Hole.><br />
As the heads began to grow, they appeared<br />
to be three-dimensional. 3D, cool, he thought, this is<br />
great software. <strong>The</strong>y grew to the size of the screen<br />
and then appeared to begin to bulge outward. Damn,<br />
Achermann thought, that’s really cool 3D; I gotta<br />
crack this. Achermann tried to reach for his mouse but<br />
discovered that his hands and arms would not move.<br />
He tried to stand up but his legs would not move. He<br />
tried to cry out, but his head and lips would not move.<br />
He watched as the 3D dogs’ heads extended out from<br />
each of the screens. <strong>The</strong> heads seemed to be right in<br />
front of his nose. Achermann smelled phosphorus. My<br />
board’s burning, he thought; I have to turn this thing<br />
off. But he could not move as the dark red nostrils<br />
of the dogs’ faces sniffed him. He could not move or<br />
speak as the three mouths opened in unison; wider and<br />
wider.<br />
Molly Achermann entered her son’s self-styled<br />
man cave with his chips. She hated the basement. It<br />
smelled of sweat and grime and other things and she<br />
did not like it. $80,000 for a college degree and the<br />
boy sits in the dark in the basement and surfs for porn,<br />
she thought disgustedly.<br />
She looked around the room. He wasn’t there.<br />
Bastard, she thought. Spoiled bastard. Yelling at me<br />
for chips and then leaving. At least he’s out of the<br />
house hopefully she thought. She looked at the three<br />
screens on his desk and cringed. What is that boy getting<br />
into now. <strong>The</strong> background on each screen was a<br />
human, flayed skinless and nailed to an upside down<br />
cross in a burning circle. He appeared to be screaming.
