying in my cabin. And I'm here because I wanted to be. It's
|
||
|
just not what I expected, that's all." She then walked, without looking
|
||
|
back, out of the dining room.
|
||
|
Harry and Ray looked at each other. Ray smirked. "I think we just
|
||
|
met the big 'Z', Harry."
|
||
|
Harry nodded. "Zoophile. Had to be one aboard." He sighed. "I
|
||
|
really prefer the dogfuckers. Professionals, just want their money.
|
||
|
And they don't care if you send the dog to the pound the next day --
|
||
|
just as long as they're paid."
|
||
|
"Yeah, she's probably upset to be among all these beasties. Tough
|
||
|
luck."
|
||
|
Harry looked out the doorway. "Hope she's all right." Ray looked at
|
||
|
him slyly. "Hope she can perform", Harry amended.
|
||
|
"Uh, huh." Ray took another drink.
|
||
|
|
||
|
That night, Harry took Dramamine and went to bed early, intending to
|
||
|
go over the scripts for filming tomorrow. Being on the topmost deck,
|
||
|
his cabin was quieter than most; but even so, sounds drifted up from the
|
||
|
lower decks. Sounds that he could not all identify. Something like a
|
||
|
human being screamed in orgasm every ten minutes, in one part of the
|
||
|
ship or another. He heard the barking of dogs and neighing of horses
|
||
|
almost constantly. A steady thumping came from the cabin below him,
|
||
|
continuing for almost two hours before he decided to walk the ship and
|
||
|
exhaust himself to sleep.
|
||
|
He was in the portside stable when he found Ray, swaying back and
|
||
|
forth. The man seemed to be walking aimlessly, but smiled when he saw
|
||
|
Harry. "Hey, hoped I'd find you. What you doing 'round here?"
|
||
|
Harry pretended to examine the makeshift stable. "Just checking
|
||
|
things. Ray, I thought you had a bed tonight. Change her mind?"
|
||
|
"He changed his mind, yes. Got a better offer from someone with a
|
||
|
pet. I don't get into that stuff, you know."
|
||
|
"Yeah, I know. Well, to each his own." He continued walking along
|
||
|
the stalls. "I just couldn't sleep with all of this racket -- it's
|
||
|
ridiculous! I'm surprised noone's jumped overboard to screw dolphins
|
||
|
yet."
|
||
|
"Heh, heh. Actually, I heard some people talking about it."
|
||
|
"I'll tell the captain to throw garbage instead of life preservers.
|
||
|
Why aren't you out looking?"
|
||
|
Ray waved his arms and staggered a bit. "Maybe I was hoping you'd
|
||
|
change your sexual preference? Naah... you like being chaste." He
|
||
|
winked and grinned madly.
|
||
|
Harry tightened his jaw. "Ray, you're drunk. Go sleep it off, and
|
||
|
try again tomorrow. Somewhere else."
|
||
|
The pair stopped at a pig stall to look inside. The pig was rocking
|
||
|
back and forth, humping the mud provided, obviously frustrated and over-
|
||
|
excited. Ray watched for a second. "Geeze, Harry. What did they do to
|
||
|
this guy, to get him like this?"
|
||
|
Harry looked away. "Nothing. We interview the animals, too, you
|
||
|
know. They aren't willing, they don't make the cut."
|
||
|
Ray leaned against the stall. "Makes you a bit envious, I bet."
|
||
|
"What?"
|
||
|
Ray smiled broadly. "I know your secret, Harry. You and I got
|
||
|
smashed together that night, remember? Right after that donkey lady
|
||
|
tried to pin the tail on you. You told me ..."
|
||
|
"Watch it, Ray." Harry clenched his fist.
|
||
|
"...you haven't gotten it up for years. I bet you don't even
|
||
|
remember how it feels."
|
||
|
Harry's fist said hello to Ray's smile, and the small man fell
|
||
|
backwards. After a quick check, Harry lifted the unconscious man and
|
||
|
dumped him into the pig pen on his belly. Mr. Pig joyfully climbed on
|
||
|
top of Ray, humping merrily.
|
||
|
"Take it easy, stud. You've got a show to do in the morning." Harry
|
||
|
called back as he left. "And be careful! Polyester can leave a nasty
|
||
|
rug burn!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Harry slept poorly, and got up late. The cameraman and directors can
|
||
|
handle it for a while, he thought. When he finally made his way to the
|
||
|
studio in the cargo hold, he had lost track of the time, and the script
|
||
|
schedule. When he entered, he blinked twice at the figures on the
|
||
|
stage. A large dog was screwing a small goat, mounted and thrusting in
|
||
|
earnest, with the firm help of a few naked women.
|
||
|
Harry rolled his eyes and sat in the chair marked 'Producer'. Noting
|
||
|
that Ray was not there, he turned to the cameraman. "Bill, wake me when
|
||
|
this is over. You know the schedule -- just follow it." Bill nodded,
|
||
|
and went back to his viewfinder.
|
||
|
When, several 'acts' later Ray had still not appeared, Harry called a
|
||
|
stagehand over and whispered in his ear. "Tell Ray to get his ass over
|
||
|
here -- he's got a job to do. I don't care how hungover he is!" The
|
||
|
aide hurried out the door -- just as Princess entered. Harry's eyes
|
||
|
instantly went to her.
|
||
|
Her plain clothes had been replaced by a cotton nightshirt, hanging
|
||
|
to her knees. Harry caught himself staring at the hem of her shirt,
|
||
|
certain that there was nothing underneath. Beside her loomed a shaggy
|
||
|
Newfoundland. The dog sat down without a word from the girl, loyal and
|
||
|
attentive.
