Dey didn’t look away from the mass of computer components – and as DuBois stood and looked smug, she started to go through everything she knew about AIs to try and figure out what the fuck was going on. Generally speaking, there were three kinds of AI. Four, if you were a science fiction writer or fan (and Dey, being someone who grew up in a world with aliens, rayguns and spaceships, was a sci-fi fan.)
The first kind was the general purpose “autonomous” intelligence. The things that ran search programs, video game enemies, navicomputers, and other stuff that just required incredibly quick math. A lot of them hadn’t changed much from the 21st century – by 2050, humanity had essentially figured out how to search images and text documents efficiently. Navigational computers had been even easier, considering most spaceflight still relied on the math laid out by Sir Issac – the deadliest son of a bitch in space.
After those, there were general AIs.
Like me, Loki added – kicking Dey’s brain into higher speeds so she could cover all of this between blinks. General AIs were quantum programs that took advantage of the same kind of quantum effects that made human brains flexible and reactive and self reflective. They were stored on a single computer, had a limitation on how smart they could get based off math that was too complicated for Dey to understand.
Then there was Balder. Originally designed as a way to get rid of the pernicious amount of fake news that had dominated the Earth during the Culture War of the early 21st century, Balder had evolved naturally on the internet shortly after he’d been released by Google. The hows and whys had always left Dey slightly mystified. Here, Loki sighed and cut in again.
Okay, he said. The internet is made up of a bunch of integrated computers. They talk to one another. One of the ways they communicate is by sending packages of information – these packages sometimes break down due to bad programming and faults in the hardware and don’t get to deleted. Long story short, they start bouncing around the internet like free floating cellular automata. Google figured they could tap that for a decentralized source of computations.
[Why not just use a big computer?] Dey asked, her eyes settling on the very big computer that filled the center of the old ballroom. DuBois had started to open his mouth, his lips moving in slow motion as Dey’s thinking continued to be carried primarily on the fibers that threaded through her skull.
At that era, hackers and various Cultures – Reddit, 4Chan, Suchen, the Donalds – were able to take down centralized system with DDOS attacks and the like, Loki sniffed – like a posh British nobleman discussing the activities of a Brenton knight during the low middle ages. Thus, Balder used the free floating cellular automata as a way of computing, which tied into his original purpose: Tracking and understanding where news stories were coming from, so he could start filtering fake ones out.
[Then something something magic and he became self aware?]
A sufficiently large field of cellular automata can think, even if they’re only use standard 1/0 bits and not Q-bits. Loki sighed.
[So, if you wanted to run something like Balder, you... ]
Would need something with at least the computational capacity of the entire Internet of the 2020s. Loki said. That’d set you back fifty K by modern standards.
“You’re fucking kidding,” Dey exclaimed.
DuBois, whose mouth had only been half looked, frowned. “I don’t-” he started. But before he could continue, a harsh squealing screeching sound filled the air. Everyone’s eyes snapped around and Dey sprang into motion. She sprang to her feet and sprinted towards one of the doorways. She made it halfway there before the shouting started.
“Stop her-”
“Shoot him!”
“What the fu-”
“Stand down!”
That last bellow had been from the Yahaag and was loud enough and frightening enough for everyone who wasn’t sprinting for the exit to shut the fuck up. Dey got to the exit, and then was in the corridors. Then she was gone.
Kuz looked down at the railgun in his hands. The barrel flashed with alternating red and yellow lights – blinking on and off, while the interface mounted on the side flashed a word in English he couldn’t read. He shrugged his great shoulders as the two other humans who worked with DuBois advanced on him – their shotguns aimed at his guts. DuBois was speaking into his wrist, his voice a furious hiss.
“I don’t care if you haven’t found the other corpses – no one else survived that crash! Get your suits off, get your asses in the base and fucking find her. Only half the fucking ship is pressurized, it can’t be fucking hard,” he said. Then he tapped his wrist com off and glared at the Yahaag. “What the fuck just happened?”
“I attempted to shoot you,” Kuz said, casually as he tossed the railgun to the floor. It made a sound like a washing machine full of dishes hitting the ground. Paul flinched at the sound and shouted at him.
“Dude!” he said. “Those things are fucking expensive!”
“I do not care,” Kuz said. “In fact, I believe it has been made overwhelmingly clear that I was seeking to kill every last one of you.”
Paul’s face purpled. But then he looked back at his leader and said – his voice a curious mixture of furious and gloating. “I told you putting the safety locks on the railgun was a good idea. I fucking told you.”
Kuz’s eyes narrowed. “So, it is your fault my weapon did not fire,” he said. “I am revising my original sentiment, Paul. I am going to kill you first.”
Basma used her shotgun as a club. Despite all of the design work that had gone into making Shockpods the most lethal soldiers in the galaxy, there were some weaknesses inherent to functionality. A knee was a very useful joint, allowing mobility and crouching and kicking. But it was also a point of weakness, and one that Basma struck with all the force and leverage a human could – which was more than enough. Kuz dropped to his knees.
“Explain,” DuBois growled to the Yahaag. The Yahaag looked as cold as the waters surrounding the sunken ship.
“I am at a loss,” the Yahaag said. “Shockpod programming is extremely focused. But there is always, as your people say, wiggle room when it comes to biology. Kuz.” He turned to face the Shockpod. “You have caused this to happen.”
Kuz watched, trying to keep himself brave as he watched his god reach down to his pocket. He pulled out the glass tube containing the female Shockpod – the thick slimy tube of flesh and wombs writhing slightly as the Yahaag held it up. Basma whispered.
“The fuck is that, Gunny?”
“I don’t know,” DuBois said.
“Do you know what a Shockpod tribe does to a male who lets a female get killed?” the Yahaag asked.
Xee squeaked. “That’s a Shockpod female!?” she asked, her emoticon showing her shock as clearly as her voice. >:O.
