This is an incomplete
story, basically a novel (or at least a novella) that I just don't
have the energy to write. The key elements are in place but are
only written as little more than plot-points here. It is doubtful
that I will ever do anything more with this story, but I think it
has enough interesting moments to make it worthwhile to post it.
This almost-story,
incidentally, first appeared in an excite.com club of mine, back
before excite went so "awry".
In the beginning,
it was Susan who wanted to be fisted. She sent Jamie out for some
more Astroglide. Jamie picked up some extra batteries and camcorder
tapes, too, just in case. It seemed like they were always running
low on things like that.
But before she grabbed
the keys to the Jeep, Susan had pushed Jamie's face firmly up against
the stained glass of the front door and told her to pull up the
back of her skirt. Very slowly, with one hand gently squeezing Jamie's
throat, Susan pressed three yellow ping-pong balls against her moist
asshole, tenderly kissing Jamie's ear as each one popped its way
up inside. As Jamie licked her mistress's fingers clean, the hand
at her throat tightened, and her face was pushed even harder against
the flat cold glass. Through a bright red cloud Jamie watched the
bay outside, across their deep front yard and the gray curve of
Bayshore Boulevard, the crimson water indifferently rocking the
pelicans to sleep. Susan nibbled Jamie's earlobe and whispered.
"Fuck somebody
from the drug store before you come home," she commanded. Jamie
grunted her understanding, and Susan withdrew her hands to wrap
them far around her servant's waist, her fingertips massaging Jamie's
shaved and heat-swollen labia. "That is what Jackson demands
of you." Jamie shuddered, silently licking the welded joints
of glass. Susan smelled of gardenias and the dogs from the back
yard.
"He also has
a bonus," she said, her teeth pressed against Jamie's exposed
neck.
"You must have
each of the three balls signed in black permanent marker by your
drug store conquest. On the first ball, he-or she-must write their
first name. On the second, the middle name. On the third, the last
name. Then they are to be reinserted and held until I order them
released." Susan stroked Jamie's clitoris between opposing
sets of fingers as Jamie watched the smoky red pelicans, one by
one, lift themselves up heavily out the brightly blooded water and
then ponderously fly out of sight.
"If you are
successful," Susan purred, "then you can shave my head."
Susan, with an odd
note in her voice, then said, "We have been promised a great
reward." She then let Jamie go out the door, and she went upstairs
to sleep a little. If Jamie returned, of course, everything would
start to change. Jackson had already seen to that. Susan thought
she was ready.
* * *
Jamie would somehow
always remember that. In a month her twenty-first birthday would
come and then go, and she would barely notice. But she clung to
the promise, and she obeyed. "A great reward." Indeed.
If you truly lived
the life, that is.
* * *
Jamie relished the
wetness that slid down the insides of her thighs as she walked across
the parking lot to the drug store. The late afternoon rains had
just finished, and the asphalt rolled out ahead of her dark, steaming.
It was still hot, but it was wet-hot. Nobody out there wrestling
with shopping carts in the parking lot seemed to take offense or
even notice that Jamie wore no bra beneath her pale green silk blouse,
that it was unbuttoned to her navel, and that the rings piercing
her nipples stood out like thick twin halos against the thin, damp
fabric. The blouse was soaked from sweat, of course, because Jackson
always made her drive the Jeep, which had no air conditioning. She'd
always be hot in that thing, and now she didn't mind. Sweat trickling
down the long line of her back, dripping from the bottoms of her
breasts to melt into the swaying softness of the blouse, it all
meshed nicely with the feel of that slippery juice sliding down
from the crown of her thighs.
The white skirt
she wore flowed loosely around her calves, despite the fact that
it was slightly twisted around and had stuck itself crazily to her
hips from sweat and from sitting in the Jeep. Jamie walked across
that melting parking lot with determined long strides, imagining
herself the most dedicated housewife alive on a mission picking
up some kind of prescription, diapers, a little bottle of hair color
to add just that bit of red to lay her husband waste. It was impossible
to feel the ping-pong balls anymore. Her rectum was quite used to
such cozy and light little visitors by now. Disappointing, in a
way: they were a far cry from the handful of large heavy ball bearings
she'd carried within her a few weeks before. For a while, at least,
she would have to be satisfied by concentrating on this current
absurdity, imaginary motherhood, and have a little stupid fun while
she waited to take her plastic shit.
