DARKSIDE: The United States of Anarchy; "The Green Eyed Wanderer."
[Version Control : Original.]
[Disclaimer: This text is intended for adult audiences, if you are not of age to view it, be somewhere else. This series of explores the darker aspects of the human experience, if that might offend you, then you were warned, and it isn't my problem. -- KTM]
Anything can happen in the Multiverse. Even a world that is much like ours, but which somehow... isn't. A world that is a magnet for the blackness in the dreams and souls of humankind. A world known as: The Darkside.
The World's economic system depends on a delicate interlocking system of mutual trust and financial debt. When those bonds shattered, the governments and monetary institutions crumbled. Even the most idealistic civil servants left their jobs when their families were gripped with hunger. The Survivors of the Chaos would come to call their nation the United States of Anarchy. Chapter 15. "The Green Eyed Wanderer." -- by KTM. <Pulse.>
Here you go again, the same thing. Another town, and another girl. You wish it would stop, but it never does. The nightmare never ends, the bad dream just keeps going in your head. The trucker you were hitching with lets you off at the local Keep. 'Fancy name for a Truck stop', you think. You head for the john, and after doing your business, you look in the grimy mirror. You look carefully, seeing if you will do. You see a haunted face of middle years, 35 to 50, with a full beard and mustache. Your shoulder length brown hair is held in place at your neck with a band. You try not to meet the bright green eyes in the glass. Green eyes are a trait of your family, but yours are far brighter than your kin's. They are the green of your curse. The green you've left behind yourself a thousand times as you wander, straining at the end of your invisible chains. Your clothes are in fair repair, and not too dirty. You look ok, so you go in to get something to eat. You'd raid the dumpster, but the chained out back looks like he'd make too much noise. So you slip inside the greasy spoon to pad your ribs. The Imperial script looks like play money, but they accept it. Half the country does since the Empire formed last summer. She's not here, you notice. You're relieved. A truck stop would be a bad place to do what you're here to do. And what you must do soon, you know. The Pulse that hit you as you passed the highway sign for this little town had been a hard one. What was the town's name? You've forgotten already. It doesn't really matter. The Trucker that brought you here is alright. He'd eaten here too, and comes by to ask if you're still going his way. You shake your head, you have business in town, you see. 'The same business,' you think. It's just a new town. You go outside, and follow the Pulse. As you walk, you keep an eye out for the Law. You don't like being jailed for vagrancy. They mistake the torments of your compulsion for drug trips, and the longer they keep you the worse it gets. If the town is well patrolled, you may have to take a bit longer. Spend a few days working towards your target at night, waiting for an opportunity. You're lucky, as you usually are. No cops, or 'Justice Agents' as they call them now, only a few incurious stares for the stranger as you walk through the streets. Things begin to look familiar to you. You've been in a million little towns; hundreds, no, thousands of them in this part of the country alone. They all look alike to you. And yet... the church on the corner. The steeple on the corner is freshly painted, but the side window is cracked. You remember the steeple needing a whitewash, and the window being unbroken. You feel uneasy. Retracing your footsteps isn't good for you. The park on the next block. The playground equipment is different than you recall, but the timbers are weathered. You relax, if you were here before, it's been a while. Maybe they've forgotten you. Maybe they don't hate you anymore. You doubt that, just as you doubt that anyone could hate you more than you hate yourself. You hate your life. You hate your curse. You hate the Pulse.
<Pulse!>
Nearer. Very near. You begin to be cautious. You can't let anyone see you in this area. From the bushes across the street you study the house. It's the same house you were drawn to last time. The that was there before must have moved away long ago. The home is different from what you vaguely recollect. The open porch is closed off now with posts and screens. The house is painted yellow instead of the former green color. Gee, you wonder why. There are people walking around outside the place, moving a sprinkler to another part of the yard. When you were here before there were tall hedges in the back. No more, they are replaced with broad flower beds. It had been in the shade of those hedges that you had... No. Not now! You push the unbidden memories away. You squat in the bushes, brushing away a spider web, and letting a line of ants crawl over your shoes. They don't climb any higher. You have some time to kill until you can approach the house, so you can let yourself remember, you guess. You'll need her to be alone. You have come back to the same before. So many places and so many frightened faces. It's all a blur to you. You wouldn't be able to function if you couldn't push it all away and live for the moment. You'd be a raving lunatic. Instead you were only quietly mad. But it's not your fault. You're under the curse, dammit! Drowsy, your eyes close. You relive that earlier time in this same nameless town. . .
