The Book of Erotic Fantasies

Have you ever met somebody who just seems unreasonably happy? Maybe it’s the dead-end office worker in a cubicle slaving away for “the man”. Maybe it’s the high school senior who always gets picked on because she has twice as many pimples as the rest of the student body combined. Maybe it’s a middle-aged man who works down in the sewers fixing pipes and wading through… well… you know. These people have a lot to complain about and you think to yourself, “wow, their life must really suck”.

So why are they always so damn happy? Never without a grin, always giving an enthusiastic wave and a “how do ya do” no matter what time of the day and no matter what day of the week. Life consistently gives them the shaft and yet they carry on like every day is the best damn day of their life. What’s their secret? Is it a loving partner that cares for them? Nope. Is it a newfound religion? Not likely. Is it ? No… well, maybe. But it’s also something else, something much more magical. No, literally, it’s a magic book.

That’s right, hidden throughout the world are these special little hardcover books with slightly worn red leather bindings just begging to be found. They look inconspicuous enough, and most people won’t even remember how they ended up with one, but when they are opened, only a single phrase is printed on the first page a prospective reader opens to.

A new erotic fantasy is born…

And that’s it. The reader closes the book, thinks “that was weird” and goes about the rest of their day, probably forgetting about the strange book by the time they get home from the raging dumpster-fire they call a life. But the magic doesn’t just end there; the next time the reader falls asleep they will be thrust into a vivid dreamscape of one of their craziest erotic fantasies come to life.

The dreamer will embark upon the kind of worlds you only get to see in porn titles or cheesy erotic fiction, guided by a certified hottie known only as “The Scarlet Consort” who appears as the man, woman or nonbinary person of the reader’s dreams and can control the dream to suit the dreamer’s wildest desires. And get this, in the span of eight hours spent sleeping, the dreamer can spend anywhere from days to weeks, even years inside this dreamscape, only awakening when they feel like they’re ready for it to end. Then the next night, they’ll crack open the little red book again and dream another sexy adventure.

So, intrepid reader, that is why those people who got the wrong end of life’s asshole always seem so happy; some of them are on , but the others have this book. No matter how crappy their life is, they can always go home and escape for as long as they desire. A horny little vacation every night. No wonder they’re so happy. Maybe it’s time you had some fun too…

((TL;DR- It’s like SCP-1230 except horny. Writers welcome!))
