Even Ellie didn’t know where she was.

This was only natural, as so many of her memories–the people, places and things that

could anchor and orient her – felt like fragments of a dream that was rapidly slipping

away. Her brain rebelled against this process. There was someone important...someone

she had to remember. The reason for all of this: the girl with whirlpool eyes; the girl who would suck her and probe her, who would take her to the farthest edge of her desires.

Then, together, they’d plunge over that edge to a Hell that was preferable to Earth. The name started with the letter L...Laura? No, not Laura.

Lori.

She remembered this much: she loved Lori, but Lori hadn’t yet said that she loved

her back. They were going to fuck each other then die together. There was

a...creature...named René involved with this, too. A mutilated man. He’d been the one

who’d taken her from her old life. In a police car? That didn’t seem to make sense but,

yes, in a police car. They’d driven away from one world and had arrived in a new one – a place as dark and warm as a womb. A quiet place where the ground was slick with mud

and the air smelled like fading flowers.

She couldn’t see her hand in front of her face, but she knew René was still with her.

She felt his cold, plastic hand guiding her along by the arm – as though he’d been to this place many times before and knew the way, or could at least see where he was going. She

also heard his voice.

“Duh-skusth,” he said.

Ellie struggled to understand him. Disgust? Disguise?

They stopped. René grabbed her chin and tilted it upward. “Duh skusth,” he

repeated, this time with a heightened tone of seriousness, a respect bordering on awe.

Oh, the skies – René was directing her attention to the stars overhead. They were several times larger than any stars she’d seen before, and each glowed with a different

vibrant color. Even more surprising, they were unstable. (No, more than unstable.

Liquid.) They throbbed and melted and trickled toward the horizon, leaving behind trails that looked like neon candle wax (or painted pus).

Ellie followed the course of a melting, pulsating green star until she began to feel

dizzy and nauseated. Her head started to pound in synch with the palpitations.

She shifted her focus to a blue star, hoping a more soothing color might settle her

nerves. It didn’t help. It was too globby and too pale; the injured, blotchy blue of a bruise, not the rich blue of eyes and oceans. Each time the blue star throbbed, she imagined it

pumping diseased blood through the veins of all creation. She cringed, slipped, and lost her footing.

She heard a familiar whirring sound as René yanked at her hips to steady her.

Gooseflesh ran up the back of her neck, followed by a shudder, followed by a wave of

bitter embarrassment at how weak she must have just seemed to him. She’d gotten used

to a number of oddities over the last two days. So why did she find this bizarre sky so

uniquely disturbing?

She had only a hunch about the answer.
