A college freshman finds herself at the hands of a 
serial rapist. She is tied to her own bed, threatened 
with rape or the rape of her two closest girl friends. 
Or is she? A story about video game technology run 
amok. (MF, nc, bd, mc, sci-fi)

EIGHT-BALLED

by Marcia R. Hopper
(marciar26@aol.com)


She had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, a flawless 
complexion, delicate white-girl features, a teenager's 
narrow waist and curvaceous hips. She had slender 
thighs and even more slender calves. Her feet were 
precious. I'm partial to precious feet. Especially 
little white-girl's feet.

"How you doin', honey?" I asked.

Little White Girl wailed and shuddered. She was doing a 
lot of that. She was tied to her bed in her own room, 
no clothes on, her wrists and ankles in leather cuffs 
chained to the bedframe. I had used her panties and bra 
as a makeshift blindfold; her mouth was held open by a 
mouth-ring.

"You know what's this for?" I taunted, tapping the ring 
in her mouth. She wailed some more. "Thas' right," I 
said. "Keep on you' cryin', honey."

I had picked her out last week, shopping at Wal-Mart. 
She was with her mom. Mom was a looker herself, forty 
to forty-five years old. Little White Girl here had her 
hair and her eyes. A real momma's girl, ya know.

I ran my finger down the center of her chest to her 
belly-button. I laughed at her comic shuddering and her 
moaning. She'd give just anything--anything in the 
whole wide world--not to be here right now. Maybe I'd 
give her that chance.

"Little white girl?" I said. 

"Wahhh," she wailed pathetically. Her tongue wagged 
behind the mouth-ring, wet and slug-like. I leaned 
close and blew on her tongue. She recoiled. 

"Listen to me, now," I said. "I'm gonna take this whoo-
jiggy outa you' mouth. You behave or it goes right back 
in. Ya understand me, girl?"

She nodded miserably. I undid the strap from behind her 
head and took out the mouth-ring. Spit had run down her 
cheeks and into her hair. Her nose had run. She started 
blubbering right away: "Please!" "Leave me alone!" 
"Don't hurt me, mister!" "Let me go!" All fit in 
between miserable little sobs. 

I grabbed her chin. "Little white girl! You're not 
listening to me!"

She caterwauled: "Let me go!" and I put the mouth-ring 
back in.

*   *   *

She was a college girl. She came home at four o'clock 
most days, got outta her car and went directly into her 
townhouse. Her momma's townhouse. Sometimes she checked 
the mail. Today I started the van and drove down into 
her court and parked in front of her place. The van 
read Hughes Cable on the side. I had done the lettering 
and the paint job myself. It was outfitted so's a cable 
repairman--much less a cop--couldn't  tell the 
difference. 

I opened the door and went around back, swung open the 
panel doors, and just as natural as you please grabbed 
out a coil-box of wire. Carrying the coil-box and a 
tool belt over my shoulder, I approached the front 
door. The front door opened.

"Oh!" she said, blinking and stepping back. She looked 
all around, the way white girls do faced with a black 
man. "Um, what do you want?" she said, then excused 
herself for her rudeness.

"No problem," I said in my educated black man's voice. 
"Didn't mean to scare you. Are you Mrs. Vanders?"

She looked around again, then shook her head. "She's my 
mother," she said. "I'm Jessica."

"Well, Jessica, are you alone? More importantly, are 
you twenty-one?"

She shook her head again. 

"Well," I said, "if you're alone and you're not twenty-
one, I can't come in." I pulled out a fake work order. 
"It's a service upgrade, so I'll have to come back 
later."

She looked fretful now. "Couldn't you, like, do it on 
the outside or something?"

I shook my head. I smiled patiently at her. "An upgrade 
means fishing cable up through the floor and into the 
bedroom walls." I held out my box of cable. 

Now she looked confused. "I already have cable in my 
bedroom," she said.

"The upgrade is for digital. You have digital cable, 
Jessica?"

"Well, no," she admitted. "I don't think so."

I explained digital would let her see what was playing 
on the different channels, give her a dozen or more 
movie-channels she didn't have, let her start an On 
Demand movie and then pause it to leave the room, or--
and this really got her attention--pause it to answer 
the telephone.

Really?" she said.

"Really."

She looked around one last time, then stood aside. 

"I can't," I said, "Unless you're twenty-one."

"Pretend that I am," she said.

I walked in.

*   *   *

"Ready to try again?"

She made mewling sounds and yanked at the cuffs. "Eease 
eh ee oh!" 

"I'll let you go when I'm ready," I said. "Not before." 
I pulled up my chair and sat down next to her. I said 
to her clearly, "Listen now. Nod if you understand me. 
Do you understand?"

She nodded. 

"Are you going to listen to me?"

She nodded again.

"You gonna be quiet?"

Another nod.

"I'm taking it out again. If you make trouble or start 
bawling--" I slid my hand beneath her rear end for 
emphasis. "--I'll turn you over on this bed, take off 
my belt and beat you until you bleed. Understand that, 
little white girl?" 

She sucked in air and blew it out, then nodded again. I 
took out the mouth-ring.

"What's your name?"

"W-what?

"What's your fuckin' name?"

"Jessica Vanders."

