Put it In

She commanded "Put it in."

The reluctant 12 year old boy says "But mom."

She replies "Put it in, all the way in. Good boy, now move it back and forth. Faster, much faster."

He's already going as fast as he dared, he speeds up.

Smiling, she says "Very good, now you know how to brush your teeth properly."


Don't put it in

The eight year old girl looks at her father with tears in her eyes. She begs "Please don't stick that in me daddy, its so big. I'm sure it'll hurt a lot."

With sorrowful eyes, he replies "I'm sorry, but I must. This is for your own good."

The girl screams in horror and pain, as her father, the town's only doctor, slides the tetanus needle into her arm.


The Driver

The 14 year old boy is sitting in the driver's seat, the engine's screaming through the gears; easily drowning out the sound of the police siren. There's a sharp curve leading onto the bridge. He shifts down gears, stomps the throttle, pulling the wheel sharply to the left, as he enters the turn, cutting the corner.

He loses control, the car spins, it flies off the road into the ravine. He screams in pain, caused by the violent blow to his head.

His mother says "This how you waste my hard earned money, on arcade games?" She slaps him again.


Getting Clean

Loren is laying there naked, sweating profusely, her heart pounding, the wood of the seat rough on her bare back. There's nothing she can do, not until he comes. When will he come, he must come soon.

Thank heaven's, he's coming, now.

She hears the attendant say "Hurry up doc, she's having a heart attack in the sauna."


Bedroom Encounter

Feeling in a playful mood, he goes looking for her. He can't find her. Thinking hard, he heads for the bedroom. He was right, she's lying on top of the covers, on her back, legs spread wide, and asleep.

Carefully, quietly, he creeps into the room. Slowly, gently, he climbs onto the bed. He climbs up the bed until his mouth is near her right ear.

With a loud 'woof' Rusty scares Muffin and races out of the room, before the cat has returned to the bed. She takes off after the dog, intent on revenge.
