A New Toy
James Patrick Riser
A groan escaped her lips as she
thrust the fingers deep inside her. The vaginal juices flowed over
the hand in abundance. She spread her legs, scattering blood and
brain matter over the filthy bathroom floor. She continued the
masturbation.
Mary lifted the fingers to her mouth and licked
the cold digits clean of the crimson coating, then returned it to her
snatch. As the chilled flesh touched her warm labial lips, again, a
shiver shot up through her spine.
Terry Lars did not care that
Mary used her hand to get off since, unlike a few hours ago, her body
lay nude, cold, and dead. Mary didn't care either. Terry Lars was a
worthless cum-bucket, she thought.
She spread her legs wider;
and pushed Terry's hand in her up to the wrist. With her free hand,
Mary licked a skull fragment clean. An orgy of experiences rushed
through her body. Feelings of passion and excitement got her closer
to orgasm, while feelings of disgust encouraged bile to burn the back
of her throat.
The bathroom's lights flickered, throwing them
into darkness for seconds at a time. In one moment of light Mary
regarded Terry's bulging stomach, an unborn child, with a shrill
laugh.
She Dropped the piece of bone and proceeded to stroke
Terry's stomach. She giggled again. A white, button up dress shirt,
with one pocket above the breast, clung to her upper body. She
produced a hallow ground razor blade from the pocket and brought it
to Terry's stomach.

Samuel Lars finished his tenth
cigarette. An ashtray sat in front of him full of butts and a heart
in his chest was full of worry. He snuffed out the cigarette. Smoke
danced in the dimly lit room as a persistent ember from the butt
refused to die. Samuel's eyes followed the trailing smoke until they
settled on the telephone in front of him.
Terry didn't come home
the night before, last night or tonight, and he waited for her call.
He kept his twitching hand close to the receiver, not only waiting
for news of her, but also his child. The leather office chair
squeaked when Samuel leaned his head back and stared at the ceiling
scarcely seen in the darkness.
She said that she was going out
with a friend, someone she met at a club a while ago. "I told
her not to go," he whispered to himself, and then harshly rubbed
his eyes with the palms of his hands. "I told her not to go..."
***
Mary slowly finished the cut,
leaving Terry's stomach flayed out, exposing soft red intestines
inside. A bit of red stained Mary's hands, she licked it off her
fingers and then cleaned the knife in the same fashion.
She
stared at the blade while it reflected the flickering lights in her
green eyes. Everyone told her that her eyes were akin to a cat's, one
of the most erotic creatures in the animal kingdom. That fit her just
fine, she thought. The knife still had a red fingerprint near the
bottom of the blade, above the hilt. She brushed her hair aside and
brought the blade to her mouth and gently slid it down her throat
deep enough to allow her lips to close around it. She immediately
pulled it out and revealed the blade freshly coated in dark red.
Mary coughed violently and spat more out of her mouth, letting it
splatter on Terry's ice cold corpse.
Pain burned in her throat
and she smiled as she coughed. Using the blood from her mouth as a
natural lubricant, Mary viciously fingered herself and her cunt
became slick again.

The phone rang. Samuel bolted
forward almost fell out of his chair as he fumbled with trembling
hands to answer it.
"Hello?" He coughed into receiver.
"Samuel Lars?" replied a deep voice.
"Yeah,�
he gasped, �yeah, that's me.�
"This is Inspector
Sparrow, Mr. Lars."
"You got my message then?"
"Yes.�
He sighed, �yes I did Samuel, and there has been no leads on the
whereabouts of your girlfriend.�
Samuel choked back the sob that lingered as a bulge in his throat.
�Can you tell me about the last
time you saw her, Mr. Lars?"
"Yeah, of course," he
took a needed breath before beginning again, "She left three
nights ago, with some friend that she met at a club a while back, Her
name was Mary, or something like that."
"Did she give a
description of this friend?"
"No, all she said is that
her name is Mary and she met her at a club."
"Okay Mr.
Lars, I'll see what we can do; I'll call you if anything comes up,
okay?"
Silence.
"Okay?" He repeated, a bit
harsher.
"Yeah, okay." Samuel hung up, sighed deeply,
and buried his face in his hands, letting warm tears seep through his
fingers.
***
"Baby," Mary managed to choke out; blood rimmed her mouth and ran down her chin. She eyed Terry's flayed stomach hungrily, hungry for more blood, more pain, and more pleasure. She reached toward the corpse for satisfaction once again. "Baby."