You had short hair then. You still made an effort to blend into places. You'd been going for the red-neck look, with buzzed hair and a battered baseball hat. She lived with her parents, and you hung around for two days, waiting. Those were more innocent times. On the second day, she'd come home from school, and they'd gone to play golf. She'd come out in a bathing suit with a towel. You were puzzled, there wasn't a pool in their yard, not even a wading pool. She lay in the sunny shelter of the hedge, spread on some lotion, and went to sleep. You came quietly inside the yard. No dogs, good. You crouched near her and looked at her, trying to ignore the Pulse in your head. She was an teen, wearing a bikini. That would make it easier for you. She was dark haired, a little in the waist, but her face was fairly pretty. It didn't matter. She could have been homely, and if the Pulse insisted... You took a cord from your pocket, and pulled the wax paper from the wide duct tape gag you carried. Staying crouched below the level of the hedge, you moved next to her. She became aware of you only as you put the gag on her mouth. Between your strength and the power of your green eyes, you kept her still long enough to roll her over and tie her hands behind her back. Helpless now, her eyes were filled with terror as you dragged down her bikini bottoms to loosen it, then opened your pants. Your danger sense was quiet, so you took the time to touch her. Not bothering to take off her bottoms, you just shoved the panel aside. You touched her with fingers slick with the secretions of your hard cock. You pushed up her top and played with her small breasts. She wet some, but didn't respond much. You worked your middle finger all the way into her tight pussy. Damn, another virgin. No way around it though, you've got to do it. "I'm sorry," you said softly, "but I have to." (In the present, you wonder just how long it's been since you bothered to apologize to a girl, or even to speak at all for that matter.) Relentlessly you spread her legs wide, and began to force your drooling penis into the girl's body. Slowly at first, then faster, you began to press into her. Her belly felt hot to yours. You know what was happening to her, even if she didn't. No matter where the was in her monthly cycle, when you are finished she would be fertile. She would get pregnant, and she would be compelled to not allow your offspring to be aborted. If she was lucky, you thought, she would miscarry. That happened sometimes, you knew from those few you've visited again. Always when it did there was something wrong with the baby. It seemed the force that drove you to spread your sperm allowed no deadly defects in your numerous children. But those that lived... they were always exceptional children, in one way or another. (If only you had some choice! But you don't, and you have never had.) As quick as you could, you broke her, and tried not to see the tears of pain welling in the eyes. You had to her, and you couldn't stop now. Soon your cock was bottoming out deep inside of her. As soon as you did, you came, and yet you stayed hard. You're the only you knew who could have multiple orgasms. Yet you only wished you were a celibate monk, or castrated, or better yet, dead. So many years, so many wet cunts, and all because of the never ending Pulse. In the next half-hour or so, you in her several times, filling her with your sperm. The urging of the Pulse faded, and you softened. You figure you've given her the one sperm that will impregnate her. You stayed inside her, stroking her struggling body until it happened. Conception! You could leave now. You hoped the would be able to get on with her life. No offense meant, Miss. It's not like either of us had a choice... You stroked her face, and willed her to sleep. You didn't want the cops to be after you right away. You dragged her into the shade, and tied her ankles too. There, it would be a while before she was found, and if she woke first, she would have to work hard to get to a phone. From when you used to play golf as a man, you knew that her would only be an hour or two more before they would be home.
