In the darkness I could hear the churning of gears, the oiled wheels of arcane machines slowly grinding in awful revolutions that churned through the nightmare. Behind me was the horrible dark red glow but I could not turn for the lurid green light that had begun as a spark before me was growing in intensity and try as I might, I couldn't tear my eyes from it. From somewhere in the distance I could hear a woman's screams echoing throughout the vast chamber in which I knelt but even that abysmal sound was pushed from my mind as the intense acetylene glow filled my brain.
"This is just a dream!" I muttered through clenched teeth. "A dream!"
"Is it?"
There was something approaching me. I could sense it. A presence. A vast unclean entity filled the crimson shadows behind me and reached towards me with loathsome power. I could feel it its cool gaze upon the back of my neck where the hairs stirred. I tried to turn to regard it but the intense yellow green light held me as easily as if I had been chained to the ground.
It coiled about my ankle and slowly crept with serpentine grace along my leg.
"You were a virgin"
I was when I first met Mrs Browne. She was my friend's mother and for many years she was just a shadowy presence in the background of my life. I remember her as Mrs Browne, though her first name was often on my mother's lips.
She was standing in the doorway, watching me with a dark look on her face, taking in the sight of me and when our eyes met, her surprise had become anger.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"What were you doing there?"
I was aroused. In those days I was often aroused, sometimes without my even being aware of it. As she spoke some of her hairs moved lazily about her small round head and it was that detail that impressed itself upon me. I seemed wiser than my years and instinct seemed to lend me the understanding of her mind. Although her tone was sharp and her eyes flashed like fire, her question was less of a rebuke than she must have intended for I understood without thinking that she had spent the last several weeks gazing upon me with a mind darkened by lust.
"And you replied"
Yes. I spoke with a hesitant confidence. I answered her truthfully and her face registered several emotions at once. Anger showed in her features, but so did hope. I particularly remember that hopeful look. It was terrible to see it. It was like an insatiable hunger. She paused to measure her words before she replied.
When she did speak, I noticed her voice had changed. It became broader somehow, deeper.
"As if the fragile veneer of culture and society had suddenly cracked"
Yes, I suppose so. I don't know. I didn't think of it like that. I can just remember how her voice seemed to be new... as if I'd never really heard her speak before.
"And her eyes?"
They didn't move. She stared at me as she spoke. No one had ever looked at me like that before.
"Perhaps I shouldn't have come," I said. I tried to feign an innocent air, as if I could offer her a way out, though really I had no idea what was going on. I didn't understand.
"But you were erect"
Yes. It was her eyes, the way she stared with those terrible dark eyes. I felt so ashamed though I hadn't done anything wrong. She paused again; she even went so far as to lick her lips.
I swallowed painfully. My throat was dry. The sight of her tongue, briefly wetting her lips sent a shiver down my back and my stomach seemed cold and hollow. I was so hard it hurt but all she did was stare at me. I must have understood, though I never thought about it. I had to move towards her. I had to initiate what had to happen next.
"Describe her."
That's the odd part of it. I have no good memory of how she looked. She was dark; she had dark eyes and long dark hair all done up in a ball on the back of her head but I have no memory of her face beyond that her eyes were so dark.
"She was middle aged, plump, with heavy breasts that were beginning to sag."
Yes.
"Her children had left their mark on her body. Her belly was soft with the stretch marks and her hips were wide giving her an hour glass figure"
Yes, and she had a slender neck.
She closed the door behind me and it was like the opening of a book. One moment I was standing in the reflected sounds of the world, and the next I was alone in the muffled presence of Mrs Browne.
The weight of It was on my back and I breathed heavily through my nose as Its moist touch nuzzled at my neck. The light was so strong that I had finally closed my eyes but I could still see its warm glow through my eyelids. I drifted in a burning haze of orange and red ambience, ignoring the distance sounds of traffic and industry. The dust and grime on my knees was forgotten, the heavy thud of the machinery was just a heartbeat in the distance.
Its body was large, heavy and obdurate.
"Describe her scent."
It was the heavy, dark, sweet scent of sweat and perfume. Her body seemed to radiate a heat that enveloped me. We stood there, together, in the dim shadows of the room and when she touched me, I started to tremble. It was not quite fear, though I felt utterly powerless.
As she released me from the constraint of my pants I almost began to weep. I swallowed the air as if I were drowning but then she took my head in one hand and kissed my open mouth as she slowly stroked my cock with the other. The sensation was too much. My head was filled with a rushing light and I came violently as I fell against her chest. After a while she let go of me and I realised I was sobbing. My face, still pressed against the clothing that covered her breasts was hot and wet but she made no move.
I think, maybe I heard her soft voice murmuring a gentle reassurance but when I looked up at her, her eyes were still dark and hungry.
