<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"> An </span><span style="color: lime;">increase </span><span style="color: cyan;">of nearly 2000 new blog hits and an increase of over 1500 viewers on my 'less-than-present'</span> <span style="color: lime;">Authors Den</span><span style="color: cyan;"> page. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">Are you all reading my posts? Probably...err...hope so... </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">Areyou reading my excerpts ? Probably</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">Are you reading about me and what i stand for? Probably</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;">Are you investigating the re-tweets of my </span><span style="color: lime;">Twitter followers?</span> <span style="color: cyan;">Yup!</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"> So now that YOU the new visitor knows this-you should follow or comment on the material here; like Vonda did. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"> A fantastic venue has been</span><span style="background-color: black;"> </span><span style="background-color: black; color: lime;">the Linked-In. </span><span style="background-color: black; color: lime;"> </span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;">I appreciate all those that have asked me to add them to the</span><span style="color: lime;"> Good-Reads list and the Klout </span><span style="color: cyan;">situation.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;"> Facebook </span><span style="color: cyan;">is a new endeavor and I still need to learn how to use it effectively. I'll tell you...it';s addicting and you can spend hours on there doing....nonsense. I have weeded out all the crappy posts by folks that have nothing better to share than things that show a small vocabulary. I love everyone but not everyone likes to read profane language - even if its strategically placed in the 'prose' of the post. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: large;"> What bugs me...this is a rant... </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"> All the lookers and free-mongers don't translate into much needed sales of my e-books and soft cover versions> My passion and goal is to </span><span style="color: lime;">donate $10,000 </span><span style="color: lime;">this year to the researchers of Autism </span><span style="color: cyan;">and no-one seems to give a damn and doesn't dig deep enough to</span> <span style="color: lime;">spend $2.99 for an e-book or 9-12$ for the soft cover. You will most likely love as the Literary Cafe does; she can't wait to see what happens next. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;"> There has been loads of other positive feedback and would love if you bought and added fuel to the smoulder......maybe I should do a commercial that will go viral......then would you buy??? </span></span>DINO SIMONETTIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02942737180903528465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6375781648819910518.post-69742059246586355822016-08-31T19:52:00.003-06:002016-08-31T19:55:20.965-06:00<div>

<em><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Dino Simonetti hails from Winthrop Massachusetts, a small town east of Boston. Simonetti lived his first 28 years in this historical town and can recall stories told by Edward Roe Snow, a neighbor at the time. He also took a liking to Poe’s works as well. He credits much of his influence </span></em><em><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">to </span></em><em style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">King, Koontz and Barkers works. He stated some of the light, breezy prose is influenced by Janet Evanovich as well.</span></em><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I think its important for writers/publishers/marketers or anyone involved in the literary world to air their opinions, insights and vision. What I hope to achieve? To ventilate my mind and share some of the millions of ideas that run through my head on any given day. Also I’d love to tell everyone about my latest “brand-name platform”</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">How long have you been writing for?</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: "palatino linotype", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I have been writing all my life in one form or another most often in the fiction/fantasy genre. I am influenced heavily by the works of King, Barker, Koontz, Evanovich and most recently by the twilight books, Harry Potter and Tolkien. I was a comic book buff(neurotically) and would spend hours and hours reading them-all sorts. I entered the world of the fantasy as a way to escape the crappy life I grew up in-too much to write about here. I recall times when my father would flip out about all the comic reading so I was relegated to reading them in the hallway coat closet sitting on the vacuum cleaner hidden behind the coats using a spelunking light-yes I got caught once in a while. Dad said they would ruin my mind and I should be reading things about World War II or animals or other boring stuff that I now watch on television-who knew!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What would you say is the most difficult part of writing a book?</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: "palatino linotype", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Revisions-revisions-revisions! I have revised my first serious novel no less than 8 times-each time making it more exciting, more visceral and just outright great! Do I sound biased? I had released the book then retired it when I decided a title change would serve me better as far as marketing and visibility. Another challenge is keeping it all in the same voice, having smooth prose, and being consistent. I had researched some of the content in my book for about months calling on all sorts witches, magical folk, demon experts and Wicca. I also spent a great deal of time learning some Latin and Cherokee phrases. Wikipedia served me well too at times. I researched some old Chinese folklore and tattoo art. All the characters in the story are real people and in fact, the two major players lived upstairs from me in Salem Massachusetts. I had to use my imagination on one of the girls as she had a fight with her partner and returned to Louisiana.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What genre do you generally write?</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: "palatino linotype", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Genre? Well I’d call myself a horror thriller erotica sort of a writer because I can write all those styles well-and even mix them in one story.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Do you have a favorite au</span><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">thor and why?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "palatino linotype", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I don’t really have a favorite author any more. Evanovich tickles my funny bone with her Stephanie Plum series. If you like fun but danger in a story-she’s your gal.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The name of my book is Blood Majik. It was originally Ba’Gatz’s Succubus and Shapeshifters and Succubae but I thought from a marketing perspective it would sell better with the present title.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="font-family: "palatino linotype", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The great demon Ba’al, leader of 76 legions of demons from hell was trapped under a mountain and embedded in clay many years ago. He wants to escape and cast the world into darkness. Its taken many years for the coven named Ca'os (pronounced chaos) to locate him. The ‘elders’ of the coven are actually demons in disguise-they have an ulterior motive obviously. Well Ca'os is a demon that has the ability to make something from nothing; she came from the place called Chaos(in the beginning there was chaos and from her sprung night, day, and earth) She will help free him. She just wants him to be freed and thinks she’ll be able to calm him down so he wont destroy the world. The girl Hillarea I mentioned earlier has a special ability as she was borne from Cherokee ancestry. She’s recruited by the coven to be their new leader. Meanwhile, a few good witches figure out what’s going on and want to put a stop to it. A detective Simon has been called in to investigate all the strange deaths and disappearances. He gets sucked into the whirlwind of the covens activity. He’s skeptical when the good witches tell him they have it all figured out. Of course there’s a nosy reporter, lots of blood, lots of terrible deaths and a key ingredient is a special blood type called O-negative Bombay-quite rare. There’s many sub plots, much convolution, much treachery and lots of interesting characters-all people I know that I fashioned for the story.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Rebecca Scarberry with World Literary Café I give this one 5 stars</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: "palatino linotype", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">This is the first book I have read by this author and I’m very impressed. The story is set in the present tense and seems to be written from the point of view of a spectator at a movie recounting every scene in their own words. The author has a fascinating way of capturing the verbalization's and colloquialisms of young adults. Normally not one for profane language, I found the profanities to be strategically placed and oftentimes humorous. The dialogue resembles a screenplay and it seems like it could be handed to a set of characters to memorize their lines.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: "palatino linotype", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The portrayal of a mid-sized city feels authentic and the perfect backdrop for all the wild things that happen. Some of the scenes are so descriptive and extremely gory if you have a weak stomach this may not be for you. The character development and their inherent interactions is well written.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: "palatino linotype", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The author uses different fonts to portray the dialogues between man and demon. The cemetery scene feels real as does the appearance and disappearance of the demon and succubus. There is a fox, which flits in and out of the scenes and it’s significance left me wondering throughout. The cast of characters is quite large, about twenty in all, but he managed to keep them all clear for me to follow; truly an amazing feat.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: "palatino linotype", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">There are some explicit scenes but they’re written in such a way most would find them inoffensive. The writer describes lesbian relationships well and the characters seem to blend with the rest of the cast; all but one.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: "palatino linotype", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The beginning chapters seem almost Pulp-like and the author did a fine job of helping me visualize how everything will overlap. The book has plenty of ups and downs but I was completely engaged. The author did a good job of capturing my interest and made me want to read on to see what happens next.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: "palatino linotype", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The author introduces random occurrences, which left me wondering throughout my read if I would find out what they meant; he must have future plans for them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I started on Labor Day 2008 and finished the draft for what will be books 1 and 2 by Halloween 2009. It went through tons of editing and as I said, was released a few times. I pulled it late 2011. I released the new version in 2012 then 2013, then 2014 then just now in 2016. It can be found on Amazon by title or under my name. It's available as a Kindle and physical copy. I prefer folks go to my personal Createspace web site as I plan to take 50% of the royalties to donate to Autism research-my son is afflicted with this poorly understood disorder. Amazon pays dirt for royalties so I chose the personal web page.