She knew it was ridiculous,
but she almost felt normal barreling into the drug store like that.
From far away inside a little voice called her name and she did
see herself, in a cracked, smoky kind of way, as a mommy. A tiny
girl that looked like her, with flaming hair and a long nose, was
stumbling up out of her nowhere to hug Jamie's leg and cry. Jamie's-Mommy's-head
was still shaved, her nipples and her nose and her tongue were still
pierced, her armpit hair still dripped sweat onto her ribs every
time she extended her arms, and the little girl's arms and legs
around her own leg tore painfully at all that soft bronze hair,
but Jamie thought maybe it could still work, maybe if she would
keep the kid in day care or something normal like that most of the
time, and of course only maybe if Jamie could still fuck while she
was pregnant, if Jackson could still whip her at nine months, if
Susan could still zucchini-fuck her ass, maybe, if the doctor said
it was OK. Maybe then she'd have a little girl. Errands would suddenly
be for real, and Jamie could buy the batteries and camcorder tapes
and Astroglide right along with the diapers and the rice cereal
and nobody would ever look at her the way they did now. She thought,
maybe.
A sweaty translucent
silk shirt on a Mommy? Nipple rings? Ping-pong balls shoved up her
ass? Up a Mommy? Well, fuck yeah! What an eternal turn on, Jamie
thought, a mother who really is a fucker.
Then she hit the
cold front of the store, and she came. The air conditioning that
blasted across her soaking body as she stepped inside the door shot
bolts of icy shivers straight into her cunt, and she was crystal.
For a moment she stood, her knees locked together, leaning against
the magnetic theft detectors just inside the doorway, racheting
hard, jerkily grinding her thighs as everything spasmed. And then
she set off to find the condom aisle.
The clerk behind
the register had seen Jamie shaking there in the doorway with her
eyes squeezed shut and her breath shocked frozen and held suspended
in that first loud gasp. Jamie announced her pleasure to the sixty-eight
year-old grandmother of nine, and grandma promptly closed her register
and went on break. That left Jamie with the forty-ish female manager,
up front counting things-and two male Philippino pharmacists and
a teenage boy sweeping the floors in the back. The boy, of course,
would be her target, but she thought the pharmacists had potential,
too.
Luckily, the condoms
and sexual aids were all lined up at the end of a row at the back
of the store, right in front of the industrious pharmacists and
the boy, who was mindlessly sweeping himself into a corner. Crooking
a basket in her arm, Jamie dropped in a few bottles of lube and
very slowly bent to examine the adult diapers lined up on the bottom
shelf. A housewife suddenly appeared beside her, studying the condoms.
Jamie, immediately magnetized, firmly bumped the woman's hip with
her wet ass.
"Excuse me,"
the woman said, stepping back. Jamie did not stand up. She remained
bent over at the waist, her basket on the floor now, as she looked
back over her shoulder. Even upside down, the woman was quite pretty.
Jamie's tongue began to feel a little thick as she studied the softly-curved
lady from her awkward, exciting vantage.
The woman was at
least thirty, with dull brown hair pulled back into a pony tail.
She wore a thin white tank top over a thinner white bra, and her
own breasts appreciated the cold as much as Jamie's. The woman stood
a bit spraddled, having half-stepped away and then stopped. Jamie
could see right up the leg of her cut-off jeans at the dark hair
curling around the edges of her milky underwear. The woman bore
pale stretch marks on her inner thighs without much fuss, it seemed,
and the wedding and engagement rings on her hand appeared eminently
tasteful and costly. Her children must be angels, and her husband
a gentleman, or something like that to make this woman dress a little
like trash but step back a little like Bambi (even if Bambi was
a boy).