<PULSE.>
You snap to in the present, she's here! Deja vu, she's coming home from school. She seems familiar somehow. She looks around cautiously, that isn't a good sign you think. You like it better when they are innocent and careless. It made things easier. You know you are less likely to a if you can take her by surprise. She brings her bike into the closed porch. As she fastens it, you see something flap loosely at the screen enclosing the side porch. When all is quiet again, you backtrack a block and cross the road. You work your way to that side of the yellow house. Your eyes are sharp, and you can see where the insect screening has been loosened. It looked like they did it to install the shiny new air conditioner. They'd weakened their defenses in order to be cool. The screening wouldn't have kept you out anyway. You carry wire cutters in your long coat. You wait until dark, after the music and lights are off, and come besides the porch. You peer into the loose screen. There is a long couch on the side porch, and a teddy-bear. You smile, it's where the spends a lot of time, you can smell it. The couch will make things more comfortable. There are scented candles on a small table by the couch. You fidget, because there is a small glass globe of the Earth between the candles. The venerates HER, the one that torments you. The one that gave you the curse, and the one who controls the Pulse. You ease onto the porch, and look for a place to hide. No such luck. There are security tags on the window. You freeze momentarily, but your instincts wouldn't have led you out under any cameras. You'll have to hide elsewhere for the day, but you use your clippers to widen the gap of the screen. You want your entrance tomorrow to be as quiet as possible. You exit the porch, adjusting things so they look normal. Now to find a place to sleep. The Pulse gives a last tug, but the pain isn't too bad. You've long since stopped fighting the curse, and no longer endured the agony that came of resistence. You worked with the curse, and used your instincts to judge, and plan, and wait. You were no longer urged to take the first opportunity you had. Instead you were allowed to arrange the best chance to do what you were here for, and still get away safely. You spend the day in someone's boat. It sits in a backyard down the street. The dust indicates that it hasn't been used in a while, and the tarp covering the cabin from the leaves was loose enough for you to wriggle inside. There is canned food in the cupboard, and you make yourself at home.
<pulse.>
A quiet Pulse lets you know that you should wake up. You peek out from under the tarp, and see the darkening sky. It's time to move on. Years of painfully learned stealth gets you up against the yellow house, close enough to touch the loose screen. Music plays from a radio on the side porch, and the candles and a soft light illuminate the scene. The lays on her belly on the couch, reading a book. She's wearing bike shorts and a halter top, and she drums a foot absently. Your cock twitches painfully at the sight of her bare thighs. You reach up and pull the band from your long hair, letting it fall loose and lank below your shoulders. You can just yourself, crouching there in the dark, looking for all the world like the guy on the cover of Jethro Tull's "Aqualung". The side door opens, and both you and the jump. You crouch lower as the lady comes out and says to her, "Isn't it time for you to come in?" The pouts at her. "Aw, c'mon Grandma, there's no school tomorrow. Can't I stay up later? I'm not a kid anymore." "How late?" the woman says doubtfully. "Eleven thirty?" the asks with a wheedling tone. "Ten thirty. Well, alright. You have 'till Eleven, and no later!" The hops up and gives the woman a hug and a quick kiss. "Thanks Grandma. I love you." "I love you, too, lady," the woman says, turning to go, "Don't make me regret this." "I won't," the assures her. You watch as she reads her book and fiddles with the radio. It's been a long time since you watched a for so long, but you sense you should wait. After an hour, she turns off the low watt overhead light, and turned up the music a little, leaving just the soft glow of the candles. She digs behind the couch and comes up with a skin magazine that she looks at while rubbing herself in the dimness. She gasps and squirms under her own touch. Your eyes watch her every motion.
<PULSE!>
Yes, you know, dammit. If she feels so safe that she can do this, then it's safe for you, too. She bites down on a pillow to muffle her cries, then lays still, panting. It's time.
