Mouth

“Close your eyes” I tell her.

Liz sticks her tongue out, but does so.

I pull out the Catcher and line it up with the fleshlight that has a mouth end.

The familiar outline forms around it as I use the emerald slide. Then I swing it around to line up with Liz.

Thinking to myself “Who would have thought Liz would want to be used this way?” Then I stop and ponder “Should I leave her aware?”

Knowing Liz, she’d be upset if I didn’t. So I slipped the Sapphire lens in place along with the Ruby.

“A full day” Liz says, in a whisper. Not certain if it was to herself or to me.

I push the button, but decide to run an experiment and hold it down longer than usual.

An outline forms around Liz, then just as suddenly she’s gone.

A fleshlight is laying on my bed, mouth side in a smile.

But there’s no tracery or outline of Liz over it..

“Must be because of how long I held it down for.. “ I say to myself, glad to have run the experiment.

Setting the Catcher down and picking up the Liz-Fleshlight. I idly touch the lips and they feel so much more real than any toy.

“Well..” I say unzipping.

“No time like the present”.
