Orwell still had a difficult time recognizing himself. He glanced over at the one way mirror, wondering if there was anyone back there who could help him, who could, maybe, save the detective. He knew, at this point, that is was much, much too late to save himself. The things he’d done to people, the person he’d become–the person the demon had turned him into, if he could even still count as a person. He didn’t feel very human anymore, really.
That’s because you aren’t human, are you? You’re a pig, Orwell. You’re my pig. Don’t you get that yet? Don’t you understand that? You’re mine, and all this fighting, all this denial, look where it’s gotten you, fucking look at yourself.
He did look over, at his reflection. Before this, before he’d found the amulet, he’d been 25, fresh out of school, slim and fit. Ray had ruined his body, but it was Stewart who had really destroyed him. His face was the worst. Looking at himself, how could anyone even bear to look at him? Everyone treated him like he was normal, all the same, with that short, pushed up nose, the small eyes, the crown devoid of hair, the bushy, wild beard he could never tame, or trim. The skin looked tough and flaky–and old. Everyone, after Stewart, had treated him like he was a man in his early fifties–even his driver’s license had been changed, both photo and year of birth. The same skin on his face was everywhere–a tough hide, but under his clothes was worse. That’s where the tattoos were. Old and faded, they had come with the skin–humiliating pictures and words all over himself. He’d been forced into long sleeved shirts and high collars just to hide them, just to hide himself. Nothing felt right, either. Touching things–every texture was dull, but pain…oh, pain…
Hurlbane slapped him, hard across the face then, to get his attention, and when he did, Orwell let out a snort, and felt his cock jump and spurt a bit of cum into his pants. Why–why did it have to feel so fucking good?
“Are you still with me, Orwell? Have anything to say? Because this is looking like a pattern now. Two men, last seen with you, disappearing after school without a trace. Their cars abandoned. No one knows anything, and you are playing completely dumb, despite the fact that you had relationships with both of them.”
“Did you think that, maybe, they ran off together? Stewart was on the wrestling team.”
Hurlbane scoffed. “Yeah, I looked into that, but with as much pussy as both of them were getting, I doubt they had much time for each other. They weren’t faggots–not like you, Orwell.”
His cheeks flushed.
“Yeah, I know all about that. I’ve had someone trailing you for a few weeks now. All that sick shit you get into outside of town. What the fuck is wrong with you? I can’t fucking believe we let a nasty, disgusting pig like you around our fucking kids.”
Hurlbane didn’t seemed that disgusted–not judging by the size of the erection in his pants. The demon was in him, Orwell could tell–but he was toying with him. Toying with them both. “Detective…I know this is hard to believe, but this…you need to get out of here. You need to get away from me, please.”
“Why, Orwell? Are you going to try and make me disappear like Ray and Stewart? Like Jonathan Randolf?”
“I…I already told you, I don’t know anything about that.”
Another smack to the face, enough to make Orwell snort, smelling the detective’s smoke, smeling his…arousal. He licked his lips, wishing he wasn’t so…hungry.
“What did I just tell you, Orwell? I’ve had someone following you, I know where you go to get your fix. I know the kind of men you like. Your favorite spot? Grover Hill Rest Area, where Mr. Randolf’s truck was found, abandoned, with no sign of struggle, and no evidence of any kind. Just like Ray, and Stewart. It took some work, but I have a few truckers willing to testify that they’d seen you at the rest area before–doing that shit you do–and I have a good idea that on the night Jonathan was last seen, I know exactly where you were.
Orwell said nothing, but his guts gave a growl.
“What’s wrong, pig? Can’t talk on an empty stomach? Well don’t think you’re going to find a snack here, you sick fucking freak.”
He sounds pretty confident about that, Orwell–but you didn’t eat yet today. You must be very hungry. I could have him drop those pants, right here and now, and you can eat all you want. Would you like that, Orwell?
“No–no, please stop this, please, I can’t…do this anymore,” Orwell said, trying to keep from sobbing.
“Then tell me the fucking truth, Orwell–tell me what happened that night. You have no real alibi. We both know where you were, and who you were with. Just fucking admit it, like a good fucking pig, and we can move on to your punishment, like you really want,” Hurlbane said, hefted up a boot, and planted it right in Orwell’s crotch, pressing hard, his heel digging into Orwell’s balls, making him snort. “Yeah pig–you want to tell me. You want it off your chest. You’re proud of it. So fucking tell me. Tell me how you did it. Tell me, and I’ll give you what you fucking want.”
