The Amulet -- A young man discovers the ancient powers of an amulet and uses them to make this Halloween unforgettable.
*
My name is Andy Zimmerman. My life up until this last week was typical for your average 21 year old. Not interested in school, trying to make some money and of course, trying to meet a girl. What was not average was that I lived with my step-mom, Carol. She came into my life after my mom died. I was 6 at the time and my father re-married about a year later. My grandma Julie lived next door to us and accepted Carol as she knew I needed to have a mother. Her and Carol got a long well even though grandma was a bit quirky. Sometimes I would be up late and grandma could be seen in her backyard, chanting, making small fires and was real good at providing healing and medical remedies with herbs. She spoke of the untapped powers of the universe and nature. I remember as a little kid asking her if she was a witch. She gave me a big smile, and told me that witches are not evil and actually try to help people. I took that as a yes and asked if she flew around on a broomstick, she laughed and assured me if she was a witch, a car is much easier transportation. She always had a blast on Halloween and would always have the coolest, scariest props and decorations. I think she relished the thought of being a witch and sparking my imagination.
About 3 years ago, after high school graduation, things took a nosedive. My dad died in a car accident. Before we could recover from that Carol was laid off. Carol said not to worry, but I could tell she was freaking out. She still kept up her routine and did her best to make sure I did to. She would run in the mornings or workout on the elliptical in the living room. Even though she was my step-mom, I was always turned on by her nice body. I never knew of her seeing anyone after my dad's passing. During her lay-off we struggled, but my grandmother helped us out until Carol got a new job. I always wondered where grandma got her money from, she was always helping out and always spoiled me with gifts on birthdays and holidays. I was inclined to get a job somewhere to help out, but grandma insisted I go to college. After two years, I dropped out. I didn't want to sit at home and do nothing so I looked for a job. I tried fast food for a bit, quit that. I tried to do odd jobs here and there, anything to help out. My step-mom was real cool about the whole thing, always insisted happiness was more important.
Well, this year things were starting out OK. I had been working for a temp agency and was always on an assignment somewhere. Our neighbor on the other side of the house, Mrs. Morales was my current assignment. I worked in her real estate office doing administrative and technical support. Money was steady, but no steady girl. As Halloween approached, my grandma was getting happier by the day. She kept telling me this Halloween was going to be different. I could not wait to see what she had planned.
About three weeks before Halloween, she passed. Carol and I were devastated. With her passing, I knew my life and this Halloween were definitely going to be depressing. Carol tried to cheer me up and tell me grandma would want us to carry on.
About a week ago, Carol gave me a box. There was a note from my grandma. She stated that she wanted me to have the enclosed amulet. That amulet was her one of most cherished possessions. I recognized it and as I thought of her, could not recall ever seeing her without it. In the note she states that she has had it since she was born and it always brought her good luck and helped her reach her dreams. She advised me to always keep it with me and when things are going sideways, to hold it and wish for what I desired. I took the amulet and placed it around my neck. I went to my room upstairs and in all honesty, cried for awhile.
The next day was a day off and I was watching TV and my friend Zach shows up, honking to get my attention. I go outside and he has a new ride. In his car is his girlfriend Valerie. Valerie was a real cutie. She had long legs, blonde and nice perky tits. I only wish I could have a girl like that. Just less of a bitch. She didn't quite like me. Even then, I never understood why she stayed with Zach, as he treated her like crap. He was always telling me stories of their sexual sessions and how he even had her blow a guy in order to pay a debt. What kind of douche does that? All the more reason I pondered what she saw in him? Maybe it was the apartment, car and job which I did not have.
He waves me over and asks if I wanna go get dinner and drinks. I look in the back and there is Valerie's best friend Tracy. Another mean bitch. She was hot like Valerie, but brunette and huge tits. Tracy and Valerie both have looks on their faces making it very clear they do not want me to come.
Fuck it, I tell him sure and ask for a minute to get my wallet. Tracy says what for, you know it is empty. Zach busts out laughing and Valerie chuckles.
I go back to the house and go up to my room. I open my desk drawer and rummage for it. Tracy's comment is still stinging a bit and I wish I had a drawer full of money instead of all these papers, candy wrappers and crap. I close the drawer, grab my keys and leave the amulet on the desk. I go downstairs and leave a note for Carol that I am out with Zach.
As I get in the car, Zach asks if I have banged my step-mom. I tell him to fuck off. Zach tells Tracy my step-mom Carol is hotter than her. Tracy flips Zach the finger and with that we take off. We go eat some seafood and steaks, head to a couple of bars and finish off the night hanging out by the pier. Zach and Valerie take off leaving me alone with Tracy. I try to start a conversation, but she stops me and tells me nothing is happening between us and it would be best if I just shut the fuck up. I do. I head over to the bathroom and Zach is in there. I am peeing as is he. I am buzzed and peeing like a racehorse when I hear a camera like noise. That jerk Zach took a picture of my cock and is laughing his ass off. He tells me I have a dick like a race horse, but it is still smaller than his. I try to reach for the phone, he ran out.
I eventually catch up to him, but it is too late. He has shown the girls. I sense that Valerie and Tracy have a different attitude towards me. We make it back to the car and they drive me home. I get upstairs and notice the light on in Carol's room. I head over there just to check in. When I walk in I am floored. She is lying in bed, sleeping, but totally nude. The TV is on but the DVD ended. I shut it off. As I approach the bed to cover her and turn off the light, I notice a big dildo next to her leg. It is glistening in the light. I stand there looking at it and Carol's naked body and I suddenly feel paralyzed. I feel my dick start to stir and feel the urgent need to jerk off. I try to block that thought and do the right thing. But I cant. I take in her gorgeous body and look at her tan lines and nicely shaved bush. Her hair is covering part of her face and her lips look wet. I really want to kiss her. Her tits are not big, but more than a handful, all natural and looking like they need to be sucked. I admonish myself for that thought but my mind goes back to wondering what they might feel like. I can't help myself, I reach down and feel her left breast. It is firm and smooth. I move my thumb around to get a good hold of it and flick her nipple. Carol moves. I freak out and step back. Carol rolls over and lays belly down. I see her nice round ass and tattoo on her right butt cheek. The initials EZCZ. My dad's name was Eddie and those were obviously his and Carol's initials. The thought of my father clears the fog of desire in my head and I cover her and turn off the light. I get to my room and promptly jack off.
