Mag-log in"I remember the little boy's name."
Dona got a text message from Madam Alice. She and Harry were getting ready for their double-date. She figured that anything work-related could wait. Harry had made a reservation at a conversation kitchen and bar. It was a bohemian style restaurant that overlooked the city and its urban forest. She loved it there, it was merged with a bookstore. It carried with it a certain nostalgia with it. She was ready, standing in the kitchen with a glass of water in hand. Waiting for Harry. He changed his tie because he felt that dark blue was a bit too conservative.
"Done."
He appeared. Her breath almost caught in her throat. He looked at her with the expectation that said: "So, how do I look?"
She came towards him and held his hand, soft like the surface of a peach. She smiled and looked up at him." You look like a snack."
She trailed her fingers down his chest, felt the fabric of his tie and looked up at him with dreamy eyes. His smile in response made her weak in the knees. His dimples made it worse and she said," We better get going before I take you right here and now and we're not leaving."
His eyes grew dark with lust as he scanned her bodice. He had a spectacular view of her cleavage and noticed how her sparkling dress accentuated her hips. He held her close. "I don't mind."
She was frustrated and gave a playful growl and pushed him from her."Behave." She put her finger up as if scolding a child. He motioned towards the door, making her walk first so he could smack her ass.
On the way and in the car, Harry asked," Who is her date by the way?"
She fixed her bracelet. "No idea."
He gave a nod and playfully said," Mystery Man."
She checked her phone, replying to Madam Alice's text.
-Do tell. But not at the moment, text me in about an hour and a half. And we'll get cracking-
She replied to Harry. " Well whenever I asked, she's given me surface answers."
While she was a bit curious as to who he was, she was more curious as to who the little boy was. Looking out the window at the city lights she hoped to enjoy her night, have an eventful one.
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,
*Trigger Warning* This chapter contains graphic contents.Breathless, he stood outside of Tony's residence. His throat was dry, as he swallowed in the sultry rage bobbing around his apple. He kept flicking his forefingers together. It was the witching hour, and he didn't care.
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
