Adonis
"God damn A," Kevin Rudolph spoke staring at two college black women passing by in the student cafeteria, "look at all that ass."
Adonis Shephard turned to the women Kevin was staring at. There asses were big. All of a sudden Adonis started thinking of all the things he could do with that ass, but figured his bestfriend, Kevin beat him to it.
"That ass is so big, if we were stuck in the dessert, and she died first, we would eat for weeks."
Rude as it may sound Adonis laughed along with is friend.
"Speaking of fine asses, here comes your dream girl right now," Kevin warned.
Adonis turned to what Kevin was talking about catching Jessica Kane passing by holding her tray of food and talking to friends.
Adonis turned back with a smirk. Adonis and Jessica used to date when they were in highschool. At first Adonis thought they were a match made in heaven, but then dumped him for some strange reason he can't remember. Now she was going out with some jock named, Billy Day. Adonis thought he would get over it with time, but for some reason he secretly still had strong feelings for her. He was just strong enough not to act on them.
"Those days are over," Adonis lied, "I've moved on."
Kevin knew better. "Yeah right, you say that now but I bet you still got feelings for her."
"Whatever makes you happy," Adonis retorted.
"Oh so you don't mind if I hit that?" Kevin asked rudely.
Adonis was about to get at him for that remark, but remember he wasn't supposed to care.
"Does that bother you," Kevin asked.
Adonis calmed down after he knew where Kevin was getting at. "Bestfriends don't date other bestfriend's exes."
Now it was Kevin's turn to smirk. "Riiiight."
"Don't you have class in a few minutes?" Adonis asked really wanting to get away from his bestfriend.
"Yeah but I'm going to skip it," Kevin answered, "I don't feel like history today."
"But that is part of your responsibility getting ahead," Adonis excused.
"I don't like going backwards only forward dude," Kevin answered.
Adonis rolled his eyes. This was typical of Kevin to do what he wanted to do and not what he had to do.
"Relax," Kevin said stuffing a pepperoni pizza in his mouth, "it's just one class."
Adonis sat at the bench reading up on his homework from business management. He found the fresh air therapeutic. As he was studying he looked up to see the cheerleaders dancing and cheering while the Indiana Tigers were practicing their drills with their coach yelling at them to work harder.
Adonis caught Jessica Kane in her sexy red cheerleading clothes. The thought of seeing her half naked had a strange effect on him.
Among one of the football players was his bestfriend, Kevin Rudolph, hitting on two cheerleaders, Donna Hillberry and Tracey Atkins, when he should have been concentrating on the game. At least that's what it looked like yards away.
After studying and practice was over, Adonis walked back to his dorm to find that Kevin was still out. Probably getting some from the women he was talking too.
Adonis dropped everything and jumped into bed looking up at the ceiling. He took a deep breath and let it out.
Adonis knew he should have been concentrating on his school work, but he couldn't help but think what it would be like to get laid for once. To feel the softness of a beautiful and naked woman who wanted him as badly as he wanted her.
It seemed that Adonis was just dreaming. Fantasizing thoughts of women who wanted him for one thing and one thing only.
Tired of women plaguing his mind, Adonis closed his eyes and before he knew it everything went black.
Adonis opened his eyes and turned to the bed across from him. It was still empty. Then he looked at the clock to see it was eight pm.
Sighing, Adonis got out of bed and decided to take an hour walk before the dorm closes completely. As he walked outside Adonis took a sniff of the clear fresh air. He forgot about the women he was thinking about earlier, he forgot about how pathetic he felt not able to get a woman, and he definitely forgot about feeling like a loser.
The night was quiet which wasn't too unexpected since everyone should be home and cramming for tests by this hour. The trees were swaying with the wind. It sounded beautiful.
Adonis walked a little further down the street with his hands in his pockets. Then he heard something from behind. He turned to see no one was there except the buildings on campus.
Adonis figured the night must have been playing on his mind. He turned back and continued walking.
Suddenly a light shined over Adonis. The light was so bright that Adonis had to cover his eyes to see.
"Must've been a helicopter," Adonis thought as he continued staring up in the sky.
But Adonis turned to his side and saw that everything around him was dark. Only the spot he was standing in was glowing bright as the sun.
"The fuck?!" Was the last thing Adonis said before the giant ball of light got brighter.

Specimen
Adonis felt something creamy dripping in his mouth as he began to wake. He looked up to see a red liquid falling in his mouth from the tan colored ceiling.
