Then he carefully tied the bow, fussing with the ends until it sat the way he wished, slipping it over until it lay just above her left ear. ‘Almost...perfect,’ he said, as if speaking just to himself. He turned away, walking behind her and she heard the clink of metal against metal. Tina watched the corner of her chair, seeking out the dark form of his shadow, waiting for him to come back to her. What would he do next? She screamed as he walked around the chair, for in his hands was the knife,. I was headed home from my errands, when I got the call from Brandy. Stacy and another friend from school want to help me fuck you. she said. I asked who the other friend was and she said the girls name was Tammy. Is she trustworthy to keep our secret? Yes she said. I caught her eating the vollyball coaches cunt. Now she owes me. Your gonna like her too, she's got red hair and huge store bought tits. My hard on had returned as I rushed home to claim the teenage prize my Step daugther had scored. Two men came down dressed for the gym.? One held the elevator door while the otherjogged past with his garbage.? I heardthem whispering about me as they left.?There was an older woman after that, and then an old man.? Others, some commenting, some simply staringor leering, laughing and even one that whistled and complimented me on the wayI wiggled my butt while I worked.? On andon? I knew it was getting late when the UPS man rolled his handtruck past me.? He had stacks of boxes todeliver with. They wanted me to be rich, to be powerful to be a baron of industry and trade. I wanted to be a duke. Duke Ellington. I wanted to be a sultan. The Sultan of Swing. They wanted my name in the business news, I wanted it in the variety pages… or in lights. The guitar I payed for myself. Don’t ask what I had to sell to get the money. It wasn’t mine to begin with but wouldn’t be missed. The Rolex watch I traded for my guitar lesson might be missed but it was mine at least. For the next three years.