Armand hated working the night
shift. He was tired of putting himself at the mercy of the night
walkers and the weirdos of Lake Park's streets. The loaded .45 under
the counter would not be enough to stop a whole group of them if they
decide to gang rape and murder him on their way to that night's big
rave. He cursed under his breath and looked under the counter.
A
high pitched chime filled the small gas station, indicating that a
customer entered.
So did a vile smell.
Armand looked up and found
himself face to face with a young black-haired, pale-skinned beauty.
Her small, black mini-skirt hugged her generous curves, and sweat
made her shirt transparent.
Armand figured out who's been in
the restroom for such a long time and discovered where the smell came
from. "Can I help you?" he asked, off guard, wondering if
she's the victim or the cause someone else's abuse.
"Phone,"
she choked out with a raspy voice. Blood accompanied her words and
speckled the counter with red dots.
"Yeah, yeah of course
lady,� he said and reached for the cordless phone, also sitting
under the counter �you okay?" he asked, not able to take his
eyes off her.
Mary�s only response was a bloodstained smile.
***
The phone rang again and Samuel
quickly seized it in a white knuckle grasp. "Hello?"
Fatigue infected his voice.
"Samuel...." Said a fuzzy
voice, a ghost from beyond the phone lines.
"Yeah, who's
this?"
"Terry is your girlfriend," it said,
teasingly, singing it like a nursery rhyme.
"Yeah."
His weariness instantly dissipated. "Yeah, she is, and what do
you know?"
"I know your her boyfriend, she was
screaming your name while I was fucking her."
"Who the
fuck is this?"
"You know me as Mary."
"Where's
Terry? Is she okay?" Samuel stammered and rose to his
feet.
"Okay? She was fantastic, her and your child were
great playthings."
"Playthings? What do you mean?"
Samuel yelled into the receiver, and clutched a handful of cigarette
butts in his shaking fist.
"What do you think I mean?�
she said plainly �they are with me."
"Where are
you?"
"Do you want me to tell you? I could send you her
nipples in the mail."
"Fuck you!� he screamed and
threw the balled up pile of butts into the darkness �where are
you?" Perspiration slicked his face and stung his eyes.
"Or
do you want her cunt?" She giggled, "I want you to see my
artwork, I'll tell you where your loved ones lie."

All was quiet at Jack's Discount Gas, no car or life in sight. Inside, Armand smiled with his throat ripped out. He lay over his own counter, with a loaded .45 rammed up his colon.
The motor of Samuel's speeding
truck and the squeaking of its breaks tore through the silence when
he pulled up and halted in front of the station's bathroom door. He
got out, hesitated, and stepped forward several moments later,
swinging the bathroom's door open with an open hand.
The rancid,
suffocating scent of feces and urine invaded his nostrils. Samuel
clapped a hand to his mouth as his eyes poured over the sight under
flickering bathroom lights.
Only Terry's torso seemed to be
intact, sitting on the toilet bowl. Barb wire dug into her soft, pale
flesh. The wire contained her entire torso and Terry's nipples soaked
through the thin paper of an envelope pinned to her shoulder,
creating two red rings around his name written in cursive.
The
lights revealed a red, pulpy pile of flesh in the sink; his child.
The water still ran over its small mutilated body. The water cascaded
over the sink's rim and splashed on the floor, creating a pale
crimson puddle around Samuel�s feet.
"I named him,"
said the same fuzzy voice from the phone, "its Henry." It
came from the night, behind him. "I feel your pain, I love your
pain."
Samuel found no words to combat hers.
"I get off on it. Now my dear, Sammy," she put her delicate hand on his shoulder, "I want to experience your pain."

�God, the smell is horrible!� Officer Clark blurted out after he kicked open the bathroom door.
Officer Jackson stood behind him, squinting against the early morning sun. �Get used to it,� he said, �and get some light in there.�
If the smell reflected what would met them inside, he did not want to see it, Jackson thought.
A large flashlight in Clark's hand clicked on and revealed the massacre. Two missing person cases became solved at the same time.
Samuel gazed at the police officers from death, his wrists nailed into the tile. Dark, almost black, blood soaked his white shirt from a slit throat.
The rest of the bathroom�s morbid decorations caused the officers to empty their stomachs onto hot concrete outside. They called for backup from the radios attached to their shoulders.
Samuel stared out the bathroom door, with eyes that almost mimicked life. Mary made her way down the highway, hitchhiking along the way, in search of a new toy.
