NICKY AND THE PORN QUEEN
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nicky couldn't stand it. In fact, Nicky the Ghoul was reaching a breaking
|
|
point. Ever since his girl Lisa (also a ghoul) had made her debut in the
|
|
adult film Lesbian Vampyres of Sodom, he couldn't go anywhere with her
|
|
without every red-blooded male over twelve years of age obscenely ogling
|
|
his girl. Not to the mall. Not to a burger joint. Not even to the fucking
|
|
gas station where the morons running the place fell all over themselves
|
|
just to pump gas for the woman now known as Lisa Lust.
|
|
|
|
Take the ball game at Cashman Field in Las Vegas last June, for
|
|
instance. Nicky thought a baseball game would be a perfect escape from the
|
|
drooling masses. Thus, conservatively dressed in grays, browns, and
|
|
greens, like two affluent young Americans, Nicky and Lisa had just sat
|
|
down in their seats behind home plate when three pimply-faced adolescent
|
|
boys came running over from their seats behind third base and stood not
|
|
three feet from the ghoulish duo; the kids were panting like young animals
|
|
in heat. Nicky guessed these punks were thirteen or fourteen years old.
|
|
"Oh, wow!" yelled the breathless short overweight kid wearing thick
|
|
dark-rimmed glasses and a black T-shirt that had "Ozzie Rules" stenciled in
|
|
red across the front. "Are you Lisa Lust? Are ya? Huh?" Nicky thought he
|
|
could see this kid's glasses fogging up.
|
|
"I sure am, Sugarboy," mewed Lisa, flattered almost beyond words
|
|
that she would be recognized even in a minor league baseball park. A
|
|
gorgeous woman with shaggy blonde hair, killer blue eyes, and a figure that
|
|
would give even the Pope a hard-on, Lisa removed her sun glasses and batted
|
|
her eye lashes to give the boy a better look.
|
|
"Lady," exclaimed another of the punks, a middle-sized boy who wore
|
|
a blue New York Mets shirt and whose dark hair had been shaved into a V,
|
|
"you were great! Can we have an autograph or something?" The kid rubbed his
|
|
crotch.
|
|
"Uh, whaddya mean by 'somethin',' stud?" Lisa coyly cooed. The boy
|
|
howled. Breathing deeply to force himself to relax, Nicky closed his eyes
|
|
and prayed that these boys would disappear.
|
|
Overwhelmed by her week-old popularity, Lisa smiled, popped her
|
|
gum, and asked, "Whaddya want me to autograph, guys?" She gave the third
|
|
boy, a tall red-head wearing a Chicago Bulls cap and a T-shirt that read
|
|
"Nine-Inch Nails," a wink and glanced obviously at the bulge in his pants.
|
|
Nicky had had enough. He stood and removed his sunglasses. "Would
|
|
you three twisted little perverts just get the fuck outa here!" he shouted,
|
|
his booming voice carrying across the playing field so that some of the
|
|
players warming up on the infield grass paused and looked up. As the three
|
|
kids bolted like badly frightened rabbits, Nicky puts his hands on his
|
|
hips and looked down at Lisa. Lisa was on the verge of tears.
|
|
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, thought Nicky to himself, here we go again; I
|
|
need blood pressure medication or something. "Hey, look Sweetheart," Nicky
|
|
began, trying to turn the evening around, "lemme go get us some eats. Hot
|
|
dogs and beer. You like a beer, honey?" Nicky put his face next to Lisa's,
|
|
smelled her hair, and kissed his girl on the cheek. He and Lisa drank a lot
|
|
of beer when they were alone watching the tube and fucking each other's
|
|
brains out.
|
|
But Lisa was not to be moved. "I don't want nothin'," she sourly
|
|
mumbled, folding her arms and sticking out her lower lip, a porn queen
|
|
pouting at the ball park.