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="font-family: "palatino linotype", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Well since I’m still an aspiring author I can’t really comment save for telling them don’t give up. Case in point-it took me 23 yrs to finally get to it and its gone from a short story based on a gross joke I shared with an anesthesiologist back in 1987 to what will end up being a series of about 3000+ pages under the series name "Of Witches and Demons" </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Do you use social media to promote your book, if yes then which social networks do you like the most?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I use <a href="http://www.twitter.com/BY_NOBLE_HANDS" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and of late FaceBook; only time will tell how well they pan out!</span><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"> I have a time line there with all sorts of recent activities. I will use my blog </span><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">and the other things associated with my links; there's also the book store dinosbookstore.com. You can write me at dino@dinosbookstore.com. You can also Google me and find out all sorts of stuff on me; just ignore the picture of the scary looking bald guy that looks like an ax murderer-I assure you-that ain’t me.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">How did you go about coming up with the cover for your book?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "palatino linotype", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I designed and will continue to design my own covers and illustrations. Not only do I write novels, poetry, play music and draw; I have an eye for art. In fact I have mentioned this service to many writers that I will be happy to do the covers and would probably do the first one for very little money to see if the author and I hit it off conceptually</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Do you have a day job (if so, what do you do?) or do you write full-time?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "palatino linotype", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">DO I HAVE A DAY JOB? I love this question! Yes of course-unless I sell books I cannot expect to survive on paltry sales. I am currently a licensed massage and alignment therapist. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I attended Massage Therapy School and graduated in December 2012 with high honors. The choice was prompted by the fact I can set my own schedule and write when I’m not providing wellness to people.</span></div>

<span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: black;">ABOUT BLOOD MAJIK: </span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan;"> <span style="background-color: black;"> I'll self criticize a moment and say yes it's a little slow at times and a bit Pulp-ish. It all makes sense quickly and avid readers will love the approach. </span></span><span style="background-color: black;"> <span style="color: cyan;"> I may be an unknown yet if you have the courage to read the book, you will tell everyone about it-I'll can almost guarantee it if you like the genre. What we're most likely looking at here is a "cult" following. I know, you probably cringe at the word but if you are the least bit religious and attend a Sunday service-you're almost a cultist-Frank Zappa had a cult following too; for those musically astute to remember him. Here's the thing, if I sell 10,000 copies of the book, I reach my goal. A good few months can sell 2,000 copies. Why stop there? keep it going-I know there are more than 10,000 readers out there-last count was about 3 billion world-wide. The current format of the book makes it compatible with every device with the click of the mouse. Does this sound all sales-pitchy and cheesy? well it's not-I'm trying to wake up your sleeping brain cells that separate you from large granite stones!! Don't be one of those! Become alive-get some goose-bumps; let some hormone-driven activity(south of the border) rule your consciousness, love and hate the characters-it's all good! Don't just take my word for it, others have read the draft versions and loved it! Well-hope this woke a few of you up</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">thanks for reading</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Bill pulls up in front of his house and gets out of the truck. While heading for the mailbox, he...</span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">walks past the front of the vehicle and notices there is damage on the corner of the bumper; streaks of yellow paint.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Aww shit! Someone friggin’ hit me, damn it, I don’t have time for this BS!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">He kneels for a closer look and sees the damage is minor on the acrylic shell of the bumper. The paint flecks off as he scratches at it with his fingernail.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">“Well at least it comes off. A little compound will take the rest of it off I guess. It’s too dark out now though; I’ll do it tomorrow. What I could go for right now is a nice cold brewski! Budwizer, I hear ya callin’ my name!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">He walks into the house, a bit happier, knowing there won’t be any police report and insurance company phone calls. He tosses the mail on the kitchen table, walks to the fridge and pulls out a cold beer. The typical gas release sound is made as the top opens. He takes a long pull on the frosty cold contents,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Ahhhh! That hits the fu-king spot!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">He roots around in the fridge for something to eat. Sour pickles, cold mushroom pizza and two hard-boiled eggs are all that are left.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">“Looks like Bill boy needs some food; time to call mom!”</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Bill takes the shell off one of the eggs, pops it in his mouth, and as he chews, he spits a tiny piece of shell towards the barrel, it misses. He opens the pickle jar and extracts the largest spear he can find and eats it right after the egg. He tears a piece of pizza off one of the slices and eats, washing it down with some more beer. He sets himself up a plateful with the rest of the food, after determining the combination is safe for human consumption. He grabs another beer and kicks the refrigerator door closed. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Bill walks into the den and slides a stool over with his foot to set the food down, then turns on the television. He scrolls through the channels stopping a few moments on some that grab his extensive attention span, for more than a few seconds. He finally chooses a popular weekly sitcom and settles back with the food, beer and remote. For a split second, he dwells on the feeling of how lucky he is for not having to listen to anyone. He can eat and dress anyway he wants; he can even leave the door open when he uses the John. Bill is the master of his own reality. He looks at his watch and realizes it’s getting late, reaches for the cell phone to make a <i>good night mommy</i> call and finds there is a text message that was missed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Bill is totally shocked <i>and</i> surprised at the content of the message. He mistily looks off into the distance, wondering who would send a message like this to him. His immediate reaction, almost too predictable.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">He thinks hard, has he pissed anyone off lately? Bill isn’t the most personable at the gym outside his little clique of equally brilliant training partners. He falls back against the sofa pad and takes another long pull on his second beer. He slides down into the sofa and snaps shut the bi- fold cell phone, forgetting to call his mother. He sits for a few minutes staring through the television still pondering the message. A situation with a boisterously noisy character from the television program grabs his attention; he laughs aloud,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"> --presses send and waits for the display to clear. He turns his attention back to the television; Bill opens his third beer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">During a commercial, he goes to the refrigerator, takes three more beers out, tosses the cardboard carrier into the air and kicks it in the direction of the barrel. It lands in the center of the receptacle, on target.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Score! And the crowd goes wild…<i>Bill the Kid</i> wins the game for the Witches and the season is over…AHHH, AHHHH, AHHHH! They hoist him into the air! They chant Billy, Billy, Billy!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Okay, seriously now Bill, get a grip. So, he walks back to the sofa, plops down and continues to drink his beer. He guzzles the rest of beer number three, shoots beer number four and lets out a ten-second belch; he laughs to the empty room. Halfway into his fifth beer he dozes off, eventually falling asleep. Bill is sleeping soundly, no snoring, just the gentle rise and fall of his chest as he breathes in and out.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">There is a gentle rustle of grass and leaf under foot just outside the open window. A set of eyes cloaked by darkness, peer into the room. The enlarged pupils obscure their color, we <i>do</i> know they belong to a female; her delicious fragrance wafts into the room. Bill stirs for but a second unconsciously senses the scent in the air change; he smiles. Bill is clearly--very--much--asleep. The eyes back away, out of view. A small shiny object is placed against the screen.<i>“Thhhhhhfummmmp”</i> is the sound the broad-tipped arrow makes, as its driven by one of the most powerful compound bows on the market, a bow no ordinary girl could ever handle unless she were--never mind; you’ll see why. The bow boasts a one-hundred and twenty-five-pound-pull, more than enough for the job at hand; somehow the word <i>overkill</i> comes to mind. The arrow makes quick work of the screen as it enters the room, finding its target, Bill’s carotid; dead center. It travels across the empty expanse of throat and exits the other side. Blood spurts like a geyser from the entry wound. Bill bolts upright, eyes bulging, drunkenly grabbing for the arrows shaft.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">An insouciant gurgled grunt issues weakly through the blood in his throat. Blood pours from his neck and alternately dribbles or gushes from his mouth when he tries to speak.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">As Bill stands, he is immediately knocked back by a kick; a kick delivered by a sneaker-clad person; a person with an equally delicious fragrance, another female I’d gather. The air whistles gently as the business end of a garden shovel smashes against his head. It momentarily stuns him; stuns him enough to receive the second swing of the garden utensil; this time with the tools nearly knife-sharp edge. The second swing is purposefully aimed at a particular spot. The next swing is driven with more force; she is tired of waiting for it’s intended outcome. His skull cracks open halfway between his eye and ear. Brain matter continues to ooze from the skull fissure following the initial gush of cerebral matter. Bill is able to focus for but a moment, just long enough for an immediate recognition. This recognition forces a facial expression of total confusion. Bill knows the female archer, the same female, that moments ago, smelled so delicious outside the window.