The Second Chapter - Piss
The click-clack of Marla's heels upon the cracked tiled floor echoed through the dank corridor. The decaying surroundings in which Marla found herself contrasted incongruously with the elegant evening gown and delicate make-up worn by the woman. Whereas Marla was presented near perfect, the building possessed a dilapidated air of abandonment and decay. The walls were adorned with graffiti, some ancient some new. Odd bits of rubbish were strewn haphazardly along the corridors, bits of wood, remnants of shattered windows, and, bizarrely, an androgynous shop window mannequin.
Marla surveyed the crumbling setting, taking a quick glance at the forlorn nakedness of the dummy, "Armand," she murmured quietly as though to speak loudly might disturb some lurking sprite and invoke some kind of pernicious visitation. "This place is awful, it's a ruin."
"Yes it is," Armand agreed. "Isn't it perfect?" His smile was like a knife.
"For what?" The tone of her voice echoed her fear.
"The contrast between you and this place," Armand paused and indicated Marla's form with a sweep of his hand. "You, my dear," he grinned again. "You are exquisite, a work of art no less, whereas here-" another sweep of the hand, this time indicating the decrepit area around the pair. "This place is rotten."
"I still don't understand."
"You entered this place unspoiled," Armand explained. "You will leave it utterly ruined. Used, corrupted, debased." He paused, savouring the flavour of his words. "Tainted," he ended.
The words curled like a lupine tongue through Marla's cunt as arousal displaced fear. "You filthy bastard," Marla groaned. "What do you have in mind?"
Armand laughed in reply, and then without answering, led Marla along the corridor, leaving the mannequin staring blankly after them.
The original building had been constructed during the Victorian era. It had begun as a small hospital and, having survived the Second World War, had grown by the burgeoning influence of the welfare state, with further wings and wards added at the whim of NHS bureaucrats. Then, inevitably, it fell upon hard times until -- in the 1990's -- it was abandoned in favour of a newer, more modern, less efficient, soulless place of healing.
Ringed by mesh fencing, and with windows and doors boarded, the place then fell victim to the underclasses, the unseen and unwashed that inhabit the cracks in society. The once pristine walls and floors defiled by spray paint, needles and used condoms. The proud faΓ§ade had crumbled, once proud now a wreck, like Miss Haversham from Dickensian lore.
Armand led Marla down a staircase; she could hear the drip, drip of water and soon found herself walking through a stygian level, stepping around murky puddles as she went. Eventually Armand pushed open a door. It opened with noisy, creaking reluctance, voicing displeasure at the ache in its arthritic hinges.
Marla stepped beyond and into a large room, a surgical ward no less in former times. How the mighty have fallen. Marla surveyed the site, the ubiquitous graffiti daubing the walls and the same detritus scattered around the floor. On the level above the storefront dummy was the oddity, whereas here a supermarket trolley was the curiosity.
Who brings this shit in here, and why?,
Marla thought.
"Here we are," Armand said.
The difference between this room and the rest of the abandoned structure was that temporary lighting had been set up. Battery powered and silent the several units starkly illuminated a single mattress in a circle of bright light, throwing the corners of the room into deep shadow.
Marla noticed a movement from a corner and turned her head in time to see a man appear from the gloom. Then more movement and another man appeared, followed by another, and then one more. Marla stopped counting at eight. It was academic by then, however many appeared she would let them do whatever they were going to do.
Where do I draw the line?
Marla shrugged inwardly.
Let's face it, Marla, you love it. It's dirty and disgusting and you're hooked.
She broke off her internal monologue to ask, "Is that all of them?"
Armand laughed, "Would it make any difference?" he asked as though he'd read Marla's thoughts.
"No," hissed Marla as the warmth between her legs spread suddenly; the fire of her lust igniting.
"As I said," Armand murmured, "you'll leave here totally spoiled. You won't be able to bathe; you'll have their semen in your hair, smeared over your body... The taste of them will be on your tongue, the stuff will be dripping from your rectum..." He watched Marla carefully, gauging her reaction.
"Oh dear god..." Marla groaned as she pictured her future self in her mind's eye. The image of her skin smeared with come, her hair, so carefully coiffed at present, a ragged mess of rat's tails...
Armand judged her mood correctly. "Come to her," he commanded, and as one, the men crept forward, an inexorable tide of desire.
One person remained hidden however. The Watcher wasn't yet ready to reveal herself. She wanted to watch Marla being used, she was patient, and she would have her fun. Later.
