Re: Pretty Legs
Ivan the necrophiliac front end loader operator was lonely, deeply and hopelessly lonely. He pined for the day where he would find his malodorous sweetheart to take home and love forever. He had lost all hope when, as he worked mindlessly at his task of moving damp earth a sweet, powerful smell graced his nostrils. "Could it be?", he cautiously asked himself. His mind froze, he hesitated momentarily, and returned the control levers to neutral. He quickly killed the engine and took a long, deep breath of the delightful odor of decomposition. His hard heart began to race, but he didn't let himself imagine that his long lost dream had finally come true. He stepped quickly and deftly from the cab, like the spry and virile young man he was so many years ago. As he stepped in the soft, freshly cut earth he saw them, extending gracefully from the scratched and rusty edge of the once yellow bucket he saw the most beautiful sight of his life. Amanda had once been a schoolteacher, a shapely and kind woman of 34 years of age with alabaster skin sprinkled in brown freckles and deep, powerful blue eyes that shone from under her mane of wavy red hair like the beams of searchlights on a dark night. She had lost her life tragically, in a badminton accident when she swallowed the shuttlecock and her friends had been unable to release it. She slowly choked to death on the feathery, fluttering beast. Her beautiful eyes closed for the last time as she gasped and choked on a bright spring afternoon. It had been seven years almost to the day since her death and her skin had long since turned from the speckled alabaster of glowing youth to the purple, ruddy stain of death. To Ivan, she was the woman of his long lost dream, the woman he had spent a lifetime waiting to love forever. |
