Adam

Adam

    I once met a man who was not strong.  There was nothing about this person that I liked, and I was cautious about being friends with him.  This person was hard to understand because of his moods, and habits.  He was not liked by people, and he did not like people.  Nobody knew him.  He was not fond of other people.  Sometimes he would do mean things to people, and sometimes people would do mean things to him.  His name was Adam.

    The man named Adam was a young man.  Adam grew up in a family that was middleclass, and he had one sister.  When Adam realized he was passionate about nutrition in college, he worked at getting a degree in that area of study.  He had been proud of himself when he graduated from the two year community college where he had attended school.  After he finished school, he was not interested in pursuing a career relating to nutrition. Now Adam lives with another man he considers to be his friend. 

    The man that lives with Adam is a lawyer, and his name is Eddie.  Eddie does not know why he shares a home with Adam.  He is skeptical about Adam’s validity as a friend.  Eddie’s status as a lawyer has caused him to be successful.  He doesn’t think that Adam will ever be someone like him.  Most of all, Eddie wonders if there is a reasonable excuse as to why they should be living together. 

    Everything Eddie does, he does better than Adam.  There had been times when the two men competed at things, and Eddie always won.  When this type of competition would take place, and Adam lost, he would cry like a wimp.  Eddie, often disgusted with Adam’s disenchantment, would ask himself if he regretted being friends with Adam.  Sometimes Adam’s defeat was too much for Eddie to face up to.  Eddie knew that he could kick the living shit out of Adam at anything, but he proceeded to keep that a secret.  It was Eddie’s dream to never let Adam find out that this was true.

    In his mind, Eddie would make Adam a target and a victim with his own hatred.  Eddie could detest Adam in his thoughts all he liked, and never have to tell him about it.  The belief that Adam was a creep, and had an insignificant existence in the home they shared, was what fueled Eddie’s detestation.  Once, Eddie considered either killing or committing a violent crime against Adam.  On the outside, Eddie did not show signs of extreme dislike toward Adam, but on the inside, Eddie’s abhorrence for Adam had become a raging sea and an abomination.

    It was true that Eddie was experiencing exhilaration from the pleasure he got from the offensive concept of Adam that he had constructed in his head.  Any of the abusive conclusions Eddie had reached concerning Adam would have wounded him emotionally.  Eddie realized that the opposition he felt toward Adam was beginning to have an affect on Adam’s behavior.  At night, when both men had returned home from work, Adam would eat nothing staring at the television set and smoking marijuana, while Eddie would host himself to eating steak dinners, and having sexy women over for private champagne parties in the upstairs part of their house.  Eddie relished in the fact that his way of thinking had come around to influencing and dictating what kind of events would occur around the house that the two of them lived in.  It could be reasoned that Eddie’s brainwaves, containing harsh words and violent images that were aimed at Adam, had taken physical shape in both of their lives.  Eddie’s fear and antipathy had set itself into motion. 

    Adam’s way of behaving had disgusted Eddie, but with the arrival of the new point of view that Eddie was seeing life through because of the happenings that were beginning to occur in their home because of unexplained phenomena that he had created, he had removed himself from communicating with Adam altogether.  The cozy champagne parties Eddie had been throwing in the upstairs part of the house had become a regular occurrence.  Adam would sit on the sofa all night, impatient about what was going on with Eddie and the women he’d brought home to party with.  Adam appeared unwell.  Eddie took several glances at Adam’s body slumped over on the sofa when he would arrive at home, and recognized that Adam’s state was in bad condition.  The fact that Adam was suffering made Eddie happy.

    One night, when Eddie had come home from the law office where he worked, he returned to find Adam watching television.  Eddie had been working hard that day, and without thinking, he stood behind the sofa watching the television within feet from Adam.  Adam had been watching the film, The Wall, and onscreen, Eddie watched as a militant looking man dressed in a black uniform crushed another man’s head with a baseball bat.  The man getting hit over the head with the baseball bat had a skull for a head, positioned on top of a man’s weakened huddled body wearing shabby clothes.  This advent image upon arrival justified Eddie’s suspicion that Adam was diminishing in front of his eyes, growing worse with every passing day.  Eddie’s interests had begun to point directly at Adam.

    The thought of what Eddie had just seen on television was boiling over in his mind.  The man getting his head bashed in by the man in the uniform signified Adam’s decline, and the man doing the work with the baseball bat represented Eddie’s supreme condition.  The fact that the status of Eddie trying to tire out Adam with his mind had become made visual on the television set, and it sunk into Eddie’s brain.