|
|
What a fucked-up night, thought the ghoul to himself. Wishing that
|
|
they had stayed home to watch Home Improvement or even Buffy the Vampire
|
|
Slayer, Nicky sighed, ran his fingers through his long, disheveled black
|
|
hair, and said, "All right, but I gotta go take a piss." Nicky hoped that
|
|
when he got back, things would be better.
|
|
When Nicky came back, Lisa was in a better mood, but not because of
|
|
him. When the ghoul returned with two beers, one for himself and one for
|
|
Lisa, he found his seat occupied by a huge middle-aged man with
|
|
shoulder-length dirty brown hair, a hairy pock-marked face, tattoos up and
|
|
down his arms, and a red and black T-shirt that read "Boob Cruise '96" on
|
|
the back. A huge smile on her face, Lisa was writing something on the back
|
|
of this guy's T-shirt. Nicky paused long enough to set the beer down on one
|
|
of the concrete steps and decide his next move. Then he walked up to Lisa
|
|
and her new boyfriend and commanded in a firm voice, "Get lost, old man.
|
|
This is my girl."
|
|
Nicky looked down at the big man, hoping this guy wouldn't be
|
|
stupid enough to cause trouble.
|
|
"Not no more she ain't, you fuckin' runt, " said the lummox, who
|
|
stood, clenched his beefy fists, gritted his teeth, and scowled. Nicky
|
|
wondered how many steroids this guy was on. "This girl's now public
|
|
property-or should that be 'pubic' property?" the huge man stated. "She
|
|
said I got real nice buns." The muscular man towered over Nicky and easily
|
|
weighed three hundred pounds. A ghoul of medium build but with huge,
|
|
muscular arms as well, Nicky ran his fingers through his hair again, looked
|
|
out at the flag now blowing east on the wall above center field, and
|
|
wished he were a baseball player instead of the lover of America's newest
|
|
porn queen.
|
|
Then, suddenly, Nicky went into action. As she always did when
|
|
Nicky fought, Lisa shrieked and laughed simultaneously. It was like a game
|
|
to her. It was just as he grabbed the man by the throat and dragged him out
|
|
into the aisle like a straw doll that Nicky realized he'd seen this guy on
|
|
the wrestling channel. He was called Pile Driver, one of Nicky all-time
|
|
favorites. And Pile Driver was always one of the good guys. In fact, next
|
|
week on pay-per-view Pile Driver was supposed to wrestle The Beast for the
|
|
championship in a no-holds barred iron-cage match. It was a match Nicky had
|
|
looked forward to for a month.
|
|
His rage dissipating, Nicky sat on the guy's chest (security
|
|
guards madly rushing to the scene of the altercation) and decided against
|
|
crushing his opponent's throat, an easy task for a ghoul who had the
|
|
strength of ten men. He saw that the Pile Driver was already starting to
|
|
turn blue.
|
|
"Listen, Pile Driver," Nicky placed his face about an inch from
|
|
that of his opponent and rasped in a bestial and guttural voice that
|
|
emanated from the core of his black and eternally damned soul, "you big
|
|
mound of flesh, you ever fuck with my girl again I'll rip out your tongue
|
|
and eyes and shove 'em up your ass. Got it?"
|
|
Terrified, shaking, and sweating, Pile Driver meekly nodded his
|
|
head. Nicky held the man by the throat for a few more minutes until Pile
|
|
Driver began to cry.
|
|
When Nicky let him up, Pile Driver whimpered, dried his eyes,
|
|
rubbed his throat, gave the ghoul one last frightened look and sprinted up
|
|
the aisle. The security guards, all overweight retired men, stood ten
|
|
rows up, afraid to approach the ghoul.
|
|
Nicky sat down just as the first pitch was thrown. Lisa looked
|
|
over at him, put her hand between his knees, and squeezed the ghoul's
|
|
manhood. Then, in a tone that said "Oh, honey, I wish you could fuck me
|
|
now," she purred "You're so brave and tough, Nicky. I just love it when
|
|
you scare the shit outa people like that."