<Pulse.>
You stand, and brush your hair into your face. Pulling up on the screen, you slowly slide into the porch. Your hand reaches into your pocket for a tape gag as you approach her. As you reach the couch, a board creaks, and she looks up guiltily... and sees you. You tense, ready to wrestle her into submission, but she just lays there, frozen. With your other hand, you reach out and put a finger on her trembling lips. "You be quiet," you tell her softly, "and I won't hurt you." Her eyes are shadowed in the dimness as she slowly begins to draw in air for an outcry. The hand in your pocket moves as if grasping a weapon, and the fingers on her lips shifts to grasp her chin. "If you yell, and bring them out here, they might be... harmed." you warn her in a hoarse whisper. Her shoulders slump, as if defeated, but you don't trust her quick surrender. You push her a little, and sit down with her, flipping pages in her magazine. It was some European import, unreadable words making legends for pictures of little girl-children servicing grown men in every possible way. Looking at her, you deliberately drop it over the back of the couch, and then open your pants, revealing your hardness.
<Pulse!>
She makes a startled noise at your blunt action. The dark eyes stare at your engorged phallus raptly. You take her small hand and put it on your cock. It curls reflexively, and you guide the smoothness of her hand, pumping the loose skin of your cock over the shaft. The tell-tale appearance of her tongue wetting her lips galvanizes you. You pull her into your arms and kiss her urgently, thrusting your tongue far into her mouth. She holds the kiss with you running her tongue against yours. Your hands move to lift up her halter, and fumble with her baggy shorts. Incredibly, she helps you disrobe her, but you are too eager to have her to question her unlikely cooperation. Naked, she lays back, trembling anxiously as you poise to plunge into her body.
<PULSE!>
You have no choice, and so you thrust hard into her soft wet cunt. Ah! She gasps softly, and you feel her maidenhead yield to you. You're surprised. She seemed too knowledgeable and willing to be virgin, but it's too late to care about that now. There's over an hour to go before her deadline, and she's fucking you back in a way you seldom experience. You start to enjoy yourself thoroughly. Tonight, with no gags or bindings, you can try to forget that you are raping an under-aged girl. You can pretend that she wants you. That you're her clandestine lover come for an illicit tryst with her. The fantasy explains the efforts you both make to stay as quiet as possible. With a hard surge, you ejaculate in her, but that only slows you down a little. Soon you continue as before, plunging ahead to the second of your many orgasms into her hot little body. The warmth in her belly is faint. Seems she was close to her fertile time anyway. You stay longer than usual, enjoying the fucking immensely. It's so novel not to have to force yourself on a female. But even your inhuman stamina reaches it's end eventually. You plug up her with your cock, cradling her ass, and wait for the flare. You kiss her face, her hair, her neck, while you wait. You bend to suck on her nipples, all to show your gratitude for the way she'd let you fulfill your need without violence. She accepts your kisses and caresses, seemingly willing to stay with you for whatever it is you're waiting for. There. You feel it happen, the flare. You place a long hand flat on her belly, feeling the life in there that you two have created. But... her belly heats again, and the Pulse hits you once more. "Dammit," you mutter, "twins." It's happened to you before, but rarely. You reach for again, to taste her sweetness one last time, but she lays a hand on your chest, resisting at last. "I have to go inside," she whispers. You shake your head mutely, holding her tighter, and she sighs. "Fine, then we'll both go inside." Your eyes widen at that, but you let her go. She dresses and diffidently helps you close your pants over your swelling erection. She blows out the guttering candles, and leads you through the darkness to the side door. Opening it, she pulls you inside. You can't believe you're actually going in the house, to her bedroom. She takes you down a hallway, and your back crawls as her door creaks softly when it opens. "Goodnight, sweetheart," said a sleepy voice from across the hall. "'Night Grandma, and thanks again." the answers quietly. "You're welcome, dear. Sleep well." the woman said. "I will," the promised. The door closed behind you, and from the moonlight you can see teddy bears and other plush animals. A little girl's room alright. You get even harder at the thought. In the pale beams she undresses again, her