A heartbeat passed,
and Jamie had seen it all. A succulent woman, perhaps, but would
she suck her man's asshole? Would she sprawl out on top of the big
master bathroom counter and finger-fuck herself when things were
getting a little slow? Would she smell her son's dirty clothes on
purpose until she got light-headed and thought she might come? Would
she slide ice cubes up her vagina two minutes before fucking? Would
she fuck her old college roommate if they got drunk one last time?
Would she fuck her again the next morning when they got together
to apologize? Would she watch Jamie fuck that boy with the broom?
Would she watch Jamie and go home and fuck her husband or her girlfriend
or her son with nothing but hunger and violence and shredding teeth
for a cunt, dripping, blazing?
Would she submit?
And then Jamie was
sure: she saw the woman's toes. She was wearing black flip-flops,
and her feet looked as soft as petals. Someone paid regular attention
to those feet, and that meant this woman was used to feeling good,
floating in foot-rub heaven. And the nails! Her toenails were each
painted a different color, thickly laminated. It was an almost perfect
home job, only two of the cuticles hung out, and only one of them
had been polished over. Few professional pedicures looked so good,
Jamie thought, and few toes in this world will ever taste as good.
Like butter and cinnamon.
Jamie bit thoughtfully
for a second on her swollen tongue, then chuckled. Three of the
woman's toes stuck through delicately carved silver rings. Without
doing much, Jamie knew she could at least make the woman notice
her own toe rings, and her other rings, and just go from there.
"Oh, no, it
was me!" Jamie laughed, apologizing. "I'm just stretching
my back. It tightens up now and then." She pressed her palms
to the floor and pushed her cunt toward the woman and moaned at
that pleasure she imagined in her back. "Oh yeah, that's better,"
she grunted, stood up, and turned around.
To Jamie's mild
surprise, the woman hadn't left. Jamie quickly glanced at the pharmacists,
but they had a line of elderly customers waving various small scraps
of paper at them. The boy, however, had stopped sweeping and stood
leaning on his broom behind his pitiful smear of dust. Jamie's ears
began to ring strangely. She felt a bit light, and very hot. Susan
would never believe it, of course, but Jamie decided to try out
an idea that was just too good to pass up.
Jamie suspected
that this woman had children and that someone else was
watching them just now so that she could get some things done. It
was a Sunday afternoon, so they couldn't be in school-if they were
even old enough-so something mildly special or unusual was going
on in this mother's life for her to be able to get out in such a
casual manner. Her husband was out golfing or in the boat, maybe,
and her best friend was on vacation or else was the one corralling
the kids for her. She'd come to pick up some contraceptives to be
able to properly say thank you to her man for a day of freedom.
Maybe she'd grab some tampons and a Southern Living, too.
She wore a small
raffia purse over one shoulder, and she shifted it somewhat warily,
as if it was a rifle strap, but she appeared to remember proper
manners and smiled at Jamie, just a tiny bit.
To Jamie, it was
obvious.
Standing in front
of her was a woman who hadn't been out alone in a while-or, if she
had, she'd begun to wonder why she'd always liked those solitary
times so much.
So it boiled down
to this: Jamie thought it might be possible to turn her on, and
her imagination burned wild with these perfectly flammable scenarios.
She wanted the woman to watch her fuck the drug store boy, and when
Jamie was done with him she wanted the woman to catch those ping-pong
balls in her long soft hands and to suck them clean.
But then the woman
spoke, and for a moment Jamie almost fled.
It came out like
an accusation, like the voices she'd heard so often in the past
five months, harsh, defensive, afraid-and thus dangerous:
"What happened
to your hair?" the woman demanded. But then she stepped closer
and raised a hand. Her fingernails were clear-polished and trimmed
quite short. "Do you mind if I touch it?"
Jamie started a
bit, but then she calmed herself by watching those fingernails.
They were short and smooth and perfect for stretching out the anus.
The woman ran her
palm lightly over Jamie's half a millimeter hairdo and chuckled.
