Statue of Beauty

  Are you awake my love?" Nichole asked in a near whisper.

 "Yes," came the sleep filled reply of Anna.

 Anna leaned upward and kissed her long-time lover lightly on the lips. She looked at the clock, but her eyes wouldn't yet focus. She asked, "What time is it, Nicole?"

  She picked up the clock from the floor where it had gotten knocked off sometime during the night. Their lovemaking had been especially torrid that night. Nicole turned the clock to see its face and gasped, "Its ten past nine."

With her sleepiness forgotten, Anna jumped from the bed and screamed, " Oh my god, I'm going to be late."

  . The tall brunette watched her petite, blonde-haired lover rush and disappear into the bathroom. The shower came on as Nicole laid back across the bed. Never before had she loved someone as much as Anna.  Before Anna, Nicole''s life had been nothing but work and bad men. This twenty-five year old sassy blonde had reawakened her life.

Anna burst from the bathroom, her long blonde hair in a tangle of wetness.  She grabbed the blow dryer from the dresser and thrust it at Nicole and said, "Dry my hair while I dress."

 This ritual had happened most mornings  because Anna was often late for some appointment, but this morning the rush was more sincere. Since discovering the lump in her breast two days ago, they both had waited nervously for the results. Nicole wanted to be with her younger lover to hear the results, but Anna wanted to be strong and do this alone.

For forty-three years Nicole had worried this very thing may happen to her, but now it was happening to someone she cherished more than herself. Deep in her mind she knew no matter what Anna’s results, she would be with her forever. There was no way she was going to lose the only love she ever had.

 The long blonde hair of Anna began to dry from the onrush of the dryer’s hot air. It fell in long, almost girl like, wisps of blond strands. Nicole absentmindedly ran her fingers through the strands of fine hair while watching and listening to Anna talk about what the two of them would do that evening. She always had something exciting and fun planned for the two of them . In Anna''s mind this day would be no different, but Nicole felt differently.

At last, Anna was ready to leave. Nicole walked her lover to the door, kissed her, and asked, "Sure you don''t want me to go with you?"

"No, besides, I want to pick up your birthday present after the doctor's appointment."

Anna rushed out the door leaving Nicole standing there lost and for the first time in two years, alone.

  She shook away the dread, walked to the window, and pulled the curtains to the side. The red corvette roared from the drive while her lover’s blonde hair flew wildly in the wind from the convertible.  Nicole walked to the bed and looked at the rumpled sheets and thought of the passion they had shared in the bed the night before. For the first time in as long as she could remember, Nicole didn’t feel like working. She needed something to take her mind off her lover.

  The florescent lights flickered on in the basement lab. Seeing the dust made Nicole realized it had been too long since she was there. She walked around looked at the dust-covered vials and the blank monitors of the computers. Her thoughts went back to when work was more important than anything. Many great discoveries lay hidden in the lab.

The rest of the day was spent cleaning the lab. The entire time she waited to hear the phone ring or the front door open, or any indication that Anna had returned home. Nicole worked until noon and then stopped to rest at the desk that had once seemed so familiar. Now her old friend and ally, the desk, had become a stranger. On the desk were notes from work long past. Nicole took them in her tired, but nervous fingers, and began to read. As she read, shock came to her face and she said aloud, "How could I have forgotten this work? It was so important. I must continue it once Anna is well."

Lost in time and forgotten work, darkness fell before reality returned. The front door opened and Nicole jumped at the sound. She rushed up the stairs to see Anna walking in. Right away she knew something was wrong. A frown and tears had replaced the smile that never left the girl's face.

Nicole took her lover into her arms and asked almost too loudly, "What's wrong, my love?"

Tears flowed freely at Nicole''s touch and she screamed, "It can't be true. He has to be wrong."

"Tell me, my precious... tell me what he said."

Her blue eyes looked into Nicole's and the tears stopped for a second, and she said, "I'm dying... no chance to live, no long life with you." A flood of tears erupted as she ended.

For the next hour they held each other standing at the open doorway, Nicole''s heart was being ripped to shreds. The only thing that kept her from crying was the need to give her lover strength.

  That evening they ate, showered together, and made passionate love. Any moment spent not making love was spent crying and holding each other. After the passion had waned, they laid in the bed holding each other. They both knew there wouldn't be many more of these moments. Who knew how long it would be before the last touch would come.

Out of nowhere Anna whispered, "You're a great scientist, is there no way you can help me? I want to be with you forever."

For the first time Anna saw Nicole cry. Having been awarded a Pulitzer in biomedicine, she knew there was no way to save her lover. This time it was Anna's time to console her lover. They held each other tight, never wanting to let the other go.

Tears had soaked the pillow they shared when Nicole remembered the notes of her forgotten work. She kissed Anna on the nose and asked, "What if there was a way?"

  Anna looked at her curiously and asked, "What do you mean?"

  "To be together forever."

With a look of curiosity, Anna sat up in the bed and asked, "What are you talking about?"

  Nicole sat up, put her arm around Anna, and said, "Today, while you were gone I was in my lab. There I was reminded of some work I had been doing.  At one time I wanted to make some of the greatest minds last forever, so I found a way of preserving that mind. Where it could continue to think learn, have feelings and communicate."

Anna looked astonished and with hopeful excitement asked, " I could live and be with you forever?"

  Sadly, Nicole replied, "In some ways yes, but not as you live now."

  "Could you do this for me?" Anna asked.

Nicole lowered her eyes and replied, "Yes, but I have to tell you that a lot of pain is involved and I'm not sure I could stand seeing you in pain."

 Her hand went to her lover's face and touched it with only the fingertips. She said, "I'll be in pain no matter our choices."