“That...” Basma whispered. Her shotgun snapped up to her shoulder as she aimed it at the Yahaag. “Gunny, this fucker’s got a bitch in a jar.”
“Alien cultures, Basma, it’s fine,” DuBois said. Basma lowered the shotgun. The Yahaag looked faintly amused as he swung the container back and forth, back and forth. Kuz couldn’t help it – his hearts were in his throat, pounding as he grabbed onto the warped and twisted floor, his fingers causing the once varnished wood to squeal under the pressure.
The Yahaag dropped the vial. Kuz sprang forward and grabbed for it – it landed in his palm and he fell on his back, clutching it to his chest. The Yahaag pressed his broad, fat foot to Kuz’s throat, cutting off one source of circulation for him. The pressure grew as the Yahaag growled.
“Find. The Human. Bring her. Back.”
Kuz wheezed.
“Or else everyone will know what you did,” the Yahaag said. Then his foot kicked out. It caught the glass tube, sending it flipping through the air. Kuz watched – the world seeming to slow. It smashed against the wall next to an ancient fireplace that had once given this room a sense of home. A home that would never be. The glass flew in fragments, slicing and cutting, and the Shockpod female died in a puddle of blood. Kuz felt the blow like a kick to his hearts. He pushed himself to his feet, the scent of the female and the proximity of his god making him feel the weight of every word. Find the human. Or else everyone will know what you did.
Shockpods killed one another all the time. In battle. In ritual. By accident, from time to time.
When a female had been killed, though, they got...
Creative.
Kuz started towards the corridor leading out of the chamber, leaving behind Xee, the AI and the humans. The Yahaag followed after, clearly planning to see this through.
Xee looked after the shockpod. Then she looked back at DuBois.
“I don’t suppose you want to tell me your evil plan?” she asked, sounding hopeful.
DuBois sighed, loudly. His hand rubbed along his face and he dropped it.
“Evil,” the AI, Forseti, hissed from his large super computer.
“Fine,” DuBois said. “You’re some kind of special forces operative, aren’t you?”
“A-Actually I’m a science fiction author,” Xee said, her emoticon shifting. ^///^.
DuBois made a face. He walked over and then knelt down before Xee. “What do you know of our history, alien?” he asked, watching her intently. Up close, he radiated a sense of danger, similar to what Dey did. But unlike Dey, Xee had no certainty about his control or his lack of hateful urges. The fact he also had a set of three parallel scars on his face also left her entirely discomforted. It reminded her too much of Huntresses who had let their faces get wounded and let themselves drop into enternal battle-madness.
“A little?” she said. “I know you’re the only species to discover faster than light travel before unifying your culture.”
“That’s the pertinent point,” DuBois said. He smirked at her. “And that’s what we’re here to fix, my little author. We’re here to save the world.”
Dey ducked into a room that had been left to rot and breathed slow and steady. She worked her restraints against one of the barnacles. The plastic met the hard mass – most barnacles these days had evolved to be acid resistant and the plastic started to come away in small chunks.
[Plan?] Dey asked.
The Titanic 2 was built only a few years before DV drives were invented. It’s possible that there are some DV batteries worked into the superstructure ... but highly unlikely, Loki said. We’re better off getting a K9 from the bad guys. They’ve got to use something to power the shield generators.
[So, we need to yank the power supply of a shield generator that is keeping a few hundred thousand tons of water pressure off a ship that spent a century or so rusting. While being hunted by-]
“Wife!” Kuz’s bellow echoed down various corridors. “I am currently hunting you. I am armed with nothing save for a knife, as my erstwhile allies-” He was cut off by a loud grunt.
[-by my husband. Great.]
I thought you said you weren’t actually married, Loki said, his voice amused.
[I ... shut up, ] Dey thought and felt her wrists come free. [Chances they’ve hurt Xee?]
Minimal, Loki said.
Dey peeked around the corner of the room. The voice had been hard to pin down, as it had been echoing through long abandoned corridors and around corners. But it had to come from the direction of the ballroom. That meant anything that way would lead away from Kuz. And right to the edge of the shields keeping the oceans crushing grasp from finally claiming the Titanic 2. Dey frowned as she rubbed her wrists. She looked around the room, opening a few doors. She found rusted coat hangers and an ancient laptop that had once had crabs living in it before the water had been drained away.
Useless.
A heavy, steady footfall filled the corridor.
The Yahaag, Loki said.
Dey peeked around the corner. Kuz was standing slightly in front of the Yahaag, looking as hangdog as she had ever seen the Shockpod look. The Yahaag was carrying an alien gun. At least, she thought it was a gun, though she had no idea what it fired. It looked slightly biological, with smooth whorls and crustacean style spines. But the front was all tech: A hardened metal set of four prongs, reaching outwards like a crooked set of fingers. Between each prong crackled a thin line of white light. Dey picked up the laptop and looked out and down the corridor.
That’s a stairwell leading to lower decks, Loki said – translating the Mandarin that was the only visible signage on one of the doors, the English lettering long since covered by growths of sea-life.
The Yahaag stepped forward again, the sound of his footfalls echoing through the corridor – not just in the weight of his stride, but also in the groaning and creaking of the floor and ceiling and walls. Dey tensed, then hurled the laptop out. The weapon went off and the laptop became trapped in a sphere of golden light. Dey sprinted from the room and smashed, shoulder first, into the stairs. The door exploded inwards, the hinges screaming in protest. Dey staggered down the stairs – and the metal snapped under her weight. With a scream, she plunged straight down, hit the stairs below that first switch back, and rolled backwards.
Pain bloomed along her sides. She looked and saw blood welling from one shoulder, her forearm, and her left thigh. She hissed through clenched teeth.
“It seems your metallurgic technology has failed you,” the Yahaag rumbled as he came to the doorway.