It was a strange kind of sound. The woman paused, still grazing
Jamie's scalp. She appeared to consider her chuckle, as if she couldn't
decide if Jamie as a whole was funny, or just her hair, or simply
the fact that normally she would never touch such a weird-looking
person. She chuckled again and kept on rubbing Jamie's head.
Now both pharmacists
and several senior citizens were joining the teenager in openly
staring. Her rectum violently wrenched at the ping-pong balls, and
she nearly came again. The woman then, to Jamie's sweet horror,
began her own seduction.
She said, "And
you have such an exquisite face. Truly, truly beautiful." And
she clucked her tongue and shook her head in a rueful manner, mock-shameful.
Then she stroked Jamie's cheek-just once, whisper-light, and Jamie
leaned right into it, nearly closing her eyes and completely soaking
herself straight down to her ankles. Her feet in her own sandals
suddenly felt large and heavy, and damp, and she wasn't sure how
to proceed. The urge to shit was almost overwhelming. If Jamie sat
down, bent over, or even thought about squatting, three bright yellow
ping-pong balls would skip right on down the toothpaste aisle.
But the woman wanted
to flirt. She leveled that chuckle at her one more time, certainly
to acknowledge Jamie's speechless and desperate consternation, and
then she reached past her for a box of condoms, almost touching
her the whole time. Trojans, blue box, ribbed, nonoxynol-9, reservoir
tip, one dozen for $8.99-Jamie was suddenly inspired.
"I can roll
one of those down a ten-inch zucchini with just my mouth,"
she tried to purr, just a little hoarse, "and I can fuck you
with it, if you'd like."
The woman did not
smile. She did not chuckle or look away. She thoughtfully pursed
her lips, then said:
"I would like."
She paid for her
own and Jamie's things, and Jamie took her to the Jeep. It was against
the rules, perhaps, but this particular rule had never been discussed.
Jamie took her random fuck back to the house.
It was a seven minute
drive. The woman sat quietly staring out at the shady houses along
Bayshore, tapping her fingers over her crossed knee as if counting
the palm trees or children in the yards that they passed. They pulled
into the driveway at Sensaciala and the woman finally said
something.
"My name is
Karen. I'm thirty-eight." Jamie held her breath. The woman
in the seat beside her was not altogether beautiful, but she was
clearly smarter than most people. In her eyes and around her mouth
there lingered something Jamie could only conceive of as will. It
lit her up and sexed her out, made her look dangerous. It reminded
Jamie of Jackson.
Karen kept talking
and kept touching Jamie. In her voice there emerged a low note of
control, of something slowly circling up from the woman's belly,
tightening the air around Jamie's racing heart. A fly in a fist.
"I'm something
like a corporate
3; well, I work back that-a-way in one of those
skyscrapers." She pointed over her shoulder with her chin toward
the business district behind them, across the narrow head of the
bay. "Let's say I own some things, and I tend to wear boring
business dresses with knee-high hose and without underwear. I usually
take time once a week to get completely nude in a bathroom stall
somewhere very public, and I piss like that, standing up."
They didn't move or say anything for a moment. Jamie wondered briefly
if Karen was waiting for that ordinarily shocking news to sink in.
Maybe this woman has a bit of a dramatic streak. In any case, it
did the job. Jamie's cunt throbbed against her thighs, against her
asshole, against the ping-pong balls lined up in her pea-pod rectum.
She thought maybe they should get started, before she simply died.
But then, as Jamie reached back for their bags Karen caught her
arm.
"Let's say
my man is a painter," she said simply. "He has a gigantic
cock and he knows how to keep me in a certain kind of love."
She rubbed just above Jamie's elbow with her thumb, and Jamie's
throat went dry.
"You should
know that I'm going to want that zucchini of yours, and your fist,
and a good part of your arm. Then I'll piss in your mouth. After
that, I'll call my man over and he'll whip you and fuck you until
you decide to quit. And then he will not stop until you beg him
to go on," Karen smiled tenderly. Her palm traveled up Jamie's
arm to cup her chin. Jamie was suddenly very conscious of her own
lips, pooched-out, parted and dry.
