Crucifying a Farmer's Son
by Kimmie Holland & Meeah Mackenzie
***
Billy is broken on the cross in an old fertility ritual
that still survives today. (MF/m, nc, rp, bd, tor, v,
sn)
***
Billy knelt by the window where he'd been praying all
night. He saw the hot red rim of the sun over the far
field and he knew that his prayer would not be
answered. Another day of scorching drought would
further parch the already withering crops. He heard his
mother's soft knock and the door behind him opened.
"Billy, your pa says its time to get started."
"Yes ma'am," Billy said, trying as hard as he could to
keep the fear out of his voice. He knew how hard this
was on his mom. It had only been six years ago that his
older brother Jimmy had been unlucky enough to be drawn
in the lot during the last drought. It seemed unfair
that two Baker boys should be chosen but that was the
luck of the draw as old Mr. Runk had said when he chose
Billy's name from the drum and announced it aloud at
the camp meeting.
Billy's mom had nearly fainted when she heard his name
called. She gave a little gasp and there were murmurs
of sympathy from the other mothers who rushed to
comfort her but everyone knew how relieved they were
that their own sons hadn't been chosen.
Billy's dad didn't so much as flinch. He kept a stoic
look on his lean, hardened, sunburned face as the other
men pumped his hand and thanked him for his sacrifice
and congratulated him on the honor of having yet
another chosen son.
Yes, Billy had been "chosen."
Only two weeks ago he had been attending university
pursuing a degree in agriculture. He hoped to help
gather enough knowledge of the latest technology in
farm management to help make the family farm prosperous
again and to one day finally banish once and for all
this archaic tradition of blood sacrifice. But what he
learned at school, he realized, would never replace the
old knowledge handed down from generation to
generation, especially when times were tough and the
people inevitably reverted to the old beliefs and
superstitions. The professors he studied under would
never understand what farming was really all about:
hard work, prayer, and sacrifice.
"Billy you weren't awake all night were you?" his
mother asked, with habitual concern. The unspoken truth
was that it hardly made a difference anymore.
"I think I slept a little," Billy lied. "I was just
praying..."
"I know," his mother said sadly. "I prayed too." She
sighed resignedly. "Well, I suppose Pastor Lentz would
say they were answered. Just not the answer we would
have liked to hear. Come on now. Your pa is waiting."
Billy knew she was right. He followed her downstairs to
the kitchen wearing only a tight white thong. It was
all he'd been allowed to wear since the day he'd been
chosen. The idea was to help him get used to the idea
of renouncing this world; if nothing else, being kept
all but naked made it too embarrassing to leaving the
house. There was little need for modesty now. In fact,
all pretense that he was anything other than a sheep
being led to slaughter was all but gone.
Only the day before Miss Mclane from down the road had
come to administer his ritual cleansing. Miss Mclane
was a strapping, matter-of-fact, rawboned woman a full
head taller than Billy. She had never married and had
no children of her own. She owned a small farm which
she operated with the help of hired hands who, it was
said, she ruled with an iron fist.
It was probably for the best that it was someone like
Miss Mclane who was to give Billy his cleansing. She
had seen a lot in her lifetime, was phased by none of
it, and was all business. So when she ordered Billy to
remove his thong he felt only a little shame as she
examined his body the way someone examines a farm
animal. First she shaved what little body hair Billy
had, hosing him down with cold water when she was done,
leaving him huddled and shivering on a patch of straw
in the corner of the barn.
Then came the really humiliating part.
Bent over an old sawhorse, Billy had a hose nozzle
shoved deep inside his bottom. Miss Mclane turned on
the spigot and Billy felt the cold water flushing
through his cramping intestines until his belly began
to bulge. He grimaced at the discomfort and held back
the words begging Miss Mclane to turn off the tap,
knowing it would do no good to beg. Just when he
thought his belly would rupture the taciturn woman
turned off the water and left Billy draped over the
sawhorse with the rubber hose hanging from between his
ass cheeks and moaning from the pain of his twisting
intestines.
Billy had known that this was part of his ordeal. He
remembered when he was sixteen that Jimmy had to
undergo the same preparations from Miss Mclane. His
father had taken him into the barn to see his poor
tormented brother, just as his father had brought
Billy's younger brother to see him suffering the same
ordeal. It was a dreadful sight Billy had never
forgotten, so he knew what he must have looked like to
Davey bent over the sawhorse the way he was, belly
distended, hose dangling from between his asscheeks
like a tail, groaning in agony.
Billy had begged his father not to have to undergo the
humiliating ritual of the internal cleansing. He had
been on a diet strictly of bread and water for the last
two weeks and he even promised to swear off the bread
if he could be spared the embarrassment of the hose.
His father flatly denied his request.
"You don't want to go shaming yourself and this family
up on that cross boy," he said. "It's bad enough when
you lose your water. But that's only natural. Can't be
avoided. But the other can be and will be. Not another
word about it."
Billy knew there was no arguing. Besides, his father
was right. Billy did not want to shame himself any more
than was absolutely necessary. After all, everyone
would be there watching. He wanted to die with as much
dignity as possible. And if that meant suffering the
present indignities of Miss Mclane's ministrations then
so be it. At least she went about her business so
efficiently that he hardly felt she even saw him as a
human being.
At long last, shivering in spite of the unbearable heat
and drenched in sweat, Miss Mclane permitted him to
relieve himself in the big tin basin slid between his
splayed legs for just that purpose. Without ceremony,
she yanked the hose from inside his ass.