Dey forced herself to her feet – Loki dulling the pain. But then she saw it. Something that might give her an edge. Sitting on the landing across from where she had sprawled was an emergency kit. There was a set of emergency flares, a breather, a life vest, a cheap communication device of some kind, and a coiled tube that could have been anything. The glass hadn’t broken when the Titanic 2 sank, and no one had reached the kit.
But before she could charge for it, Kuz started down the stairs.
“I ... cannot not fight you, Dey,” he said. “If I do...”
He sounded wracked with guilt.
[Guess he didn’t watch enough Stargate, ] Dey thought. Loki – who was gauging distances – shouted.
Now!
Dey ran forward, her left leg twinging slightly even through the pain block. She got to the emergency kit and smashed her elbow into the glass. It clattered to the ground – and Kuz stood between her and the Yahaag’s field of fire. She grabbed one of the flares and held it up. Kuz froze.
“This!” she said, her voice tight. “You recognize it.”
“What is it?” the Yahaag asked, his voice flat.
“It’s a ... Corbomite Bomb,” Dey said.
Really?
[Shut up, Loki, ] she thought.
Kuz stood stock still. Then slowly, he said: “Yes. I have studied such devices. If she activates it, the entire ship will be destroyed.”
“Who puts a bomb in a stairwell on a pleasure cruise liner?” the Yahaag asked.
“Humanity does,” Kuz said, with such conviction that even Dey half believed it. “During the time period that this vessel was launched, great was were fought via various cultural groups. It was called the Culture Wars. It devastated much of the planets political and economic units.”
Well, uh, he’s not entirely wrong, Loki said.
The Yahaag sighed. “Then move out of the way.”
“If he moves, I set the bomb off,” Dey said, grinning. Kuz grinned back at her.
“I have recorded the terrible thing you did,” the Yahaag said. “Even if I die, it will still reach your tribe. Your name will be hated by your entire culture. Everyone you have ever known will despise you. You let a female die.” His voice was like an avalanche – it started off slow, and grew faster and more terrible. Dey saw the weight of it bearing down on Kuz. His shoulders trembled and his head bowed.
Dey bit her lip. [Loki, can you make a sound only Kuz can hear? Shockpods live underwater some of the time, they hear differently, right?]
... theoretically... Loki said. But I need a speaker to work through.
Dey shifted slightly to the side and groped behind herself.
“What are you doing?” the Yahaag asked, his own posture shifting. He tried to cover Dey, but he still couldn’t get a good shot past Kuz’s bulk. Kuz did nothing to assist him. Dey’s finger found the ancient com and she prayed to the Gods it might still work. She flicked it on.
It seems to work, Loki said.
[Send Kuz this: You can kill him. He can’t have sent any message anywhere – we’re under miles of water, he has no communication tech that can get through that shit!]
Kuz gulped. His eyes closed. “I can’t,” he whispered. “He’s my god. I’ve already tried once and...”
Dey grinned slowly. “Hey, Kuz. We nailed our god to a fucking tree! You can do it too,” she said. Kuz’s eyes closed. His hand twirled the knife that he held, spinning it around his fingers. The blade flashed and glinted. Dey shifted her grip on the flare. The Yahaag, though, was looking all of his dark red eyes at the emergency kit. His brow furrowed, vast creases of flesh narrowing to an almost perfect V.
“That says emergency flare,” the Yahaag said.
Kuz spun and hurled his dagger into the Yahaag’s chest.
“Why do your people call themselves Huntresses?” DuBois asked, watching Xee intently. Xee gulped.
“Our race was given technology by the Great Ones. We battled the Veil Keepers as foot soldiers. Because we could naturally rip them apart, we were called Huntresses.” Xee lifted her head with no small pride.
“So, you fought for a cause,” DuBois said. “I’ve heard of the Mumblers – that’s what we call the Veil Keeper.” He nodded. “I’ve heard of how they’re basically the next best thing to Satan out there. You know, down to your race name, to your history, what it means to battle against evil. Humanity isn’t like that. Not really.” He shook his head. “I joined the USMC because I thought I’d be protecting America. Do you know what I actually did?”
Xee shook her head.
DuBois stepped away from the wall. He had drawn a combat knife before she had realized it and tossed it from hand to hand. It was a nervous motion – one that he almost didn’t seem to realize he was doing.
“I killed people. Russians, Chinese, even Americans – pirates, mostly. I killed aliens. I’ve killed some Huntresses, I’ve killed Shockpods, I’ve even killed some of those Xeth.” He made a face. “If you can name a planet humanity has set foot on, I’ve been there and half the time, I took a bullet or a laser while doing it. And the whole time, I didn’t make America safe. America’s fine. What I did was secure colonies. Colonies for more resources. Colonies to put up little American flags. Colonies that pumped billions of dollars into corporations that paid off lobbyists to get themselves even more fucking money.” He gestured to Paul. “Corporations willing to sell out humanity’s future.”
“Preach,” Paul said. “You can’t believe how fucking twisted that transie is.”
“That who?” Xee asked.
“Gallagher,” DuBois said. “Do you think she’s actually human?” He shook his head. “She doesn’t think without letting that computer in her head help her. Every corporation in the world wants to make every human just like that. They already control our media, our economy, our food. Now, they want to add our bodies and our minds.”
Paul nodded. “I think she even has sex with it.” He shuddered in horror at the thought.
Xee’s quickly shut off her emoticon functionality before her blush gave her away.
“B-But I don’t get it,” Xee said, figuring that she had to do her part to help Dey in this situation. She might not be able to escape, but she could do some intelligence. “Why do this? Why not go into politics and attempt to pass legislation that-” DuBois snorted, loudly.
