ARRIVAL
Hypnos looked behind him for the van. It was already gone, its whiteness lost in this apocalyptic blizzard, along with the stars and the pockmarked, wounded moon. There was nothing now. Only the flickering light from the candle on her kitchen table. That at least had not abandoned him.
It wouldn't be long now. A hundred more yards, tops, before he could feel her warmth wrapping itself around his icicle flesh and listen to the music of her cries with his frozen ears.
She sensed him coming. She always did, with those she had pulled. This one was powerful. She could hear his footsteps crunching on the treacherous ice, the bullets of hail pounding against his frost-red face.
She was seated at the table as he walked up the steps, regarding him with her usual cryptic smile as he reached for her doorbell.
When she opened the door, he felt the warm glow of her skin rushing over him. She wore the long silky white hair of the delightful villainess Ni Chang, the witch born of wolves in The Forbidden Kingdom, featuring the incomparable Jet Li and Jackie Chan. It was Hypnos' favorite movie. It was almost as if she had dressed herself with flesh meant only for him.
He could see the swelling of her gigantic breasts beneath her silk robe, rising with each breath. Some things only improved with time. Her crow's-feet framed the twinkle in her eyes. That too only improved with age. And knowledge.
"I wonder if I could use your phone," he said. "My car is stalled, and your house seems to be the only building out here."
"The nearest place is a Chevron station about five miles down the road," she told him, "and there's no way ole Billie McAllister is going to come here at this time of night. Not in weather like this. You're gonna have to wait here till morning."
Her tea kettle shrieked. "Come in, come in, you poor thing. Here, let me take that for you," she whispered, as she smoothly slid his parka from his shoulders and hung it on a peg.
"I was just making some hot cocoa. It looks as though you could use some, you poor dear. Here, get out of those wet clothes and put this on," she said, taking off her robe and handing it to him. Now only her scant nightgown remained to contain her spilling flesh. Hypnos revised his estimate. Her cup size was at least H, not a paltry F.
THE LOVESEAT
Hypnos went into the bedroom to shed his clothes. When he came out, he saw that she had poured two cups of cocoa and had taken up residence on the loveseat. She patted the cushion next to her. "Come on, don't be shy. I don't bite," she said (although she occasionally did).