God, it felt so good to relax his sphincter. Billy
blushed from head to toes as the stinky brown water
poured from inside him, carrying with it all the filth
and impurity of his sinful body.
The pastor was right: the body was a temple of
defilement. He hoped that somehow Miss Mclane could not
smell the stench over the smell of cow manure in the
hot barn but he doubted very much he'd been spared the
humiliation of stinking. Well at least she was so
hardened to her work that she didn't make it any worse
by any nasty comments.
Billy was subjected to two more rounds of cleansing
until the water that ran out of him was just as clean
as the water put into him. From that moment on, he was
not to touch another solid piece of food. The only
thing permitted him was distilled water. He could have
as much of that as he liked. In fact, it seemed that
the more water he drank the better chance he stood of
lasting long enough to make a fine sacrifice.
It was after the cleansing that Miss Mclane clapped the
cage on him. Billy had known this was coming, too.
After all, it wouldn't do to have him going off
screwing around like a rabbit, which, as he very well
knew, he and Tammy Sue would have done, once he'd been
chosen to die. He needed to save his seed for the
ceremony; it would be a sin to spill even a drop of his
precious fluid in mere carnal lust.
If Miss Mclane hadn't been old enough to be his mother,
and if he hadn't just undergone the humiliating ordeal
of the cleansing, Billy might have been even more
ashamed than he was to have his genitals handled by
this gruff, matter-of-fact spinster. As it was, he
responded to her rough touch almost immediately even in
spite of himself. However, one hard squeeze of her red,
chapped hand, "corrected" him instantly. He deflated
immediately and Miss Mclane had no more trouble
stuffing him into the cage and locking it tight. Miss
Mclane allowed him to put on his thong again and that
was that. He'd have no more erections until the day of
his sacrifice.
Billy had gotten so used to wearing just the thong
around the house—and his family had grown so used to
seeing him in it—that he was hardly aware of his
nakedness anymore. His father approved, thinking that
Billy's weakening inhibitions showed that he had
totally accepted his fate and that he was full of the
faith. Billy only wished he was full of the faith. It
would make what he was about to undergo that much
easier. But the truth was that he was painfully riddled
with doubts. He felt so guilty about these doubts that
he mentioned them to Pastor Lentz during their private
conversations.
The pastor was kind and understanding and told him it
was perfectly natural to feel the way Billy did. Even
Christ, the pastor said, had his moment of doubt on
Gethsemane. It would pass, the pastor assured Billy
once he was raised up to the heavens and saw the
appreciation of those gathered around to pray for him.
The preacher spoke with so much passion and conviction
that Billy wanted to believe him but it was not the
pastor who was about to be sacrificed. How did he know
what Billy would feel when he was finally "raised up to
the heavens?"
Billy had wept bitterly during his last "confession"
with Pastor Lentz. No one had told him what to expect
and for sure he'd never tell anyone either it was so
shameful; it was bad enough that the Church Elders all
knew, that they'd all witnessed, and worst of all, each
had taken a hand in his humiliation.
One by one, starting with the pastor himself, they took
their turn instilling within Billy the "Holy Spirit."
This they did with Billy bent over a special altar in
the chapel and his asshole anointed with special oils.
The pain of the first two or three cocks was
excruciating, but after that he'd become so stretched
out back there, his asshole and cheeks so slippery with
cum, Billy became numb both mentally and physically to
the repeated assaults on his virgin bud.
By the time his father's turn came around, Billy was
practically in an altered state of mind. He might not
ever have known it was his father who fucked him last
if he hadn't heard one of the other Elders use his name
and the man standing behind and over Billy answer in
his father's voice. And then there was something about
those hard hands and rough fingers splayed over his
pale smooth ass, something familiar and knowing. He
felt his father's big horny thumbs digging into his
tender flesh and pulling open Billy's torn, swollen,
gummed-up asshole.
Then his father's fat cock, seemingly the biggest of
them all, plunged straight into Billy's bowels and his
father started fucking him so hard Billy was moaning
and babbling half out of his mind. Meanwhile Pastor
Lentz was carefully writing down whatever Billy said.
"Speaking in tongues," the pastor called it, and
Billy's hysterical monologue would be carefully studied
later for clues about the future harvest and then
stored away forever in the church archives, where for
ever after it would become a part of the town's long
history.
"Your father's out back," his mother said as Billy
padded barefoot into the kitchen. Her voice was tight
and he could hear her choking back her emotions. Billy
paused for a moment, hoping she would say something to
make it better, but there was nothing to say. "Better
get on out there," was all his mother said.
Billy stepped forward to give his mother a last kiss,
but she held up a hand to ward him off.
"Be brave Billy," she said. "Make me proud."
"Yes ma'am."
So that's the way it was to be, Billy thought,
bitterly. Even his own mother rejected him now. Well,
perhaps, it was better that way. No messy emotions.
Everyone had taken leave of him in their hearts. To
each and every one of them, he was already dead. Billy
felt his eyes burn and fought back the tears. Dead to
everyone...but himself. He didn't feel dead, not yet.
But the moment he opened the door to the yard and saw
his father waiting another of Billy's last remaining
hopes flickered out.
Pa was dressed as usual in his bib overalls and work
boots. But this morning Billy found him waiting with a
long cord of rough hemp in his rough, reddened hands.
He was looking down and Billy could not see the
expression on his face. Ever since the night of his
last confession, Billy could hardly help but notice
that his father could hardly bear to look at him.
