Burning Caroline
It was another one of those late nights out with the crazy bunch of people I call friends. It had taken quite some time... weeks, years... depends on how you look at it and who you were... to get to where we were now. The strange and evil looking "altar" was in front of us. It consisted of copper, steel, rubber, wood... everything that we could get our hands on. It had been Sam's idea. Caroline was still in the house sleeping when we finally decided we were ready. We called her and she came out. Very sexy... the kind of sexy you see in fashion magazines... She reached down and grabbed dirt from the ground and rubbed it in her hair. Then she took off her clothes and put on the garb that was needed for what we were doing. The moment began, she walked up the scaffolding and was attached at the wrists to the steel pipes. We all looked at each other and Sam had a moment of doubt. We pushed him through it telling him it was too late to turn back. He finally killed his cigarette and said lets do it. Joe turned the knob on one of the huge propane tanks and I lit on of the pipes. Before we knew it, all of the pipes started burning lightly. We watched Caroline and then turned to Sam. He screamed "Do it" and Joe turned all the knobs up full. Caroline became engulfed in the flames almost instantly. Her robe started burning and eventually fell to the ground, but she, attached to the steel rigging stayed standing as the flames burned... burned... The look on her face was like that of someone having an unexpected and complete orgasm. Sam kept screaming how great it looked. Caroline kept on wriggling as the flames licked up around her body, beyond her face... and to the sky... When it was over, the temperature quickly dropped back to the cold 40 degrees the night was, but I don't think any of us felt it, least of all Sam. He had beaten the demon. This had been what he had to do...
