My Lovely Lois

I don't think an explaination is possible...I just felt compelled to write this.

I remember the first time I ever saw Lois.  She casually upon the wall, wtching everyone who came into the space, I'm sure.  I can't think about her without wondering what could have become of our relationship if I, but it is only an if. I can dwell no longer in the past.

 

You see, Lois has left me, in the most permanent way possible.  I will always remember her cautiously.  She was beautiful, her skin was a golden brown that sparkled defiantly in the light. And her hair was only a slight shade darker.  She was a Wolf; deadly, but stunning.  I never touched her (I hadn't the bravery) though I can imagine the smoothness of her legs running along my finger tips.

 

It was her eyes though, those eyes were keen. Any single place that I ever stood I knew she could see me.  Just the thought of her eyes on me sent chills up my spine.  It was as if she could burn into me, her presenc was certainly strong enough.

 

Still, I wish she didn't have to die.  But, what was I to do?  She was too close, too dangerous and I was too scared to keep her alive.  So it was I that killed her? Yes, I killed my Lois, we had something special.  She betrayed me, so don't judge.  It was in the night, she came to me, I knew she was coming for me and I was entranced.  Her legs moved quickly and beautifully and I wanted no more than to touch them, to quell my own fire.

 

She changed her demeanor then, and I knew it was trouble.  She was going straight for my legs (to take me down to the floor, I suppose) and I was scared.  Her she was, my friend, my compatriot, coming to kill me.  We had something special, an understanding, I thought there could be peace.  But she was just like the others, I saw that now, I saw that there was no difference between her and all the others.  So I killed her too.  I squished that damned spider.  And I'll squish another should it cross me.

Author's Note

I am a severe arachnophobe and when a spider turned up in my bathroom, in an effort to cure my arachnophobia, I left it in there and named it Lois. Then one day Lois dissappeared and was found moments later on my floor attempting to come up on my shoe....So I squished her..haha.

Hahaha. I can totally relate. I am deathly afraid of preying mantis. My lady tells me it's because I have issues with strong women. Do I now?

You had me! i was reading along filled with erotic images and twisted meetings filled with guilt and fear. Poor Lois, but her demise did bring us a good story with a surprise ending.

Nice twist, I was not expecting that. Great job on that. It was a little hard to follow, but good.