"I waited in
the parking lot until I saw a suitable girl walk by," Karen
nodded as if confirming the facts. "You were obviously a walking
fuck, and you are now, I see, very lovely and intelligent and hungry.
I'm glad I followed you into that drug store."
She suddenly turned
from Jamie and stepped out of the Jeep. Jamie discovered that she
couldn't move without Karen's permission. She was suddenly very
afraid of disappointing this strange new mistress. Wouldn't just
following Karen's lead by getting out of the Jeep look like boldness
and impertinence to such a powerful lady? But Jamie burned to move!
Karen silently waited,
sitting on the porch talking into her cell phone for twenty minutes,
before returning to the Jeep.
"Shall we go
in?" she asked lightly. As Jamie squirmed nervously in her
seat, the squishing sound was embarrassingly loud. Karen grinned.
"There's no sense in wasting all this good juice on old Army
leather."
* * *
Susan, who stood
watching from upstairs, never announced her presence. She remained
in the house but out of sight until Thursday morning, when Karen
and her man finally left.
She was not jealous.
In fact, she exulted. She allowed Jamie to chain her in the backyard
to the tree for the entire day, to abuse her as she saw fit-the
best reward, for both of them, that Jackson would allow. But mainly
that day Jamie slept naked upon the grass at her feet. Susan had
time to ponder her master's designs, but she did not weep.
Eventually Jamie
awoke and went to fetch the razor.
* * *
Jackson returned
from his journey that night and Jamie and her mistress met him at
the airport. As he stepped off the jetway Susan meekly presented
him with three bright yellow ping-pong balls, each one bearing two
names. Gravely, he reached up and pulled at Susan's hair, and the
wig came right off. Without speaking he kissed her shaved head,
then turned to nod at Jamie, who calmly watched the floor between
them. If any of his fellow passengers were pausing to note their
odd behavior, the three of them didn't notice.
Susan, strangely
with tears in her eyes, led Jamie to the terminal's public restroom
while Jackson bought coffee. Susan pulled Jamie into the farthest
stall and immediately undressed.
"Take off your
clothes," Susan said, rolling down her knee-high hose.
Jamie imagined she
could sense Karen across town, maybe at a gas station or a mall.
Jamie thought she Karen would have her doing exactly the same thing,
and suddenly, strangely, she very much wanted to urinate. Soon both
of them stood nude, barefoot, trembling at the slight chill. Susan
grasped Jamie's cunt firmly in one hand, raised her chin with the
other, and for several minutes they deeply, sweetly kissed.
Other women came
and went in that busy restroom, but the two were not disturbed,
and they never noticed anyway. Finally, Susan stuffed their clothes
and shoes into the toilet. Water sloshed up onto her arms and over
onto the tiles to wet their feet. Jamie almost panicked, nearly
reaching out to stop Susan, but her training held her fast. Her
only outward sign of distress was compassionately ignored by her
mistress: Jamie pissed all down her legs.
"It is Jackson's
command that we leave this restroom completely naked and lie down
out there in the middle of the terminal and fuck."
Jamie sank to her
knees on the cold tile, in the toilet water and urine. She did reach
out then, her fingers pulling at the backs of Susan's calves. Jamie's
heart pounded straight up into her ears, and she could barely hear
her mistress's trembling voice. She felt long fingers tenderly rub
her head, and Jamie screamed inside. They were both bald, naked,
cunt-shaved, tattooed, pierced, splattered in piss and possessed
by their own inexorable heat. Jamie's heart pounded straight down
to her crotch; she was beside herself with lust, despite it all-lusting
to be used, longing to be abused. They would certainly be arrested
and then God knows what!
Susan was speaking,
pulling Jamie up softly, her hands about her servant's face.
"Sweet girl,
it is our master's command that we fuck. He intends for us to be
arrested, tried, convicted, and imprisoned. He vows not to defend
us nor to visit us in our confinement. In fact, he is already driving
home to Sensaciala in the car we brought here for him."