Whenever he did, his father wore a jeering unpleasant
expression; it was the same look of mocking disgust
that his father always wore when talking about "fags"
and "queers" and "sissies." As if Billy were to blame
for the gang rape he'd endured...as if he were
responsible for his own father fucking him in the ass!
Still, Billy couldn't help but burn with shame; had his
father seen the way his caged cock strained to become
erect while the men fucked him? How, in spite of its
restraint, his organ grew swollen and moist with
juices, like a fruit about to burst its seed? And at no
time more than when his father plunged his big thick
cock into Billy's ass.
Maybe Billy was a fag, after all. Maybe that's why he'd
been chosen to die. Perhaps the Lord really did abhor a
homosexual, just as Pastor Lentz had said.
"Come on. Let's get on with this boy," Pa said gruffly.
Billy took a deep steadying breath, stepped forward,
and held out his hands, wrists together. Perhaps by
facing his fate with courage Billy could win back the
old man's respect. His father quickly looped the
scratchy hemp around Billy's wrists and pulled it taut,
cinching Billy's hands so tightly he felt his fingers
tingle with the sudden lack of blood.
"Walk," his father barked, in the same voice he'd use
to a farm animal being led to the butcher. He nearly
yanked Billy off his feet with the lead on the rope.
His father's boots crunched effortlessly over the hot
gravel of the path but it was difficult for Billy to
keep up the pace in his bare feet. Dressed almost
identically to their father, Davey was following
closely behind, idly kicking stones with his boots, and
playing with the Gameboy he'd inherited from his soon-
to-be-dead brother.
Billy remembered the conversation they'd had only a few
days ago, when all this seemed like a dream there was
still time to wake from. Davey had wanted to know if
Billy was scared and if what they were going to do to
him would hurt. Billy tried to be as honest as possible
without scaring Davey or causing his little brother any
unnecessary worry. He said that it would probably hurt
some but that it would all be worth it for the good of
the community which was more important than any one
person's life. He told his little brother that it was
an honor to be chosen. Yes, he admitted, he was a
little scared but Pastor Lentz himself told Billy that
it was only natural to be a little scared. But that
Jesus Himself would help him in his hour of need.
It was more or less the same talk Billy had six years
ago with his older brother Jimmy. Now he knew what
Jimmy had really felt on the eve of his sacrifice and
knew how he'd been trying to spare Billy's feelings
just as Billy was now trying to spare his brother's.
Well, it must have worked, because Davey was trudging
along behind them, seemingly without a care in the
world, totally engrossed in the action on his Gameboy.
Davey was the lucky one in the family. As the third and
last son, his name would not be put into the drawing,
if another drawing ever became necessary, when he came
of age. No, god willing, he'd survive to full manhood
and reap the fruits that grew from the earth watered by
Billy's sacrifice. The farm and all that came with it
would be passed on to him. The community would never
dream of taking a man's last surviving son.
For Davey, it was all just another holiday, another day
off from school. The day his brother Billy was raised
up to the heavens.
Billy looked off to the left and saw the fallow field
where just yesterday he'd helped his father dig his own
grave. The graves were only tentatively marked with
plain brown stones, one at the head of each otherwise
invisible grave. Each stone bore only the tiniest
scratch marks to indicate who'd been buried where, and
when. The graveyard was a strictly-kept community
secret. It was only marked at all so that the family of
the dead could come and plant wildflowers on it and
also so that the Elders knew where to dig the next
grave.
Anyone passing would never recognize the field as a
cemetery.
Billy's grave would be right next to his brother
Jimmy's. The field itself was communal property and one
day, when it was filled, it would be plowed and
planted, its crop fertilized by the bodies of all the
young men buried there, the profit evenly divided among
the farmers who'd given up sons to the community.
Billy's father would get two portions now.
The sun was nearly at its zenith, high and hot, as it
had been for the last three months. Billy was pulled
along a path that gave him a grim view of the reason it
was necessary he be sacrificed: field upon blistered
field of wilting corn, drooping alfalfa, scorched
barley. As they walked, Billy realized that folks from
other farms had stopped what they were doing to watch
him pass. Some began to follow and others joined the
growing processional. Soon what seemed like the whole
community—men, women, children, and even a few farm
dogs—had gathered at the crossroads post where Billy,
according to custom, was to be ritualistically
scourged.
He could hear the people talking excitedly all around
him. They were discussing the weather, mostly, how hot
it was, how the forecast had predicted more heat, how
the crops were done-for. But he also heard the hopeful
remarks that their sacrifice would be accepted and the
naïve certainty in their voices made Billy feel proud
in spite of himself and distracted him a little from
the terrible ordeal to come.
By the time they reached the crossroads post Billy was
thirsty, dirty, and sweaty. His poor battered feet made
every step he took a torture. He was almost glad to be
able to stop, even if it meant the promise of fresh
pain soon to come. While he caught his breath, his
father threaded the rope binding his wrists through the
high iron ring in the crossroads post and pulled Billy
up on his sore and dusty tiptoes. His father tied the
rope tight to an eyebolt buried in the ground several
feet away and that forced Billy's belly to pressed
against the rough wood of the post.
Pastor Lentz was there, wearing dark glasses and his
black Sunday suit. He recited from a special book of
prayers but everyone knew it was all just a preamble to
the real business at hand—the ceremony they'd all
gathered together to see. It was Mr. Jenkins, the
mechanic and jack-of-all-trades, who would deliver the
forty blows. They couldn't have made a better choice if
it was there intention to make Billy suffer. Mr.
Jenkins was a huge man, six-foot-six and well over
three hundred pounds of hard-packed fat and dense
muscle; he wasted no time getting to his work.
