“Sometimes you have to kill off your darlings” , Stephen King.
I Remember seeing her for the first time. Her eyes made light dance and sing a sweet song, like a fair maiden pointing to me, and with her finger saying get over here Handsome. Her hair moved like the tide, the colour of a sunset & Mars all in one. Her body looked so soft, you just wanted to sink deep into it and let it consume you. Her name was Alice. How we met is of no importance, how we parted is of far more interest. Let me cut to the chase as I am on the other side.
It was 1965, Stop in the name of Love was playing on the radio as always, We had lunch by candle light. The warm glow made her hair dance like water from Mars. The flame came alive in her eyes that night, a far more warm glow than ever before. Teddy, you know this is my first time right?
First time for what Alice?
I have never had -
Well, neither have I Alice, That was a lie, Teddy had a couple, they were not his type, but his beer eyes had a great time!
We can take it slow Alice, we have all night.
They Moved into his bedroom, Teddy sat on the bed holding a glass of Wine, he had a look of forced constraint, He could feel his pal down south warming up.
I am going to take a shower, could you turn the light off for when I return, Teddy? Please?
Um, yeah sure. What a drag, but if it got her into bed quicker so what.
He lay down in the dark on his back thinking soon she will be next to him, On top of him! No! Teddy be a gentleman, it is her first time.
5 minutes had passed, he could here her step out of the shower. Ah she is drying off, Teddy old pal, this is it, Alice come and get me babe!
He propped himself up, head firm on the pillow, waiting for her to open the door to the room. But another 5 minutes had passed, ALICE! Are you okay? - Alice! There was no reply. Then the door started to creep open, But Alice was not there.
He turned to his side and started to drift off, the wine had gotten to his big head rather than his little one. As he drifted off a hand caressed his face, He jumped up to see Alice way back by the door, How in the name of John Wayne`s ass did she reach him from there! Alice where the hell have you been?
I have been watching you Teddy, and you are now all mine. The Radio was now playing “Rescue me and hold me in your arms” by the new look.
She opened up her mouth, he could see sharp fangs kick out her normal teeth. Her hair turned to white..What- the-hell? Teddy whispered – Her arms extend, like someone was pulling plasticine to the point of snapping.
Come to me Teddy, hold me in your arms.
Please please stay away from me Alice! Teddy reached for his side draw, He pulled out a knife, Come any closer and I will cut you!
Teddy you love me, you are very special to me, you are going to be my very first...
Just stay back Alice!
Come to me Teddy – it wont hurt.
What? What do you mean!?
You are going to be my first Human Meal - and I too long for your body.
The final song Teddy Herbert heard was “I want Candy”
