Bonnie and I did everything together. We frequently got ourselves into trouble. But drugs, booze and stealing will do that to you.
We had plans on how we were going to end it all. But after a few weeks, we kind of forgot about it. Besides, we were having way too much fun.
It all came crashing down on a Tuesday morning. We were out on the road when it happened. Millions of people just up and disappeared with no explanation. Most of the roads were immediately made impassable because of crashed vehicles with no drivers in them.
Bonnie immediately got scared, especially when people started taking shots at each other. She said it was judgement coming down on us all. Somehow we found a route out of the city.
The country roads were a little better. But we came upon one fiery accident that blocked the road. Some guy with a revolver waved for us to stop.
Bonnie screamed as I drove off into the nearby field. We heard shots, and I think my car took a couple bullets. But we got the hell out of there.
Bonnie was panting heavily when I finally pulled over. I was mad he’d shot my vehicle. But I was also just as frightened as she was.
I was shaking so bad. But someone had to safely drive the car. Bonnie probably would have wrecked us in her panic.
“Where to?” I finally asked.
She looked at me with wild, frightened eyes. I’ve never seen her so scared in all my life. It unnerved me.
We’d done a lot of crazy things before, things I thought should have frightened her. She just laughed them off. But now she was genuinely terrified.
“Wanna go back?” I finally suggested.
She anxiously shook her head. Then she pointed forward on the road I’d used to pull off… “That way.”
“I don’t think it leads anywhere…”
“Just go, Bo; ok?”
I spun the tires as I headed down the road. Pavement soon turned into gravel. After a few more miles, gravel became a dirt path.
We were headed into a forest. I suspected we were going to run out of road soon. At least Bonnie was starting to calm down a little.
I put on a happy face as I chuckled, “Far enough out of town, Bonnie?”
She gulped as she looked all around. Then she pointed… “Over there.”
“Your wish is my command.”
I drove off the path in the direction she’d pointed. For now, I’d decided to allow her to navigate. I didn’t really care where we were going, so long as it made her feel better.
“There!” she pointed. “Those two trees.”
“Bonnie, trees are everywhere.”
“Over there, damnit!”
I saw where she was pointing and drove over. “Slow down!” she panted as we got closer. Then she finally blurted out, “Stop – stop!”
I hit the brakes, causing us both to lurch forward. “Right here,” she panted. “Shut off the engine.”
I did as she requested. Then I looked all around. It was just the two of us in my car.
“Here,” she said, and she was panting again. “Right here. See those branches up there.”
I looked upward. A couple of small trees had branches that crossed toward each other. I smiled as I told her, “They love each other, Bonnie… just like I love you.”
She got out of the car. Then she walked behind my vehicle. What the hell was she doing?
“Bonnie?”
“Pop the trunk, Bo.”
“What do we need from the trunk, Bonnie?”
“Just pop it before it’s too late; ok?”
I hit the switch. The trunk made a releasing sound as the lid rose. Bonnie reached inside.
“Bonnie, what are you…?” Then I saw them. There were two nooses in her hands.
I immediately climbed out of the car and shut the door behind me. “Bonnie, are you serious?”
“Don’t you feel it? Can’t you feel it? Something has changed.”
“What’s changed, Bonnie?”
“It’s… I don’t know. It’s… evil or something.”
“I don’t feel a thing, Bonnie… at least not out here in the woods. We’re miles away from civilization.”
“I tell you, I can feel it, Bo! Don’t you feel it too?”
“Well, these woods are a little creepy, now that you ask me.”
“It’s not the woods. It’s been this way ever since…”
“Ever since when, Bonnie?”
“Ever since all those disappearances. Can’t you feel it?”
“Bonnie, I…”
“Ssshhh! For once in your life, would you just shut up and be quiet and listen!”
I started to say something, but I held my piece. Then I tried to get in touch with my feelings. At least that’s what she likes to call it.
At first, I thought it was the woods. Then I thought back. I remembered being all freaked out the moment all those people vanished and the roads clogged.
That feeling hadn’t really changed all that much. Something was definitely off. I just hadn’t really paid any attention to it until now, mostly because I was focused on my driving while trying to calm Bonnie down.
I frowned before looking at her. “So what do you think?” That’s when she hefted the ropes.
“It’s judgement, Bo. What if there are more disappearances. What if it… I mean they… what if they come after us next?”
I looked all around. “They who, Bonnie?” Damn. Now she was spooking me.
She hefted the ropes in her hands. Then she looked up at the branches above us. “Are you going to help me or not?”
“Bonnie, are you out of your mind?”
“Do you want to go back and face… face THAT?”
“Face what?”
“A world gone crazy! People shooting each other! Dead people everywhere! Missing people!”
“Bonnie, I don’t think…” But then I stopped to consider it.
Did I really want to stop her so we could go back? Did I really want to go back? What if Bonnie hanged herself and I chose to live? Did I really want to face a world like that without her? Maybe I didn’t want to go back after all.
I took one of the ropes from her hand. We’d already tied them both into nooses long ago. I just never thought we’d ever use them.
I shimmied up one of the trees. Then I started to secure the free end with the noose hanging down. That’s when I paused.
“Why did you stop, Bo?”
“What are we going to stand on, Bonnie?”
She looked around before smiling as she patted the hood. “How about your car?”