|
|
"Lisa, honey," Nicky responded in the sweetest, most charming voice
|
|
he could muster, "just shut the fuck up and drink your beer."
|
|
Things were not to get better for Lisa and Nicky as Lisa's fame
|
|
spread like a wild fire. Again, take the now famous Southern Utah incident,
|
|
which occurred about three weeks after the ball game. Like Christ escaping
|
|
the masses, Nicky, Lisa and their best friend Alex the Werewolf had decided
|
|
to drive up to Southern Utah during the middle of the week, do some
|
|
fishing, and maybe even take in some Shakespeare, whose plays were
|
|
performed annually every summer in Cedar City. Alex would drive his
|
|
Plymouth '76 convertible and play Big Band music all the way from Vegas.
|
|
It was late July, a full-moon night. The three arrived in
|
|
Otter-sixty miles north of Cedar City--around 2:00 in the afternoon,
|
|
checked into the old Stag Motel, and kicked back in their room, watching
|
|
Gilligan's Island, McHale's Navy, and Leave It to Beaver reruns, until
|
|
about nine PM when Alex suggested they get a bite to eat.
|
|
In a good mood, they walked down Main to a restaurant called El
|
|
Bambi, the building worn and dilapidated on the outside and on the inside
|
|
one of the dirtiest restaurants any of them had ever seen. The tables were
|
|
sticky, the silverware dirty, and bits of food littered the faded red
|
|
carpet. It was enough to make a ghoul sick. Nicky sat next to Alex and
|
|
across from Lisa in a cherry-red upholstered booth right next to the
|
|
entrance. A thin bespectacled intellectual type with light brown hair, a
|
|
beard and a mustache, Alex was getting buzzed drinking coffee and
|
|
excitedly explaining to Lisa Michel Foucault's theories of prisons as they
|
|
applied to the development of restrictive systems of Western thought.
|
|
Fascinated, Lisa occasionally exclaimed things like "Wow, Alex!" and "I
|
|
didn't know that!" and "Huh??" As Alex droned on, Nicky worked on his
|
|
second Bambi's Double Deluxe Cheeseburger and selected a couple of
|
|
favorite pieces from the small jukebox: Nazareth's "Love Hurts" and
|
|
Boston's "Foreplay."
|
|
Ignoring most of what Alex said and listening to the music, Nicky
|
|
was now silently blaming himself for Lisa's incredible rise in popularity
|
|
among American males. It was like he was losing his girl. Certainly, the
|
|
blonde ditz sitting across from him wasn't the same old Lisa he had met at
|
|
the Fourteenth Annual Southern Nevada Blood Feast years ago. In fact,
|
|
thinking back over the past year and a half as he put his fourth bottle of
|
|
Wolf's Head beer to his lips, he wished he'd never, never encouraged Lisa
|
|
to try her wings in the porn business. On the advice of Lisa's therapist,
|
|
who claimed that Lisa had rock-bottom self-esteem, Nicky had contacted an
|
|
old friend and gotten his girl involved in the adult film industry.
|
|
Drinking his beer, tuning out Alex, and studying his girlfriend's
|
|
half-exposed and very large tits as she ate her lamb chops, Nicky recalled
|
|
that five months after journeying to Tahiti to make Lesbian Vampyres of
|
|
Sodom with Ricky Studd, Lisa's film had been released to theaters and book
|
|
stores around the country. For the first few days after the film's
|
|
release, Nicky was actually happy for Lisa: Lisa could go nowhere without
|
|
twenty or thirty people recognizing her; her mood notably brightened. But
|
|
things got out of hand. There was the ball game, for instance, when Nicky
|
|
had nearly taken the life of his favorite wrestler. Then there was an ugly
|
|
incident at the college involving one of Lisa's male professors, who
|
|
claimed that his interest in porn stars was entirely academic. There was
|
|
a bloody altercation with a softball team in Denny's parking lot late one
|
|
night when he, Alex and Lisa had gone out to get something to eat. And sure
|
|
as shit, something was going to happen tonight. Nicky could feel it in his
|
|
bones.