"Where do you live?"

"At--you know where I live!" she wailed. Then, "Sorry! 
I'm sorry! Please don't put that in my mouth again."

I repeated: "Where do you live?"

"1804 Wyoming Court."

"What city?"

"T-Tavenner," she said. 

"Tell me your number."

"307-926--my telephone number?" she wailed in panic.

"Yes," I said, grinning. 

"926-1081."

"Where are you now?"

"In my bedroom?"

"Good," I said, having calmed her down. "Now listen to 
my proposition."

*   *   *

"I can't!" she wailed, terrified again.

"Why not?"

She began to bawl. "Please! Please let me go! I won't 
tell anyone. I prom--"

I grabbed her by the nose. 

"Owwwwww!" she squalled at me.

"Gonna stop?"

"Yes! Let me go! Please!"

I let go her nose and wiped my fingers on her bed 
sheets. What I had offered her was this: Get her best 
two friends on the telephone, invite them over, watch 
me tie them up and rape them. Simple. 

"No!" she pleaded again.

"You can do it," I told her.

"I can't!"

"Stupid bitch."

I picked up her backpack, emptied it on the bed between 
her legs and looked through the stuff. 

"What are you doing?" she sobbed. 

I found a designer-purple electronic organizer with 
pink flowers on the case. Perfect for a fifth grader, I 
thought; the girl was nineteen. I thumbed the On button 
and looked inside.

"What are you doing?" she sobbed again. 

Her list of friends was eighty-five names long, the 
organizer's limit. I scrolled through each entry, 
picking the two most likely based on comments she'd 
made--Forever, next to Kelley Otstott; The Best, next 
to Bonnie Meekins. I said their names out loud.

"No!" she pleaded. "You can't do this to me!"

I said roughly to her: "It's five o'clock now. Momma 
gets home at six. We either do you now, or we do you're 
friends later on. Make your decision, little girl."

She yanked at her restraints, wailed and shook her head 
back and forth. "No!" she began to howl. I forced the 
mouth-ring back in her mouth, secured the ends behind 
her head and told her, "Then let's rock and roll, 
baby."

She began to scream.

*   *   *

She began to scream.

I jumped up and yanked the headset off her ears and 
stood back. She looked wild-eyed around the room, 
sucked in air and screamed again. 

"Easy," I said, trying not to fall on my ass. "You're 
home, Jess, safe. No one's going to get you."

She stared frightfully at me a moment, then with 
dawning horror, then with outrage. "You son of a 
bitch!" she hollered. "How could you do that to me!"

I sat down on the chair. I took off my headset. "I 
warned you, babe. I told you not to do it. You wouldn't 
listen to me, would you?"

She sputtered unintelligently at me a moment, examined 
her wrists and ankles, sat up and flipped me the bird. 
"You prick. You son of a bitch. You moron! How could 
you do that to me?" 

I began to laugh. 

"Jeffrey!"

"Jess--"

"You were raping me!"

"No one was raping you," I said. "It's only a program."

She looked daggers at me, then at the computer, then 
flipped the computer the bird. "I am never," she said, 
getting up with a huff and stomping toward the 
bathroom, "having sex with you again."

*   *   *

I'm despicable. Low-down. A dog. But in the tradition 
of the best horror films, the heroine got away clean. 
What more can you hope for in a horror flick?

"You made this for them?" she demanded. Her head stuck 
out the bathroom door. She shook all over. I shrugged 
and she hissed, "You're more despicable than they are," 
and slammed the door again.

Who is Jess? My girlfriend. Who am I? Not a cable 
repairman, I can tell you that. I develop computer 
software for the government. What Jess experienced was 
the latest interrogation method of . . . well, not the 
CIA. They're too civilized, the CIA. The people I work 
for don't exist. 

In 2001, I helped put online a super-secret, super-
expensive simulation program for the DOD. The 
simulation ran on the most sophisticated super-computer 
ever built, comprising a real-time simulation populace. 
Like the denizens of The Thirteenth Floor, the sims 
suspected nothing. They went about their daily 
electronic business, polishing their electronic apples, 
screwing their electronic partners, not suspecting for 
a moment what comprised them was electrons. A test 
population on which anything could be run. That was 
three years ago. I have made it better since then. I 
made it interactive. I made it available to the People 
Who Don't Exist.

She came out of the bathroom again. Her hands were 
clenched. Color had returned to her cheeks. "You 
miserable bastard," she said and stomped back into the 
bathroom again.

All things considered, I shouldn't have done it. Never 
thought it up, not proposed it to my boss, never pushed 
my agenda. I should never have let Jessica peek at the 
interactive version, but as she said: I'm a miserable 
bastard. 

*   *   *

Today it's just a story. Our kids are safe from psycho-
mayhem at the hands of hacker-rapists. Tomorrow, once 
the technology hits the street, once the game 
developers package it and sell it and put it in the 
neighborhood outlets: Best Buy, Comp-USA . . . Wal-Mart 
. . little stands between us and the scenario described 
above. 

Think it won't happen?

Think again. 


THE END

This short story is based on the movie The Thirteenth 
Floor, or at least the scenario I envision coming from 
it. Sorry if I offended anyone.
