The lord of the coven glided into the dungeon, pulled his cape around body so as not to reveal his manly, oiled bare chest and tight black leather crotchless pants too soon and surveyed the dimly lit chamber. He'd been pursuing DOMINEA down from the battlements in a spiral of uncounted rooms resonating with a cacophony of chatterly sound until he knew she could go no further, could not elude him. She was here. He knew it. DOMINEA was fairly blinking at him across the black expanse of his window into the magical world of witches and warlocks, trolls and goblins. Ah, there she was. He would swoop down upon her, throw open his silken cape and capture and cajole and pin her to the cold, clammy stone wall with all fourteen inches of his throbbing manhood and enter and possess her with his honey-toned words.
WRLK4U: Art thou there, love? You have found me. Come thee to me.
SWEETSPRITE
"Ah, Fuck! Not that one." Cliff pushed the mouse away in disgust and sank down into the split leather of his landlord's castaway swivel chair. This crazy bitch had been following him through the chat forums of the WitchesNWarlocks Net site for the better part of two months. He done all he could to shake her, and yet she relentlessly stalked him.
He looked at the screen, and the DOMINEA alt flipped out. "Ah, fuck a duck," he exclaimed once more. He'd had her and then lost her and all because of that crazy spritewhatever bitch.
WRLK4U: Good, we be alone now. Take me to paradise. Make me flow with your honeyed words. I open my legs to thee.
SWEETSPRITE
Cliff struck at the keyboard; each keystroke a bludgeoning blow.
Geta life, girlie. Take a hike. Get fucked. Get stuffed.
WRLK4U
Yes, yes, yes. Fuck me. Stuff me, my love. Take me to paradise.
SWEETSPRITE
Cliff snorted in exasperation. There wasn't anything he hadn't tried to shake this groupie. But then that wasn't true, he reasoned. He hadn't called her bluff. Net junkies like this usually headed for the exit as soon as life got real and raw. He swallowed hard and decided to go for it.
Can't do you right here. We'd have to meet face to face.
WRLK4U
The longest of pauses, and Cliff could almost feel his stalker gulping for air across cyber space. There, that should do it, he thought, after a long pause with no response.
Excuse me? What was that? R U serious?
SWEETSPRITE
"Shit, tougher than I thought," Cliff muttered. Well, he still thought this was his best chance to shake her.
If you want the warlock, you will have the warlock. If your profile is true, you live where you can get to the Club 83 Halloween night. Meet me there or stop playing these games and get off my back.
WRLK4U
The SWEETSPRITE moniker blinked off and Cliff's macho persona was alone in the dungeon room.
"Thought so, bitch," Cliff said. He couldn't help the sneer. Now to swing through the other rooms to see if he could find DOMINEA again. That one gave the best cyber head on the site.
He had barely entered the throne room and started to take note of all of the crossed conversations in there running from true medieval game sillies to sex talkers, when the SWEETSPRITE handle blinked on.
"Oh, fuck, still on my tail."
WRLK4U: How will I know you?
SWEETSPRITE
"Shit, shit, shit." Cliff grabbed at the keyboard and flipped out the first thing that came into his head.
Dress like an enchantress, with your boobies pointing. Then stand by the punch bowl and ask every goblin who slides up to you if he wants to cope a feel. Geez.
WRLK4U
There, that will set her back on her haunches, he thought. Serves her right, the bitch.
K. It's a date.
SWEETSPRITE
Cliff just sat there, his jaw dragging on his chest. Gawd, do you believe some of these Net groupies? he thought. Wait until his brother Craig heard about this.
Craig did, indeed, think this was the funniest thing he'd ever heard, and he knew Cliff would live off this joke among their circle of buddies for some time to come. But Craig liked to one up his older brother. And so, Craig decided to extend the mileage that could be gotten off the joke and be able to add to it and do Cliff one better in the telling.

Back, however, to SWEETSPRITE, aka Sadie Glatz, a check-out girl in Gleason's Market by evening shift and fantasy bewitching vixen in the wee hours of the morning at WitchesNWarlocks.
If Sadie hadn't melted over the last couple of weeks in watching WRLK4U corner other female personas in the chat rooms and seduce the panties off them and enticed them to do the most unspeakable sex acts in the chambers of the sites, she would not have been so bold as to pursue him herself. His honeyed words as he slowly stripped his partner's cyber clothes and inhibitions from them and masterfully stroked them with that fourteen-inch magical sword of his were what she pined for in her lonely nights alone in her studio apartment above Jack's Garage. She flowed every time she saw that avatar of him, which surely faithfully reflected his beautiful, muscled body. And she was painfully aware, having occasionally had the courage to look into a mirror she passed in forlorn hope she would appear presentable in some light, that he would not even give her a glance of welcome in the flesh.
But a half-empty bottle of Yellow Tail Shiraz on this given night had loosened her reasoning. And this had been the first time he had signaled that he noticed her at all. And he had said he wanted to meet her in person. All she wanted from him was for him to wordfuck her over cyberspace on these nights where she dragged home from a shift of sore legs and sullen customers, those ugly, sarcastic people who looked right through her at the checkout stand, those people who were no better than she was or they wouldn't be shopping in Gleason's in the first place. And now maybe he'd do that.
