The Muse of Fantasy (Part 2)

Inside, the room was quite dark, aside from two electric torches flickering on opposite walls. The bed was in the middle of the room, covered in grey upholstery cloth–to make it appear like stone Oliver supposed–but the illusion was weak at best. There was a chair by the door; he sat down and pulled out his cock, while Noah rolled over on the bed, dressed in his bedsheet toga, and got his first look at his minotaur boyfriend. “Oh no!” he cried, “The minotaur has found me–I have to escape!”

He made a feeble attempt to flee off the bed, but Kyle stalked over with a few rather nice grunts, grabbed him by the hips and hauled him back over the bed, running his cock up his boyfriend’s crack, and said in a deep voice, “I’ll eat you later Theseus, but first, you’re going to get bred like my cows! If you’re good, maybe I’ll keep you as a slave.”

The rutting started, and the two of them dropped their acts rather quickly, each lost in their own imaginary version of the scenario. Oliver toyed with himself, enjoying the effect of his makeup work. It wasn’t fabulous, of course, but in the darkened room, Kyle’s face did look rather bestial, and even sexy. Too bad he wasn’t a bit more built, and bit hairier–still, it was enough for Oliver to set his mind running, getting lost in his own fantasy, watching both young men shift and change at his direction into something new, something inhuman.

“I must say, I have always liked your art, but it’s your fantasies which I find most enjoyable.”

Where had that voice come from? He was still envisioning his strange sexual thoughts, but now, some stranger had appeared, unbidden. Young, wearing just a thin robe, voluminous enough to make Oliver rather unsure whether the figure was male or female. Still, this was no thought of his–he pushed the fantasy away and opened his eyes. Kyle and Noah were still themselves, still fucking, but the stranger was standing with them all in the room, like they had simply stepped out of Oliver’s thoughts and into the real world. They looked over at the two men, neither of whom had noticed the stranger’s appearance, their nose wrinkling in slight…disgust? Boredom? It was difficult to gauge what the expression was, but they weren’t particularly pleased.

“Don’t know why you waste your efforts on these two; they’re so shallow…so basic, as people seem to be saying these days. So strange, how quickly the world has been changing lately–I’m so sorry I haven’t introduced myself sooner. I’m Amoredie–a spirit of fantasies.”

Oliver wasn’t quite sure what to say, or what to do. “I…you mean…Have you been watching me?” he said, quietly, hoping neither Kyle nor Noah noticed him speaking to something which had to be a figment of his imagination.

“Why of course I’ve been watching you! You’ve only grown more interesting with age, so I’ve been letting you ripen, but at this point, you’re wasting yourself. So many ideas in that mind of yours, it goes unappreciated! Take these two for instance. This one,” they motioned to Kyle, “So much effort put into dressing him up, and he’s not even involved in the fantasy you’ve helped create! It’s really quite rude. Here, I’ll show you.”

It was rather difficult for Oliver to explain what happened next. At first, a halo of silver grew around Kyle’s head, as he thrust into Noah’s ass, oblivious to what was happening, and the halo grew larger, expanding until it was two or three yards in diameter, containing Kyle and Noah, with Oliver and the stranger on the outside. Oliver could see that everything inside the ring hovering in the air, had simply…changed, somehow. It seemed a bit duller, and somehow, Kyle had been stripped of his entire costume–and Noah was gone entirely. In his place was Aden Baffie–a movie star of moderate popularity–putting on quite a show of bottoming for Kyle.

“This one again–he shows up everywhere! Every era has their fantasies, but still, I have to wonder about people’s judgement,” Amoredie said.

“I don’t understand–what happened to them?” Oliver standing up and walking to the liminal edge of the strange halo.

“Everything inside is Kyle’s fantasy. His mind. What he’s picturing at the moment. He has no real interest in Noah’s strange desires, but he humors him.”

“So…none of this is real? How is this even possible?”

“Someone hasn’t been listening…” they said, wagging a finger at the older man, “As for this not being real–it certainly could be real, if I wanted it to be. But I find scenarios like this so dull! Everyone wants to be with Aden all of a sudden! Why can’t anyone want something original?” In exasperation, they passed into the fantasy and flopped on the bed where Kyle was fucking–but neither man noticed their entrance, “After thousands of years of existence, this becomes a bit weary, and that’s why I like you so much, Oliver! Because you imagine things that still seem new to me, and that’s why I’m here–because together, we’re going to have so much fun!”

