Survival Of The Fittest
The enchanting lights of the crystals blurred together into a muddy brown before my eyes as Ulrik sped through the thickening crimson haze.I desperately wanted to crane my neck and try to figure out what was chasing us but aside from my dangling legs, I was completely immobile. Apparently Keanu's brain hadn't quite arrived at the same conclusion mine had as I could feel the reverberations from his pointless thrashing through Ulrik's bark-like skin."What is wrong with you bro? Put me down! Are you insane? Do I look like a helpless little female?" A quick pause as he reassesses,then "No offence,Jude"
I'd shrug if I could.
"None taken."
I'm usually all bark and no bite.
Ulrik powers on relentlessly and my hair comes completely undone from the bun I'd fashioned on the hill.
"Hey! What is WITH you bro? What are you running from? Where are you taking us? Hey!HEY!" His voice is thick with insult and outrag

"Keanu don't be an idiot!" My less than ideal plea fell on deaf (crazy!) ears and he kept walking directly in the path of the hulking eyesore.I desperately wanted to go after him but my feet were frozen in place,such was the overwhelming power of my fear.Something hit me and stuck to the back of my neck and I whirled around, reflexively reaching for the offended spot.My fingers came into contact with something hard yet slightly flexible at the same time that my eyes registered a now earless Nazir Hound that lay a few feet away from me.Oh please God no.My feet started to do a little anxious dance,as they would if I really needed to pee,while I removed the object (be a twig,or a stone,or even a glob of mud, please God) and slowly brought it around to my face.God must have thought it would be funnier for him if he ignored my fervent prayer since the thing dangling from my index finger and thumb was indeed the severed,grey,half rotted ear of the fallen hound.Needles
Follow Through Darkness,Old Friend
The darkness is all encompassing and infinite,a vast and eternal thing that swallows us whole.We dangle in it's midst for a fraction of a second before we descend into free fall.As before,I can see myself and those around me clearly,despite being enclosed in inky blackness.We're falling through time and space,with no end or destination in sight.We're in The Deep again."Aaaaahhhhh!!" A scream pierces the dark and echoes thinly,then is absorbed by the void.Keanu is to my left,clutching at the air,kicking his feet and looking around wildly.His wail peters out then starts up again,even louder than before.Ulrik is to my right,glowing contentedly purple with his arms and legs folded in the lotus position.He gives Keanu an indolent glance then faces forward and closes his eyes,as if entering a deep meditation,utterly unaffected by my best friend's obvious terror.Jerk."Keen,chill," I

Keanu and I were beside him in an instant.I tried to shake him but it was like trying to move a mountain."Ulrik!"No response."Yo,Yo!.....wake up man," Keanu slapped his chest twice,wincing each time but his concern negated the pain.I frantically searched his exposed skin for an injury we hadn't noticed,a snake bite,anything.His eyes were closed and his body completely still.I bent and put my face an inch away from his nose and felt the air leaving his nostrils.He was breathing but it was shallow and well paced,as if he had fallen into deep slumber.His skin was unbroken and unmarred.Keanu tried to find a pulse point but his skin was hard and impenetrable and he fell back on his haunches,stared at the door that had opened into a wide foyer.I was trying to move Ulrik's hundred pound head from side to side but it proved to be as futile as trying to move his body.Dammit, weren't there supposed to be people in this place?

"Your fellow Globites,now sit," Glob said,his tone commanding and final, before they could answer.Keanu and I looked at eachother again and he nudged me forward.I pulled out the second gilded chair beside the woman,leaving an empty seat between us.Stranger danger right?I descended into butt heaven.My bruised and weary backside sank into plush cushiony goodness and I let out a little thankful sigh.I wasn't as quiet as I thought because the red head beside me smiled knowingly then raised her eyes to watch Keanu take the seat next to me."Hi,I'm Logan," she said with a faint Irish twang and a crooked smile,extending her hand.She was pale in a way that made me seem tan,with fine bones and pixie features in a heart shaped face.Her fiery red hair was barely held back by an elastic band that struggled to contain her riotous corkscrew curls.Green eyes smiled into mine and I shook her hand,ignoring the spark of fema

I cupped my throat,focused on gulping down air and stifling the reflexive coughing.Glob walked past me and my eyes followed him inexorably,as if he was a magnet and I was iron.Keanu lay sprawled on the floor,with his chair now on it's side, where he had been thrown.Glob offered him a hand and he looked at it like it was something he wanted to kill (I'm surprised it didn't shrivel up,turn black and fall off) for a moment,then rose to his feet unassisted and came to my side."Are you ok?" He pulled my hand gently from my throat and rubbed my back while examining the bruise that had no doubt formed.Logan advanced in my periphery,clutching a napkin."I've never seen anyone choke like that," she almost whispered,reaching out a hand as if to stroke my face,then snatching it back when she became aware of the action."Yeah well," I coughed to clear my throat,my voice was scratchy and uneven," there's a first tim
Follow Through Playing With Myself
I all but melted into the fragrant,warm water.I went completely under and stayed for a full minute before I broke the surface,wiping wet hair and water from my face.I had a moment to wish I had conjured a loofah or a washcloth but I let the errant thought slide away, taking pleasure in lathering myself with my fingers.I worked through my hair,detangling and scrubbing until I was satisfied,and ducked my head to rinse it.I grabbed the coconut and vanilla body wash I used at home and was overcome with a wave of homesickness.I thought of my parents and lecturers and smiled as I imagined the opposite reactions they'd each have to me being missing.My parents would call the national guard and offer a reward for my safe return and my college instructors would throw a party in honor of my absence.I wasn't exactly the best student.I did love my mom and dad though.Oh how I wish I'd had the presence of mind to grab my phone.I guess I can cut myself some slack since I went from bei
Follow Through Right Into Your Arms
I floated on a soft cloud,naked and unbothered with my legs crossed,counting the dancing Freia trees above me as they hopped off the burgundy hill.One fell and veered out of the que and made a beline for my mouth.I opened wide instantly,somehow certain that it would reduce in size and fit snugly inside.I groaned in ecstasy as the rich chocolaty goodness filled my mouth and slid thickly down my throat.Oh yeah.I lifted my hand to run through the red hair on top of the head that rested on my pubic bone,caressing the tight curls in a bid to comfort as the unidentifiable person sobbed into the juncture of my thighs."Aaaw, don't cry Keanu, it's ok," I said softly,staring at the orange-pink sky,strangely unaffected by the wrenching sobbs drenching my pubes though my words were sympathetic.Red rimmed green eyes lifted and pooled,tears spilling in rivulets down a pixie like heart shaped face.
Follow Through Way Back When
I marched into the dining hall that doubled as the conference room and snarled at Glob's perfect face."I want to go home."He was seated at the head of the table,with Keanu and Logan on either side of him."Ms.Bishop,please sit." he asked in a tone that made me feel like a little girl that was barely tolerated.I folded my hands and stared him down,wishing I could use one of his beautiful horns to give him an enema.Wayne walked past me and took a seat beside Keanu who conspicuously avoided meeting my eyes.Which added fuel to the flames of my anger.Make it an enema and a prostate exam.Wait,why is there now an image of two perfectly proportioned butt cheeks in my head.You're angry Judah! Keep it together!"Who the hell do you think you are? Commanding us like a herd of sheep,keeping us here against our will and wooing us with you