body slender and white. A child of yours already inside her, and another to join it soon. She comes to you, and pulls at your clothes. You hesitate, and then start to help her. It's the first time in years you can remember being naked with a partner. Usually you only unzip enough to do the job, staying mostly dressed to ensure a fast getaway. She leads you to the moonlight, brushing your hair back, and studies your face intently with a smile. She pulls down the covers, and you join her in the bed. This time it's even better. You can take your time, and slowly fuck her, transporting you both to the extremes of ecstasy many times. Before you fall asleep, holding her, she sets an alarm for early in the morning. Drifting peacefully, you feel the flare when it hits. Her alarm is quiet, thankfully. It goes off at 5:00am, and she turns it off, then blinks to realize you weren't a dream. Your hand goes to her belly, and you sense your task is done. The is pregnant with twins. The momentary twinge of worry that such a was carrying two of your children is dismissed. SHE wouldn't have made you do it if the chances weren't good the would come to term. You sit up and reach for your pants. It's time to go. She reaches for your hand. Her fingers play through the hair on your arm, over to the sparse hairs on your chest, down your body, then stroking your cock. The was a natural tease. "Once more?" she asks. "Grandma won't be up for a couple of hours yet." You hesitate; honestly unsure if you could even perform anymore without the Pulse driving you. Her tickling fingers makes you twitch, and that seems to be all the assent that she was looking for... Pushing you on your back, she brings her hot mouth to your half hard cock, and gives it tentative little licks that turn into slathering caresses with her tongue. Suddenly she sucks your cock into her mouth, and starts vigorously. Oh god, but it feels so good. You can't remember the last time your cock was blown. Her hot mouth and lashing tongue bring you to a raging erection. You put your hand over her head, and push yourself deeper into her mouth. Gradually you push her a little deeper each time you press onto her soft hair. Before you realize she's deep throating you without apparent difficulty. Just another of her natural talents, it seems. The feeling of her swallowing your cock is so incredible. You enjoy it for as long as you can, then tangle her hair with your long fingers to push her to take you deeply while you down deep in her throat. She comes up gasping for air, but licking her lips at the taste of you. A soft stroke of her face is all the apology you give her for half suffocating her, but it seems to be enough. She quickly strokes you hard again, and this time straddles you, sinking her sopping slowly down on your cock. This is also a rarely indulged in sexual act. You don't play with your more unwilling victims, preferring more to just get the job done and be gone. The sight of her slim body riding on top of you is exciting. Your hands reach up to play with her with an urgency, and a sophisticated knowledge of how to please her. She jerks and wriggles as you stimulate her so. Her jerks become nearly convulsions when one of your hands drops to play with her swollen clit. She reaches to her headboard and grabs a little stuffed snake, and bites down hard on its blue fur. Her attempt to gag herself on her toy amuse you, and you smile up at her, while lifting your hips to meet her down-thrusting cunt. The poor blue snake pays the price to keep her moans from bursting out as ecstatic screams. You feel yourself starting to approach orgasm, and your hands move to grab her hips. You finish this last time in her with hard, almost brutal slams inside of her. Her hands brace on your pale chest, with the soggy snake dangling from between her teeth. There are tear in her eyes, but they are tears of pleasure, not of pain. The hard ride ends with your groan, and you hold her down firmly on your spurting cock. Why not? She's already pregnant by you. She collapses on top of you, breathing hard. You feel yourself soften within her. Apparently, your extra stamina is only increased when the Pulse is urging you. This once, you've loved a woman because you wanted to, and for no other reason. The wet snake lays on your chest near her face, and it's goofy visage seems to look at you. "I have to go," you say simply to her. She stirs and sighs. "I know. You can use my bathroom." You do, cleaning up while she watches and bundles up her bedding to be laundered. You bind your long hair back in it's band. She helps you dress, and gets into her pajamas and robe. Quietly, you leave your room, and she takes you to the back door. The puts the snake in one of your large pockets, along with some