|
|
Indeed, El Bambi was the sort of place where trouble always
|
|
occurred. Located in the middle of some of the richest farm land in the
|
|
Southwest, the dark, dinghy little dive seemed to attract everything that
|
|
crept and crawled through the desert night.
|
|
For example, in the next booth behind them Nicky noticed a young
|
|
lady wearing a sexy black dress that reached to just below the crotch. With
|
|
wild raven hair and a ton of mascara around her eyes, the lady had
|
|
unbuttoned the dress down to her belly button. Nicky could even see her
|
|
nipples. She wore black fish-net stockings and probably nothing else
|
|
underneath. Nothing like advertising, Nicky thought to himself, sure that
|
|
he had seen the prostitute in Vegas.
|
|
At a booth just across from theirs sat four young men, early
|
|
twenties Nicky guessed, all dressed in black, hair dyed black, their faces
|
|
pale as death, sitting upright, coked to the gills, and mumbling and
|
|
laughing together. A group of Satanists, most likely, out for a good time
|
|
in Southern Utah. They couldn't take their eyes off Lisa. Nicky knew
|
|
these guys recognized Lisa Lust.
|
|
Finally, in a booth in the back of the room sat three men, all
|
|
sporting scruffy beards and wearing baseball caps. For twenty minutes,
|
|
these yokels had silently, unceasingly gawked at his girl. Obviously, they
|
|
too had recognized Lisa. Dressed in dirty jeans, flannel shirts, and black
|
|
work boots, these three clowns continued to drink their beer and stare and
|
|
point at Lisa, occasionally letting out a wolf-whistle. When Lisa turned
|
|
around, one of the men--a balding fellow with fat cheeks and a huge golden
|
|
toothpick hanging from his mouth--stuck out and wriggled his tongue
|
|
obscenely at her.
|
|
"Hey, Nicky," Lisa exclaimed excitedly, turning around and cutting
|
|
Alex off in mid-sentence (Alex was explaining Stanley's Fish's theories
|
|
regarding reader-response criticism)... "Hey, Nick, diddya see what that
|
|
one guy just done? Funny, huh? They gotta know who I am."
|
|
Of course the ghoul had seen it. No, it wasn't funny. And everyone
|
|
seemed to know who Lisa was; therein lay the problem. "Don't worry about
|
|
it," Nicky said coldly, taking a huge bite out of his burger. "You ignore
|
|
them, they ignore you. They're dumb fucks. That's the way it's gotta work."
|
|
Nicky was getting sick of this shit.
|
|
Unable to resist, however, Lisa looked around again. This time,
|
|
both the bald man and the small, thin man with a graying crew cut made the
|
|
same obscene gesture towards Lisa with their tongues.
|
|
"Oooohhh, nasty, nasty boys," Lisa said in a whiny playful voice
|
|
loud enough to be heard all the way to the back of the restaurant. Then, to
|
|
Nicky's outrage, the giggling Lisa blew the three men a kiss.
|
|
"Oh, Christ," muttered Nicky, tossing his hamburger down on his
|
|
plate as he watched the three men get up from their table, smile, and
|
|
hitch their jeans. Hands shoved deep into their pockets, the men slowly
|
|
sauntered over, bringing the unmistakable odor of pig shit with them.
|
|
The biggest of the three weighed close to three hundred pounds, had
|
|
dark blonde curly hair and resembled John Goodman. He wore a blue hat
|
|
that said "Earl" in bright yellow letters.
|
|
"Well, well, well, what we got here, Phil?" Earl asked to one of
|
|
the men, moving closer to Lisa and putting his hand on her shoulder.
