An old very short story
Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2009 2:39 am
I dug this out for another thread so I figured I may as well post it here while I'm thinking of it. Here it is as originally written, spelling and grammar errors included. Enjoy.

It always amazed Trixie when shit like this happened. Sometimes she'd have time to fix things, sometimes she just had to get out of town. This was one of those get out of town circumstances. There was nothing that was gonna save that poor bastard, he was definately dead by the time she left. And the whacked out girl that whispered of fairies and demons all night... well a girl on peyote caps is capable of many things, murder is the least of them. Recreating the future investigation in her head, Trixie felt secure that there was nothing to link her to the crime. Maybe some DNA traces on the girl, but forensics wouldn't pick that up... who checks the suspect for alien fluids.

She'd hauled ass out of there so quickly she almost forgot to pull the tape out of the camcorder. The meth was definately effecting her thought process, she could bare keep the sequence of events in order. She got the tape, she wiped her prints, she took the cash... there were things she knew she was forgetting, big things. Death is an odd thing, the way it just creeps up on you. One second a guys paying you 300 bucks to choke him while he's getting off, the next minute he's not moving, not breathing, with a Piggly Wiggly bag pulled tight acrossed his face. She didn't want to but she knew she'd enjoyed it, feeling him struggle... watching his leg kick that last time. She knew when the twiching in his arms stopped that he was dead... she knew it but she kept hold the bag anyway, just like that dizzy tripped out bitch kept fucking him into the beyond. Killing him wasn't her plan, not at all. It was just one of those things that happened. One of those things that only happened to Trixie.

A few blocks away now, she imagined the girl still fucking the corpse. Riding it hard, screaming in languages not heard since god purged the earth of eternal darkness. Trixie wondered what that moment was going to be like, when she snapped back into reality. That dead dick in her... would the cops be there yet... would she even remember it. Pity welled up in the corners of her eyes for a second, and then the second was over. 

The night was hot, far too hot and far too moist. Each short gasp she managed left her with the feeling of a noose slowly tightening around her throat. The air was thick, thick with sweat and cum. She felt as though she could taste the whole city, as if all the vice was evaperating and creating a noxious fog of sin. She was far enough away that she could stop so she ducked in the first shop she came across to buy something to drink, and wash the diseased taste of the city our of her infected mouth.
The piggly wiggly was bright, meth made everything brighter. But grocery stores use some unholy form of devil lighting, concocted by wretches of the void to forcibly make that box of cocoa puffs look a little more appetizing. It was the light of purgatory, bright and souless... and Trixie knew it all to well. She remembered back to her days as a checkout girl named Mary Beth. When "The Pig" payed her 5.60 an hour to lose her mind one customer at a time for 16 hours a week. She remembered how comforting the monotiny was, how the fake lighting and constant repetion of faceless customers and their idle small talk made her not think it was SO bad of a job. "The Pig" was trying to suck her in, force her to become one of it's chain smoking, dim witted baby factories. "The Pig" was making an army of them, those that were too dumb or just too tired of life to escape. Fuck "The Pig", fuck him in his pink cartoon asshole. 
She grabbed a bottle of coke and slapped a 20 down in front of the check out girl. Who without glancing up, took and changed the bill. She whispered an empty, "Have a nice night." and handed Trixie the change and receipt.
As Trixie was wandering out into endless night, she turned back to the young cashier. She leaned in do that Trixies lips were nearly pressed to the girl's ears and spoke the exact phrase that a girl about to give her life over to fat America needed to hear,
"It's only temporary, it's only ever temporary."