|
||
|
Princess looked around the room, no longer shy but determined, and
|
||
|
moved towards the stage. A clap on her thigh signalled the dog to
|
||
|
follow. She sat down on the stage bed, and began running her fingers
|
||
|
through the big dog's fur. Slowly and tenderly, without any regard for
|
||
|
her schedule, she scratched the Newfie's neck and shoulders.
|
||
|
Something inside Harry told him that this scene would sell. "Bill,
|
||
|
turn on the camera."
|
||
|
"uh, Harry, she's not even naked yet..."
|
||
|
"Do it." Harry leaned forward, interested in how this innocent would
|
||
|
perform.
|
||
|
Princess and her dog ignored everyone in the studio, intent upon each
|
||
|
other. She scratched his sides, making him puff out his chest and
|
||
|
snuffle the bed beside her. Expertly, she stroked her fingernails
|
||
|
through the Newfie's tail and over his back, following the flowing
|
||
|
curves. A light hand travelled along his soft chest, gently caressing
|
||
|
the dog's black sheath. She continued to scratch innocently and fondle
|
||
|
seductively, until he turned to face her. His muzzle explored the hem
|
||
|
of her nightshirt -- his huge brown eyes looked at her questioningly.
|
||
|
Harry held his breath as Princess pulled up her shirt. A plain body,
|
||
|
but a pretty one, revealed itself, and the big dog sniffed her exposed
|
||
|
flesh. She leaned forwards to let him reach her breasts, and he slurped
|
||
|
at them delicately. She smiled, and reached further beneath him. The
|
||
|
Newfie's thick fur hid most of the action along his belly. Occasionally
|
||
|
her hand, wrapped around a bulging sheath, pulsed into view.
|
||
|
The Newfoundland, bent almost double, tried to sniff closer to
|
||
|
Princess' groin. The angle proved to be wrong, and the big dog could
|
||
|
not move his muzzle into position without denying her access to his
|
||
|
belly. So he stepped back, disengaging from her -- and then, wagging
|
||
|
his shaggy tail, headed nose first between her legs. Princess smiled,
|
||
|
and looked around at the assembled people.
|
||
|
Most of the stage hands were busy, running in circles. The scene
|
||
|
director was chatting with another performer in a loose negligee. Bill
|
||
|
the cameraman had a magazine between his legs, and looked up only
|
||
|
seldomly to check focus.
|
||
|
Harry watched, eyes locked on this girl. Princess made no notice of
|
||
|
his attention. The Newfoundland nuzzled her crotch, lapping at her
|
||
|
labia with his wide, wet tongue. She scratched behind his ears and
|
||
|
whispered encouragement. Needing none, the big dog continued washing
|
||
|
her sex in earnest. The flat tongue stroked her glans and she shivered.
|
||
|
The next few licks slid deeply into her, the dog slowing his tempo as
|
||
|
his mistress' hands tightened on his jowls, and her jaw dropped into a
|
||
|
smile.
|
||
|
Harry could not believe she had just had an orgasm. Not a single
|
||
|
yell, or thrashing of her hair. Never before, not in front of his
|
||
|
camera... Actresses like that just didn't get the part. Yet he found
|
||
|
the change pleasing -- incredibly so.
|
||
|
Princess lifted her dog's head, and they stared into each other's
|
||
|
eyes for a second. Then, licking his chops, the Newfie placed his front
|
||

legs on her lap and moved towards her. She fell back, pulling the furry
|
||
|
monster over her torso. The dog's thick cock was barely visible between
|
||
|
the pair as he pressed himself into her.
|
||
|
In the corner of his eye, Harry noticed Bill zooming into a crotch-
|
||
|
only shot. He spoke from the corner of his mouth, eyes forward. "Bill,
|
||
|
get a wide shot. Full view." Bill grumbled about knowing how to shoot
|
||
|
a scene, but complied.
|
||
|
Doggie bucked and rocked, his nose pointed upwards, smiling and
|
||
|
panting with his thrusts. Only his balls, slapping between his lover's
|
||
|
thighs, could be seen now -- his length was totally within her, and his
|
||
|
motions became faster and shallower as he was caught deep within.
|
||
|
Princess, bending her legs around the big dog, was trying to pull him
|
||
|
in deeper. She gripped his fur, straining, and smiled. The Newfie
|
||
|
panted out a few more powerful thrusts, and she arched her back,
|
||
|
pressing herself into his fur. Shortly, spent but locked within her,
|
||
|
Newfie started licking the sweat off her neck, as she caressed him, eyes
|
||
|
closed and smiling.
|
||
|
Finally Harry was able to tear his eyes away. Fear hit him -- fear
|
||
|
that everyone would see the way he was staring at the two lovers. He
|
||
|
carefully avoided staring, stood up with difficulty, and called over
|
||
|
another aide.
|
||
|
"Look...find Ray. Tell him...tell him I'm sorry...he's got the day
|
||
|
off." Harry turned to the cameraman as the aide walked away. "Bill,
|
||
|
keep that camera rolling through the tie for me. Push the schedule back
|
||
|
if you have to. And...bring the tape to my cabin, when you have a
|
||
|
break, okay? Thanks, Bill." Bill shrugged and went back to his
|
||
|
reading.
|
||
|
Harry walked, stiffly, from the set. Blushing, he made his way to
|
||
|
his cabin, confused about the scene he had just witnessed and his
|
||
|
reaction. But as he limped, painfully, towards his cabin, he did manage
|
||
|
to wonder when and why he had started wearing briefs...