No sooner was the last "amen" out of the pastor's mouth
than Billy felt the bullwhip slash his back. There was
no need to make any effort to hold back his cry of
pain; the horrible shock of how badly it hurt had
crushed even his ability to beg for mercy.
The second blow hurt even worse than the first. Billy
couldn't imagine how he'd ever survive forty blows! He
had no doubt he was going to die right there on the
post. He wished he could. Would that render the
sacrifice void? Would he have died for nothing? At that
point, Billy didn't care. The heavy whip came down
again, and then again, wrapping itself halfway round
his body, its tip flicking a nipple, or catching one of
his balls, and causing him to bleed wherever it touched
his tender skin.
Billy futilely tried to dance away from the worst of
the blows, but being on tiptoe and so tightly bound,
avoidance was all but impossible. Billy felt the whip
dig into his thighs and buttocks, ripping through the
thin material of his thong, until it hung from his
narrow hips in bloody tatters, which lewdly fluttered
and twitched with every step of his dance of pain.
Billy was certain that he heard his mother crying out
over the admiring murmur of the crowd as Mr. Jenkins
worked himself and his whip into an easy, regular
rhythm. There was a moment of almost blissful pause
between blows, which Billy learned to savor, and then
the whip fell again, crashing over him with a fresh
wave of blistering pain. The sheen of sweat that Billy
had worked up on the walk to the post only added a new
dimension to his agony as it seeped into the great
bloody slashes on his naked back and thighs.
It was possible that he blacked out for parts of the
whipping. Billy couldn't be sure; the ordeal seemed to
last an eternity in any event. His knees had buckled
several times and left him dangling from his bound
wrists, his arms bearing his full weight until they
felt like they were being pulled from their sockets. He
struggled to regain his footing if only to take away
the pain in his arms. But that effort was rewarded only
with another crack of the whip across his back. He
thought he could hear Pastor Lentz counting out the
blows. He tried to make out the numbers 38, 39, 40. It
seemed to Billy that they would never come.
In the end, Billy leaned forward and pressed his sweaty
forehead to the post where so many other young men had
pressed theirs before him. He had survived. Somehow he
had survived. He felt Pastor Lentz symbolically lash
his flaming back one extra stroke with a handful of
nettles and then shake the blood in all four directions
over the gathered crowd while muttering an invocation.
Billy gritted his teeth against the pain. Yes, he had
survived the scourging. But that was hardly anything to
celebrate. He'd only earned the privilege of suffering
some more. What awaited him now there was absolutely no
chance of surviving.
Billy was released from the post and his hands were
retied behind his back. Then another rope was tied
around his neck and he was led to the sacrificial
meadow where he would be raised up to the heavens.
This time, though, he was not pulled brutally along.
His leash had been given to his old English teacher,
Mr. Carmichael, another Church Elder. Mr. Carmichael
led him along at an almost leisurely pace. The cool
grass felt so good under Billy's hot bare feet and the
green shade of the meadow helped soothe the flaming
pain raging across his bloodied back. Yet even in spite
of the leisurely pace, Billy stumbled once, for which
transgression Mr. Carmichael pulled on his bound
wrists, but not altogether unkindly. Billy scrambled to
his feet as best he could. He didn't want to disappoint
Mr. Carmichael in return for his kindness.
It was turning out to be one of the hottest days of
this brutally hot summer and Billy was parched with
thirst. He remembered what he'd been told about
drinking lots of water, how it would help him last
longer. He wasn't worried about lasting longer right
now. He just wanted to ease the torture—only one of
many he was suffering—of the infernal thirst raging
inside him.
At last they came to the place in the meadow where for
centuries the community gathered to make their
sacrifice to god and there Billy saw the cruel
instrument that would raise him to the heavens. It was
a large, heavy cross made of an ancient rough-hewn wood
and darkened with the sweat and blood of those
innumerable victims before him who'd been, including
his own brother Jimmy.
"Let the sacrifice appear naked before the Lord,"
Pastor Lentz intoned.
Mr. Carmichael came up and pulled away what was left of
Billy's bloodied and shredded thong. Then he took a
small key from his pocket and undid the lock on Billy's
cock-cage. Billy's organ, damp and wrinkled, but so
long neglected, started to engorge at his English
teacher's most imperceptible touch. Billy was now
completely naked and half-erect in front of the crowd.
He should have been embarrassed, but he was beyond
shame now. To his family, his friends, and his
neighbors, he no longer had a name or an identity. He
wasn't even a human being anymore; he was a naked
sacrifice and he knew what that meant.
He had only a purpose: to die and bring rain.
Now Mr. Carmichael and Mr. Jenkins took him up by the
arms and led him unresisting to the cross that had been
laid down in the grass. Billy didn't need to be told
what to do. He knelt beside the cross and said a
prayer, a prayer apparently longer than necessary,
because Mr. Carmichael and Mr. Jenkins picked him up
bodily and laid him back on the rough wood before he
was even finished.
It was almost pleasant to be lying there after what
he'd been through, although the splintered wood dug
into the flesh of his wounded back. They untied Billy's
hands one more time and retied his wrists to the to the
arms of the cross. Then they did the same thing with
his ankles, bending his knees upwards so that the torn
soles of his bare feet rested flat on a small
triangular-shaped wedge of wood. Billy had planned to
close his eyes for the next part but somehow he just
couldn't. He turned his head and watched in morbid
fascination as Mr. Jenkins place a thick iron nail
against his wrist.
Pastor Lentz had begun reading from his black book
again and the hammer fell.