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">She holds the deadly weapon with arrow perched; ready to fire. She makes an instantaneous decision for her next shot, and draws back on the bowstring as far as it will go. Bill puts his hands up to cover his face. The arrow will deliver all the force the bow can generate. The archer let’s fly the second razor sharp arrow directly at Bill’s hands. The arrow penetrates both hands, enters his agape mouth and passes through the open throat, taking large chunks of tissue along with it. The arrow exits the back of his neck, grazing his spinal column; posting whatever sinew and blood it carries into the sofa fabric behind; the resultant splatter is random and widespread. The impact of the newest arrow causes more blood to eject from his pierced carotid. Bill, seconds from death, grunts a just barely intelligible,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Jessica is seemingly not satisfied with his wounds; she fires another arrow into his stomach, again at point blank range. She rips the arrow from its site, taking stomach and intestinal spillage with it. She fires the same arrow into his larynx, and again yanks the arrow from his throat, pulling skin and muscle with it. She drops the bow and with both hands on the shaft of the arrow, plunges it repeatedly in and out of Bill’s stomach as if wanting to make sure he is dead; by now, he has been dead for at least half a minute. Anne reaches for Jessica’s arm,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“He’s dead hun’, you can stop now! When I’m done here, there won’t be any doubt he’s dead!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">They kneel on either side of his body; Jessica rolls his eyelid open,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“You fucking worthless sack of shit!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">She spits into his open eye then slaps his lifeless face. Anne shakes her head in wonder.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Jessica nods quickly; then looks down to watch Anne, gleaming, razor sharp athame in hand, slice his shirt open. With great deftness, she slices into the chest wall; blood gently sprays up onto their faces, hair, and clothing. She digs through the sinew and cartilage in search of his sternum. With each gouge, splatters of blood are thrown onto the girls.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne stands over Bill’s, body, musing in satisfaction with her prep-work. Jessica whispers,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne stands, takes a half step backwards and thrusts a solid kick; her foot connects with the exposed ribs. A deep, <i>CRAAACKKK</i> sound issues from within the ribcage cavity. Blood splatters across Anne’s legs and reaches Jessica’s arms and head; large droplets run down her face and down her back.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne kneels next to the body and with animalistic fervor, pulls the broken ribs apart to expose the intended organ, his heart. She takes the athame in hand and with callousness, chops and gouges at the attached blood vessels impatiently. She rips the now flaccid organ from Bill’s body cavity. Whatever blood does remain, runs from the excisions, down her arm onto the floor below.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Silence, Anne’s eyes flit side to side, searching her friends expression. Jess says,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"> Okay, let’s be off!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne laughs. The girls leave Bill’s flat and get into his truck, Anne at the wheel. The dark tinted glass all but obscures their identities, perfect for a clandestine departure. The engine issues a low rumble as it starts; she makes a U-turn in the street and drives away at a quick pace, typical of how Bill would drive; therefore, raising no suspicion.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Outside in the yard, obscured by darkness, the fox sits, sniffing the air. It senses the girls are gone; their scent has all but dissipated. It runs and leaps for the broken screen, tearing through easily. It’s front paws touch down on the pool of blood; it commences its debasement by lapping at the puddle with the thirst of an animal at a stream on a hot day. It circles the sullied body as if deciding what to devour first. The fox sticks its snout inside Bill’s savagely created grotto of ribs. It expurgates the liver to gnash and lap insouciantly at the bloody contents of the acquiescent organ. The fox paws and tugs with its maw at the intestines to free them from its corporal repository. As it drags out the twenty-plus foot-long digestive tract, its many convoluted sections rip and tear on the splintered rib bones. Chunks of undigested pizza, pickles and hardboiled egg splatter on the floor in a growing puddle of pungent slop. The fox eats discriminately around the spoils knowing instinctively, such contents are better left for forensic inspection or rodents.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">When the fox mauls at the kidneys, its paw inadvertently touches down and punctures the bladder. The contents spew upward, creating an objectionable spray laced with fermented victual. The fox leaps in retreat; it growls and bares its teeth in supposed anger. It leaves the jagged fissure with its more desirable contents and circles the head. It paws and gnaws at the eyes until their inherent shape collapses like broken egg. It laps hungrily at the contents of its ocular bounty; a low growl of pleasure accompanies his defilement. Seemingly satisfied, it leaps in exit through the very opening it arrived through.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">The girls drive the two and a half miles to the police station in silence. The public entryway to the police station is shaped like a semi circle. Anne navigates the truck up the ramp towards the entrance and as she passes the doorway, Jessica tosses the heart out the window onto the sidewalk. As the bag slides toward the door, it splits open. The near bloodless heart leaves a red trail; the truck rumbles off into the night. As the girls drive towards their final destination, Jessica creates a text message reading:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">She pushes send, a few moments later, the cell phone in Bill’s apartment buzzes; message received. She next places a call to the police station.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Witch City Police Department, Sergeant Dinabolo speaking. This call is being recorded. Is there an emergency?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">In an obviously masked husky sounding voice, Jessica responds. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Officer Dinabolo, there is a human heart from a now dead man, inside a plastic bag on the station’s doorstep. You can find the rest of him at 4318 Mishit Parkway, apartment one. His name is Bill; enjoy the scenery; have a good night sir….”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Who is this? Is this a practical joke, what are you talking about?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Sir, this is no joke, good night!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">The connection is broken; they look at each other for a moment in silence, in wordless agreement they have completed their grisly task; a task set upon them by a desperate instigator. Jessica takes the disposable phone, wipes it down and hurls it at the ground as hard as she can while they drive; it is pretty much obliterated from the impact. Moments later a passing car crushes it to an indistinguishable mass.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Apparently, Officer Dinabolo investigated the basis of the call. Within minutes, the rumor of sirens from several municipal authorities can be heard approaching the vicinity of Bill Kidd’s apartment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne cuts the motor of Bill’s truck at the crest of a small hill leading to Forest River Park. All that can be heard is the crunching of gravel and twig as the vehicle rolls unimpeded down the entrance road to its final destination, the water’s edge. There is a short embankment just prior to the water where she stops the vehicle. Ann sops a towel in the salty harbor waters and methodically wipes down the finger printable areas with briny water to obliterate any possible lifting of latent prints. Jessica jumps out and walks around to where Anne is completing her commission. She whispers,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne releases the emergency brake and the truck lumbers slowly down the few feet to the waters of Salem Inner Harbor. The truck enters nearly without sound and rolls slowly out further and further from shore until coming to a halt in soft mud, it will sink slowly in the mud; right up to the open windows. Anne whispers to Jessica,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<i><span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Okay baby-J, we’ll stay on the beach until we get to Sumner; any blood on our shoes will wear off in the sand.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Jessica nods, the girls jump down onto the sand, making their way along the water’s edge under shadow of the sea wall. After traversing the equivalent of several street blocks, they climb over the wall and enter onto Sumner Street as planned.</span></span></div>

The fingertips trace to the underside of the flank and follow the contours of the outer hip, Anne shudders. Jess continues running her fingertips up the outer abs and traces the outside of her breasts. Jess runs one fingertip halfway across the clavicle, then up Anne’s neck and across her parted lips; all the while, Anne is shaking noticeably. With open hands, Jess pulls Anne’s face forward and gives her a feather gentle kiss. Anne whispers,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"> She doesn’t finish her sentence; instead she places her hands gently on either side of Jessica’s face. Anne looms in tentatively; Jess can feel Anne’s warm breath against her mouth; Jess leans towards the warmth. Their lips touch gently at first, pause for but a millisecond, as if expecting resistance. Their coincident glassy eyes flutter; broadcasting desire, eyes speaking to the others mind. These <i>friends</i> are going to trade a total giving, a totality of submission; they will give all there is to offer, all there is to receive. The softness of their lips, the warmth of their breath upon each other; it draws them, one to the other, like magnets draw metal. Their lips glide slowly, sensuously, across the others; almost as if they were buttered. Jess seems to melt into Anne as they gently explore the warmth and softness of one another’s lips. Jessica draws on Anne’s tongue, gently at first; their tongues glide effortlessly over the others, almost as if painting with a brush. Their tongues undulate slowly, like snakes, as if trying to wind around the others. There is no break in their kiss; Jess presents her tongue, leaving it to be sucked on; like one would suck on a popsicle. Jess quivers, juts her pelvis forward, as if being controlled by Anne’s suckling. Jess places her arms flaccidly around Anne’s waist, gently drawing their pelvises together; she gyrates slowly in tempo with Anne’s tongue sucking. Anne releases Jessica’s tongue, their eyes open, Anne stares deeply into her soon-to-be-lovers eyes, as if searching, searching, looking for something missing. Looking for the soul? Instead, finding the heart. The corners of Anne’s lips twitch into a smile; she closes her eyes and moves towards the warm breath of Jessica’s parted lips.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">While gently grinding their hips together; the softness of their chests rub together, tip against engorged tip; soft skin pressing against soft skin. Jessica takes one in her hand and gently, but teasingly kneads it; Anne moans while exhaling into her newfound lovers mouth. Their ragged breaths exchange, one open mouth into the other, all the while, trying to keep their lips from parting. Jess can’t wait, she breaks the kiss, slowly descends to Anne’s tips, gently drawing on one, then the other, all the while staring into her partners fluttering eyes. Hands gently and slowly explore, Anne pulls Jess away almost savagely by the hair. She forces her tongue into Jessica’s mouth, thirstily seeking her tongue to intertwine slowly, yet incessantly. The intensity increases, Anne drops to one knee to separate Jessica’s legs with her head. Jess replies to Anne’s invasion by gently, but purposefully, straddling her face. She probes and caresses Jessica’s most sensitive area, pulling Anne’s head up so her face can penetrate deeper; she gyrates faster and faster across Anne’s face until she reaches that expected sensation. She looks up at the panting Jess. Anne gently kisses the lips she so savagely penetrated seconds ago, before standing to embrace her tightly. Anne removes the two fingers from inside herself and runs them across Jessica’s lips; they lap languorously at the shared bounty. They intertwine and caress the coincident tongue; drinking each other in, as each hitched breath is exchanged. The space around them falls away, their world is right before them; in each other’s arms, in each other’s embrace, in each other’s kiss. Nothing else matters, except how their lips relate; they hold onto each other tightly, as if afraid, almost as if afraid the other will melt away in a wisp, away in a wisp of smoke, as if this is all a dream.