“The reason why America’s lost its way is the same way humanity as a whole has lost its way. We invented the DV drive too early.” He sighed. “In the 21st century, we were starting to become one. Economically, politically, culturally. Then the DV drive comes and every greedy, grasping nation-state and corporate entity shoots off into space.” He shook his head, then pointed his finger at Xee. “Humanity only makes friends when we have a bigger fish to fry. The Yahaag Corporatocracy has its eye on Earth. Has for decades. A population of nine billion people, most of them technical, a vast profusion of industrial and commercial resources to exploit? They would become the economic powerhouses of the Orion arm with Earth under their thumb.”
Xee gasped. “Y-You ... you’d sell out your own world!? But how?”
“It’s really not hard,” DuBoisa said. “The only thing that can crack the quantum encryption on the orbital defense network is an AI. The Titanic 2 went down with a fragment of Balder on board – the idiots panicked and shut their own fucking network systems down when he announced that he was self aware. They trapped a chunk of him on-board, and that chunk of AI scuttled the ship. Turns out, you rip a piece of an AI out of the whole, you get a really smart pile of crazy. Opened every scuttling door and set the engines into a destructive feedback loop.”
Xee gaped behind her face plate. “So it wasn’t an iceberg!”
“Of course it wasn’t a fucking iceberg!” DuBois snapped. “This fucking ship had fucking radar!”
Xee paused.
“What’s radar?” she asked.
The Yahaag staggered backwards. His hand went to the handle of the knife, but before he could yank it free, Kuz was on him. The Shockpod brought his knee up. It impacted with the Yahaag’s belly, causing armor plate and obese flesh to both jiggle and ripple. The Yahaag responded by opening his mouth as wide as possible, the mouthparts extending outwards in a grotesque X that made his mouth and throat look like a lamprey from hell. Then he bit down on Kuz’s face. Kuz grunted, grabbing at the mouth that seemed to be sawing on him.
Dey started up the stairs. She grabbed onto the railings and vaulted over the hole that she had left when she dropped through. When she landed, her still bleeding leg gave way and she hit the ground with a yelp and a curse.
The Yahaag – seeing her with two of his eyes – swung the weapon around.
Fired.
The golden sphere that had surrounded the laptop could stretch, as it turned out. Dey’s back arched and her every nerve seemed to burn as she writhed and punched at the air, trying desperately to fight through the pain. But she couldn’t stop herself from screaming and screaming and screaming. It felt as if her mind was being held in the light and torn and shaken and tossed. A tiger had her head and he didn’t like her.
Kuz slammed his fist three times into the Yahaag’s gut. The Yahaag’s mouth opened and Kuz staggered backwards. His face was a mask of blood from dozens of tiny cuts that the Yahaag’s teeth had left on his greyish skin. Dey rolled onto her back, smoke rising from her form. But rather than being blackened and charred, she simply looked frazzled, her hair exploding outwards around her head like a black nimbus. Kuz spared her a glance – then looked back as the Yahaag pulled the knife from his chest and slashed it at Kuz. Kuz stepped backwards, lifting his arms. A line of blood welled on his fore arm.
Then the two other goons arrived – both women, both clad in thick armor that still dripped with moisture. They held guns that had been adapted to fire underwater.
“Don’t shoot!” the Yahaag said. “I have the AI. If this is destroyed, we lose everything.”
He held up the pistol in his hand.
Dey opened her eyes. She groaned, lifting her hand. “Where...” she whispered.
Kuz frowned as the two women advanced. Their weapons slid onto their backs.
They pulled different weapons. One of them held a short baton made of sturdy metal. She flicked on a button that caused it to spark and crackle with electricity. The other one simply had a wickedly curved knife, which she tossed from palm to palm. They fanned outwards, the Yahaag stepping backwards. He holstered the weapon.
Dey, meanwhile, was starting to sob. “Loki! Loki! Loki!” she wailed.
Kuz frowned as he looked from woman to woman to Yahaag. “You have stolen Loki,” he said.
“Correct,” the Yahaag said. “With it, I have this whole planet.”
Kuz’s eyes narrowed. “So, you do work for the Fiscal Regulatory Commission.”
The Yahaag nodded. “Not that you will live to tell anyone.”
He and the others charged.
“You’re a monster!” Xee shouted – her voice sounding painfully shrill and helpless to her ears. “Millions of people will die! And having a unified culture under the Yahaag isn’t-”
“Whoever said anything about allowing the Yahaag to rule us?” DuBois asked, sounding amused. “That’s just the thing. That FRC goon? He thinks humans will just roll over. But I know us. We’ll fight them in the beaches. We’ll fight them in the fields and in the mountains and the cities. They’ll win the battle, sure. But every human battlefleet in the galaxy will join arms, link forces, and they will hit the Yahaag like you cannot imagine.” His grin was broad. “And we’ll throw them off Earth. We’ll be one.” He slammed his palms into his chest. “One race! One people!”
Xee shook her head. “And how many die?”
“If a general war starts between our superpowers, billions die,” DuBois said, his voice quiet and grim. “And once it’s over, we’ll never unite.”
The woman with the baton swung at Kuz’s head. He spun and slammed his tail into her gut. The armor she wore clunked and absorbed most of the kinetic impact. She staggered and her friend stabbed at Kuz’s gut. Kuz intercepted the blade with his palm. The blade pierced and slammed out through his knuckles. There was minimal pain – Shockpod pain receptors were very specifically tailored. Kuz twisted his wrist and the knife sprang from her palm. Now he had a knife. He yanked it free.
The Yahaag slammed into his back. His god was immense and bloated and amazingly strong. He wrapped his arms around Kuz’s belly and squeezed, finding the exact point where he could put pressure on the dual rib-cages in Kuz’s trunk, bones squeezing nerve endings. Kuz grunted low in his throat.
The woman with the baton swung up between his thighs. The shocking tip struck Kuz’s quad.
His eyes closed and he made a noise somewhere between a woof and a groan.
“Hah!” the woman grinned.