|
|
"Looks to me like we got ourselves some ass tonight, Earl. Some
|
|
honest-to-God poontang," answered the small man, who eyed Nicky
|
|
maliciously. "Hello, Lisa Lust," he said.
|
|
"Hello, boys," said Lisa, flattered.
|
|
As Nicky waited for the event to unfold, Alex put his book down
|
|
onto the table, removed his glasses, and said to the three men, "Pardon me
|
|
for being so terribly rude, but we three were just passing through, really,
|
|
minding our own business. You really have no right to so rudely interrupt
|
|
us. I assure you, we shall be done in a jiff and then we'll be out of
|
|
here. Flash. Bang. Gone. Now please go away." Nicky picked up his
|
|
hamburger and gave it an enormous bite.
|
|
"Ain't no one goin' no where, little man. An' the porn queen here
|
|
sure as hell ain't goin' anywhere without us," said the bald man with the
|
|
golden toothpick. "Anyone goes anywhere, it's her. She is a-comin' with
|
|
us. We just wanna have a little fun is all."
|
|
Nicky's response surprised everyone, even himself. "OK, fellas,"
|
|
he conceded, his head in his hands, "go ahead and take her. I don't give a
|
|
fuck no more. But have her back here in, oh, say, three hours." Nicky
|
|
then looked away from Lisa and the three men, studied his plate, picked up,
|
|
and bit into his cheeseburger.
|
|
"Nicky!" Lisa shouted. "You serious? All these guys wanna do is
|
|
fuck me. Which ain't bad. Everybody does. But you just gonna lemme go
|
|
without sayin' shit?"
|
|
"Nicholas," Alex exclaimed, using the name that signified that he
|
|
was quite upset over his ghoulish friend's decision, "just what do you
|
|
think you are doing.? Use your head, my dear good friend."
|
|
"Gentlemen?" Nicky looked imploringly at the three red necks. Fed
|
|
up with Lisa's antics, he hoped this would teach his girl a lesson she
|
|
would never forget.
|
|
"Nicky the Ghoul!!" exclaimed Lisa, stunned by her boy friend's
|
|
behavior. "I am really, really, really kinda disappointed in you. I
|
|
guess." Then, shrugging her shoulders and looking up at the three men, then
|
|
glancing back at Nicky, she smiled hugely and, giving in to temptation,
|
|
said, "Well, huh, let's go, boys."
|
|
"Now that's what I call a real good girl," said Earl, his voice
|
|
soft and mellow. "You comin' on a ride in the back o' my truck with the
|
|
three of us. Your boyfriend and his girlish friend here," and here the man
|
|
looked contemptuously at Alex, "they can sure as hell come along and watch.
|
|
Prob'ly all they're good for anyhow." Staring straight ahead at nothing in
|
|
particular, Nicky just nodded as Earl gently took Lisa by the right arm
|
|
and helped her out of the booth. Then Lisa and the three country yokels
|
|
walked out of the restaurant and into the night.
|
|
Incensed, always concerned with the ethics of any situation, Alex
|
|
looked at Nicky. "Nick," he began, "what have you just done? Are you
|
|
insane?"
|
|
"I let my girl go," came the subdued answer. Somewhat puzzled by
|
|
his own behavior, Nicky stared into the dark space at the back of the
|
|
restaurant. "She's a big ole porn star now. She dreams about everyone
|
|
fuckin' her. It was like she wanted those guys. So Lisa gets her way is
|
|
all." "But, but, but--but that's your girl, Nicholas. I mean,
|
|
c'mon, man. I don't think she thinks that. She's fucking with you."
|
|
"Not no more she's not my girl," sighed Nicky, finally picking up
|
|
his burger and biting into it; "now she's a star and all that, everyone
|
|
wants her--and I guess she wants everyone. Hell with her." Though he spoke
|
|
the words of rejection, Nicky felt as if he'd given away his right arm.
|
|
"Lord above! Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" Alex responded,
|
|
incredulously, his staunchly Roman Catholic background emerging. Secretly,
|
|
Alex was also in love with Lisa and didn't want to lose her companionship.