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">They step out of the shower, exchanging lingering and promise-filled kisses; Jess runs her fingers through Anne’s wet hair, leaving dollops of water on the floor behind. </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">Anne backs Jess into the bedroom; next to the bed Anne pushes Jess down. Jess scoots to the center of the mattress, leaving a trail of wetness from her still wet hair and body. Anne feverishly dives onto her in a straddle, cooled droplets of water running out of her hair onto Jess; each droplet causing further excitation and anticipation of what’s to follow. She pulls Anne down until her soft chest is upon her now newly committed to partners lips. Jess massages the tips between her lips, gently at first, then more ardently; they moan quietly, in unison.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Jess gently, yet firmly, pushes Anne over to the side, nuzzling gently with her lip on the way down to the pelvis. Out of reflex, Anne parts her thighs in anticipation for the arrival of Jessie’s head; making her completely accessible with but a gentle nudge. Jess, gently at first, uses her lips to expose Anne’s soft insides; Anne raises her hips slowly towards Jessica’s face. Jess answers with an aggressive swipe of the tongue, forcing the folds apart; exposing more of Anne’s inner softness. Anne hips gyrate rhythmically; she pulls Jessica’s face deeper into her folds.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne can’t lie back and only be a recipient of the bliss being bestowed; she needs to reciprocate. She grabs Jessie’s leg and pulls it over her head. The soft folds begin spreading slowly, Anne can’t wait, she plunges her face deep into her lovers folds, instinctively knowing exactly where to touch down; almost as if she had done this before. They mouth each other’s insides, lips massaging and teasing the pulsing and expectant protuberances, being ever so gentle, both wanting to prolong the arrival of the all-encompassing release; each time, the climax is more intense than the previous. It takes all their concentration to stay focused when they are continually reaching climax after climax, release after quivering release; gyrating and bucking feverishly across their lovers face each time they near one. They appear to be tiring, yet, they seem to find the energy to press on, to push through the threshold of momentary muscular failure, as if afraid, afraid the sensations will never return if stopped. The rumor of incessant moaning and whispers of encouragement fill the breadth of Jessica’s bedroom; sounding almost as if a populace were in the throes of orgy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne somehow finds the energy to take advantage of having her hands free, to gently, yet liberally, run them all across Jessie’s soft chest; kneading and tugging carefully. Frequently she would grab her lovers buttocks and plunge her face as deeply inside as possible, gyrating her face like a mad woman, making Jess drop her hips lower so Anne doesn’t have to reach for her. The continual sound, like that of watermelon being eaten, is accompanied by animalistic throaty sounds of bliss as they penetrate deeper into the others volcanically eruptible erogenous. Anne laps like a dehydrated animal, at what copiously flows from inside her lover. Small rivulets run through the hair and down the sides of Anne’s face as she rubs her face all about Jessica’s inners. Jess rapidly rubs her nose, lips and chin, from side to side, top to bottom, across Anne’s pinked and heady inners. In short order, Jess brings her to another intense, all-encompassing climax.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">For a time, several fingers are introduced into each other, for more uninterrupted, multiples. They treat each other like queens, for nearly the overnight, into the early dawn hour. They switch, giver for taker, top for bottom, hands for face; always smearing the others inner offerings. Always lapping at each other, like puppies, not wanting to miss bit, each signifying an iota of deeper bonding. Gentle kisses, slow and unhurried, exchange deep tenderness; Harried, yet gentle, biting and sucking on each other, exchanging torrid expressions of desire. These new lovers, these new partners; Anne and Jessica, never knew, all these years, the unrequited love they keened, was in the other.</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">After a time, they stop to face each other,</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"> faces just inches apart. They listen to the other breathe; exchanging breaths, drawing in the essence of the other’s life, sharing with the other; savoring the bouquet of the others efforts to bring forth endless releases. Anne runs her fingers through Jessica’s dampened hair, inhaling her musk left there. She reaches for Jessica’s face in the darkness and finds it, she traces the outline of her lovers lips, Jess kisses her fingertip. She whispers,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i><u><b><span style="color: lime;">ABOUT THE AUTHOR: <a name='more'></a></span></b></u></i></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dino Simonetti hails from Winthrop Massachusetts, a small town east of Boston. Simonetti lived his first 28 years in this historical town and can recall stories told by......</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Edward Roe Snow, a neighbor at the time. He also took a liking to Poe's works as well. He credits much of his influence to King, Koontz and Barkers works. He stated some of the light, breezy prose is influenced by Janet Evanovich as well.</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mr. Simonetti has a sense of humor that lends to his charismatic demeanor and you will find him quite easy to talk to. One thing I did notice is he listens intently and takes a great interest in you and he will ask you questions about you and not speak of himself unless asked. He is always quick with a joke and quite witty.</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mr. Simonetti stated he was a pharmacist for over twenty-years and has just recently embarked on a career in massage therapy. He is a father to four-children, all fully grown and living in Salem MA. He himself resides in Utah for the time being.</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><u><b><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What made you decide to write this book?</span></b></u></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have been writing all my life in one form or another; most often in the fiction/fantasy genre. I’d call myself a horror thriller erotica sort of a writer because I can write all those styles well-and even mix them in one story.</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I started writing on Labor Day 2008 and finished the draft for what will be books 1 and 2 by Halloween 2009. It went through tons of editing and as I said, was released a few times from 2010 until 2011. I pulled it late 2011. I released the new version January 1 2012 in physical copy. It can be found on Amazon by title or under my name. I prefer folks go to my personal Createspace web site as I plan to take 50% of the royalties to donate to Autism research-my son is afflicted with this poorly understood disorder. Amazon pays dirt for royalties so I chose the personal web page.</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I don’t really have a favorite author any more. Evanovich tickles my funny bone with her Stephanie Plum series. If you like fun but danger in a story-she’s your gal.</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am influenced heavily by the works of King, Barker, Koontz, and most recently by the twilight books, Harry Potter and Tolkien. I'm a comic book buff(neurotically) and would spend hours and hours reading them-all sorts. I entered the world of the fantasy as a way to escape the crappy life I grew up in-too much to write about here. I recall times when my father would flip out about all the comic reading so I was relegated to reading them in the hallway coat closet sitting on the vacuum cleaner hidden behind the coats using a spelunking light-yes I got caught once in a while. Dad said they would ruin my mind and I should be reading things about World War II or animals or other boring stuff that I now watch on television-who knew!</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I think its important for writers/publishers/marketers or anyone involved in the literary world to air their opinions, insights and vision. I hope to ventilate my mind and share some of the millions of ideas that run through my head on any given day</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The most difficult part of writing a book to me is revisions-revisions-revisions and did I mention revisions! I have revised no less than 5 times-each time making it more exciting, more visceral and just outright great! Do I sound biased?</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Another challenge is keeping it all in the same voice, having smooth prose, and being consistent.</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I researched some of the content in my book calling on all the witches, magical folk, demon experts and Wiccans. i know I also spent a great deal of time learning some Latin and Cherokee phrases. Wikipedia served me well too at times. I researched some old Chinese folklore and tattoo art. All the characters in the story are real people and in fact, the two major players lived upstairs from me in Salem Massachusetts. I had to use my imagination on one of the girls as she had a fight with her partner and returned to Louisiana.</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I released the book then retired it when I decided a title change would serve me better. The name of my book, book -1 in a series, is called Shape-shifters and Succubae. It was originally Ba’Gatz’s Succubus but I thought from a marketing perspective it would sell better with the present title.</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><u><b><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What is the genre?</span></b></u></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well I’d call myself a horror thriller erotica sort of a writer because I can write all those styles well-and even mix them in one story.</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><u><b><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Did it start as a hobby or a passion – planned or unplanned?</span></b></u></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To me this is a passion and i want it to be my full time job ASAP. the planning-well i had planned for a LONG time to write it and it wasn't until i was separated that i was in the right 'space' to get it done.</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><u><b><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Would you have changed anything about your story?</span></b></u></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The story is written just as its supposed to be-it's in a state of evolution; it has a plan and a course but there's so mant paths i can take it and it won't be until i reach that point will i decide where to steer it. .</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What i learned along the way-the book can consume you, strain relationships and you just have to immerse your self into the task or it won't get done i had lots of encouragement by friends(mostly ladies because they love what I'm doing and loved when i read to them in bed .</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><u><b><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Who would you consider to be your hero?</span></b></u></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If your question is about a fictitious hero-its Wolverine. in real life-heck I can't think of one right off hand.</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><u><b><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What would you tell other aspiring authors?</span></b></u></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well since I’m still an aspiring author I can’t really comment save for telling them don’t give up. Case in point-it took me 23 yrs to finally get to it and its gone from a short story based on a gross joke I shared with an anesthesiologist back in 1987 to what will end up being a series of about 3000+ pages under the series name of The Witches and Demons of Clay Mountain</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><u><b><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Did you find the journey to be a difficult one?</span></b></u></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The journey is difficult yes; if i were able to just write it wouldn't be as difficult. life happens.</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><u><b><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What was the happiest point; when the manuscript was completed or when the book was put in print?</span></b></u></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The happiest point is when it's in print because the manuscript is always done in my mind. the gratification comes when i see the book.</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><u><b><span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A synopsis of the books:</span></b></u></span></span></h3>