Kuz opened his eyes and threw his knife – putting all the weight that he could into the toss. His wrist made the full motion and his fingers opened up at just the right moment. The tip of the curved blade hit the bottom of the baton weilder’s mouth and plunged upwards, through her tongue and into her brain. Her eyes went crossed and then she dropped to the ground – dead.
The other woman screamed. “You motherfucker!”
She leaped forward.
Kuz fought through the pain, fought through the crushing that the Yahaag was putting on him. He lifted his feet off the ground and kicked out, but the woman dodged aside at the last second, taking the blow on the shoulder. It still caught her against the wall and sent her sprawling. Then something inside of Kuz snapped under the pressure that the Yahaag was putting on him. Kuz coughed around the pain, trying to slap at the Yahaag’s body with his tail.
“Die, defective merchandise,” the Yahaag rumbled – his voice calm.
Dey staggered to her feet behind the Yahaag. She held the ruined laptop in her hand and brought it smashing down onto the back of the Yahaag’s head. It shattered and plastic gouged along the armor plates of the Yahaag’s scalp, utterly harmless. The Yahaag didn’t even turn. Instead, he just kept squeezing on Kuz.
Dey’s face twisted with rage. “Give him back!” She screamed. She grabbed the Yahaag’s head, her fingers digging into his eye-sockets. Blood flowed and the Yahaag bellowed as Dey screamed just as loudly. It wasn’t a scream of pain – or maybe it was a scream of true pain. “Give him back!” She howled, dragging the Yahaag forward. She bounced his head off the wall with an unmusical clunk. The Yahaag let go of Kuz. Kuz dropped.
The surviving woman had gotten the knife out of her friend’s head, her face red mask of anger.
Kuz kicked out. The woman lifted her knife and slashed at the bottom of his foot. The blade didn’t quite connect – instead, Kuz kicked the flat. The woman braced against the handle and Kuz found himself over balancing. He tumbled backwards, knocking Dey away from the Yahaag. The woman with the knife got to her feet. The Yahaag – only one of his eyes still functioning, the other three nothing more than gory ruins – staggered down the hall. He tripped, then dragged himself to his feet.
Dey panted, raggedly. “Give him back...” She rasped, her voice ragged.
The woman with the knife stepped out, standing between Dey and the Yahaag.
Cherry was immersed. Immersed in her sister and nephew’s visit. Personally, I thought Cherry had been close to totally falling apart when her sister and nephew had first appeared at the door. It’s one thing to know something is going to happen in the future and quite another to have that scary thing dropped in your lap. Big bad bitch Samantha was far away now. In her place was respectful, contrite Cherry who had been literally poked and forced to act in ways totally alien to Samantha’s usual...

Little Leora flicked a quick glance up to the spot above the television on the wall. She was stretched out on the large, curving sofa in her living room. The chubby small dog was sprawled on a rug on the floor. It was sleeping soundly even if the television was on. The TV was always on.She was looking rather cute this evening in her new eyeglasses. Paul had finally made her go get her eyes checked. Now they knew why she was always squinting when watching the tube. She was nearsighted. She cried...
Quickie SexIt is 3:00 o'clock in the morning. The dog is sleeping on the rug in the center of the darkened living room. Then he starts up and scampers into the hallway, his claws seeking purchase on the polished wood floor. The overhead light is brightly lit there. Little Leora is down at the end of the hall in the bathroom tinkling into the toilet. The pup goes to watch her in hopes they will play.Leora uses tissue to wipe her pussy, getting it all dry. She stands up, stepping out of the frilly panties...
Quickie SexLittle Leora is resting on the sofa in her new apartment. She is sharing the place with Malia. They've been getting to know each other for a few weeks now and it seems to be going well. They moved in together when Leora and Paul broke up. Leora got the dog.She became so very tired of Paul never being there for her, or when he was at home he was playing with his collectible toys. So seldom was he paying attention to her. And a princess needs care and consideration more than anything in the world...
Strap-On Sex“Beg,” I simply told her. “Master? Please?” Cherry whined “What have I told you about complete sentences? Please is not a sentence. It’s a word,” I said, winking at Trix so Cherry didn’t see, to let her know I was playing with Cherry. “Verbal and complete, Cherry. Verbal and complete.” I really wanted her to work for the chance to masturbate even though the only reason she felt the need to, was to prepare herself for sex with someone she hadn’t even chosen herself. “Please May I ... rub...
“I’m sorry, Master! Really! We had this bet, you see...” Cherry said around the load in her mouth. “Fuck!” I was apoplectic again. I instantly saw what was going on. Berry was in training because she’d lost a fucking bet. “Let me get this straight. I’m training someone who had no intention of ever changing?” “That’s not the way it is, Sir!” Berry came to her mom’s defense. “The training really works and I was better for a little while after the presentation. But ... well I ... I just had...
Because no delivery company would come here, I’d had to pick that first night’s pizza up, which allowed me the opportunity to stop at a store and add condiments to what they were about to be fed. Tabasco sauce, mustard, ketchup and miracle whip were added to a slice, then another was flipped upside down on top making a pizza sandwich. The girls had eaten while bound and blindfolded. Boy did the smell of the tabasco sauce get their attention. It’s probably worth mentioning here that I spoke...
I arrived back at the apartment and it was empty. That didn’t surprise me. It just meant that Cherry and Berry would still be cleaning Rahjeesh’s house. What I couldn’t fathom was that my coffee pot was still cold and empty. I figured I’d forgotten to add that task to their to-do list. I mean I must have or it would have been done, right? I found the list just where I’d left it and it was indeed written right there. I was much more confused than angry at first. It wasn’t until I realized the...
We sat in my truck as Berry recovered. “You need to understand something about me, girls,” I said as we waited. “I’m a practical guy. I own what I need to, in order to get along in life. Take this truck for example,” I continued as I gestured at the vehicle we were sitting in. “See the dust? I’m a tidy guy so it surprises me that you haven’t asked why the dashboard is dusty. It’s dusty because I have better uses for my time than to spend my Saturday afternoons making my work vehicle sparkle...
