I wear black. All black. Black leather boots. Black leather pants, Black leather jacket. Black gloves. I have black hair. Long in front but shaved tight in the back. I wear black on the outside because black is how I feel on the inside. Not scared black not depressed black, not the black of warm living dirt. I am dark black, dangerous black, dominant black. Black of the blade, black of the blood. By contrast I am pale. I am ashen. I am the colour of death. I wear several silver earrings and around my neck is a silver fetish skull. I arrive on a black motorcycle. It is shiny and fast. It is dangerous and powerful, like me. I enter the room. It is dim and smoky but there are flashes of brightness. The overhead lights swirl in different colours as the music plays. The music is dark and bass. The singer chants in a guttural voice. 'The bats have left the belltower'. The rhythm is palpable. It is the rhythm of blood. 'The victims have been bled red velvet'. I know what I want. I am there for a purpose. The dancers swirl about me. The lesser people move in rhythm of the music. They try to make their lives important. They primp and preen in order to attract. I have no need for that. I am direct power. I am the only object that matters.
I make my choice for the evening. She stands before me. She has short straight black hair. Worn in a bob. One of her locks cover one eye. Her eyes are painted. Long lashes stare out. Red red lips contrast with the pallid tone of her skin. She wears a black shirt with a large white star on her chest. Her shirt is tight. It shows her breasts well. They are not large but they are wide. the shirt ends high and her stomach is visible. It is thin and tight. A silver ring rests in her belly button. She wears a short skirt. It is like her shirt, tight and black. I know there is nothing underneath.
Her black stockings end above her knee. They allow a view of her thighs. White and thin. Her shoes are tall. They make her look bigger than she is. They are black velvet, like her skirt. Her hands are long and thin. Well trimmed, long, black fingernails. She holds a drink in a tall glass. The cool of the drink contrasts the heat of her body and the glass sweats with the contradiction. The water drips down her hands and arm. She is not upset at this. On the contrary she watches as the drops roll down her wrist and fall to the floor. She shivers instinctively. She lights a cigarette. The drops fall in slow motion. I move closer. Drip drip drip. I come up behind her. 'The virginal brides file past his tomb'. I take my gloved hand and brush across the back of her white neck. 'Strewn with times dead flowers'. I can feel the fragile bones pushing through her delicate skin. 'Bereaved in death they bloom. She turns slowly, pulling the glass from her lips. The wetness glistens on her lips. A drop leaves her lips and slides down her cheek. Her large round eyes look up at me. My hand moves across her cheek to her lips. She opens her mouth. My finger rubs against her lower lips which quivers. Her tongue leaves her mouth and touches my finger. Her tongue is pierced and she rubs the ball against my hand. She feels my power. She takes my finger and puts it into her mouth. She can taste the leather. It is bitter. I pull my hand back and her body follows. Closer and closer to mine. I pull her mouth towards mine. She releases my finger as our lips meet. Her mouth is sweet. Her tongue is wet and rough. I feel it slide across my own. I put my hand on the back of her head and caress her hair. She begins