He wants to escape and cast the world into darkness. Its taken many years for the coven named CAOS (pronounced chaos) to locate him. The ‘elders’ of the coven are actually demons in disguise-they have an ulterior motive obviously. Well CAOS is a demon that has the ability to make something from nothing and will attempt to help free him. She just wants him to be freed and thinks she’ll be able to calm him down so he wont destroy the world. The girl Hillarea I mentioned earlier has a special ability as she was borne from Cherokee ancestry. She’s recruited by the coven to be their new leader. Mean while, a few good witches figure out what’s going on and want to put a stop to it. A detective Simon has been called in to investigate all the strange deaths and disappearances. He gets sucked into the whirlwind of the covens activity. He’s skeptical when the good witches tell him they have it all figured out. Of course there’s a nosy reporter, lots of blood, lots of terrible deaths and a key ingredient is a special blood type called O-negative Bombay-quite rare. There’s many sub plots, much convolution, much treachery and lots of interesting characters-all people I know that I fashioned for the story. </span><span style="background-color: black; color: lime;

<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Dino Simonetti hails from Winthrop Massachusetts, a small town east of Boston. Simonetti lived his first 28 years in this historical town and can recall stories told by Edward Roe Snow, a neighbor at the time. He also took a liking to Poe’s works as well. He credits much of his influence</span></em></div>
<em><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">to </span></em><em style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">King, Koontz and Barkers works. He stated some of the light, breezy prose is influenced by Janet Evanovich as well.</span></em><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Why are you taking part in the author blog challenge and what do you hope to achieve?</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I’m taking part in this blog challenge because I like a good challenge-ha, ha, ha. But seriously, I think its important for writers/publishers/marketers or anyone involved in the literary world to air their opinions, insights and vision. What I hope to achieve? To ventilate my mind and share some of the millions of ideas that run through my head on any given day. Also I’d love to tell everyone about my latest “brand-name platform”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">How long have you been writing for?</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I have been writing all my life in one form or another most often in the fiction/fantasy genre. I am influenced heavily by the works of King, Barker, Koontz, Evanovich and most recently by the twilight books, Harry Potter and Tolkien. I was a comic book buff(neurotically) and would spend hours and hours reading them-all sorts. I entered the world of the fantasy as a way to escape the crappy life I grew up in-too much to write about here. I recall times when my father would flip out about all the comic reading so I was relegated to reading them in the hallway coat closet sitting on the vacuum cleaner hidden behind the coats using a spelunking light-yes I got caught once in a while. Dad said they would ruin my mind and I should be reading things about World War II or animals or other boring stuff that I now watch on television-who knew!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">What would you say is the most difficult part of writing a book?</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Revisions-revisions-revisions! I have revised my first serious novel no less than 5 times-each time making it more exciting, more visceral and just outright great! Do I sound biased? I had released the book then retired it when I decided a title change would serve me better as far as marketing and visibility. Another challenge is keeping it all in the same voice,, having smooth prose, and being consistent. I had researched some of the content in my book for about a month calling on all the witches, magical folk, demon experts and Wiccans. I also spent a great deal of time learning some Latin and Cherokee phrases. Wikipedia served me well too at times. I researched some old Chinese folklore and tattoo art. All the characters in the story are real people and in fact, the two major players lived upstairs from me in Salem Massachusetts. I had to use my imagination on one of the girls as she had a fight with her partner and returned to Louisiana.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">What genre do you generally write?</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Genre? Well I’d call myself a horror thriller erotica sort of a writer because I can write all those styles well-and even mix them in one story.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Do you have a favorite author and why?</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I don’t really have a favorite author any more. Evanovich tickles my funny bone with her Stephanie Plum series. If you like fun but danger in a story-she’s your gal.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The name of my book, book 1 in a series, is called Shape-shifters and Succubae. It was originally Ba’Gatz’s Succubus but I thought from a marketing perspective it would sell better with the present title.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The great demon Ba’al, leader of 76 legions of demons from hell was trapped under a mountain and imbedded in clay many years ago. He wants to escape and cast the world into darkness. Its taken many years for the coven named CAOS (pronounced chaos) to locate him. The ‘elders’ of the coven are actually demons in disguise-they have an ulterior motive obviously. Well CAOS is a demon that has the ability to make something from nothing and will attempt to help free him. She just wants him to be freed and thinks she’ll be able to calm him down so he wont destroy the world. The girl Hillarea I mentioned earlier has a special ability as she was borne from Cherokee ancestry. She’s recruited by the coven to be their new leader. Mean while, a few good witches figure out what’s going on and want to put a stop to it. A detective Simon has been called in to investigate all the strange deaths and disappearances. He gets sucked into the whirlwind of the covens activity. He’s skeptical when the good witches tell him they have it all figured out. Of course there’s a nosy reporter, lots of blood, lots of terrible deaths and a key ingredient is a special blood type called O-negative Bombay-quite rare. There’s many sub plots, much convolution, much treachery and lots of interesting characters-all people I know that I fashioned for the story.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Has your book been published and how did you go about this?</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I’m going to refer you to the blog entry on publishing- and a 5* review</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><a href="http://www.bookbuzzr.com/blog/book-marketing/my-views-on-self-publishing-dino-simonetti/" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">MY VIEWS ON SELF-PUBLISHING</span></a></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Rebecca Scarberry with World Literary Café I give this one 5 stars</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">This is the first book I have read by this author and I’m very impressed. The story is set in the present tense and seems to be written from the point of view of a spectator at a movie recounting every scene in their own words. The author has a fascinating way of capturing the verbalizations and colloquialisms of young adults. Normally not one for profane language, I found the profanities to be strategically placed and oftentimes humorous. The dialogue resembles a screenplay and it seems like it could be handed to a set of characters to memorize their lines.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The portrayal of a mid-sized city feels authentic and the perfect backdrop for all the wild things that happen. Some of the scenes are so descriptive and extremely gory if you have a weak stomach this may not be for you. The character development and their inherent interactions is well written.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The author uses different fonts to portray the dialogues between man and demon. The cemetery scene feels real as does the appearance and disappearance of the demon and succubus. There is a fox, which flits in and out of the scenes and it’s significance left me wondering throughout. The cast of characters is quite large, about twenty in all, but he managed to keep them all clear for me to follow; truly an amazing feat.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">There are some explicit scenes but they’re written in such a way most would find them inoffensive. The writer describes lesbian relationships well and the characters seem to blend with the rest of the cast; all but one.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The beginning chapters seem almost Pulp-like and the author did a fine job of helping me visualize how everything will overlap. The book has plenty of ups and downs but I was completely engaged. The author did a good job of capturing my interest and made me want to read on to see what happens next.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">The author introduces random occurrences, which left me wondering throughout my read if I would find out what they meant; he must have future plans for them.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">My suggestion, keep the lights on for this one.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">“I can’t wait to see what happens next.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Approximately how long did it take you to finish your book?</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I started on Labor Day 2008 and finished the draft for what will be books 1 and 2 by Halloween 2009. It went through tons of editing and as I said, was released a few times from 2010 until 2011. I pulled it late 2011. I released the new version January 1 2012 in physical copy. It can be found on Amazon by title or under my name. I prefer folks go to my personal Createspace web site as I plan to take 50% of the royalties to donate to Autism research-my son is afflicted with this poorly understood disorder. Amazon pays dirt for royalties so I chose the personal web page.