|
|
"This thing with the adult film industry will pass, my friend. Lisa has a
|
|
good heart. And when it does pass, you'll be out a girl friend."
|
|
"Y'know, I don't think I really give a shit," mumbled Nicky, taking
|
|
another bite, trying to hide his hurt feelings. Ten or fifteen minutes
|
|
passed as the two sat in somber silence. Nicky actually felt like crying.
|
|
Maybe Lisa was just playing some kind of stupid and dangerous game.
|
|
Suddenly, both Alex and Nicky heard a squeal and a scream followed by rude,
|
|
course laughter and then more squeals and screams coming from the parking
|
|
lot to the side of the restaurant. Instinctively, Nicky imagined the
|
|
pig-men brutally having their way with Lisa out in the parking lot. It was
|
|
like an electric jolt running through his befuddled brain. Awareness oozed
|
|
back into the ghoul's brain like warm molasses. Nicky began to realize he
|
|
had made an enormous mistake in judgment. What the hell have I done?,
|
|
thought Nicky. This is Lisa I done this to.
|
|
Nicky looked at Alex and saw the malevolent, demonic blaze in his
|
|
friend's now yellowish eyes. Reacting as if some one had just doused him
|
|
with a bucket of ice water, Nicky realized that he had allowed the
|
|
situation to deteriorate to the point of no return. Not only was his girl
|
|
likely getting raped but his best friend Alex was beginning the hideous
|
|
werewolfish transformation-always triggered by rage--that would inevitably
|
|
lead to the bloody death of at least one of the men with Lisa. An unusual
|
|
werewolf, Alex had undergone his hideous yet beautiful transformation more
|
|
than once in order to protect Lisa.
|
|
"Get out," Alex growled--guttural, hollow, sepulchral--at his
|
|
friend, his facial features already subtly darkening and stretching. Alex
|
|
now sounded like a beast that had just learned to speak. "Please, get outa
|
|
my way." Alex' voice was more like a subterranean moan. Knowing he was no
|
|
match for Alex, Nicky quickly edged out of his seat and let his friend
|
|
pass. As Alex ran for the door, tearing his clothes from his body, Nicky
|
|
followed, realizing that he had fucked up royally by giving his one true
|
|
love over to the three men who probably shoveled pig shit for a living.
|
|
When he stepped outside, Nicky heard laughter, screams and squeals
|
|
coming from the other end of the unpaved parking lot, about seventy-five
|
|
yards away. Panic building, Nicky took off running towards the sounds.
|
|
Alex was nowhere to be seen.
|
|
When he came to an old '68 primer gray Ford pickup at the far end
|
|
of the parking lot, Nicky saw that the three men had put his now naked girl
|
|
friend on a mattress on the flat bed of their pickup. While two of the men
|
|
watched and held the porn star, the third one-Earl-climbed onto the truck
|
|
bed, pulled down his pants and, erect manhood in hand, prepared to mount
|
|
Lisa, her legs spread wide. Her hair disheveled, Lisa looked like she had
|
|
been crying. Nicky wondered if he saw marks of blood on Lisa's body and
|
|
face and then remembered that his girl friend was a ghoul: ghouls don't
|
|
have blood.
|
|
Not sure whether Lisa were laughing or crying, Nicky was building
|
|
to a kill when a hollow demonic baying sound tore the darkened night air.
|
|
The sound filled the area, penetrated to the core of Nicky's being, and
|
|
seemed to come from every direction.
|
|
"What the fuck is that?" said the smallest of the men, frightened..
|
|
He had been massaging one of Lisa's tits. "We don't got wolves around this
|
|
part, do we?"