It dawned a grey and wet morning in Buckman County. Sunday is the day I traditionally slept in before getting busy with the housework and laundry. Having two girls living with me I no longer needed to worry about such mundane tasks, provided the actual chores were tightly supervised. Both Cherry and Berry were naturally lazy and would have only opened their eyes, given their druthers, just in time for lunch. I’d learned that lesson on morning one. I’d gone to bed and I’d left them with a...
When Berry was done with the homework test I’d given her, I picked it up to grade it. She passed this particular test with a score of exactly ninety percent. At first I thought she’d cheated. It took me fifteen minutes of poring slowly through the textbook, attempting to find the pre-printed answers. They simply weren’t there. After that I went online and found the matching teacher’s guide that DID have the answers. Berry was cruising through school because she had to be there, NOT because...
It felt like it had taken months but it had only been about a week. I had provided a week of constant and consistent rigid discipline for these women. They were still at their core, bitches. Cherry had called herself ‘trifling’ however trifling is the same as ‘annoying’ and annoying would be a major understatement. Describing their core as evil might be a little much as well. Self centered and mean would be closer to the mark, although the two of them had definitely grown noticeably...
I was going to start this by recreating the moment I woke up in a hospital bed. That was a story in itself. The thing is, I don’t really want to relive not being able to open my eyes or talk. There are things that are good to relive. That experience wasn’t one of them. I’ll just leave the experience as a summary. From my perspective, one minute I was in my apartment and the next I was lying flat on my back, not being able to will my eyes to open or hear the sound of my own voice - yet I was...
“Is it safe?” Dey asked. A moment later, Loki managed to translate her question, which came out of her cellphone in what the locals sometimes referred to as ‘English’. The muggy heat of the uptown Georgetown was filled with the babble of dozens of human languages and dozens of alien languages and a truly preposterous number of mosquito. Despite the best efforts of mosquito tracking lasers, semi-intelligent electrical webbing, and a few pushes to genetically engineer the pests into extinction,...
“Dey!” Dey sat up. Somehow, during the night, she had managed to get her panties on her face while tossing and turning. She shook her head and her panties hit the lap. She spent a few moments wondering if she should get back into bed. For the past three days, the Enterprise had been making its way across the Atlantic ocean, heading straight for the southern edge of the African Union. Around that cape, then up to the Indian Ocean. It had left her and her shipmates – an alien tourist who was...
Dey groaned as a spray of sea water slapped her in the face. Her fields could have knocked the spray aside. But rather than using her energy on that, she and Loki had decided in their infinite wisdom to save her K9s for something more important. In case it came up. So far, she was regretting that choice. The engine sputtered behind her and she heard Xee’s voice breaking over the howling sound of the storm and the sleeting rain that added to the wash of the waves. “We’re getting some red...
In the dark history of the galaxy, there had been a great war. Suns had been used as weapons, while the younger races had been grabbed and thrown into the crucible of battle by the Great Ones and the Veil Keepers alike. Among them had been the Huntresses. Great legends of that time remained, even now into the modern era. Legends of Lin’zet and the spear of eternity, lancing down one of the Veil Keeper’s great ships from the surface of the Moon of Rexor. Legends of H’nor Qezlot and her great...
Having answered several questions after class and prepared the Day 2 material for tomorrow; It was already dark at 610 pm as she left the large conference room where the training was held and got on the elevator to go to her 3rd floor room. All she wanted to do was have a relaxing bath first and then maybe order a meal with a glass of wine from room sevice. She was thinking about skipping her usual 45 min on the treadmill in the exercise room for tonight. She reached her room and slipped the...
The story starts in east tennessee. I was scrolling through one of the million dating apps. That only had guys wanting head or tit pics. It seemed like every time i started to have a decent conversation with someone and i told them about me being in a wheelchair chair they would stop talking to me. And i about gave up. Then i seen him. His name was duke. He was the sexiest man i had ever seen in my life. His profile said he was 32 6'4 220lbs and ripped. I...
He rolled me onto my side and started forcing his cock back into my tight pussy. As he started to fuck me he pulled my leg back into him and started rubbing my clit. With in seconds i could feel my orgasm building at a rapid pace. With a couple more thrust and strokes of his finger i was cumming. My pussy squeezed his cock and i started to violently shake. It seemed to only make him harder. He rolled me onto my stomach...
Vanessa and I don’t have a coordinated game plan for waking the kids on school days. She’ll do it, or I’ll do it. It just works out. But it’s a chore. Walker and Mindy sleep the sleep of the dead, lost in Teenage Slumber. They sleep in one of the two private bedrooms in the loft that the owner, Gene Austin, carved out of the Wrigley for us. When it was just Walker and me in the morning, I employed the Mom Tickle-Torture method. Time-tested. Time-proven. This tactic doesn’t work with Mindy...
After a couple of months, Mindy’s father, Phillip Montgomery, decided to see firsthand where Mindy was working. Unannounced, he showed up at Mary’s shelter. Around 5 on a Tuesday evening. I’ve grown fond of Phillip. He’s a good father, despite Mindy’s problems ... what teenager doesn’t have problems? He and Rebecca seem to like each other, not the case for every married couple. Even when they’re in love. Phillip is a banker, a senior VP at the Kansas City branch of OneBank, a New York-based...
Bulldog Bannerman, fixer extraordinaire, came by my office. This time one of his three assistants, all 60-something ladies who were tougher than shoe leather, called to alert me. Bulldog, thick white hair cropped short, a sinewy body that still calls to mind the Golden Gloves fighter he had been in his teens, has an air of quiet competence. He gave me a small smile, “Favor.” “Of course.” I didn’t know him that well, not with 40 years difference in our ages. But we knew each other through...
