Emily's Escape, by ZeTz_Darke Subscribe to rss feed for ZeTz_Darke 

Flesh on flesh...
She closes her eyes.
Sun soaked, winding roads...
Fields stretched out for miles and miles. 
Sickening; 
Beer-soaked breath. 
Breath deeply; 
A memory of gas station 
coffee...
The country air prevails her to 
lay back...
Wheezing in her ears...
He's laughing,
A more loathful sound cannot be heard,
Cover her ears, 
The sound of pleasant conversation, 
Music spills out of the radio... 
Laughter mixes with the sound of classic Rock and Roll...
His despicable fingers find her...
But she is elsewhere, 
trapped in the memory of a summer day.

This reminds me of The Ceremony in a novel called 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood. Have a look if you're interested. The idea of the mental world being an escape from physical realities is very well presented here. Loving it.
