Chapter 6: The Many Torments of Kelly Gray
Kelly Gray had always been a socially awkward girl, and other girls took advantage of that. Girls belittled and mocked her, behind her back and sometimes in front of it. She had few friends in High School, but hoped that college life would be different. People would be more mature in Wintergreen College, more sophisticated, so she reasoned.
She was wrong. The only thing more sophisticated was their cruelty. She quickly found herself ostracized again, except for a few women who she thought were her friends... the same friends who lured her to the Delta Delta Mu Sigma Frat House one fateful night.
"Come on, Kelly," said Joyleen. "It will be a great way to meet guys!"
Kelly knew that guys wanted to meet her. She was tall, she was blonde, and very attractive. But she instinctively sensed that their interest in her was all about one thing, and she wanted a man who wanted her for at least
two
things. But every time she opened her mouth to talk she could seen men's eyes glazing over. They only wanted her body.
"Kelly, are you going to be a virgin forever?" Joyleen demanded.
Forever
sounded like a very long time. And so Kelly agreed to go to the party.
And it was there that she got drunk, and was gang raped by five men.
What happened to Kelly was bad enough. But the aftermath was even worse.
The girls started calling her "Kelly open legs" and "Slut Kelly" as well as "Kelly the Super Slut Slut". And as for the guys...
The college administration refused to prosecute the men after the holorecording came out.
One of the boys, Neil Bartlett, had made a holorecording, and posted it online. He had recorded everything, each of the five men making love to Kelly; and the recording also showed Kelly, drunk out of her mind, moaning and kissing the men and giving as good as she got.
Kelly had gotten so drunk that she didn't clearly remember what had had happened, and was surprised by what she saw. All she knew is that she never agreed to have sex with five men. And so, to her tremendous outrage, the college administration refused to press charges.
Now everyone was laughing at Kelly. They had all viewed the video. Kelly couldn't bear to be seen by anyone. And finally the pressure got so intense that Kelly hung herself by a rafter in her dorm room.
After that, people were no longer laughing at her.
It was curious, even being aware of it. Because, after killing herself, Kelly realized that this wasn't the end. She had become something else, a glowing version of her own body, one with red eyes, which she would eventually learn was called a
Lemure
. And Kelly found she could enter people's bodies, people's minds. She couldn't control them, not exactly, but she could influence them, and whisper in their ears.
And then, one by one, Kelly Gray the Lemure extracted her revenge. She ran over Jim Thompson with a road paver (while he was staked down to the ground at the time). She fed Neil Bartlett to a lion (while Neil was also staked down to the ground). She blasted Leo Doherty's head off with a compression rifle. She persuaded Mark Tami to walk out of an airlock without a spacesuit. She convinced Nigel Mills to defenestrate himself from the 20th floor of the World Government World Peace Building.
Kelly didn't exactly have control over her victim's or accomplices's bodies as she did this; she convinced Mark Tami that he was going for a walk in the park when he stepped out of the airlock. And she convinced Bruno Miglioni that he was shooting water melons when he blew off Leo Doherty's head. She found that she had a skill of convincing people of whatever she wanted.
Once her assailants were dead, however, Kelly was still not done. Far from it.
Everyone or anyone who had every mocked her or wronged her became a target. And at the top of the list were the cruel girls from Wintergreen College.

Susannah Piero had known Kelly Gray briefly at Wintergreen College. She had talked to Kelly a few times in their freshman year, but usually to put Kelly down, saying things like "That blouse is so you, Kelly. Did you get it at the World Government Weekly Handout?" But mostly she made fun of Kelly's weight. Kelly was very thin in college, and Susie always implied that Kelly was anorexic.
"When are you going to eat some food, dear? Are you on a hunger strike?" Susie would say, with a laugh, always in the company of her cronies. She so loved to work with an audience.
Kelly grew so anxious that she would avoid Susie whenever she could. But even Susie's smirk from across the dining hall could make Kelly tremble.
Susannah was leading a happy life working for the World Government. She was one of the many flower counters for the WG. The World Government took an annual census of wildflowers in the world. The numbers seemed to be getting smaller and smaller every year. Critics claimed there was no way to take a census of wildflowers, but the World Government was adamant, and used the data to slap heavy taxes on industry, to bear the true cost of production on Mother Earth.
Susie was married to her college sweetheart Spiro. Spiro also worked for the World Government. He was an anal sex educator in pre-school and kindergarten classes. Spiro loved working with kids, and hoped to have his own with Susie some day.
Everything was fine in Susie's life, until one day she had problems in the bathroom.
She was sitting on the toilet, bearing down.
"Urr... Urrrr..... Urrrr!" she cried. She felt intense pressure in her bowels. But nothing came out.
Having problems, dearie?
"Who said that?" Susie looked around. Was someone watching her on the toilet? She hadn't shaved her pubic hair in weeks, and it looked a mess! What if someone was watching her-
It's me. Kelly Gray.
Susie looked confused. "I don't know anyone named Kelly Gray."
Remember Wintergreen College?
"Yes."
The girl you hounded for being too thin?
"No," said Susie. "Oh, wait. You're that girl? Didn't you die or something?"
Yes, I died. And now I'm inside you.
"No!"
Yeah.
"What are you doing inside me?"
I noticed you were having some trouble.
Suddenly it dawned on Susie what was happening. "You're doing this? You're preventing me from going to the bathroom?"
Apparently.
"Why? What... what do you want?"
Not much. Surprisingly little. All I want you to do is to eat a chocolate cake and a box of cookies.
"What? And ruin my figure? Never!"
Happy grunting!
Susie squeezed again. Nothing happened, even though her bowels were full. "Wait, come back!"
Silence.
********
By the following morning, Susie felt like her bowels were ready to explode. But she just couldn't release.
Still having problems?
"Please! Kelly, if that's really you, I'm sorry, all right! It was a long time ago." She bore down again, but nothing came out. Her insides felt like they were about to burst. "Please!"
Just do one thing.
"What?"
Eat a chocolate cake and a box of cookies.
"All right... but... I have to go now... please, Kelly, I promise to eat them."
All right.
Susie bore down. After two days of not going, she knew she had a pile of excrement to release. She squeezed... and a small, cigar shaped brown object came out of her buttocks.
"Ahhhh," she said with a smile as it was zapped by the atomizer. By the beginning of the 23rd century, every civilized household had an atomic toilet.
But that was only the beginning. The internal pressure had lessened from excruciating to merely aggravating, but she still felt
quite
full of feces. "Kelly... I have more."
I know. After you eat the chocolate cake.
"Must I eat a whole cake?"
And a box of chocolate chip cookies.
Susie sighed. It would ruin her diet. She would easily gain two or three pounds, which would take her weeks to lose. "All right."
And so, after Spiro had gone out to work, Susie went to the supermarket. One of the many good things about working for the World Government in a job like hers is that no one kept track of her time. As far as the World Government was concerned, she was out in the field, counting flowers.
