Soon I woke when I was sleeping with a restless reaching feeling but did

not know what I was reaching for. I got up and started walking, but soon

found I was stalking prey that I could utilize for more than just an easy

conversation, or an evening's inspiration. Now the time was right for

something more. As I walked I thought of flies that stuck to sticky pecan

pies that people put upon the window sill, and how those fine fat flies

would feed until they satisfied their greed then buzzed about in panic

till they died. Knowing where my feet would take me if I kept on moving,

made me see myself exactly like those flies. Drawn into a situation that

with some consideration never would fulfill its smiling smell. But there

was no hesiatation in my step or in my making sure the door was quiet when

it closed. And as I walked into the darkness, I could sense a wakened

sharpness penetrating deep within the room. Then I touched her arm and

throat, and found beneath my hand a coat of moisture though the night was

not too warm. The other one was breathng deeply, so I thought he must be

sleeping, but then again I wasn't really sure. "Hold me tight and be my

master," someone whispered and I fastened fingers of my own around her

wrists which strangely were secure behind her as I began to mount and bind

her to myself wit force I could not hold. Then I seemed to hear a snicker

but I was so busy with her that I did not notice him until I felt him but

his hands around my throat anad squeeze as if the sounds I made should not

escape into the air causing me to moan too loudly as I jerked on out the

fire that I no longer could control. I was first to see the flashing

blinding light of liquid lasing out arms, but my convulsions spread to my

writhing young companions who were lost in unabandoned cream that soon

would crack and fade away. Afterwards, when it was quiet and the bonds had

been denied, I told them that we should do this again. BUt I said it would

be wrong to play these games of weak and strong together without me around

to help them understand the dangers in it, for there were so many and they

simply were too young to understand.
