a insidious Snake from the Neighbourhood.

The five years that Tara and her husband had been married, they spent three of them in their currant house. They had met most of their neighbors, spoke with some, and enjoyed dinner with others. Tara had loved her husband, loved him for the kindness he offered her, the generosity and his sensitive nature. He was different then her father, a man that had little character or substance, but after a year and a half, that dream image of Thomas changed.

He had a roving eye for women, several ladies in the neighborhood in fact. Tara would see him flirting with one and then another, finally she confronted him and he told her he would stop his flirting manner, setting her mind at ease. Thomas does stop, and for a short time all is well, but soon he once again returns to the heavy flirting and romancing.

Tara had known he loved her, at least she had thought so, but one day she found the evidence of his betrayal. She confronted him again, and his admission pulled at her, once more he was forgiven and once more promised to stop his cheating ways. But tonight as Tara was being consumed from within by the creature on the beach, her mind and heart had spoken to her, her time with Thomas was over and she was finished with him now.

As she walked toward the place where the creature had pushed into her mind, Jennifer Carson was seen approaching the beach from another direction. The forty year old woman watched Tara as she traveled in a mind twisted stage. She had been attracted to Tara since Jennifer and her husband and moved into the neighborhood and rented the house two buildings away from Tara's. As she saw her Tara more each day her attraction grew, and she felt a strong desire to possess her.

Jennifer stood 6'2"; her body was lean and fit her breasts firm and hard. Her steel-gray eyes gave her pretty features a strict, cold look and only added to the icy affect her white, short hair gave her. Jennifer had tried to make friends with her neighbors, but she had not found any that held her interests, each one seemed too different and their views clashed.

She had continued to think of Jennifer, seemingly becoming obsessed with her, dreams filled her mind, her every thoughts focused on the woman. Soon she realized her husband Will had been having the same urges, the need to overpower Tara, to own her and make her submit to their will. They both tried to influence her; each one would make remarks to her about her loveliness and her beauty. But her commitment to her husband was strong and she would not leave her mate.

Now as Tara walked in a haze of confusion, doing nothing but traveling a path set out before her, Jennifer's eyes take on a sinister appearance and she stalks her prey, no longer thinking for herself, but she is also being controlled by some outside ****. She reached Tara's side, and saw the tears on the young girls face. A wicked gleam casts over her features, but is soon masked as she tries to look concerned for her friend.