food from the fridge. She comes into your arms to give you a big hug and a deep kiss. You smile down at her fondly, but stiffen in shock as she looks up at you in the early morning's light. Her eyes... they're green! A bright, almost flourescent green. The same green you saw in the Keep's mirror days ago, and saw again in her mirror this morning as you brushed your teeth with her own toothbrush. The world spins on you, and you stagger against the door frame. You mouth works and nothing comes out for a moment. "You... you're..." you start, but you can't even finish the thought. "Yes, I am," she says calmly. "My wish came true." She leans up and kisses your cheek. "I love you, Daddy, and I know this is goodbye." She opens the door for you, and goes out with you onto the back steps. "I just wanted to meet you once," you dimly hear her say. "And maybe have something to remember you by." Her hand rubs her belly. "Since I'll have two somethings, I thought you needed something to remember me by. Do you even recall my momma?" You nod your head numbly. "A little. It came back to me as I sought you out. This..." your hand gestures at the neighborhood, "was familiar. But why...?" you ask her, wanting to know so much. She shrugged, "I just did. And you've got to go now. I can feel the pulling on you. It's time for you to move on. But Daddy, what's your name?" "Rodger," you say, fighting the itch to leave, so you can stay with her for a little longer. "Yours?" you ask weakly. "It's embroidered on the snake," she smiles sweetly. Your sister had a smile like that, long ago when you both were children. Your danger sense prickles and you abruptly turn away, walking briskly to some near by bushes for cover. Turning, you see a Justice patrol car cruise by. The deputy inside waves to the as she bends down to get a rolled up newspaper. She waves back cheerfully at him, and disappears inside the house. You can still sense her eyes watching you, though. You give a little wave at the yellow house, before you jam your hands in your pockets and move along. At the Keep's restroom, you pull out your souvenir from your pocket. The custom stitched tag says 'Sasha', so you figure that was her name. In the diner you use more of your Imperial play money to buy breakfast, and try to keep your ears open for truckers who will accept hitchhikers. But you don't really feel like hitching today, really. It starts to rain, and you walk west along the highway, with your tears mingling with the rain drops on your cheeks. How long have you been doing this? Sasha's was by no means your first. You never change, and you've never aged, not in all these years. SHE won't let you stop. Not once does the curse let go. Not ever. It's obviously been long enough that you can be made to sink to even lower depths than ever before. Now you've sullied your own bastard daughter. Aren't you just so admirable? Not.
The itch is leading you westward. Another town to visit, another to ravish. And the curse never ends. A big truck with K.O.R.S. plates starts to pass you, and you turn to it, wishing that you could just throw yourself under it's wheels and end your pain forever. But SHE won't let you do it. Your damned sense of self- preservation is too strong. The truck slows, and pulls over. You trudge up to the cab, and the guy leans out, "Wanna lift, buddy? I'm going to Kansas."
<Pulse.>
You nod wearily. Yeah, Kansas will do. You climb up, and settle in for another long haul. In your pocket you feel the stuff she put in there. You offer the trucker some of the homemade brownies wrapped in tinfoil she'd given you, then idly play with the matted snake. The trucker is happy to have stopped for you, it's not often he gets real brownies. "That belong to your kid?" he asks. "Yeah", you say, putting it back in your pocket and turning to the window. He gets the message that you're not in a talkative mood, and stops trying. He just drives on to your next appointment with fate. Your eyes burn, but you can't cry anymore. There aren't enough tears for all that you have to grieve for, and for all the grief yet to come. You start to push the memories away; you can't stand the remembering. It's best to let it go, and take things as they come. It's the only way for you to survive.
You get off in west Kansas, and walk to a roadside diner. At the door you throw away a crumbled bit of tinfoil, and something furry and blue that doesn't mean anything to you anymore, if it ever did. As it drops into the can, you feel that it might have, once. But you also sense that it was one of those things you were better off not knowing. It was hard enough to do what you had to, without knowing. You go inside, and prepare for the next girl. It was time to follow the Pulse once again. To be Continued...