Billy was instantly blinded by a wall of white pain.
The hammer fell again and Billy nearly passed out.
Nauseous, he stared in mute amazement at the end of the
big spike protruding from his wrist. There was
something unreal about it all, as if what he was seeing
couldn't possibly be happening. The spell was broken
only by the pain shooting up his right arm as a second
spike was nailed through his other wrist.
Billy's first reflex was to pull his arm away but, of
course, it was literally nailed firmly in place. He
turned his head wildly to and fro to see the heads of
the big spikes pinning his wrists to the wood. He
didn't even think to resist when he felt them setting
the points of the unforgiving the spikes against the
tops of his bound feet.
The blows fell one after another, sending shock waves
of pain up his legs, into his hips, all the way to the
roots of his teeth. He felt as if the bones of his feet
were being crushed, which in fact they were, and he
wondered if it did start to rain, and by some miracle
they let him down, if he was already crippled for life.
As he was needlessly worrying about spending the rest
of his life a cripple, several men rushed up to lift
the cross from the grass and set it in the pre-dug
hole. The sensation of being lifted, the pain caused by
involuntarily sagging against the spikes, and the
sudden drop into the hole made Billy puke a little. He
remembered with relief that he really had nothing in
his belly to throw up. He spit up a little bile and
that was all.
It was midday and Billy hung in the center of the
meadow, the shadows thrown by his cross making
divinatory patterns on the ground, like a great sun
dial. It was still early in his crucifixion so he had
the strength to lift himself up and draw some air
before sagging back down on his brutally ruined feet.
Still, each time he pulled himself up, he already felt
himself growing weaker. Of course, the heat only made
it worse. Billy was fair-skinned and had to take extra
precaution against the sun when he worked the fields—
something his father had always belittled him for. Now
he was naked and the sun burned his white flesh
mercilessly.
And then there was the obscenely protruding knob of
wood which, Billy's body nailed just-so, was positioned
to push into his stretched-out rectum every time he
sagged down to regain his strength. Up and down, up and
down, as he struggled, shimmied, and fought against his
crucifixion, Billy was unavoidably fucking himself in
the ass with the wooden phallus, putting on a show of
unmistakable lewdness for everyone to see.
His hair was matted with the sweat that ran unresisted
into his eyes, sizzling and blinding him with pain. And
yet he still saw too much.
There, watching him intently, a pert little smile on
her pretty face, was Tammy Sue in a halter top and
shorts, her soft pretty feet in a pair of flat sandals,
her toenails painted bright red to match her lipstick.
Standing next to her was Ned Taylor and seeing Billy's
pained glance momentarily flick their way Ned made sure
that Billy saw him throw a possessive arm around her.
For a moment, even the appalling pain of the
crucifixion vanished—replaced by a greater anguish.
Tammy Sue was his girl. Well, she was his girl until
his name was picked and he'd been married to this
cross. Now Billy had no right to any girl. He had been
raised up to heaven.
Unless...he could make it rain.
Billy had no reason to think so, perhaps it was just
wishful thinking, but he told himself that they might
let him down if only it would rain before he died. If
it rained, he wouldn't have to die, right? He'd never
seen or heard of such a thing happening, but Pastor
Lentz hadn't outright said it couldn't. So that meant
there was a chance, didn't it?
The pastor was now exhorting Billy to pray that he
would make an acceptable sacrifice but Billy was hardly
paying him any attention. He was staring up at the
pitiless sky and begging it to rain. He hardly knew
what words he was mumbling through his pain. Just so
long as the dark clouds arrived to save him from this
torment.
Meanwhile the crowd dwindled, returned, dwindled again.
They came in groups and singly, in cars and pick-ups,
on tractors and on foot. They had a smoke, talked
politics or sports; others even made a family picnic
out of it. More than a few came up to take a closer
look, watching as Billy struggled on the cross. And it
was a struggle. Alarmingly, his strength was draining
away faster than he could have expected.
He had lost all sense of time, but by the way the sun
was moving overhead he figured he'd been on the cross
for nearly three hours. He was having a lot of
difficulty now lifting himself up to take a sip of hot
air. More and more of his time was now spent virtually
seated on the wood phallus which set deep inside his
bowels. He was so frightfully thirsty. He begged nearly
everyone who approached him for something to drink but
with no success.
He was happy to see Tammy Sue disentangle himself from
Ned's grasp and sashay coquettishly to the foot of his
cross. She was holding a pair of her panties in one
small fist which she'd soaked in Coke. These she
speared on the end of a pitchfork and held up to his
cracked lips.
Billy sucked greedily and thankfully on his ex-
girlfriend's panties. For a moment he felt better, but
then the pain seemed to hit him twice as hard.
"Oh god...please...please...rain..."
Billy croaked out the words, his voice barely audible,
like a hot wind through dead stalks...
Billy's ordeal continued for some hours to come. People
continued to come and go. Billy's father didn't stay
long. He had a trip to make for fertilizer and
pesticides. Pastor Lentz and Billy's mother stayed
longer than anyone, but even they took a break every
hour or so. Among those who didn't spend much time
watching him die was Tammy Sue. Billy's heart sunk when
he saw her heading off, hand-in-hand, with Ned Taylor.
They climbed into his brand-new Corvette and Billy
figured it would be the last time he ever saw her.
Then, some time later, he was brought out of his
agonized stupor by a soft voice coming from below his
disfigured and sunburned feet.
"Billy are you still alive?"
"Yes," Billy said, startled by the rasp of his own
voice. He'd had to use almost all his strength to back
his way up the cross to speak.
