{The wind through my hair, falling... I never took the time to appreciate how it felt, relentless, almost like his hands. No more sobbing now. Put him out of your mind. You made the choice of your own free will. My God the view is incredible, just like he said it would be. There is no more fear, no more wondering what unnatural thing grows inside me now, I don't care. Not any more. That is why I am here. I wish he could see me now, like he did before he changed, his eyes were much like the color of the stormy ocean in front of me then – only I could see much deeper into them than I could into this cold expanse. There should be so little time, but I can see it all so clearly, in fact I can't seem to remember anything else at all…}
Sean kicked a broken shell toward a pack of gulls cackling amongst each other, likely over a putrid crab leg or some dead morsel. Maybe if he was lucky it was a six-pack ring and one would get its head stuck and die… no he didn't mean that. Another holiday alone, teasing gulls instead of teasing some cutie's dainty cleft of maidenhood. Halloween is a fun one too. The air is cool so cuddling is high on the 'play your cards right' scale and the whole mystery of masks and makeup mixed with the erotic nature of the dark unknown makes for some truly incredible possibilities. Or at least so he imagined.
Without a gal to share the festivities he had decided to go camping by the ocean to wallow in his deep blue funk. The season had inspired him to come to this spot, as there were tails of ghosts and witches that stretched back into stories hundreds of years old. What better way to spend Halloween than in search of restless spirits?
As if on cue, the gulls shot up and around him startled, and he almost dismissed it but the fading light from the setting sun revealed something in the corner of his right eye. Curious, his head slowly followed the eye, kind of like someone afraid of getting caught might. He squinted a bit. And even as his head sort of lilted to one side he was in motion. A jog at first and then as realization hit him a full sprint. There against the bright golden waves was a woman's form, wet - and motionless.
"Are you alright!" he shouted and again, "hey lady, you alright?!" Sean was only 20 and had never had the pleasure of viewing Death sizing up a potential client. With a spray of salty sand he slid to the ground beside her, showering her with tiny grains of briny bits. Instinctively he shook her shoulders, and quickly pulled back – she was ice cold. Still, his touch sparked some pearl of life within her as her eyes left the infinite speck they were focused on at his arrival and hazily wandered to meet his own.
"CPR… that's what you do to dead people," he thought. He pulled himself together long enough to remember Health Class in high school, turned her head to the side, and proceeded to, um, remember where exactly, um, where to put his hands, goodness those are some incredible breasts, um… "SHIT dude, she's gonna die!" he cried out loud to clear his head. He locked his fingers and began pumping on her breastbone. He was ashamed but was getting some pleasure from the feel of her smooth skin under the thin, wet, silk. On the count of four he grabbed her dainty nose and exhaled warm life into her cold lungs, gently pressing his lips to hers. It was almost timeless, the sound of the breath filling her chest. He pulled back slowly as she exhaled – and then inhaled, on her own. Again. Once more. Wandering eyes focused.
"Are you alright…?" This time the question was soft, almost in awe.
"Where am I?" she moaned in a sullen tone, "am I alive?"
He noticed a gash on her forehead, very deep and purple but no blood. Aside from that her face was angelic, porcelain cheeks and green eyes framed with disheveled wet locks of red clinging to bits here and there. "You are alive, but barely, can you walk?"
She looked with distrust at her limbs and attempted to stand. Sean had to leap to her rescue as the suspect legs betrayed her trust as expected. The woman was very light, even in wet clothes. "Hey, you know, you are soaked. Even if you live through today you'll get pneumonia if you stay out here. Let's get you dry and warm right away. I was camping out tonight, right nearby up on that cliff, the view is incredible - but I can give you some clothes and a blanket or something and then we can get you home," the young hero offered. She nodded and even though she got stronger as they walked, she seemed to find ways of staying temptingly close to him. Her gown was incredibly provocative which didn't help his mood, dripping silk nearly black with water but obviously once a furious blue. It was quite archaic in design but had to be one of the sexiest things he had ever seen on a woman, obviously she had set out the evening to seduce. It made him curious.
It wasn't far and after a bit of help up the steep parts the two were safely at the top. The wind blew gently over the top of an outcropping of rocks, behind which Sean had immediately begun flaring up some dry tinder for a fire. Between blowing on the sparked grass in his fire pit he tried to quench his curiosity a bit. "Hey, my name is Sean. I'm just here to stare up at the stars a bit and pull my thoughts together. Heard there were some pretty spooky things going on out here this time of year so I figured hey why not camp out, how 'bout you?"
{There he is. So tall and commanding, he'd have made a fine ship's captain if he'd not been drawn to the cloth. Each day he sneaks from the prying eyes of the town to our spot. He loves this spot, always mentioning how incredible the view is. High above the ocean we draw ourselves nearer to God by bestowing the gift of ecstasy to the other in warm sunny beach grass. His lips are strong, as his whole body is, but it is his lips that make my heart flutter. Each time we meet he kisses me with those lips all over my eager frame. It's those lips that drive me to dance on the moon as he probes around in my unspeakable places, his tongue caressing my labia up and down as if savoring some chocolate morsel. He won't enter me with his manhood yet – by his will not till we marry – but there are days I think on tempting him into sin.}
It seemed he kept drawing her stare from some deep well of insight two inches this side of reality, but this time she was quick to respond. "I don't remember. Anything. I don't remember anything." Then she paused a bit and focused that stare directly into his eyes, deep, penetrating, unwrapping something he knew not what. "Except," she whispered, "you saving my life… I owe you my life."
"No you don't, I would've done it for anyone," he chuckled but easily sensed the un-joking tone in her voice. "Hey, I got the fire going, but I've still got to get you out of those wet clothes and into a nice dry blanket!" He was trying to lighten the mood, purposely wording that thick with insinuation to rouse a grin or a giggle or something. As he gazed at her standing calmly by the fire as the sun finished it downward path, he kind of wished it could become more than insinuation.
{Something odd has gotten in his head as of late. His studies take him down a path I cannot say could possibly be holy anymore. Had I thought on that a bit perhaps I'd have lit again on my actions.