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">What advice would you give aspiring authors?</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Well since I’m still an aspiring author I can’t really comment save for telling them don’t give up. Case in point-it took me 23 yrs to finally get to it and its gone from a short story based on a gross joke I shared with an anesthesiologist back in 1987 to what will end up being a series of about 3000+ pages under the series name of The Witches and Demons of Clay Mountain</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Do you use social media to promote your book, if yes then which social networks do you like the most?</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I use <a href="http://www.twitter.com/BY_NOBLE_HANDS" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Twitter</a> mostly because I can’t seem to figure out how to get <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Witches.N.Demons.of.Salem" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">FB</a> to work to my advantage. I have a time line there with all sorts of recent activities. I use <a href="http://dinosimonettiwriter.blogspot.com/" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">my blog</a> (with little success) and the other things associated with my links. You can Google me and find out all sorts of stuff on me; just ignore the picture of the scary looking bald guy that looks like an ax murderer-I assure you-that ain’t me.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">How did you go about designing the cover for your book?</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I designed and will continue to design my own covers and illustrations. Not only do I write novels, poetry, play music and draw; I have an eye for art. In fact I have mentioned this service to many writers that I will be happy to do the covers and would probably do the first one for very little money to see if the author and I hit it off conceptually</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Do you have a day job (if so, what do you do?) or do you write full-time?</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">DO I HAVE A DAY JOB? I love this question! Yes of course-unless I sell books I cannot expect to survive on paltry sales. I am currently in a sales position at a company called C3. We are working on a marketing campaign to provide on campus products for college students; it’s going well.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">I attend Massage Therapy School and graduate in December. The choice was prompted by the fact I can set my own schedule and write when I’m not providing wellness to people.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Prior to this recent smattering of activity I spent 33 years in pharmaceutics.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">Where is your book available to buy?</span></strong></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Bill pulls up in front of his house and gets out of the truck. While heading for the mailbox, he...</span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"> walks past the front of the vehicle and notices there is damage on the corner of the bumper; streaks of yellow paint.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Aww shit! Someone friggin’ hit me, damn it, I don’t have time for this BS!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">He kneels for a closer look and sees the damage is minor on the acrylic shell of the bumper. The paint flecks off as he scratches at it with his fingernail.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">“Well at least it comes off. A little compound will take the rest of it off I guess. It’s too dark out now though; I’ll do it tomorrow. What I could go for right now is a nice cold brewski! Budwizer, I hear ya callin’ my name!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">He walks into the house, a bit happier, knowing there won’t be any police report and insurance company phone calls. He tosses the mail on the kitchen table, walks to the fridge and pulls out a cold beer. The typical gas release sound is made as the top opens. He takes a long pull on the frosty cold contents,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Ahhhh! That hits the fu-king spot!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">He roots around in the fridge for something to eat. Sour pickles, cold mushroom pizza and two hard-boiled eggs are all that are left.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;">“Looks like Bill boy needs some food; time to call mom!”</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Bill takes the shell off one of the eggs, pops it in his mouth, and as he chews, he spits a tiny piece of shell towards the barrel, it misses. He opens the pickle jar and extracts the largest spear he can find and eats it right after the egg. He tears a piece of pizza off one of the slices and eats, washing it down with some more beer. He sets himself up a plateful with the rest of the food, after determining the combination is safe for human consumption. He grabs another beer and kicks the refrigerator door closed. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Bill walks into the den and slides a stool over with his foot to set the food down, then turns on the television. He scrolls through the channels stopping a few moments on some that grab his extensive attention span, for more than a few seconds. He finally chooses a popular weekly sitcom and settles back with the food, beer and remote. For a split second, he dwells on the feeling of how lucky he is for not having to listen to anyone. He can eat and dress anyway he wants; he can even leave the door open when he uses the John. Bill is the master of his own reality. He looks at his watch and realizes it’s getting late, reaches for the cell phone to make a <i>good night mommy</i> call and finds there is a text message that was missed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Bill is totally shocked <i>and</i> surprised at the content of the message. He mistily looks off into the distance, wondering who would send a message like this to him. His immediate reaction, almost too predictable.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“What the hell are they talking about? It was me that…did…what?

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">He thinks hard, has he pissed anyone off lately? Bill isn’t the most personable at the gym outside his little clique of equally brilliant training partners. He falls back against the sofa pad and takes another long pull on his second beer. He slides down into the sofa and snaps shut the bi- fold cell phone, forgetting to call his mother. He sits for a few minutes staring through the television still pondering the message. A situation with a boisterously noisy character from the television program grabs his attention; he laughs aloud,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">He looks back at the phone and says,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Awww, fuck off you clown! I’d fuck you up anyhow; whoever you are, no one fucks with the <i>big-B</i>! Here, try this on for size you asshole!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Bill types out the following message:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"> --presses send and waits for the display to clear. He turns his attention back to the television; Bill opens his third beer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">During a commercial, he goes to the refrigerator, takes three more beers out, tosses the cardboard carrier into the air and kicks it in the direction of the barrel. It lands in the center of the receptacle, on target.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Score! And the crowd goes wild…<i>Bill the Kid</i> wins the game for the Witches and the season is over…AHHH, AHHHH, AHHHH! They hoist him into the air! They chant Billy, Billy, Billy!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Okay, seriously now Bill, get a grip. So, he walks back to the sofa, plops down and continues to drink his beer. He guzzles the rest of beer number three, shoots beer number four and lets out a ten-second belch; he laughs to the empty room. Halfway into his fifth beer he dozes off, eventually falling asleep. Bill is sleeping soundly, no snoring, just the gentle rise and fall of his chest as he breathes in and out.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">There is a gentle rustle of grass and leaf under foot just outside the open window. A set of eyes cloaked by darkness, peer into the room. The enlarged pupils obscure their color, we <i>do</i> know they belong to a female; her delicious fragrance wafts into the room. Bill stirs for but a second unconsciously senses the scent in the air change; he smiles. Bill is clearly--very--much--asleep. The eyes back away, out of view. A small shiny object is placed against the screen.<i>“Thhhhhhfummmmp”</i> is the sound the broad-tipped arrow makes, as its driven by one of the most powerful compound bows on the market, a bow no ordinary girl could ever handle unless she were--never mind; you’ll see why. The bow boasts a one-hundred and twenty-five-pound-pull, more than enough for the job at hand; somehow the word <i>overkill</i> comes to mind. The arrow makes quick work of the screen as it enters the room, finding its target, Bill’s carotid; dead center. It travels across the empty expanse of throat and exits the other side. Blood spurts like a geyser from the entry wound. Bill bolts upright, eyes bulging, drunkenly grabbing for the arrows shaft.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">An insouciant gurgled grunt issues weakly through the blood in his throat. Blood pours from his neck and alternately dribbles or gushes from his mouth when he tries to speak.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">As Bill stands, he is immediately knocked back by a kick; a kick delivered by a sneaker-clad person; a person with an equally delicious fragrance, another female I’d gather. The air whistles gently as the business end of a garden shovel smashes against his head. It momentarily stuns him; stuns him enough to receive the second swing of the garden utensil; this time with the tools nearly knife-sharp edge. The second swing is purposefully aimed at a particular spot. The next swing is driven with more force; she is tired of waiting for it’s intended outcome. His skull cracks open halfway between his eye and ear. Brain matter continues to ooze from the skull fissure following the initial gush of cerebral matter. Bill is able to focus for but a moment, just long enough for an immediate recognition. This recognition forces a facial expression of total confusion. Bill knows the female archer, the same female, that moments ago, smelled so delicious outside the window.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">She holds the deadly weapon with arrow perched; ready to fire. She makes an instantaneous decision for her next shot, and draws back on the bowstring as far as it will go. Bill puts his hands up to cover his face. The arrow will deliver all the force the bow can generate. The archer let’s fly the second razor sharp arrow directly at Bill’s hands. The arrow penetrates both hands, enters his agape mouth and passes through the open throat, taking large chunks of tissue along with it. The arrow exits the back of his neck, grazing his spinal column; posting whatever sinew and blood it carries into the sofa fabric behind; the resultant splatter is random and widespread. The impact of the newest arrow causes more blood to eject from his pierced carotid. Bill, seconds from death, grunts a just barely intelligible,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Jeeee…ssthhhh?” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Jessica is seemingly not satisfied with his wounds; she fires another arrow into his stomach, again at point blank range. She rips the arrow from its site, taking stomach and intestinal spillage with it. She fires the same arrow into his larynx, and again yanks the arrow from his throat, pulling skin and muscle with it. She drops the bow and with both hands on the shaft of the arrow, plunges it repeatedly in and out of Bill’s stomach as if wanting to make sure he is dead; by now, he has been dead for at least half a minute.