Make Up – Part 1

“It really was just so tragic, you know? I mean, I knew he was depressed, but still, finding him here, dead was still a shock. I feel bad, just dumping him there in the desert, but how could I miss an opportunity like that? Let’s see here, just a few last little touches here and there…” Rudy dabbed his brush in a few places on Chase’s face, lifting his limp head up with a gloved hand to catch the light. Chase, for his part, was trying to move his body, but everything was numb. He could barely blink as Rudy had applied the makeup this whole time, telling his ex-boyfriend about his recently deceased uncle. He was beyond terrified–the last thing he could remember was having that meeting with his agent and heading to his car in the parking garage, and then he was here, in some grungy looking apartment bathroom, strapped to a chair, Rudy applying some strange, make up to him, but because he was facing away from the mirror, he had no idea what he was doing to him.

Chase Redman was an up-and-coming B-movie actor, hoping to make it to the big time. Unfortunately, he also happened to be gay, and he knew the world still wasn’t ready for a faggot action hero. He’d dated Rudy, his make up artist on the set of “Terror World V,” but when Rudy had started asking him to go public with their relationship, he’d broken it off. He hadn’t seen him in months, and now suddenly here he was, kidnapping him? What the hell was this about?

Rudy took a step back, inspecting his work, smiled, and walked around behind Chase. “Looks good to me–how about we both take a look?” With effort, he managed to spin around the chair Chase was strapped to, so he could face the mirror in the bathroom, and Chase could finally see what Rudy had been up to. He looked older–much older, with a bald cap and a fringe of hair added on top, running down to two bushy sideburns on each side of his face. His skin looked aged as well, with rather deep wrinkles–he could see something else as well–he must have on some kind of body suit, because his muscular physique looked to be buried under a paunchy gut. He was wearing a pair of boxers and an undershirt which wasn’t his. He managed to glance to the side at Rudy, but he couldn’t get his mouth to speak.

“What do you think? I got the resemblance pretty good, right Uncle Ned?” Rudy held up a driver’s license so Chase could see the picture, and sure enough, like all of Rudy’s work, it was a superb likeness. But what in the hell was he thinking? Why make him look like his dead uncle? “You see, Chase–I’ve had some time to think since you dumped me, and I decided that I think someone needs to put you in your proper place, and I know just happen to know a little tiny secret of yours that you’ve done a very good job hiding from almost everyone…”

Chase’s breath caught in his throat. How could he know?

“I happened to see you and Phillip in your dressing room one day. I wondered what you two were doing in there, but it really does explain how you’re so good at getting into character. Phillip even told me he’d make you fuck him as your characters on occasion too–do you remember that? He says you never really remember what happens while you’re under, but did you know that your agent has been banging me for months? That when I promised him that he could keep all the royalties from your films after your ‘early retirement’, that greedy little pig jumped at the chance? So you’re mine, Chase…or should I say Uncle Ned? That’s you you’re going to be playing, after all, once we get you into character.”

Chase was struggling harder now–he could feel whatever drug keeping him paralyzed beginning to wear off. If he could just cover his ears, if he could just–

“Sleep tight.”

Chase tried to fight it, but the reflex to relax was too strong, and he felt his head start fogging over. Hypnosis–it was his secret. Phillip, his agent, had conditioned him, told him he’d be the best actor in a generation if he just trusted him. It had worked–he’d been able to not just act like, but become the characters in his movies. But that wasn’t important now–relaxing was important. Relaxing, and listening to what Rudy was saying, focusing and relaxing, focusing and relaxing, deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper…

“That’s good Chase, very good, just relax. Focus on my voice, and my voice alone. My voice is truth, the only truth. Now, we’re going to put Chase away for a while, alright?”

“Alllright…” Chase slurred.

“I’m going to count backwards from ten, and as I count down, just like you’ve done before, you’re going to feel less and less like Chase each time, like color bleaching out of a cloth. When I reach one, you’re going to be no one, alright? No one at all, and Chase will be stored away deep in your mind, until later.”

“Yeeesss…”

“Alright. Ten……..Nine………Eight…….”

Chase felt himself start fading away. He was trying to fight for some reason, but it was difficult to remember why he was fighting at all.

“Seven……..Six………..Five……..”

Chase was getting dimmer now, curling up in on himself. He could sense him still fighting, but it was quiet now, so quiet, and he started pushing him deeper and deeper towards the back of his mind.

“Four……..Three……..Two…….”

Just a whisper now. He didn’t know who he was, but he wasn’t Chase. Chase was down there, down deep. Safe, of course, always safe. He’d come back sometime, and then maybe he’d worry about what Chase was screaming about, but right now he wasn’t Chase.

“One.”

He was nobody. No one at all.

“Alright, ready to get into character?”

Chase’s head nodded slowly, and Rudy smiled wide.