As Adonis opened his eyes further he saw that the ceiling was close enough to his body. He realized that he was not lying in bed in his room neither was he in a dorm or on campus. Adonis reached out to touch the soft gel that was holding him captive in some sort of liquid coffin.
Realizing that he was not in his dorm room or on campus, Adonis screamed in terror pushing the gel door upwards like it was made of rubber.
"Someone, anyone, help me!" Adonis screamed as he tried to push up on the tan gel doorway.
As he pushed up more liquid was sliding on his fingers and down his bare arms. He looked down at himself and saw that he was naked!
"The fuck?!" Adonis screamed as he continued to push open the gel coffin that was trapping him.
In a last ditch effort Adonis pushed further into the gel until his hands were connected to the liquid substance that was going down his body.
Suddenly he felt the rubbery lid tear open like paper and Adonis felt a gust of air entering through his gel coffin.
Taking his chance of freedom, Adonis reached further out of the trap he was in and took a deep breath from the foul smelling air.
Crawling out of his gel coffin Adonis stood up naked, cold, and afraid. He looked around and did not recognized where he was at.
The place was tan colored just like the coffin and it looked soft with tumor sized bubbles sticking out of the walls.
"What the fuck?!" Adonis finally spoke after getting out of the trap he was in.
Adonis slowly walked forward in what looked like a tan colored, murky, tunnel but carefully as he held himself trying to get warm from the chill.
Why was he captured? What was this place they put him in? Why would anyone bring him here? So many questions and yet there was not a single soul in sight to answer them.
"Hello?!" Adonis yelled as he continued to walk down the dark tunnel. "Is anyone here?!"
All Adonis heard were echoes traveling down the tunnel.
Adonis continued walking trying to find an entrance or if God allowed, an exit. But the tunnel looked big and long with the gel like walls looking moist and slimy. Adonis was starting to believe that whoever made this place and put him there was not human!
"Hello?!" Adonis yelled again. "For the love of God can anyone hear me?!"
Nothing.
Adonis continued down the tunnel hoping and praying that there was a way out of this place.
Suddenly Adonis felt something grab both his ankles and pulled them backwards making him fall flat on his face. Whatever it was that had a hold on him dragged him back deeper into the tunnel. Adonis tried to look up to see who had a hold of him, but the flashing lights of the walls kept blinding his view.
Again everything went black.
Adonis woke up again but this time he felt like he was on a rubber slab. But what horrified Adonis the most was staring up at faces that he did not recognized and did not look human.
They were tan colored just like everything else. Even though Adonis was lying down he could tell they were much taller than they looked. They were bald with pitch black eyes and two slits on their stern faces. Adonis thought that how did they breathe. Adonis turned from side to side and saw their frail, bony, bodies. He also saw that they had four fingers on both hands.
Adonis wanted to cry out but was afraid to in case they would do something drastic.
One of the aliens reached over and with its four bony fingers forced Adonis's mouth open while the rest of them held him down. Adonis had no choice but to watch as one of them dangled some sort of dark blue ball with red strings attached to it. And the strings were moving!
Adonis tried to struggle out of their grasp but despite how skinny and weak looking, they were very strong. Adonis screamed but all he could do was make muffling sounds since one of them were holding his mouth open.
Adonis watched in horror as the dark blue ball of moving microscopic tentacles slowly lowered as if wanting him to feel the terror. When the ball finally entered his mouth, Adonis could feel the moist and sour taste of the organism. To make things worse, the living organism tickled his throat with its microscopic tentacles. Adonis couldn't scream because the ball filled up his mouth, but that was not the only thing Adonis felt. The tentacles reached down his throat as if it was trying to fit or slide inside.
Adonis struggled feeling the pain of the organism forcing its way down his throat. As the creature finally entered into his body, Adonis finally lifted his head up and screamed.
Adonis sat up in bed breathing hard and looking around. He wasn't covered by the tan colored, slimy, walls and he was not stuck in a tunnel. There were no aliens and he breathed in the fresh air in his dorm room.
Relieved that it was just a dream, Adonis fell back on his bed sighing.
"Just a dream," Adonis said looking up at the ceiling, "it was just a dream."
Adonis turned to his left to see that Kevin's bed was still empty. Where did he go? Was he abducted too? The best case scenario was that he was spending the night with those cheerleaders. Or some woman who was naΓ―ve enough to fall for his charm.
Adonis turned back to the ceiling and sighed again. "Just a dream," He repeated, "just a dream."
