A Delicious Madness

last update publish date: 2020-10-31 01:31:51

Her hat shaded her eyes, but she was well aware of her surroundings. There was a world-renowned artist work on display. It brought with it many different personalities. Art students appeared, some in questionable attire as if in rebellion to requirements required by aristocrats. A few kept their chants to themselves as they observed the controversial artwork. The guards grew eerie of the different faces, some painted as obscure as the artworks. She sat, undaunted by the parade around her. She crossed her legs and remained as calm as a day after a thunderstorm.

"Lovely isn't it?"

She looked up to notice a man in a tailored suit, the hat shading his eyes. He stood in front of her, not facing her but facing the artwork. She stood, almost to size him up. As she tilted her hat, so did he. He towered over her, broad shoulders and chiselled features. She looked back to the artwork, taking off her hat. Her red hair cascaded down the side of her neck like a river, that seemed to captivate the man. She could hear him swallowing his breath. 

"The artwork is lovely, but not my style."

His eyebrow twitched and his lip curled in the corner. "And what's your style?"

She shrugged, being observed ever so delicately. He wished he could touch the hair, let it run between his fingers. The idea made him sick with excitement. The scent of her hair captured him and draw him irresistibly to it. He slowly approached her, closer and closer, without thinking he had a lock of her hair. She felt something strange as he approached, overcome with a long disregarded fear she took a step back. He did not let go, he watched as it stretched, glistening richly against his finger. He looked at her, her freckled face, red lips and sparkling eyes. He smiled a sincere smile that made him vulnerable.

"What a lovely colour." He managed to say.

 Still holding the strand as gently as to make no more noise than a spider attaching its thread. She was afraid but more intrigued than fearful. She stepped closer to him, cautiously. The closer she stood the more his heart raced. The intangible desire arose within him in a sickening speed. He wanted to grab it, to force her mouth open and watch as her red lips froze in an expression that enthralled him. He didn't move, in fear of losing her. She placed her hand on top of his and looked up at him with moonlit eyes during the day. She tried her best to shade her emotion, to cause her rustling in her chest to still. When she looked up at him it was as if she looked into a hollow crevice of an eye, a black hole with nothing left but contempt for the living.

As brave as she was, she coughed her voice into command and reassured her confidence. 

"Who are you?"

 He was stunned by everything that she was. A colour made human. "I am but a madman, hoping love is to be my redemption."

She caressed his cheek, hearing the approval in his chest. She smiled. "Love is merely a madness, and I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do."

  • The Painters Death Wish   His dying wish

    She was wearing a classic trench coat, with a fedora and that hid most of her red hair. Sitting across from a concerned family, she stated."Like any private detective, I have seen many things in my years, even previously as a former agent."She took her hat off and entwined her fingers. "But nothing could have prepared me for what was to come." As the husband held his wife in his arms, she wailed as the detective continued. "I am sorry for your loss."

    There she was. As a lusting satyr grabbed at a feminine figure, Dona was now the sleeping Hermaphrodite artwork. Approaching her from the rear, Harry thought she represented Venus, but, the front side revealed something unexpected.Why had she been represented as Aphrodite's son and not Aphrodite herself? She was stark naked, posing like a doll with no expression. He wanted to touch her, to stroke her cheek and feel the urgency of the scene in front of him. His chest was caving in, and he found it hard to breathe. The tears st

    The doorknob twisted and a light twinkling of metal came from outside. With murderous intent, Harry flung open the door, clinging onto the arch in need for support. Like a cunning serpent, he entered the garden of artworks. Grabbing his phone torch; he lit his way through the gallery.The air was dry, and his sinuses gnawed at him. He sneezed so hard he stumbled into something near the wall. It was wet paint. The gallery was still in the making, the interior design was incomplete, but there were

    No matter the room, the smell of rotting flesh followed him like a shadow. He had to steady himself on the walls, trying to escape the voices. Fervent wailing and inaudible speech vibrated all around him. He staggered his way to an unassuming door at the far end of the house.He turned his back to it as soon as he fell, rolling down the door with his stomach clenched. He held his head in his hands, shaken and confused he looked up. Looking down the hallway, the paintings and all their tumult ceased. He was now able to breathe,

    His ribs convulsed with every breath as he sat on the edge of the bed with his hands on his knees. Sweating profusely he tried to stand but rocked his way back to the bed. He felt groggy, a headache, was waiting for him along with the clutter of a new day. He stood and stretched his shoulders, twisted his neck and walked towards the studio.He'd find himself wandering around like a desert wind, without a place to rest. He tried to stay busy with something other than work- he knew that it was a bad idea to be enthralled by the