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Jessica nods quickly; then looks down to watch Anne, gleaming, razor sharp athame in hand, slice his shirt open. With great deftness, she slices into the chest wall; blood gently sprays up onto their faces, hair, and clothing. She digs through the sinew and cartilage in search of his sternum. With each gouge, splatters of blood are thrown onto the girls.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne stands over Bill’s, body, musing in satisfaction with her prep-work. Jessica whispers,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne stands, takes a half step backwards and thrusts a solid kick; her foot connects with the exposed ribs. A deep, <i>CRAAACKKK</i> sound issues from within the ribcage cavity. Blood splatters across Anne’s legs and reaches Jessica’s arms and head; large droplets run down her face and down her back.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne kneels next to the body and with animalistic fervor, pulls the broken ribs apart to expose the intended organ, his heart. She takes the athame in hand and with callousness, chops and gouges at the attached blood vessels impatiently. She rips the now flaccid organ from Bill’s body cavity. Whatever blood does remain, runs from the excisions, down her arm onto the floor below.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Jessica nods, then smirks, Anne turns to face her, they lock eyes searchingly; Jessica grins, leans in and gives her a <i>longer-than-a-second</i> kiss on the lips, Anne remarks,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Silence, Anne’s eyes flit side to side, searching her friends expression. Jess says,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"> Okay, let’s be off!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne laughs. The girls leave Bill’s flat and get into his truck, Anne at the wheel. The dark tinted glass all but obscures their identities, perfect for a clandestine departure. The engine issues a low rumble as it starts; she makes a U-turn in the street and drives away at a quick pace, typical of how Bill would drive; therefore, raising no suspicion.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Outside in the yard, obscured by darkness, the fox sits, sniffing the air. It senses the girls are gone; their scent has all but dissipated. It runs and leaps for the broken screen, tearing through easily. It’s front paws touch down on the pool of blood; it commences its debasement by lapping at the puddle with the thirst of an animal at a stream on a hot day. It circles the sullied body as if deciding what to devour first. The fox sticks its snout inside Bill’s savagely created grotto of ribs. It expurgates the liver to gnash and lap insouciantly at the bloody contents of the acquiescent organ. The fox paws and tugs with its maw at the intestines to free them from its corporal repository. As it drags out the twenty-plus foot-long digestive tract, its many convoluted sections rip and tear on the splintered rib bones. Chunks of undigested pizza, pickles and hardboiled egg splatter on the floor in a growing puddle of pungent slop. The fox eats discriminately around the spoils knowing instinctively, such contents are better left for forensic inspection or rodents.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">When the fox mauls at the kidneys, its paw inadvertently touches down and punctures the bladder. The contents spew upward, creating an objectionable spray laced with fermented victual. The fox leaps in retreat; it growls and bares its teeth in supposed anger. It leaves the jagged fissure with its more desirable contents and circles the head. It paws and gnaws at the eyes until their inherent shape collapses like broken egg. It laps hungrily at the contents of its ocular bounty; a low growl of pleasure accompanies his defilement. Seemingly satisfied, it leaps in exit through the very opening it arrived through.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">The girls drive the two and a half miles to the police station in silence. The public entryway to the police station is shaped like a semi circle. Anne navigates the truck up the ramp towards the entrance and as she passes the doorway, Jessica tosses the heart out the window onto the sidewalk. As the bag slides toward the door, it splits open. The near bloodless heart leaves a red trail; the truck rumbles off into the night. As the girls drive towards their final destination, Jessica creates a text message reading:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">She pushes send, a few moments later, the cell phone in Bill’s apartment buzzes; message received. She next places a call to the police station.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Witch City Police Department, Sergeant Dinabolo speaking. This call is being recorded. Is there an emergency?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">In an obviously masked husky sounding voice, Jessica responds. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Officer Dinabolo, there is a human heart from a now dead man, inside a plastic bag on the station’s doorstep. You can find the rest of him at 4318 Mishit Parkway, apartment one. His name is Bill; enjoy the scenery; have a good night sir….”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Who is this? Is this a practical joke, what are you talking about?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Sir, this is no joke, good night!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">The connection is broken; they look at each other for a moment in silence, in wordless agreement they have completed their grisly task; a task set upon them by a desperate instigator. Jessica takes the disposable phone, wipes it down and hurls it at the ground as hard as she can while they drive; it is pretty much obliterated from the impact. Moments later a passing car crushes it to an indistinguishable mass.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Apparently, Officer Dinabolo investigated the basis of the call. Within minutes, the rumor of sirens from several municipal authorities can be heard approaching the vicinity of Bill Kidd’s apartment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne cuts the motor of Bill’s truck at the crest of a small hill leading to Forest River Park. All that can be heard is the crunching of gravel and twig as the vehicle rolls unimpeded down the entrance road to its final destination, the water’s edge. There is a short embankment just prior to the water where she stops the vehicle. Ann sops a towel in the salty harbor waters and methodically wipes down the finger printable areas with briny water to obliterate any possible lifting of latent prints. Jessica jumps out and walks around to where Anne is completing her commission. She whispers,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne releases the emergency brake and the truck lumbers slowly down the few feet to the waters of Salem Inner Harbor. The truck enters nearly without sound and rolls slowly out further and further from shore until coming to a halt in soft mud, it will sink slowly in the mud; right up to the open windows. Anne whispers to Jessica,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<i><span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">“Okay baby-J, we’ll stay on the beach until we get to Sumner; any blood on our shoes will wear off in the sand.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Jessica nods, the girls jump down onto the sand, making their way along the water’s edge under shadow of the sea wall. After traversing the equivalent of several street blocks, they climb over the wall and enter onto Sumner Street as planned.</span></span></div>

They stare fixedly, searchingly, into the others’ eyes. Jess runs both index finger nails slowly down the center of Anne’s back and gently over the rounded portion of her buttock. The fingertips trace to the underside of the flank and follow the contours of the outer hip, Anne shudders. Jess continues running her fingertips up the outer abs and traces the outside of her breasts. Jess runs one fingertip halfway across the clavicle, then up Anne’s neck and across her parted lips; all the while, Anne is shaking noticeably. With open hands, Jess pulls Anne’s face forward and gives her a feather gentle kiss. Anne whispers,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"> She doesn’t finish her sentence; instead she places her hands gently on either side of Jessica’s face. Anne looms in tentatively; Jess can feel Anne’s warm breath against her mouth; Jess leans towards the warmth. Their lips touch gently at first, pause for but a millisecond, as if expecting resistance. Their coincident glassy eyes flutter; broadcasting desire, eyes speaking to the others mind. These <i>friends</i> are going to trade a total giving, a totality of submission; they will give all there is to offer, all there is to receive. The softness of their lips, the warmth of their breath upon each other; it draws them, one to the other, like magnets draw metal. Their lips glide slowly, sensuously, across the others; almost as if they were buttered. Jess seems to melt into Anne as they gently explore the warmth and softness of one another’s lips. Jessica draws on Anne’s tongue, gently at first; their tongues glide effortlessly over the others, almost as if painting with a brush. Their tongues undulate slowly, like snakes, as if trying to wind around the others. There is no break in their kiss; Jess presents her tongue, leaving it to be sucked on; like one would suck on a popsicle. Jess quivers, juts her pelvis forward, as if being controlled by Anne’s suckling. Jess places her arms flaccidly around Anne’s waist, gently drawing their pelvises together; she gyrates slowly in tempo with Anne’s tongue sucking. Anne releases Jessica’s tongue, their eyes open, Anne stares deeply into her soon-to-be-lovers eyes, as if searching, searching, looking for something missing. Looking for the soul? Instead, finding the heart. The corners of Anne’s lips twitch into a smile; she closes her eyes and moves towards the warm breath of Jessica’s parted lips.