Amanda read her book in silence by the warm orange light of dusk. Her back against a tree, she did not see the curious way the leaves behind her swirled up off the ground like helixes of green. But she did sense something.
The hairs on her neck stood on end, stray locks floated up from her head and fresh ozone drifted in the air. It smelled like electricity. Gusts of wind blew across her face... and only her face, her direction. Before she could turn around to make sense of these oddities, the air exploded with a thunder crack.
She screamed, dropping her book as she scampered away from the tree. Branches snapped off and leaves went up in flames, like little wavering fingers of golden orange. She turned around just in time to witness what happened behind the tree.
Concentrated lightning strikes smashed into some invisible barrier beyond the tree, illuminating the barrier's curved shape as it expanded. At first Amanda took it for a sphere, but the way it rippled and folded... it almost seemed like a glass vagina had materialized in the air, invisible but for the fires and lightning it reflected.
This all seemed terribly familiar to Amanda, as if she'd seen it before in some book or movie, but before she could ponder where, the sight of what emerged from the warp stole her breath away. A woman came out of the center of the reflective folds, not kneeling, but sauntering, tall and imperious.
Amanda flushed pink in embarrassment at her nude figure, or perhaps it was embarrassment at being so far outclassed. No girl at school was in a league of this woman. She wouldn't be surprised if she had that effect on the whole planet.
The woman's delicate face scanned from side to side, her eyes almost blank, never even flicking over to Amanda. Her hair reached down to her wide, breeding hips, the smooth tresses carrying the light of the sun, the glitter of gold and the vividness of a forest fire. Amanda had never seen such a shade of blonde before.
Her eyes drifted up the woman's sculpted mid-section, her smooth belly glistening with sweat. Amanda's eyes widened when she took in the full splendor of the woman's breasts. Tanned to golden perfection, they had the size and heft of watermelons but the pert shape of teardrops. Even without jiggling, the way the woman turned in the light showed her enormous breasts had no bad angle.
Which is when Amanda caught sight of this mystery woman's jutting ass. Ripe and plump, perfectly curved buttocks swept down to her lush thighs and smooth legs. Her scan completed, the woman jutted her hip out and gave Amanda a look with her bright emerald eyes.
Amanda met her gaze, and the woman's eyes flashed green. Every consideration of running away died with that light. Amanda's eyes dilated and her hands grew slack, her posture slumped. "Ho... h-how... you..." she slurred, trying to ask if this was some kind of prank, wondering if such a woman as this could even be real.
The woman stepped forward, the gigantic slopes of her tits swaying at Amanda's eye level. "Age: 18. Pheromone analysis concludes you are fertile. I conclude you are for seduction." Her eyes traveled down Amanda's uniform. "Religion: Abrahamic derivation, Catholic sub-group."
"Wha-whaaa..." Amanda swayed on her feet, drool leaking from her lips.
The woman gripped Amanda by the head and brought her within kissing distance, her burning green eyes searing into the school girl's glassy gaze. "Expanding network." The words made no sense to Amanda and her dizzy head lolled forward. Her face slipped through the woman's hands and in between the lush globes of her bosom, her skin softer than air, her warmth gentle.
And then the schoolgirl felt the most peculiar tingling enter her. It started with a slight tickle on her belly, and then spread... hot and deep into her flesh, inflaming her womanhood, twisting through her nerves and lighting her up with rapture. Streams of drool ran from Amanda's slack mouth, her animalistic moans muffled into the woman's giant golden breasts.
Then she knew... the network had expanded.

Cynthia Mason studied the photos on her monitor. "I don't know where even to begin, Rebecca." she said to her friend through her earpiece. "Could be something put out by DAARPA. The wounds... they're so clean... like something super heated just cut right through them. But that's a bit beyond my scope of work, you see. "
It's beyond everyone's scope of work, Cynthia. The cops are freaked. Feds were all over the place and no one knows what to make of it, all we've got are some bodies and some killer burns,
said Rebecca from the other end of the line.
Anyway, I've gotta go. Still up for our Friday run?
"Yep." said Cynthia as she zoomed in on the grisly photos, wincing as she imagined what those poor souls went through in their final seconds.
See ya.
Cynthia clicked the button on her earpiece and terminated the line. Strange happenings had populated the news as of late. Twelve incidences of spontaneous explosions and power outages over the past year, each one followed by a murder spree.
Cynthia thought there might be a pattern to them, but that was for Rebecca to find out, being the police reporter. She was the ballistics specialist, the one Rebecca came to for an unofficial opinion. The official prognosis, strange as it was, was that the chaos was all caused by some underground cult.
Many of the murderers had tattoos of a giant wolf head, a mailed fist caught between its jaws. And like all good cultists, spoke of a future war, an apocalyptic conflict, justifying their murders as saving future lives.
A cult that somehow has access to advanced weaponry. This world is getting so fucked up,
thought Cynthia.
Cynthia's interest in the matter turned to intrigue when Rebecca passed on rumors that some of the killers weighed as much as a small car, the first one taking more than 200 rounds to bring down. Even on angel dust, Cynthia knew a normal man would have turned into hamburger from all that firepower.
"Hope it was worth it, Becca." she said aloud as she scrolled through pictures of the victims. "Hope I'm up to it... and figure this damn thing out."
She could only imagine who her friend had to bribe to get this kind of access. Before she could ponder any longer, a solitary knock resounded on her front door. She fumbled with her keyboard and turned off her monitor
"Coming!" she said, rushing into the living room, so flustered she didn't bother to check who it was before opening the door.
When she swung the door open, she wasn't sure if she was supposed to be alarmed or amused. "It's a little early for Halloween, sweety."
Though that has got to be one of the most authentic Catholic schoolgirl get-ups I've ever seen.
The woman before her was voluptuous and golden, her huge breasts like overripe honeysuckle melons on the verge of falling out of her sweater. Her too-high skirt showed off thick and supple thighs that glistened with something Cynthia wasn't sure was sweat.
"I know!" the girl said bubbly, her immense tits wobbling to her excitement. Her long tresses simmered with celestial light, so golden they seemed to cast their own light.
I need to know what conditioner she uses. Wow.
"I'm just a little lost and was wondering if I could come in for some tea? I'm from the Our Lady of Peace school, by the way."
Cynthia eyed her up and down in disbelief.
Our Lady of the Pole is more like it.
The girl was far too womanly to still be going to that school. "Woah... you just don't come up and ask a woman for tea. This ain't Canada. It's a little weird, actually." The schoolgirl more suited to be a stripper gave her a doe eyed look and squeezed her books closer to her chest, pressing up the swells of her cleavage into large bosomy mounds. "What's your name?"
"Everyone calls me Sunny!" she beamed.
Of course.
Though something seemed terribly off about her. Beyond the fact that she looked like some porn star playing dress-up... her eyes didn't crinkle with her smile.
They're almost blank.
The girl sensed the apprehension Cynthia had over her eyes. "What?" she said, her voice no longer so girlish.
And then Cynthia saw it. A circular tattoo on the side of the girl's neck, featuring a woman cloaked in raven feathers, her large pale breasts bared. And wrought in the same style as the cultist's wolf tattoos. Just when Cynthia felt like shutting the door, she stopped. Sunny's eyes then radiated stark green illumination, and Cynthia felt her hands grow numb, her breath dissipate. "Oh god..."
Cynthia slammed the door in the girl's face before she became more insensate.
It really is a cult! Should have never gotten involved!
One second later the schoolgirl launched her fist through the door, and opened it from the outside. "Cynthia Mason." she intoned. "Your time has come."
Cynthia screamed and ran for her kitchen knife.
