Erotica

Let me first explain that this is homework.

In Pictures & Words class with Matthew and Robbi, we have been paired up to write and illustrate books together. The pictures and words will build upon one another to create a higher level of storytelling. Karen and I are very excited to be planning a stalker's notebook. It's from the perspective of a college student who becomes obsessed with a guy in her class and begins stalking him.

It's great. Since it's her own scrapbook, we've got her poetry with his shoe prints, her class notes with his head drawn in the middle, and-

Erotica. Yes. We thought it would be fun to show her mental decay as she becomes more and more obsessed with this poor baseball player (who doesn't have a clue). Claire thought it would be fun if I posted it on my blog.

Well, here you go. If you have any constructive ideas on how to make it smuttier, please comment. At this point, it's still in safe mode.

"He was the last person still in the locker room after even the other players and coaches had left to celebrate. The last person- except for her. She watched from behind a darkened corner, admiring his broad shoulders, his chestnut hair, his warm lips.
Even his jersey – which provided just a taste of the chiseled muscles that lay underneath – was perfect in her eyes.

She watched him undress slowly. His strong hands reached over to remove his shirt- she longed to feel the power behind those hands. They knew how to grip a bat and make a ball fly fast and hard out of the park. She wanted to feel that passionate grip and know such sensations as would send her to the moon. She moaned as he finally peeled his shirt off, revealing a golden six-pack of abs. But then he paused- had he heard? No, he continued, unaware that her body was begging, screaming, already giving itself up to his. Finally the snug boxer-briefs were all that remained, but in her mind they were already gone."

After I finish this assignment, I'll continue with the quest to become America's next great writer.

  1. I think if there ever is another Erotica Reading, you know what to do.

  2. I think it's funny that this post ends and the next words you see are "Why I will not sleep tonight."

  3. "She wanted to feel that passionate grip and know such sensations as would send her to the moon."

    That and the "golden six pack abs" are definitely my favorite parts. LOVES it!

  4. Hahaha. Are you writing instead of illustrating or do you both do both?

  5. That makes up for the fact I never got to hear you say vagina in your monologue.