Jamie stood slowly
and wept against Susan's shoulder, even as she imagined thick women's
hands shoving her against walls and cold steel bars. Biting her
cunt. Clawing at her nipples and her belly. Fists in her ass.
Susan's hand was
working its way inside her, and Jamie undulated against it until
her mistress, crouched as never before in front of her slave, drove
her clenched hand hard up against Jamie's aching womb. She cried
out once, and that was enough.
They both had the
courage to leave that stall, to exit the restroom and step, shivering,
into the exact center of the concourse.
Jamie lay back on
the weary all-purpose carpet, spread her legs, and easily accepted
Susan's curled hand. People gasped, shouted, walked away and stopped
and crowded about and hid children's eyes and dialed cell phones
and pointed and laughed and ignored and threw money and knelt close
and touched them and cheered and called security.
Jamie came the hardest
when two teenaged boys, speaking what sounded like French, knelt
behind Susan and took turns licking her asshole. Just watching her
mistress cry out in surprise and pleasure like that was enough to
blind Jamie to the rest of it for a very long time.
* * *
Nine security guards
took turns with them before the police ever got their chance, and
the baby each woman delivered while incarcerated was immediately
remanded to the custody of the state.
Both the mistress
and her servant endured sentences of equal and difficult length.
* * *
Upon the day of
their convictions, Jackson moved to the mountains of West Virginia
and established a specialized sort of academy. He sold Sensaciala
to a Pentecostal church group, who was intending to use it as a
guest house and retreat. The irony pleased him immensely.
When his two prizes
were finally paroled, his peculiar influence granted them both immediate
release from their parole obligations. He shipped them in clothes
stitched from sack cloth straightaway to his estranged seventeen
year-old son in England.
* * *
In England, both
women were chained inside a high, bright room for many months. They
were never bathed nor brought fresh water. They drank from their
toilet. Out of necessity, and later only out of boredom, they helped
each other pick at sores. Eventually, Susan accepted a phallus from
her young master so immense that the bleeding in her vagina could
not be stopped.
Jamie was made to
sit between her mistress's faintly trembling legs and drink her
cunt's last blood. Susan stroked Jamie's snarled, long hair, once,
near the end.
But the words which
she whispered were too light for her servant to hear.
* * *
Karen, aware of
Jackson's designs, quietly waited for the bizarre arrest at the
airport and for due process to take its inexorable effect. She waited
then until the women bore their daughters. After a time, when her
sources proved the wretches were gone overseas, Karen used her own
peculiar influence to buy their little girls from the state, and
those two small beauties immediately, officially, vanished.
The Japanese expatriates
who came for them when the girls turned ten were extremely impressed
with their training. The girls did not need to be drugged to embrace
one another or any number of strange men and women and dogs. They
marveled at how their orifices were so supple, pliant, and sweet
to taste. But the Japanese were the most amazed when the horses
were finally brought in.
Both girls survived,
healed, and left with the foreigners. There was a large plantation
in South America that had become a sort of refuge for men like those,
where power and indulgence would not be denied by any morality or
attempts at law. The girls would both die within a few weeks of
being taken there, and the men would be contacting Karen, sooner
or later, for more of the same.
* * *
Jamie was returned
to Tampa some time later, arriving nearly dead, starving, filthy,
and nude inside an otherwise empty container off-loaded from the
super-cargo vessel Geronimo III. Karen showed her the video
tapes of her daughter's week-long series of rapes, tortures, and
degradations before the Japanese expatriates. Jamie wept with a
feeling she could not begin to describe to her new, last, mistress.
Every morning, as she ate a bowl of Karen's shit, she said a small
prayer of thanks. Often she paused to stroke herself, though she
knew it was forbidden, and occasionally she came.
* * *
Karen acquired Sensaciala
from the Pentecostals shortly after Jackson sold it. The simplicity
of the transaction gave Karen deep satisfaction for many years afterward.