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">While gently grinding their hips together; the softness of their chests rub together, tip against engorged tip; soft skin pressing against soft skin. Jessica takes one in her hand and gently, but teasingly kneads it; Anne moans while exhaling into her newfound lovers mouth. Their ragged breaths exchange, one open mouth into the other, all the while, trying to keep their lips from parting. Jess can’t wait, she breaks the kiss, slowly descends to Anne’s tips, gently drawing on one, then the other, all the while staring into her partners fluttering eyes. Hands gently and slowly explore, Anne pulls Jess away almost savagely by the hair. She forces her tongue into Jessica’s mouth, thirstily seeking her tongue to intertwine slowly, yet incessantly. The intensity increases, Anne drops to one knee to separate Jessica’s legs with her head. Jess replies to Anne’s invasion by gently, but purposefully, straddling her face. She probes and caresses Jessica’s most sensitive area, pulling Anne’s head up so her face can penetrate deeper; she gyrates faster and faster across Anne’s face until she reaches that expected sensation. She looks up at the panting Jess. Anne gently kisses the lips she so savagely penetrated seconds ago, before standing to embrace her tightly. Anne removes the two fingers from inside herself and runs them across Jessica’s lips; they lap languorously at the shared bounty. They intertwine and caress the coincident tongue; drinking each other in, as each hitched breath is exchanged. The space around them falls away, their world is right before them; in each other’s arms, in each other’s embrace, in each other’s kiss. Nothing else matters, except how their lips relate; they hold onto each other tightly, as if afraid, almost as if afraid the other will melt away in a wisp, away in a wisp of smoke, as if this is all a dream.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">They step out of the shower, exchanging lingering and promise-filled kisses; Jess runs her fingers through Anne’s wet hair, leaving dollops of water on the floor behind. </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">Anne backs Jess into the bedroom; next to the bed Anne pushes Jess down. Jess scoots to the center of the mattress, leaving a trail of wetness from her still wet hair and body. Anne feverishly dives onto her in a straddle, cooled droplets of water running out of her hair onto Jess; each droplet causing further excitation and anticipation of what’s to follow. She pulls Anne down until her soft chest is upon her now newly committed to partners lips. Jess massages the tips between her lips, gently at first, then more ardently; they moan quietly, in unison.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Jess gently, yet firmly, pushes Anne over to the side, nuzzling gently with her lip on the way down to the pelvis. Out of reflex, Anne parts her thighs in anticipation for the arrival of Jessie’s head; making her completely accessible with but a gentle nudge. Jess, gently at first, uses her lips to expose Anne’s soft insides; Anne raises her hips slowly towards Jessica’s face. Jess answers with an aggressive swipe of the tongue, forcing the folds apart; exposing more of Anne’s inner softness. Anne hips gyrate rhythmically; she pulls Jessica’s face deeper into her folds.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne can’t lie back and only be a recipient of the bliss being bestowed; she needs to reciprocate. She grabs Jessie’s leg and pulls it over her head. The soft folds begin spreading slowly, Anne can’t wait, she plunges her face deep into her lovers folds, instinctively knowing exactly where to touch down; almost as if she had done this before. They mouth each other’s insides, lips massaging and teasing the pulsing and expectant protuberances, being ever so gentle, both wanting to prolong the arrival of the all-encompassing release; each time, the climax is more intense than the previous. It takes all their concentration to stay focused when they are continually reaching climax after climax, release after quivering release; gyrating and bucking feverishly across their lovers face each time they near one. They appear to be tiring, yet, they seem to find the energy to press on, to push through the threshold of momentary muscular failure, as if afraid, afraid the sensations will never return if stopped. The rumor of incessant moaning and whispers of encouragement fill the breadth of Jessica’s bedroom; sounding almost as if a populace were in the throes of orgy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.2in;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Anne somehow finds the energy to take advantage of having her hands free, to gently, yet liberally, run them all across Jessie’s soft chest; kneading and tugging carefully. Frequently she would grab her lovers buttocks and plunge her face as deeply inside as possible, gyrating her face like a mad woman, making Jess drop her hips lower so Anne doesn’t have to reach for her. The continual sound, like that of watermelon being eaten, is accompanied by animalistic throaty sounds of bliss as they penetrate deeper into the others volcanically eruptible erogenous. Anne laps like a dehydrated animal, at what copiously flows from inside her lover. Small rivulets run through the hair and down the sides of Anne’s face as she rubs her face all about Jessica’s inners. Jess rapidly rubs her nose, lips and chin, from side to side, top to bottom, across Anne’s pinked and heady inners. In short order, Jess brings her to another intense, all-encompassing climax.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: lime; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">For a time, several fingers are introduced into each other, for more uninterrupted, multiples. They treat each other like queens, for nearly the overnight, into the early dawn hour. They switch, giver for taker, top for bottom, hands for face; always smearing the others inner offerings. Always lapping at each other, like puppies, not wanting to miss bit, each signifying an iota of deeper bonding. Gentle kisses, slow and unhurried, exchange deep tenderness; Harried, yet gentle, biting and sucking on each other, exchanging torrid expressions of desire. These new lovers, these new partners; Anne and Jessica, never knew, all these years, the unrequited love they keened, was in the other.</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

They listen to the other breathe; exchanging breaths, drawing in the essence of the other’s life, sharing with the other; savoring the bouquet of the others efforts to bring forth endless releases. Anne runs her fingers through Jessica’s dampened hair, inhaling her musk left there. She reaches for Jessica’s face in the darkness and finds it, she traces the outline of her lovers lips, Jess kisses her fingertip. She whispers,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

calls to her cat, it comes running; jumps up onto the counter, and then onto
her shoulder. It purrs in her ear, meows once while looking into Myryan’s eyes
intently. The cat moves its head up and down, in an arc to the left, then to
the right; it meows again. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">Myryan
walks out to the cobble stone lot where the Jeep with the big tires is parked. She

cat curls up on the passenger seat and bobbles its head in a circular fashion
to the left, then to the right. The cat meows before putting its head down on
its paws. Myryan negotiates the side streets that will get her to the rectory
in the shortest time possible. She abhors traffic; saying on more than an
occasion or two, it’s one of the disadvantages of having a bustling business
near the center of the city. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

noisy tires precede her arrival at the church. Deacon Dawes is outside near the
front entrance of the church chalking the gates open. He turns to see her
approaching and briskly walks at an almost bounding pace to signal her to pull
straight into the pebble drive. He walks over to the driver side of the vehicle
as she steps out. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">The
cat jumps down from the Jeep, walks over to the deacon, and does her once
around walk; not the typical leg rubbing walk, this is a clear walk around. It
looks up at the deacon; he looks down to watch it pause at each plane of his
stance for just a moment. It meows a few times then sits next to Myryan. She glances
down at the cat; it stares back at her with its green and purple eyes. She
remarks without looking up quite yet.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