"You are going to die soon, you know."
"I know," Billy said, and tears ran down his stiff and
painfully sunburned face.
She grinned slyly. "I'd give you more soda but I'm not
wearing any panties."
"s'okay," Billy whispered hoarsely. Even though he was
literally dying of thirst, not to mention slow
asphyxiation, it was no use trying to get anything to
stay in his stomach. The last time his mother had tried
to give him a drink, he'd almost immediately suffered
the most terrible cramps and thrown it all up.
"Maybe this will help," Tammy Sue said, still grinning
her sly sexy smile. She stepped forward and reached up
towards Billy's groin. Very gently, she cupped his hot
swollen balls in her soft hands. With her long cool
fingers, she began stroking his cock just like she used
to do when they went to the movies on Friday nights.
They had rarely gone farther than that and Billy sorely
regretted it now that he hadn't been more insistent.
But then, he'd thought he had all the time in the
world. Patience was a virtue... so he'd been taught.
"How's that feel," Tammy Sue asked in her innocent
babydoll voice, but she was far from innocent. She knew
exactly what she was doing. The evidence of that was
jutting up from Billy's groin.
Billy was surprised that even in spite of the pain and
his dire condition he was fully erect. Maybe even
stranger was the fact that he wasn't in the least bit
ashamed to be naked and fully aroused in front of the
small crowd who happened to be gathered at that hour of
the day, among them his grieving mother. He was beyond
that kind of concern now. In fact, he was only dimly
aware of anyone but Tammy Sue smiling up at him from
the base of his cross, fondling his genitals, adding
ecstatic waves of pleasure to his pain. The small
gathering had noticed Billy stirring on the cross and
drew closer, buzzing with renewed interest.
Tammy Sue stared thoughtfully for a few moments at the
spikes driven through the tops of Billy's feet, the
blood dried and still dripping between his toes.
When she looked up at her ex-boyfriend's puffy, sweaty,
pain-and-lust filled face, she had an expression of
barely suppressed excitement, her eyes sparkling,
electric.
"That must really hurt," she said.
"Oh god it hurts so bad," Billy groaned.
"I'm sorry Billy," Tammy Sue then said out of the blue.
"I really am. But I have to go."
"Go?" Billy croaked. The word hardly held any sense to
him under the circumstances.
"Yeah, sorry." She instantly dropped her hands from his
crotch.
"Please... don't," Billy rasped. He had to fight for
each word, each one costing him one of the last
precious breaths he needed to stay alive. "Please...
stay... with... me..."
"I can't," Tammy Sue chirped in a cheery voice. She
reached behind her neck and re-tied the bow of her
halter top, pulling it a bit tighter under her tits,
baring a little more of her sexy tummy. Billy stared
down hopelessly into the sweet cleavage between the
snowy white mounds of her young breasts. "Ned's taking
me on a picnic with his family and then he's taking me
to go shopping at the new mall in Briscoe. Anyway, I
hope to see you later. Please promise me you won't die
before then."
Billy watched, shocked and speechless, as Tammy Sue
walked off through the tall grasses surrounding the
meadow and into the trees. She'd answered her cellphone
and was no chattering happily away with one of her
friends, maybe even Ned himself.
Life goes on.
Billy raised himself up on the cross with what seemed
all of his remaining strength. The wood slid a little
way out of his ass. The nails ripped and reopened the
wounds in his feet and hands.
"Oh god, this is so unfair," he shouted to the blazing
skies. "Why me? Why me?"
Minister Lentz tried to provide some scriptural answers
to this eternal existential question but Billy wasn't
listening. He was too lost in pain and grief. All the
religious explanations in the world sounded like so
much gibberish to him. This whole ritual was foolish.
He'd been to the university. He knew there were other
ways to survive a drought. This tradition was based on
nothing but superstition and stupidity. There was no
point to it at all. There was no god. He would die for
nothing.
"I hate you god, I hate you!"
"You are going through the moment of extreme doubt,"
the pastor intoned dogmatically. He was used to these
blasphemous outbursts from crucified boys and like to
think that he knew how to coach them back into a more
reverent attitude before they gave up the ghost. "Let
it flow through you," advised. "This, too, shall pass.
Didn't Jesus Himself feel forsaken by His Father at the
moment of His greatest tribulation on the cross?"
"Oh god," Billy groaned, desperate for some corner of
sanctuary to escape from his suffering. "Help me..."
His early years of religious conditioning and
unquestioning faith were at last kicking in. There are
no atheists in foxholes, it's been said; there aren't
many nailed to the top of crosses either. Maybe the
reverend is right, Billy thought. I am just having a
moment of doubt. I must find my faith. If I am going to
die up here, anyway, I should at least do so in the
belief that it will serve some greater purpose.
Something more important than just myself. And maybe,
just maybe, if I pray hard enough it will rain...and
they'll let me down.
Almost to the very end, Billy could not help but hope
that at the penultimate moment the Lord would let the
bitterest cup of all pass from his lips. Billy was,
after all, only human...
He shouted out to the blazing hot sky. "Oh please god
almighty in heaven let it rain! Please let it rain!"
It was a desperate hope, as most hopes are, but hope
(and prayer) were all that Billy had left.
The pain in his wrists and ankles had spread until his
whole body throbbed with an unendurable agony refreshed
with each and every heartbeat. He hardly had the
strength to lift himself up on his blood-soaked toes to
draw air. He mumbled incoherently. Sometimes out loud--
if he had any breath--but mostly inside his own mind.
