He leaves after midnight without kissing
me good-bye.
In my dreams I look for
him.
I open the door to his office and enter hell.
Naked men in chains hanging
from ceilings, screaming. Women lost and lonely, crying for warmth and
a gentle touch. Young girls posing naked for cameras, forced to play with
each other, looking up sadly, unsure what is going on.
‘Where is his real
office?’ I ask.
‘This is his real
office,’ MoonCalfCunt replies with a grin. She wears shrill make-up,
a pointy hair-do and a corset that is too tight. ‘This is who he
is. This is DeceitfulFuck.’
‘I’m going
to take him away,’ I say. ‘He cannot love you if he went after
me.’
‘You think he seduced
you because he wanted to leave me?’
‘If he loves you,
why does he fuck me?’
She rolls on the floor
with laughter.
‘Listen to yourself,
dearie,’ She is barely able to speak this is so funny. ‘He
fucks you but he loves me. Don’t you get it?’
But still … but
still …. but still ...
‘Why does he fuck
me?’ I insist.
‘Because you’re
the sort of bitch we’re looking for,’ Her long, white Cruella
de Vil index finger taps against my forehead. ’Don’t you get
it?’
I can hear myself utter
stupid words – love and honesty and …
’We use gals like
you to complete us,’ she cuts me short and black bugs crawl out
of her mouth. ‘You’re the release he needs to keep us together.’
She undoes her corset.
Her breasts are long, thin bags of crumpled paper.
‘He says my breasts
are not as good as yours,’ she whispers. ‘But my cunt is hot.’
She takes off her skirt
and shows me her pale hole; yellow stubble surrounding what looks like
the mouth of a dead rat, skinned alive, with a dry tongue hanging out.
‘He loves that cunt,’
she says and takes my hand and forces me to stroke it.
‘You can join us
anytime you want,’ she giggles and suddenly her face is gone and
only a naked snakehead is left – green eyes that don’t blink,
a split tongue flicking in and out. ‘Whenever you feel like making
a happy couple happier you can fuck us both.’
I run away, run through
more rooms of the hell that is his office until I find him hiding in the
toilet.
He stumbles out, small
and embarrassed and blushing. I only recognize him because he is wearing
my favourite blue shirt.
Suddenly, I have a gun
in my hand.
‘A new game,’
I say. ‘It’s called tell me who you are.’
He resorts to his usual
all purpose bullshit.
‘You are wonderful
and pretty and mysterious and talented and …’
‘Then why do you
treat me like some stupid bitch?’
‘I …’
He doesn’t continue, his eyes are glued to the gun.
‘It’s only
a game, right?’ There is a silly hope in his voice.
I aim for his kneecap
but miss.
Fear sucks all prettiness
out of his face. He stares at the bullet hole in the wall.
‘Now undress!’
I order.
He rips off his shirt,
explodes out of his trousers, almost falls over when he yanks off his
socks and boxers.
‘You never were
that fast when it was MY life that depended on it, bastard.’
‘I don’t like
it when you call me that.’
‘Shut up, bastard.’
I point to some clothes
on the floor.
‘Put those on.’
‘I never …’
‘Put them on you
fuck.’
He steps into the stockings
as eagerly as if they were filled with cow dung. The panties squeeze his
balls into pea-sized knots.
‘Now the make-up.’
He hesitates and I pull
the trigger again.
A mirror cracks into a
million pieces.
His fingers tremble. He
drops the blusher, breaks off the top of the lipstick and smears it all
over his pale face.
‘You’re too
clumsy,’ I say.
I aim carefully and finally
manage to hit his kneecap.
‘Fucking Jewish
Nazi bitch,’ he screams.
‘Why do you treat
me like shit?’ I ask.
He presses his hands against
his knee, soaked in blood. A black puddle forms around his feet. Slowly
he sinks down on the floor.
‘I have issues,’
he whimpers.
‘I gave you my heart
and you spat on it. You weakling! You coward!’
I aim at his head.
‘Yes,’ he
shouts. ‘You’re right. I’m a weakling and a coward.’
The gun clicks against
my index finger but I don’t shoot. The sound of honesty is too sweet.
‘Say it again.’
‘I’m a weakling
and a coward.’
‘Keep saying it.’
‘I’m scared.’
His voice is hoarse.
‘Keep saying it.’
‘I’m scared.
I’m Scared. I’M SCARED.’
I put the gun against
his head and bring my mouth close to his ears.
His hair is soft and his
cheeks are hot. He smells of melting honey.
‘I love you,’
I whisper.
Then I pull the trigger.
I watch the reflections
of his face in the broken pieces of mirror.
A flicker of emotion fills
his eyes as he slowly begins to understand what it means to get hurt.
I have one bullet left.
In our last embrace death
takes all our pains away.
