February Drabble Challenge: "Love and Hate"
Well, it's Valentine's Day time, so let's get cliche. Write me a prose story in exactly 100 words tying into the theme of love or hate or Valentine's Day. Any genre, but horror has a special place in my heart. Winner gets a pair of George Washingtons, baby. Wanna win? Stick to prose using standard rules of grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I'll choose the winner in early March.
The Fertility Wall
“The Luperci!” the women shouted.
“Disrobe! Receive the blows of februa to op’n your womb! It’s Mystery!”
“The Luperci come!”
Looking along the wall, she saw hysterical passion in the unclothed women. Menacing shadows loomed, daguerreotypes of heads that hand-held torches painted.
“The Luperci,” her naked companion whispered. Women's shrieks moved like a wave toward her. Suddenly she felt the sting of flagellation on her buttocks. “You were selected—you!" the woman said. Good fortune; your womb be op’ned."
A writhing mass of men, a mindless erection, meant the ritual was not over. She did not have very long to wait.
