THE SHCOK-ING TRUTH

The screams from the darkened house could be heard for miles. They had started out sounding human, but now they were not even almost human, they were like the cries of a wild animal caught in a hunter's snare. * * * "Not an entirely inaccurate comparison," thought Joseph as he crouched, buck naked and chained by both hands and both feet to the floor, staring at Abraham. He knew he would pay for it, but gazing at his lover's perfect nose, eyes, cheeks, mouth and beard, he could not stop the erection from starting to form. Sure enough, five hundred volts of electricity shot into his penis and from there through his body. "That's what you get, Dog," cried Noah Hamalton. "Stop these evil urges, and this will end. Another. . ." Joseph saw the agony in Abraham's eyes, but since they had started the torture by shocking his tongue after they caught him sucking Joseph's penis when they came to 'arrest' them, he was not able to speak at the moment, and would very likely never speak again 'Especially if they kill us,' Joseph thought darkly. This did seem a very real possibility to him at this point. "No looking away, dogs," shouted Noah. "You will keep staring at each other, night and day, and keep getting shocked each time you start to get an erection, until you stop getting erections from each other's faces." Both young men gave a howl like a wounded wolf, and received a shock for this too. "Just kill us already," Abraham begged, and Joseph found that he could no longer disagree. But Noah merely laughed, a mean, cruel, hateful and mirthless laugh. "No, no, no. You can not be killed until you have been purified, and that can only happen when you renounce your evil choice." "It is NOT a choice, you, stupid, ignorant man," I say, drawing another shock, but determined to say what I have to say anyway, this time. "If it was a choice, do you think either of us would CHOOSE this? Why can't you people just live and let live. I thought that is what Conservatism was all about, each person deciding what was right for them. So, how come with sexual orientation it is different?" I can see in his eyes that the shock he wants to give me now, I would not survive, but he is trying to decide if that serves his larger purpose. * * * Suddenly, the sky goes pitch black. Moments later, Thunder erupts near us and out of the lightning bolts that follow step seven pairs of really gorgeous guys, although obviously nothing on Abraham. One raises his hand at Noah and Thunder flies from it followed by a scream from Noah and a shock of electricity from his hand flies back at him, causing him to cry out, die and then explode. One of The Thunder Boys turns towards me. "I take it you know who se are?" he says, smiling so that his nostrils, already the width of his face, slightly exceed it, sending my hormones into all kinds of flips and other athletic events. I nod. "The Thunder Boys," I say at once. He nods. "Correct. My name is Daniel. Dan, to most people. My partner is Joel. We will take you to The Fortress of Thunder to be cured of all of this nonsense. And then. . ." "Can we join your ranks?" Abraham beats me to the impulsive question before I do. Dan turns to his printer. "I don't now Nehemiah. Do you think their noses are big enough?" I am shocked, since Abraham's nostrils are the width of his face and mine slightly exceed the width of my face. "We have both got. . ." I start, then I see that Dan is laughing. "I was only joking. You obviously both far exceed the eighty percent minimum, and your obviously a committed gay couple. How old are you both?" "Both twenty-five, as of four and five days ago." "Then yes," says Dan. "You both made the minimum age cut by a few days. Once you're healed, Matthew and Luke, we'll explain when we're in a more secure location, will send you to where we are. But now, get ready." Abraham and I grab each other as the Thunderbolt from Dan's left hand flies towards us. It engulfs us, and instantly I feel power flowing through me. Then they all make Thunder Bolts and suddenly I feel my body projecting forward until I start to see the walls of a tower materializing on each side and watch and listen. Suddenly, we fall face first on to a hard stone floor by my face, but instantly feel it and everything else start to heal. There is a loud scream of pleasure from somewhere else "Matthew and Luke" says Dan, and then he and the other Thunder Boys ride away on bolts of Thunder, while Abraham and I start to explore this fortress, particularly interested in finding Matthew and Luke and the other dead ones Dan told us about and seeing about all of that." "I've been waiting a long time to be in a safe place and from now on," Abraham says as we explore the fortress and choose our one safe place. I nod as we come to our bed chamber, strip, get in bed and then prepare to finish what we stated a week ago.