|
|
The three men stopped and looked around. The ear-piercing baying
|
|
from the pit of the damned came again, a supernatural horror ripping into
|
|
the natural realm, this time much closer. Positioned somewhere in the now
|
|
thickening darkness the encircled the men and the truck, the thing was
|
|
almost upon them. All could feel its approach, and Nicky felt the darkly
|
|
energized fury in the savage roar of the hellish thing that he knew lay
|
|
just beyond their circle.
|
|
There was dead weighted silence as everyone--the three men, Lisa,
|
|
and Nicky--waited, as if suspended in vacuum for a brief eternity. All
|
|
heard the low bestial rumbling, the sound indicating that the beast in the
|
|
darkness was madly, insanely moving in circles around them. The evil was
|
|
almost tangible. Then Lisa started giggling uncontrollably.
|
|
"What's so f-f-f-fuckin' funny, bitch?" whispered the bald man, his
|
|
voice trembling.
|
|
"You three guys are fucked is what's so funny, bitch," Lisa
|
|
laughed, sitting up and looking around. "Totally, totally fucked is what
|
|
you guys are."
|
|
There was a pause as everyone, ghouls included, stopped moving or
|
|
speaking, waiting for the evil thing's immanent move.
|
|
Then, in a tiny girlish voice, Lisa spoke to the almost
|
|
impenetrable darkness surrounding them, "Oh, Alex. Aaaaleeeeex. Come out,
|
|
come out where ever you are."
|
|
Having summoned the thing, Lisa paused.
|
|
Exploding from the terrible darkness, the huge beast-thing roared
|
|
and sprang, landing on the screaming Earl, who was brought crashing off
|
|
the truck and to the earth in a cloud of dust. When the dust cleared, a
|
|
huge savagely snarling black and gray wolf stood over Earl, saliva dripping
|
|
from its gaping jaws, looking into the eyes of the visibly terrified,
|
|
trembling man. As the big man squealed like a pig, turned over, pulled up
|
|
his jeans, stood and tried to run, the beast struck swiftly and
|
|
ferociously, leaping and grabbing the man's fat neck in its powerful jaws,
|
|
biting powerfully with
|
|
razor-sharp teeth, instantly severing head from trunk in a shower of
|
|
bloody spray. The bloodied head rolled under the truck as Earl's corpse
|
|
staggered and fell, a crimson gushing fountain staining the earth.
|
|
Of the other two men, the bald one with the golden toothpick
|
|
crawled whining beneath the truck while the other jumped into the cab and
|
|
locked the door. Swiftly, with predatorial ease, the growling beast
|
|
flattened itself and, snarling savagely, crawled under the truck, seized
|
|
one of the man's legs in its powerful jaws, and pulled him out. The man
|
|
was sobbing and screaming something about his wife and kids, knowing he was
|
|
going to die.
|
|
As the man wept "Please, please, please," Alex the beast lunged
|
|
forward and took the man's throat in its massive jaws. Nicky could hear
|
|
the bones, muscle, and cartilage grinding and squishing together as Alex'
|
|
teeth bit through the man's neck.
|
|
The wonderful odor of blood filled the air and Nicky felt reborn.
|
|
It was at that point that Lisa jumped off the pick up, which suddenly took
|
|
off in a flurry of dirt and dust. Determined not to let this third man
|
|
escape, Nicky took off in a sprint. A ghoul who could run three times as
|
|
fast as any man, Nicky caught the vehicle easily and mounted the running
|
|
board. Holding onto the door handle with his right hand Nicky sent his
|
|
left arm crashing through the driver's window. Seizing the man by the
|
|
neck, Nicky jumped off the running board, pulling the body of the screaming
|
|
driver savagely though the broken window.
|
|
As the truck sped off of its own volition, Nicky held the small
|
|
man at arm's length, his huge and powerful ghoul's hand wrapped around the
|
|
man's neck. Then, just when he saw terror rising in his adversary's eyes,
|
|
Nicky squeezed and crushed, blood spurting between his long gray fingers
|
|
and onto his face and clothes.