All she did was fuck the pastor a few times, show him the pictures
and videotapes of it, and then hold out her hand and ask for the
keys. He did call her a few names, plus he tried throwing water-and
then cooking oil-on her, but her painter made sure that only happened
once. After that, the pastor was gone to house his flock up on Nebraska
Avenue somewhere, but of course he continued paying the Sensaciala
mortgage out of his own funds.
And so Karen moved
in almost before the pastor's semen was dried on her cunt. She even
kept the crosses on the walls, though occasionally she did decorate
them.
* * *
Jamie was twenty-nine
when the North Dakota nursing home found her unconscious at its
doorstep. She wore an impeccably clean white nightgown, laced to
the throat, and she screamed when the attendants removed the impossibly
large phalluses from her vagina and rectum. While Jamie was under
heavy sedation later that night, three attendants crept into her
room and fucked and beat her with equal savagery.
Her seizure near
the end was unexpected, however, and she nearly choked to death
on the penis that she'd bitten off.
Instead of killing
her, the two attendants simply drove her and the unfortunate third
attendant to Wisconsin and left them in a dumpster behind a grocery
store. The attendant never regained consciousness, but Jamie did.
* * *
One night Karen
disappeared.
Sensaciala
was burned to the ground, and no trace of its mistress was left
behind. She had been carving her name onto the back of a fourteen
year-old runaway girl when several large men wearing ski masks entered
the house. The girl, chained in the center of the torture room,
barely standing on her toes as her thumbs were pulled toward the
ceiling, was unable to recall anything useful about the assailants.
Except for when they raped her, of course, digging at the fresh
knife wounds in her back. She was able to talk about how her cunt
and ass were fucked at the same time while she still hung from the
ceiling, how she got punched so much in the face that her left eye
was permanently destroyed.
But what was left
in her, on her, and around her amounted to a forensic plethora of
nothing. No DNA matched anyone the Tampa police or the feds could
find as a suspect, and no motive was apparent anyway. The case was
closed relatively quickly, since no one ever came demanding justice
for Karen or for the girl.
Unconscious when
she had been dragged from the house, the girl was sent as a ward
of the state to live in an orphanage, then a foster home. Her family
was never found, nor did she volunteer any information about them.
Within a few months, she was pregnant. A few months after that,
she simply disappeared, walking near the bus station in the rain.
* * *
Karen's painter
calmly discharged a shotgun into his mouth a few hours after driving
up and seeing the mansion aflame. He left behind a canvas covered
with his brains and blood, along with a note directing its sale
at auction. His note requested that it be entitled "West Virginia".
An anonymous buyer, through a representative lawyer, bought it at
the auction for $425,000. The proceeds were intended, as written
by the painter in his note, to be spent rebuilding Sensaciala
as an art museum; but the money was embezzled by his lawyer, who
bought a house in Italy and never returned.
* * *
Wearing the attendant's
clothes, Jamie walked and hitch-hiked from North Dakota to Tampa.
Twice she rode in the dark hot trunks of cars because the drivers
were oddly afraid of her. Mostly, though, she just fucked the trucker
or the car's driver and then rode quietly for a few hours. Once,
seeing her vacant expression, a woman riding next to her in the
back of a pickup truck put out a cigarette on Jamie's bare arm.
Of course Jamie didn't flinch at all, which made the woman extremely
agitated. Within a few minutes, the men in the truck administered
the worst beating Jamie had received since the nursing home attendants
had left her for dead.
She ate grass and
bugs and whatever roadkill she came across. If she could make shit,
she at that, but catching grasshoppers provided more regular sustenance.
The few times her hitch-hiking rides bought her food, it was usually
so wonderful and rich in comparison that her stomach turned, and
often she puked it up. Nevertheless, she was grateful.
Upon seeing that
Sensaciala was gone, Jamie merely turned and walked out onto
Bayshore Boulevard. The SUV that hit her ripped her head off. Traffic
was stopped and then diverted away from there for six hours. A frenzied
chase ensued at one point when a stray dog ran up and took a loose
fragment of her arm. It was finally caught, nine blocks away, resting
under a tree next to a convenience store, gnawing contentedly on
the bone.