Harold called. A first. A dubious first from my point of view. Do I really want to be in a pimp’s cellphone directory? He asked me to come see him. Another first, but an intriguing one. He sounded terse. Like he was trying to conceal his nervousness. It was Tuesday morning around 11. Harold is turning into an early riser. I parked my F-150 in front of his house. He and Columbo were waiting on the porch. The front door was closed on this late Spring day, they didn’t want any of the whores to...
There was nothing remarkable about Phillip’s sex tape. Cassandra Sanders was 34, in good shape, fairly attractive. Brunette with an average build. Phillip, at 52, was in really good shape. A little above average, and certainly more than adequate, equipment. They did it missionary style, took a shower, sipped a cocktail from the minibar in hotel robes. They she went down on him and they fucked doggy style until she got on top, reverse cowgirl, I believe it’s called. Okay, I know it’s...
Vanessa and I were out on the town. Nothing fancy, just a girls’ night out. Dinner, maybe a couple of bars first. She was wearing her hair up, pinned in a loose bun that left that elegant neck free. Skinny jeans, red. A plain white tee, tucked in. I rocked some white retro Capri pants, no camel toe, though. Sorry Walker. A blue tee to match my eyes. We looked pretty okay. Then around 9 we were discussing whether to hit the Unicorn for dinner. Maybe that new Thai place in the Northeast....
The more I thought about the sex tape with Phillip and Cassandra, the more dubious I became of an international scheme that involved the State Department. It didn’t pass the smell test. Perhaps that insight would serve me well when subpoenaed to testify in The Hague before the International Court of Justice. “Your Honors, it didn’t pass the smell test.” “Ah. Thank you for enlightening us, Ms. Jennings.” The invitation-only poker game is in the basement room off the Wrigley back alley...
Walker now has three bikinied girls in framed photographs over the bedroom bureau. I’m the original, Girl # 1. In my too-tiny pink bikini. Vanessa, classic Slavic beauty, in a green micro number. Mindy, in yellow, rocks the tiniest bikini of us all. She doesn’t seem to mind when Walker’s weekend buddies openly ogle the pinup array. In fact, Mindy seems to be like Vanessa and I are. Amused. A little proud to be ogle-worthy. Okay, fuck. A lot proud. And I know Walker is beyond pleased to be...
Probably, gun to my head, I’d admit that my three favorite meals would be a cheeseburger, ground beef tacos, and thin crust pizza. Oh god, how Midwestern-sad is that? Except, put a hand-crafted spin to those bad boys. No chain versions, thank you very much. Now I certainly can achieve the female version of a massive boner when faced with sashimi, duck confit, veal osso buco, heirloom tomatoes, Dover sole, real Kobe beef, not the domestic version. But, gun back to my head, I guess I’m just...
Losing one time-zone hour, Bear and Jessie landed at Logan a little before noon. At 6’ 8” he was a good foot and a half taller than the diminutive redhead. Jessie was dressed up, well her version of grownup garb. Black designer jeans and a white button-down shirt with an emblem of a cowboy on a bucking bronco that I’d seen her twin brother wear. They were about the same size and shared. Bear was ... Bear. His light blue Tee looked like it was painted on his chest and arms. That long...
The kids. Walker and Mindy certainly weren’t prudish about sex. They fucked, so Vanessa and I presumed, like little bunny rabbits. But they were private, not talking much about their sexual activities. They were also teenagers. Curious. Especially intrigued with Vanessa and me. About our sex life. They were respectful of our privacy. But curious. I had to smile as I came into the kitchen one sunny Saturday morning. Vanessa was telling them, “I’m selfish in bed. I love to eat Winter and she...
There were a lot of international students at Willy’s school from lots of different cultures. Girls had heard Dixie’s story and wanted some instruction of their own. “Some of them have never seen a guy’s thing, a lot of them are virgins and they want somebody safe to show them. Dixie has convinced them that you’re the guy. I’m thinking we can make some good money off this situation,” Willy said in my room a few weeks after Christmas. “What do you mean, make money?” I asked. “Look, Tim,...
We met very young. My parents moved next door to the twins' parents when I was still too little to remember anything and before the twins were born. We grew up together, I don't even remember how we met but our parents said I was out in the garden and one of the twins saw me through the fence. My parents said right from the start we were chatting excitedly with one another and some things never change. My name is Lucy. I'm 19 years old. The twins Amy and May are about a year younger at 18....

Very early Saturday morning, well before eight o’clock, my phone rang, waking me from a deep sleep. A very nervous sounding Fliss asked if she could come around. Groggily I agreed. Less than fifteen minutes later the doorbell rang and I let Fliss in. I’d barely had time to wake up and get dressed. The kettle was on and there was some bread in the toaster. Before I could ask if she wanted anything she was in my arms crying. I held her as I had done before, in silence. I heard the kettle switch...
‘Please stop.’ It was all she’d said. It wasn’t so much the words that were said, but the way she said it. Just once, soft and pained. ‘Please stop.’ The words echoed in Allison’s ears. Allison assumed Bethany was a lesbian, a full-fledged full-time lesbian who was part of this adventure. Now, it occurred to Allison that perhaps this wasn’t all play for Bethany. Maybe this was new for her too. Allison was still conflicted; more than she’d want to be or was willing to admit at the...
The Vander Hoos Sisters Part Two By ShannonQ FOUR It was after the first of the year when Jackie suggested taking a vacation somewhere warm. Ellen whole heartedly agreed. Despite the gas furnace constantly burning, the house was always a bit on the chilly side. Now that they had some money, Jackie decided that their place needed a new heating system. Ellen thought that they just needed a new furnace but after debating the subject, Ellen's logic won out. They had hot water...

I felt a bead of sweat run down my brow. My eyes followed her hands, lazily moving over her shoulders, down towards her chest, reaching the top of her breasts. The cloth continued it’s path downwards, seeming to push her hands rather than the other way around. Her fingers trailed the soft curves of her breasts, momentarily leaving white lines in the skin. I felt my breath stop as the cloth strained and stretched, starting to slightly dig into the two wondrous gifts in front of me. Two...
