94 ElvenLord4589 Achermann ignored the IM, closing it out again. He opened his program again and added code to try to break through. No pissant newbie webmaster was going to keep him out. He stared at the blank screen as the algorithms began to run. A small red dot appeared at the center of each screen. ElvenLord4589 The dot grew larger; like a red hole in a hole of blackness. A faint rumble began to rise from the speakers. He was getting in. MFers, I got your ass, he thought. I got your ass. Achermann sat back when the hole in the darkness seemed to burn away revealing an emerging head of a dog on each screen. A fire-eyed, pointy-eared, spike-toothed dog’s head growing on the screens. Crap, he thought. That’s cool. ElvenLord4589
95 Hole.> As the heads began to grow, they appeared to be three-dimensional. 3D, cool, he thought, this is great software. They grew to the size of the screen and then appeared to begin to bulge outward. Damn, Achermann thought, that’s really cool 3D; I gotta crack this. Achermann tried to reach for his mouse but discovered that his hands and arms would not move. He tried to stand up but his legs would not move. He tried to cry out, but his head and lips would not move. He watched as the 3D dogs’ heads extended out from each of the screens. The heads seemed to be right in front of his nose. Achermann smelled phosphorus. My board’s burning, he thought; I have to turn this thing off. But he could not move as the dark red nostrils of the dogs’ faces sniffed him. He could not move or speak as the three mouths opened in unison; wider and wider. Molly Achermann entered her son’s self-styled man cave with his chips. She hated the basement. It smelled of sweat and grime and other things and she did not like it. $80,000 for a college degree and the boy sits in the dark in the basement and surfs for porn, she thought disgustedly. She looked around the room. He wasn’t there. Bastard, she thought. Spoiled bastard. Yelling at me for chips and then leaving. At least he’s out of the house hopefully she thought. She looked at the three screens on his desk and cringed. What is that boy getting into now. The background on each screen was a human, flayed skinless and nailed to an upside down cross in a burning circle. He appeared to be screaming.