    After watching a bit more of the movie, The Wall, Eddie headed up the stairs, he had to use the telephone.  When he got to his upstairs bedroom, he shut the door, completing his last encounter with Adam.  Eddie intended to invite four women whom he’d met, to a champagne party at his house that evening.    Eddie decided that when the guests arrived, he would get them drunk, have sex with them, and then, along with his four female friends, kill Adam.

    Eddie picked up the phone.  The first woman he called was named Vicky.  Vicky had pretty blonde hair, first-rate tits, and unmatched legs.  Eddie had met Vicky at a restaurant, gotten her phone number, and promised her he would call her.  Now he was calling her.  When he spoke to her over the phone, she agreed to come over.

    Earlier that day, Eddie had asked three of the women who worked at the same law firm as he did if they would like to come over that night and party.  They agreed.  Their names were Lisa, Carrie, and Amanda.  All three women were unparalleled in their attractive appearances.  Now that Vicky was coming too, Eddie was excited for the night’s festivities.  He had thrown several champagne parties over the last few weeks resulting in he and several women having sex by the end of them, and now that he planned on killing Adam by the end of this one, his idea to celebrate that evening seemed perfect.

    The doorbell rang at nine o’clock.  Eddie went downstairs to get the door for the three women from the office that had just arrived.  The first woman to walk inside was Lisa, a statuesque brunette, wearing a dark pink one piece mini skirt and matching high heels.  The second lady to come inside was Carrie, a striking, fine-looking woman, dressed in expensive designer jeans, and a blouse.  Last to enter the home was Amanda, an attractive blonde, with exquisite physical features, in some more posh attire, including a garment from Christian Dior.  A few minutes later, after helping the women get comfortable on a big brown leather sofa upstairs in the billiards lounge, and pouring each of his guests a glass of champagne, Eddie heard the doorbell ring once more.  Vicky had made it there, and now stood in the doorway.  Vicky was beautiful, Eddie been successful in getting her to come over.  Arm in arm, Eddie and Vicky walked up the stairs into the room where the party was being held.  No one had seen Adam laying face first into the sofa cushions he had been watching television on.

    Eddie and the guests got out of their clothes after he returned upstairs with Vicky.  To do this, the four women stood up, getting off of the sofa, and helping Eddie sit down once on their feet.  Once they had Eddie comfortable on the sofa, the four girls began to stroke him and each other, removing what they had on with elegant style, and giggling.  Eddie offered the women more champagne, thinking that he would need to do this to get the ladies ready to kill Adam.  He poured their glasses of champagne, and began to get a lap dance from Amanda and Vicky at the same time once both women were nude.  Carrie and Lisa were busy taking each other’s clothes off and drinking champagne, also both women were excited about having sex with Eddie.  Dance music droned from the upstairs where the five participants were getting up to no good.  Vicky and Amanda had taken off all of Eddie’s clothes, and were helping him have sex with Carrie on the leather sofa.  The naked assembly upstairs was just beginning to work up a sweat, with all five of them beginning to engage in hot group sex, when all of a sudden they heard loud shouting coming from downstairs.

    Eddie figured that there was another person downstairs that was doing all of the yelling, not Adam.  The four naked girls, and Eddie, opened up the big door of the billiards lounge, and the yelling got much louder for them to hear.  They scurried over to the balcony that looked down on the living room where Adam had been watching television.  The five naked figures upstairs watched from above as a giant, six foot eight, angry black man, screamed at Adam for not showing up at work for the last two weeks.  The intruder was also wielding a big lead pipe in his hands.  Inside, Eddie got satisfaction out of seeing all of this, because he knew that his job was better than Adam’s.  Eddie churned with liking at the scene below.

    The women that had been upstairs held their hands over their mouths now, and when the colossal figure downstairs began to start to hurt Adam by beat beating him over and over with the pipe, the ladies winced in horror at the damage that was being done.  Adam body was a huddled mess on the floor in between the living room table and the sofa he had been curled up on for the past two weeks.  The television was the only source of light in the living room, downstairs.  The group upstairs didn’t know if the man afflicting all of the pain with pipe could see them or not, it did not seem to matter.  All they could see was the man’s giant body in the cool blue light, towering over Adam, hitting him a repeated number of times.  Adam’s body no longer moved.  His body lay there on the floor of the living room, motionless, but the black aggressor downstairs did not let up, he continued to beat the lifeless mass on the floor that had been Adam with the pipe.

    When the huge man was through killing Adam, he spit on the now dead corpse that lay on the floor of the living room.  The man who had exterminated Adam left the scene of the crime, throwing the pipe at Adam once more before leaving.  Eddie sneered, and when he looked at his guests’ expressions, he sneered even more.  He could not help but think that this had happened because he wanted it to, and that what they had just witnessed downstairs was its climactic ending.  Eddie was home.

The End