He heard his mother, at last giving way to emotion,
weeping piteously beneath him. His body was soaked with
sweat even now that the sun had declined beyond the
fallow field of sacrificial graves to the west. His
body was wracked with violent chills and seizures. His
teeth chattered. Perhaps he sensed it; perhaps not. He
was dying.
Many of the townsfolk had now returned, their chores
for the day done, having heard that Billy was passing
over. They began to sing hymns of thanksgiving and
praise to the Lord. A bonfire was lit to warm them from
the night chill. The first stars pierced the slowly
purpling sky. Cider was passed out; candied apples for
the children. Tammy Sue was back and Ned Taylor had his
arm around her slender waist, bare under the denim
jacket she now wore, pulling her close. Billy's eyes
fluttered open and a look of sweet gratitude that she'd
returned gave his features, though tortured, a look of
almost feminine beauty.
He knew that Tammy's tiny wrists and delicate feet
would never know the cruel devastation of the iron
spikes and he was glad for that. He was even glad that
Ned was an only son in a family of girls. He wouldn't
wish the pain he felt now on anyone; and Tammy Sue
obviously found comfort in his arms. God bless them.
Let his death enrich their lives, too. Let it make them
happy. Let it make the entire community prosper.
Billy's father was one of those who had returned. He'd
concluded his business unexpectedly early and had
returned in time to see his son die. Tonight the boys
at the bar would spot him to as many drinks as he could
get down. Good times, not to be missed. It wasn't every
day a man had the honor. He'd had it twice and now
never again.
He hadn't even had time to change his clothes. They
said the boy was going fast. Figures, the faggot. He
wasn't forgetting how the boy had responded to that...
damn, what did the preacher call it?... instilling the
Holy Spirit, something like that... a gangbang up the
poop-chute is what it was. A good old-fashioned corn-
holing and the boy took to it like he'd had that road
traveled before. Queer as a hen with horns the boy was.
Knew it for a long time now, too. He didn't mind losing
him, not at all, and was glad the pastor didn't stand
on ceremony when he suggested fixing the lottery so
that Billy was chosen.
Now, with half the community watching, Tammy Sue once
again stepped forward from the crowd. Everyone knew
that she and Billy had been something of an item a
while back in high school and many fully expected they
would marry as soon as Billy graduated college. But
Tammy Sue being a ripe girl and all—well, it wasn't
natural to expect her to wait.
Besides, she let it out to just one or two friends and
from there it got around that Billy wasn't exactly all-
man. He had this thing for Tammy Sue's panties, see. He
liked to get into them. Just like all the boys, you
say? Not quite. He liked to get into them just like a
girl gets into them. Well, that wasn't Tammy Sue's
things. She was all-girl and she liked them all-boy.
Enter Ned Taylor.
Country people were not sexual prudes contrary to
popular belief. They see sex all the time. In the
fields. In the barns. It's as natural to them as the
rain—and as necessary. And, when it came to ritual, of
course, there was nothing off-limits. So they all
watched with a mixture of sage appreciation and barely
suppressed excitement as Tammy Sue shucked off her
denim jacket and, in nothing but her revealing halter,
daisy dukes, and sandals walked slowly and sexily
towards the cross where the suffering boy was now in
the process of dying. She reached up and took Billy's
limp cock in her soft white hand.
This time she wasn't just trying to revive him or keep
his spirits up-it was far too late for that. Billy's
skin was burned an all-over bright pink, as if he'd
been boiled, and he now made only the most rudimentary
and occasional attempts to push himself up for air. No,
this time Tammy Sue wasn't engaging her doomed ex-
boyfriend in a little playful sexual teasing. This time
her job was to bring Billy orgasm. To get him to
voluntarily give it up—his seed and his life.
Tammy Sue took him in her small velvety hand and stared
up into Billy's tortured face.
She was actually quite taken aback. He looked
positively awful, but Tammy Sue forced herself to smile
anyway.
"Try to relax and enjoy this Billy," she said, with
unaccustomed seriousness. "We need you to do this for
us."
Tammy Sue gave a first-rate handjob and her technique
did not fail her now. She began by slowly tickling the
underside of Billy's glans; his penis responding in
spite of his dire physical condition. As one, the crowd
murmured its approval. The appreciative murmur grew
steadily louder as Billy's erection began to build. It
was a miracle—the crucified boy was fully erect, rock
hard, his cock straining upwards from his tightened
ball-sack even as he gasped for air, essentially
suffocating.
Tammy now had her hand gripped firmly around Billy's
shaft and was slowly pumping his cock, the pad of one
thumb on the little "trigger" of flesh just beneath the
glans. Billy felt wave after wave of pleasurable
sensation bathing his pelvis and spreading its euphoric
warmth inexorably over the rest of his suffering,
broken body. He felt an immense gratitude to the glory
of the Lord—and, of course, his instrument of grace:
Tammy Sue.
He had only one thought: please don't let me die before
I come. His body stiffened in the grip of pleasure and
that drove him up on his bloody tiptoes. He stayed
there as long as he could and took one last deep gulp
of oxygen.
Tammy Sue sensing how close Billy was to coming
signaled to Miss Mclane who quickly strode forward with
a special lambskin sheath to fit over Billy's cock.
"Hurry or he'll lose it," the older woman said between
her teeth, though Billy well beyond hearing anything at
this point.
Tammy Sue didn't need to be told. She vigorously pumped
Billy's swollen—and now condom-encased—cock and felt
him stiffen again, arching his spine, and throwing
himself backward against the cross in spite of the
devastating pain it cause his pierced hands and feet.
