The Thing in the Attic
By Ivaran Kealar

Lycoris' Delights had become increasingly popular. Many people had become like drug addicts -- wanting to rent new erotic horror movies, to experience the erotic nightmares.
One cop fanatically wanted more plant erotica, but Lycoris had to cut her off. Another woman got addicted to slime monster erotica and is now barred from the shop.
In reality, Lycoris is a witch, who loves corrupting people. She loved giving erotic nightmares to people that corrupted their hearts and eroded away their very souls.
Lycoris had a pale complexion, was six feet, and rocked a 28C cup. Her hair was now long and silver. Lycoris wore her sunglasses and a scarlet dress.
It was a Monday late afternoon, and Lycoris wanted to find a new woman to corrupt.
Unexpectedly, a woman with acorn coloured eyes had just entered. She was a paramedic called Vivian Snyder. She was about thirty-two, Five foot eight, and hot-toffee hair. She sported a 34DD cup. She wore blue jeans and a lime green shirt -- which had matched her converse trainers, and the colour of her shoulder bag. She approached Lycoris.
"Excuse me," Vivian stammered. "I'm looking for a horror film -- something cheesy, from the nineteen eighties. Do you have any suggestions?"
Lycoris beamed, "Miss, I may have just the thing," she said, in her thick European accent. She headed in the back and soon returned with a film. She set it on the counter.
Vivian briefly looked at the case. The film was called The Thing in the Attic -- and it showed a woman entering the dark attic. "So, how much can I please rent it for?"
"You may rent it for two pounds," said Lycoris. "If that's alright?"
Vivian beamed at her. She searched her purse and handed the money.
Lycoris processed the transaction. "I hope you enjoy every second."
"Thank you," said Vivian. She left the store in high spirits.

After a long drive, Vivian finally made it back home to Rocky Road -- which was a nice cul-de-sac area, while her neighbours had barbecues during the summer.
Vivian took off her shoes when she returned home, and she locked her door. She went into the living room with the VHS tape, which she placed on the coffee table.
Her tiny living room had a black leather three-seat-couch, a black leather armchair, onyx wallpaper and a lush, ashen fitted carpet. She decorated her walls with many interesting art pieces. Her CRT TV was pretty big and rested on three different stands.
That night, Vivian had her living room curtains drawn, and she wore her blue pyjamas on the couch. She'd put the VHS in the player and was ready to watch the film.
The film greeted Vivian with cheesy 80s synthesiser music and the opening credits.
After the opening credits, a young lady appeared: she looked to be in her late thirties, and wore a brown cardigan, brown sweatpants and maroon slippers. She was in her living room -- which looked really arty -- and she was lying on her couch. She was watching a horror film on the TV and whimpered from the horrible sights on the screen. Suddenly, the woman in the film heard a strange noise which was coming from upstairs.
The heroine in the film pressed pause on the VHS player, and she reluctantly headed out of the room. She checked all over upstairs but couldn't find the source. She heard the noise again, and she now knew it was coming from her attic. She pulled down the cord, and the stairs to the attic quickly came down. The heroine slowly made her way up there.
Vivian's eyelids felt heavy as she watched this horror film. She felt drowsy, and she laid her head on the pillow on her couch. She fell asleep and missed what was going on.
As she slept, many crimson tentacles popped out from underneath the cushions.
The crimson tentacles coiled around her neck, her body, and her limbs, too.
Carefully, the crimson tentacles pulled her into the couch, swallowing her up.

Vivian opened her eyes. She realised she was on the couch and the tape had stopped.
She exhaled hard and long. Vivian felt guilty for sleeping through the entire film.
Vivian got up, and she ejected the VHS tape out of the player. She put the VHS tape in its case and set it aside. When she headed upstairs, she heard a noise from the attic.
Reluctantly, she left her living room and headed up to her scary-old attic.

Vivian was soon in her grimy old attic. She switched on the light and searched around for the source of the racket. She seldom visited here, considering how spooky it was.
There were dust bunnies and cobwebs all over the place. Vivian also stored her boxes of Christmas ornaments up here, and also had some old clothes she wore in her teen years. Vivian looked all around, but the source of the din wasn't around.
Vivian turned for the door and suddenly fell onto the floor.
Vivian landed on her front, and she grunted in pain.
Gradually, she turned on her back and felt tentacles on her ankles.
Vivian searched the attic, but she couldn't see the cause.
Suddenly, the creature became visible: There was a red tentacle monster in here. It had many red eyes. It's covered in mucus and its tentacles had octopus-like suckers.
Vivian finally opened her mouth wide, and she screamed shrilly.
Before she could react, the large tentacle monster pulled her closer.
The monster fondled her body with its many appendages.
Vivian shut her eyes tight and batted the tentacles away. She pulled and resisted and clenched her teeth together. She opened her eyes again and stared back in horror.
The monster covered Vivian with its slime to soak her clothes. Its mass of tentacles pulled off her blue pyjama top and ripped off her blue pyjama bottoms.
Next, the beast ripped off her blue silk panties and ripped off her strapless bra.
Finally, Vivian got totally exposed. She was coated from head-to-toe in the slime and could not escape. Her heart raced when the monster dragged her closer and closer.
Vivian wriggled and writhed -- hoping to break free -- but it was in vain.
