*grumble* This did so not
turn out like it was supposed to! (not that I exactly knew
how it was supposed to... but it wasn't like this)
*sniffle* Why won't it cooperate! *sob!* Okay...
I'm done now.
Disclaimer: Marvel can have it. I don't mind, really.
Heat. Warm hands, moist and clammy with perspiration. Sweat
slicked skin that glistened on exposed faces, emerging from
the hairline trickle down heat flushed faces.
Cold skin that chilled all whom it touched. Faces staring
out at her from skin reddened by the inescapable chill.
Dry skin, chapped, old, that rasped across her own.
Smooth skin that glided silkily over hers.
Everywhere.
They pressed up against her... nothing between them save
the meager barrier that their respective clothing offered
them. All around her. Everywhere she looked.
Arms exposed to the sun from beneath the short sleeves of
a t-shirt. Legs jutting out from beneath shorts and
skirts. A flash of skin exposed as shirts shifted. Darting
hands.
All around her. Waiting for her.
Hideous, ugly flesh.
They passed by her, bare limbs flinging about so close to
her own that she nearly pulled back. All around her, always
touching, hands within hands, lips against lips... flesh and
flesh.
Watching her from foolish, fleshy faces.
Everywhere she went, skin peeked out at her, waiting.
Filthy, dirty flesh.
Pressing up against her, they gave her everything she didn't
want. Flesh against flesh and they took up root deep within
her mind. Skin against skin and she wasn't herself.
Horrible, ugly skin.
All around her.
Always near.
Hands clasped. Lips met. Casual brush of skin against skin.
Everyday. Everywhere. Never thinking. Always touching. Always
flesh waiting, threatening her.
All around her. Swarming, filthy little animals who would
touch her. Destroy her. Give her everything of themselves
that she never wanted.
A simple touch. Flesh to flesh. Disgusting. Hated.
Flesh and flesh. Friendly. Loving.
Never for her.
Skin to skin... destructive, dirty, despised.
They never understood. Handshakes, hugs, kisses were all
so much a part of the lives of the swirling, mindless masses
that swarmed about her own isolated form. Always touching...
Never for her.
Flesh against flesh... it made her skin crawl and her mind
fold in upon itself. Always drawing back, never touching,
never holding.
A dirty flood of foreign thoughts and memories swarmed through
her at every touch, skin to skin.
Hot, sticky, damp skin.
Cold, dry flesh.
Despised.
Disgusting flesh, marred and imperfect staring out at her,
waiting to drown out her thoughts. Herself.
All around her. Skin. Flesh to flesh.
She shuddered.
~end~
No, I really don't know what that's about.
Remember, I have a tiny, fragile little ego that can easily
be shattered beyond all repair...