The first jet of semen hissed satisfying into the
condom. Tammy Sue felt the sudden warmth of the rubber.
The second jet of cum was even stronger and more
copious than the first. Tammy Sue gave a gleeful little
cry. The crowd around echoed her excitement.
The pain his orgasmic spasm caused him forced Billy to
cry out sharply—but whether in pain or pleasure he
could no longer tell, the two were so perfectly married
as one, just as he was to his cross. Thy will be done,
Billy thought, as he squirted into the rubber, each
convulsive wave of pleasure-pain a small ecstasy as
Tammy Sue pumped the last bit of semen from his rapidly
deflating cock. When she was certain that Billy was
drained at last she let go and Miss Mclane stepped in
to remove the condom in her typically brusque efficient
fashion. Miss Mclane handed the little sack of creamy
semen to Minister Lentz who declared it the seed that
heaven sent down to refertilize their fields.
With such seed in hand, the Lord surely intended that
the rain would follow soon.
The pastor said more, it was what pastors did at times
like this, to make it all official but Billy heard
little of the preacher's words. He was still trying to
struggle upwards for breath, at least in his mind, for
his body was finished. He was still hoping against hope
he could somehow, miraculously, survive. But it was not
to be.
He heard the men conferring with his father and it was
decided that it was time for Billy to be raised up to
the sky in spirit as well as flesh. Mr. Jenkins came up
with a short, thick iron pipe. Billy heard his mother
wail but her cry was only briefly audible, spiking
momentarily, and then quickly drowned in the cheers
from the crowd. This is what they'd all been waiting
for.
The sun was just a sliver of red in the west. Just the
opposite of what Billy had seen that morning. It had
all come full circle. It seemed so appropriate. That
was the thought he had when Mr. Jenkins swung the short
iron pipe twice. Each time breaking one of Billy's legs
at the knee caps.
Billy gasped, all the air forced from his lungs. He'd
bitten through his tongue and blood warmed his lips. He
could no longer shimmy up the cross to gain any air,
either to breathe or beg for mercy...not even to pray.
The wooden cock, the god's cock, as he came to think of
it, was now buried to the base in his ass. Billy looked
once towards his father. The old man's face was
taciturn and stoic to the end, giving up nothing. He
glanced at his little brother Davey, who was watching
him the way he would something cool on television. He
glanced over to his mom, who was already proudly
beaming, being congratulated by the other women of her
circle. She must be so proud of her son...
And last, but not least, Billy scanned crowd at his
feet for Tammy Sue. When he picked her out, she was
smiling serenely, looking at him, but her shapely body
pressed cozily against Ned's.
So that was that. Well, then, so be it.
No longer strong enough to hold it up, Billy let his
head fall to his chest. At least no one could see his
face at such a humiliating moment. For the pressure in
his bladder had built up to the point where he knew the
inevitable was about to occur. Maybe such modesty was
misplaced at a time like this, after all that had
already happened, and so much of it witnessed by so
many people...but Billy was hardly in a rational state
of mind.
He remembered his father telling him that he didn't
want to embarrass himself on the cross. By which the
old man meant he didn't want Billy shitting himself in
front of everyone. And now Billy was thankful for the
fast he'd been made to observe, for Miss Mclane's
enemas, even for the thick phallic wood buried in his
bowels since they would all help to spare him the final
humiliation of making a smelly mess on himself in front
of everyone. It was bad enough that he felt the hot
piss burning the already burned skin between his
thighs, running over his straining calves, splashing,
already cold, on his pierced feet and bloody toes.
Once started, the rush of urine seemed to go on
forever. He expected to hear laughter from the crowd,
and there were some snickers, mostly from the younger
kids, naturally, but for the most part, he heard only
that now familiar murmur of approval. He supposed it
was probably because losing his water this way signaled
that Billy had at last surrendered, that he was finally
about to die and that was the moment that they were all
waiting for.
Indeed, it was rather surprising how many of them began
shuffling off the moment after he pissed himself. The
last drops hadn't fallen from his limp and shrunken
penis when they began leaving, like fans in the closing
minutes of a game that's already been decided. Either
they thought he'd already died or figured that once a
crucified boy pissed himself the difference between
life and death were a mere technicality—he was as good
as dead.
His father and brother had already left. Pastor Lentz
along with his black book and droning voice had left.
Mr. Carmichael and big Mr. Jenkins soon followed,
trudging off to their pickups. Miss Mclane spent a
spell chatting with Billy's mom, and then the two of
them left.
One by one, they all left by the time the sun slipped
below the horizon, leaving Billy alone in the cold blue
twilight. The air chilled his sunburned flesh and his
trembling intensified. He felt death creeping up his
from his frozen toes like a numbing tide of ice-cold
water. He knew it would be soon now. He had long
stopped even trying to lift himself up. His mouth was
gaping open, but no air came in or went out. He was
suffocating. He wasn't scared. He wanted it now. He
wanted to leave his broken body behind and be raised to
heaven.
And then something so unexpected happened that it
changed everything. Something beautiful...and horrible,
too.
Suddenly Billy wanted to lift himself up again, not
just his spirit, but his body, too. He wanted to draw
one last scorching breath, the air like burning
gasoline in his lungs, and to shout it out.
The good news.
Maybe he could be saved after all.
He had felt it... once, twice, three times, several at
a time....and then too many to count.
Raindrops
It was raining... yes, thank god, it was raining!
It was raining on a bluish corpse hanging from a cross
in a meadow at twilight.