“I trust you’re going to be a good kitty whilst I’m at work!” he says as he slams shut the door to my cage and secures it with a heavy duty padlock. “Meowwww” I mock and add a wink for which I earn a scornful look, and then my master is gone, and as the front door closes, the scent of his aftershave lingers in the air to torment me. “How am I supposed to be anything but good!” I state aloud, the sound of my own unfamiliar voice, a comfort I saved for my many hours alone. I miss my master when...
since started working as telephone operator for a low salary of rs.5000 because of the compassion of my husband’s boss. He made me the raandi of his office. I have to satisfy his clients. I also satisfy his friends. My husband is blind. So he does not know what is happening. He did not mind as long as he was getting money from me. I cannot live without sex even for one day.

I ran back inside and jumped back on my Xbox I was just about to go online to play GTA online with my friends where we would finish our spree when my sister and her friend came inside. I got on well with my sister and we laugh at everything! I didn't really know her friends though because she was VERY shy and barely ever spoke but I always thought she was really hot she was small and had HUGE tits like E's or something she was sleeping over tonight because her parent were going to the same...
Illustrations by Paul Forrest "THAT'S FINE, but will it do what I want it to do?" Dr Lewis propelled her chair away from her desk and crossed her shapely legs. There was a faint smile playing around her full lips. She allowed her white coat to gape open, revealing a more than well-filled pale blue blouse. Much more than well-filled. It was so well-filled that there were gaps between the buttons, gaps big enough to see what the doctor was wearing underneath, if Lucinda had been...
Year Zero: My Violent Heart "Did you get it?" Brian asked his friend Peter. "I got it. No problem." "Great I have wanted to try this thing out. This is going to be so funny." "If you pick the right target it'll be." "What did you get exactly?" "I got it from a woman at the salon I work at. Everything she thinks about her appearance." "No one knows?" "Of course not. I put the collector into the hair dryer. No one suspects a thing," "Great." Peter and Brian...

xmoviesforyouAbby had little difficulty in getting to this point on the B3227 from Taunton heading towards South Molton, and guessed that somewhere on this road she should see a sign indicating her turn. Yet as she drove further and further into Devon she became uneasy that no such sign had revealed itself. Navigation became more of a problem as she drove deeper into the countryside, signposts, when you could find them, indicated a destination which then received no further mention at all upon succeeding...

Her name is Barbara and I think she is damn cute. She is very nice and has a good head on her shoulders. I like her, she makes Beth happy. They also have a lot of sleepovers at each other’s house.

I do not intend chronicling the campaign in the Iberian Peninsula, although it brought fame and fortune to Arthur Wellesley and added fresh lustre to the reputation of the British army. There are those far mightier with the pen than I to describe the battles, so I shall just touch on the points of the campaign were I was involved. The 69th arrived too late for the Talavera campaign, and so spent our first six months in Portugal getting more intimately acquainted with the topography of that...
When it all started, my beautiful wife Jane and I had just had our son, and I had recently been promoted at work. By all accounts we were doing well, or at least moderately so: we had our own two-bedroom apartment in the city, had paid off our student loans, and had a fairly stable, happy marriage. We were both in our early thirties and had stable careers. No one, least of all me, could have predicted what would come next.
Ce premier chapitre, présentant les acteurs et les circonstances des fâcheux événements qui s'ensuivront est peu chargé en véritables descriptions sexuelles, de fait l'auteur semble avoir voulu mettre en évidence la montée du désir entre deux personnes amies qui ne de prime abord ne se convoitaient ni l'un ni lautre. * C'était la dernière semaine que Chris passait avec Lisa e Dave en tant qu'invité. Il avait déjà passé deux semaines de bon temps avec eux. Dave était un grand ami...
This story I’m going to tell you now, takes place in possibly the most common of common schools for common people in the middle of East London. Now before you run off, I’d best introduce the two main characters. James Rayburn, 15, recently switched schools as his parents bore the brunt of exploiting wealth. Private school in Westminster immediately changes to shoddy public school in Peckham. Let’s not deny it’ll be a challenge! James himself is a rather strapping young lad. He did rather...
Standing in line at the Unemployment office was a nightmare for Carlos who never envisioned himself being here. He had been fired for being caught smoking marijuana on his break. Ironically, it had been his first time trying the stuff but nobody would believe that. He had looked for a job for three weeks and now had just lost his apartment. He was staying at a motel and was running low on cash. He had worked as a day laborer for a few days but found it difficult to get work. As the line moved...
GayI did not write this it is a real first time story I'm now a high school senior, and I've been out for five years, but my most memorable experience occurred the summer after freshman year. I started hanging out with my friend Tina again, even though we were good friends we had drifted for a couple weeks. Her cousin Lexy had just moved here from Lebanon, and her family was staying with Tina's family.I was 15 at the time, Tina was 16 and had her license, and Lexy was 18. Tina dropped me off at...
Quintus Serverus was grunting and sweating profusely. He was straining under immense self imposed pressure. A Roman orgy was meant to be pleasure defined. The reason why the barbarian hordes wanted to be in, rather than outside the Empire. Still five butt holes to go was a demanding task. His cohort of slave girls and boys and his reputation as a party stayer on the line. Country villas were luxurious; but by Jupiter, a whole weekend of sex, hopefully there were some gladiators and captives to...
I met David at the Driver's License Bureau. He liked to drive, and loved getting head.I first met David when he had just recently graduated high school but was still without his driver’s license. I graduated a couple of years before him. I had lost my wallet so I needed to get my license replaced. David was applying for his temporary license at the same time I was getting my license replaced. We were sitting right next to each other at the license bureau waiting for our respective number to be...