|
|
Having eaten more than their fill, Nicky, Lisa and Alex sat
|
|
together in the front seat of Alex's Plymouth convertible, its roof down.
|
|
Their evening ruined, they had decided to return to Vegas.
|
|
Because he was driving, Alex had again chosen the music, this time
|
|
a series of Lawrence Welk favorites. Nicky detested his friend's choice in
|
|
music and on numerous occasions had tried to encourage Alex to play some
|
|
contemporary rock. Even something like Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin would
|
|
be better than the shit Alex insisted upon labeling as music. Lisa sat
|
|
between the men, her top off, exposing her wonderful boobs to the night
|
|
sky. It seemed like old times again. In the passenger seat, his left arm
|
|
draped around Lisa's shoulders so he could massage one of her nipples,
|
|
Nicky sat sullenly, silently, wishing the evening had never occurred.
|
|
"Ooooooooh, guys," cooed Lisa, suddenly throwing one arm around
|
|
Nicky's shoulders and the other around Alex, "that was so totally awesome.
|
|
You guys are so fuckin' stud when you get goin'." To Lisa, it was as if
|
|
nothing serious had happened. It was like some kind of stupid game in which
|
|
Nicky and Alex would always be there to save her if she got into trouble.
|
|
"You mean you're not upset with Nicky the Prick? Honey," mumbled
|
|
Nicky, depressed almost beyond words, "they were goin' to fuck you all
|
|
night. Fuck ya to death if they could. I was gonna let 'em. You're my
|
|
girl. Don't that bother you at all? Alex and me heard you screamin'
|
|
bloody murder, for Christ's sake. I almost died inside-and I'm already
|
|
dead."
|
|
"Yeah, maybe I am upset with ya a bit," whined Lisa in a nasal
|
|
sing-song tone, her Eastern upbringing temporarily surfacing, "but I been
|
|
fucked by other guys before. You even seen me on film. I mean, I might not
|
|
have minded so much. Besides, Nicky I'm a ghoul. Those guys wouldn't be
|
|
much of a match for even little ole me. If I'd wanted, I'd of cracked
|
|
their fuckin' skulls and sucked out their flesh. So don't worry, Punkin'.
|
|
You're still cool with me, Nicky."
|
|
Hoping Lisa were just teasing, the exasperated Nicky recalled that
|
|
before he had met her, Lisa had performed for three years with a snake and
|
|
a donkey as a stripper in Tijuana. Maybe he was the one who was missing
|
|
something here. I'll never fuckin' figure out women, Nicky thought to
|
|
himself, never, never, never. Nicky couldn't stand it.
|
|
As Lisa whined on and on in the gorgeous desert night, claiming
|
|
that she liked being a sex object and wouldn't turn down a good gang-bang
|
|
now and then if Nicky didn't mind, Alex turned up his stereo so even the
|
|
coyotes and rattle snakes could get their fill of Lawrence Welk.
|
|
Nicky reached for the twelve-pack at this feet, pulled out two
|
|
beers, popped the tabs, and handed one to Lisa. Nicky just wanted to get
|
|
drunk.
|
|
"Lisa, honey," Nicky yelled into his girl friend's ear, "just drink
|
|
the beer and shut the fuck up. For five fuckin' minutes. Just shut the
|
|
fuck up and drink with me. Let's be like old times."
|
|
The Plymouth sped down the I-15 at ninety miles per hour. Few other
|
|
cars were on the highway at this time of night, 2:30 am. In two hours,
|
|
they'd all be back in Vegas.
|
|
As Lisa sucked on her beer can and, between gulps, continued to
|
|
brag about being a porn star, Nicky looked up at the full moon, thought he
|
|
saw a meteor blaze across the glorious night sky, and dreamed of bloodied
|
|
corpses and different times. He'd kill the next man who even looked at
|
|
Lisa. Sadly, too, he realized that things between him and Lisa would never
|
|
again be as they once were. Life together would be a lot tougher from now
|
|
on.