“Damn you, Bonnie! I’m not going to put a dent in my hood.”
“That guy back there put two holes in it, Bo! What’s a couple more dents gonna do? Does this mean you’re not gonna hang with me?”
“I… I didn’t say that.”
“Then why should you care?”
I thought it over. She was right. If we were going to hang together, why should I care if we dented the hood of my cherished car? That guy back there had already tried to kill it by shooting it.
I tied off one rope, making sure it could be reached by standing on the hood of my car. Then Bonnie tossed the other one up at me. I grabbed it and secured it to the branch coming from the other tree.
Bonnie started panting heavily. “I… I never thought… I never thought we’d actually use them, Bo.”
“Neither did I. Better test ‘em first. Don’t want the branches to break.”
I grabbed one and put my entire weight on it. If it would hold me, it would easily hold Bonnie. The branch bent a little, but it didn’t break.
I tried the other one. Same thing. It gave a little from my weight, but it held.
I used the rope to swing over to the hood of my car. It gave once it took my full weight. But as soon as I leapt off, it returned to its former shape. Whew!
I looked curiously at Bonnie. “Now what? Will we need to tie our wrists or something?”
“Cuffs are in the trunk. I’ll go get ‘em.”
She went back and retrieved them. Then she returned. She looked at me, and I looked at her.
“Now what?” I asked.
“Naked?” It was more of a question than a suggestion.
I liked her body. So I figured seeing her naked would calm me a little more. “Sure, honey; why not?”
We both got out of our clothes. Bonnie took them and carried them to the trunk of the car. She tossed them inside before slamming the trunk shut. I just laughed.
What? Was she afraid someone would come by and steal them if they were left lying around? Was she afraid an animal might make off with them? We certainly weren’t going to need them anymore.
“You’ll do this with me, Bo?” She seemed concerned I might back out on her.
“Sure I will, Bonnie.” If she was gone, what did I have to go back to? Certainly, not that mess that was waiting for us. The world had gone crazy.
We both climbed up onto the hood of my car. I winced as it gave again. Damn. I was going to miss that car!
Bonnie hesitated as she stared at the coil in her hand. So I took my noose and looped it around my throat first. I wanted to be an encouragement to her.
She smiled as she looped hers around her throat. Then she gave me a set of cuffs. I hesitated as I accepted them.
We could still back out at this point. But once we were cuffed, it would be nearly impossible to undo everything. Was she really sure about all this?
“Changing your mind, Bo?”
In response, I clatched a cuff to my wrist behind my back. I put my other arm behind me. One more clatch, and it was official. I was not getting free unless she helped me.
She smiled nervously as she panted for breath. My cock was starting to harden. Was I becoming aroused by her nudity? Was it the noose? Or was it from our impending deaths?
She saw how hard I was getting and smiled. “You too, Bo? I… I’m wet.”
Now that I was bound, it was as though I wanted to get on with it. Waiting was torture. So I nodded at what was in her hand… “The cuffs?”
She hesitantly touched herself. Seeing her do that aroused me even more. “Bonnie? What are you…?
“I… I may never… “
“Never what, Bonnie?”
She looked at my growing erection. Then she really touched herself. Now it looked as though her slit was dripping. It made my cock stiffen even more.
“I was thinking… Bo, can we… can we get… closer?”
We shifted upon my hood until she grabbed my erection. She tried to work it inside her. It would have been amusing if our situation wasn’t so critical.
“Bonnie?” I didn’t know whether to be frightened or amused.
“I don’t know. This is crazy, but… I’ll… I’ll never get to cum again.”
“Help get me down, and we can do it proper.”
Bonnie suddenly jerked as she looked all around. I also looked around. I thought I’d heard it too.
“They’re coming for us, Bo. I’m scared! We… we have to do it now!”
I didn’t see anyone. But I was becoming more frightened by the minute. Perhaps she was right after all.
She shifted her position on the hood. I was just about inside her when we both slipped. That’s when we swung away from my car, our nooses holding us in mid-air as we swung back and forth.
It hurt like hell. But my cock really stiffened and bounced. It actually felt as though I might have one last release while I was hanging.
Bonnie reached up for the noose with one hand. Had she changed her mind? I couldn’t be sure, because she soon began to touch herself with the other.
We kicked as we swung back and forth. For a brief moment, our legs intertwined. Then we lost each other.
We swung back and forth as Bonnie tried to loosen her rope. At the same time, she kept touching her crotch. I saw more fluid come out of her slit.
She suddenly went stiff as she started to hump the air. Her arms hung stiff at her sides. Instinctively, I thrust in her direction.
A sudden gush of fluid came out of her pussy. It was as though she’d just experienced one of our more erotic moments from the past. That time, she’d cum really hard, soaking the bed.
To my surprise, I began spurting. It arced toward Bonnie, some of it splattering onto her legs. She just rasped and humped the air in my direction.
At that moment, that uncomfortable feeling intensified. Was it because of evil in the world? Or was it because we were taking the easy way out?
Bonnie went into seizures as she wriggled and shimmied in her noose. My cock stayed hard as I finally settled down. The last I saw of Bonnie was her dripping slit and erect nipples before my vision failed me.
Our trees gently creaked from the weight of two individuals, anxious to escape what had become a crazy place to live. But I had judged correctly. The branches did not give way.
It would be a couple of years before anybody found what was left of us…