  That day they spent hours talking about the experiment. In the end, they decided it would have to be done soon since they both wanted Anna''s beauty to remain intact. The doctor had said the end would come quickly and the toll on her youth would be devastating. The decision was made to do it the next month.

 The decided day came and they went to the basement lab. The disease was progressing even quicker than the doctor had projected. Anna knew that she could be making a disastrous mistake, but she didn’t want to die, and at least she could see her lover, happy.

  Nicole said as Anna laid down on the table, “I think this process can be reversed, but there are no guarantees.”

  “I know this is the only chance I have at life. Please save me,” said the younger girl.

  Nicole inserted a catheter in the girl’s arm. She then connected the IV. She said, “This is going to hurt like hell. If you ask me to stop when the fluid is more than half finished, I won’t stop, that would kill you agonizingly slow. It hurts me to see you go through this, it would hurt me even more to see you go through that kind of death.”

 The old smile returned to Anna’s face and she said, “I understand, please do this. This is torment knowing I will be apart from you.”

 They kissed and for the last time that Anna would be to able return her lover’s kiss. The IV was started as they kissed. The girl screamed immediately. The fluid felt like liquid fire as it rapidly filled the girl’s veins, and then arteries. She screamed, “Oh Gawd it hurts, make it stop.”

  Nicole had reached for the tube clamp on the IV when Anna’s hand closed on hers and she said through the pain, “No, don’t stop it no matter how much I beg. I have to go through with this.”

  It took an hour for the IV to complete. Anna screamed, as Nicole wept, for most of that hour. When the last drop disappeared inside her lover, she removed the tube and checked for a heartbeat, there was none. The fluid had combined with her blood to create a life sustaining suspended animation fluid. The only difference was that her lover was fully aware. She had wanted the drug to work this way so that creative minds could still function and evolve. She had never intended to use it for purposes such as this.

  That night she looked at her still and lifeless lover lying beside her. She had used her pull as a doctor to convince Anna’s physician she was in a comma and it was best if she took control over her care. The document Anna had earlier signed assisted in that decision.

That night she kissed and made love to her silent lover. She often moved the limp limbs into the positions they had been in while making love before this had happened. Nicole knew she had to take advantage of this night. After this night her limbs would become rigid and she had to be sure to have Anna in the position they had earlier discussed.

When the sun rose. Nicole knew it was time. She carried her lover to the large doll stand she had bought for this purpose. She stood Anna’s, already stiffening, body into the stand and strapped her to it.

A tear rolled down her cheek as she watched her lover turn into a living mannequin. She only hoped that she wouldn’t hate her for what she had done to her, or be tormented by it.

Anna awakened after the night of making love. She hadn't felt anything her lover had done to her, yet she had enjoyed it. Something in her mind had awakened, triggering a fantasy. She, somehow, mentally orgasmed as her lover made love to her.

The girl stood on the stand unable to move her eyes. She could see the familiar room and each area in it held some special memory. That day she watched her lover go about her daily routines, such as cleaning and vacuuming the carpet. Anna thought, “She had better move me so she can vacuum under me.”

So many things had been planned out before giving Anna the drug. They knew she needed a lot of mental stimulation or else she might go mad. The best way to do that was to give her lots of visual stimulation.

Nicole opened a lingerie shop and Anna would be her mannequin. She dressed her lover’s perfect, petite body in a thin revealing negligee and set her in the window. That would allow Anna to see people as they walked by the store.

Anna was at first embarrassed to be dressed in such a way in public, but that had been part of the plan. Eventually, she came to love watching the men and boys as they would stop and stare at her almost nude body. She learned to read lips and saw that they would often say, “She looks so real. She looks almost alive.”

Sometimes the men would come in the store on the pretense they were looking for a gift. While in fact, they were there to sneak touches of Anna. She often wished she could feel those touches, but she couldn’t… and may never.

At closing time Nicole would kiss her goodnight. Anna pretended she was kissing her lover as she had done in her normal life. The nights were the worst for her. Few people walked down the street and several times she saw the neighboring stores being broken into. She feared that she might someday be stolen. It was as if Nicole had read her mind and installed an elaborate security system and was in the process of remodeling the room above the shop as an apartment.

A year passed and Anna was content with what had happened to her. She had resolved her fate and knew it was better than death. Nicole had done a good job of giving the human mannequin the attention she needed. This existence was better than death and she always had hope for a future. Her lover often talked to her and by reading her lips she remained tuned into the real world.

One day this beautiful woman with long black hair entered the shop. Anna admired the woman’s body. Nicole had put a mirror in the display window so that Anna could see the shop behind her.

This woman began to come to the shop several times a week and she and Nicole would talk animatedly. At first, Anna was happy for this woman’s visits. Only then did she see the old, familiar smile on her friend. She was glad to see Nicole happy.

One day the woman entered the shop, and after talking a few minutes, she kissed Nicole. This hurt Anna deeply. She cried inside the prison her body had become. The weeks to come proved that the two had become lovers. It took some time, but Anna was eventually happy for Nicole.

Something strange happened one day. The raven-haired woman came to the store carrying a mannequin. This hurt Anna more than her former lover falling in love with another woman. On closer look she saw that she had been wrong, it was another human mannequin just like herself.

It took a week before she was able to see them talking enough to know from where the other girl mannequin had come . Girls were now paying to become what Anna had been forced by circumstances to become. She was amazed that girls would seek out such an existence, yet it was obviously true.

In the months to come, the shop began to fill with more girl mannequins. She at least had company at night, even though they could never communicate. Anna smiled inwardly at the fact that she was still the prominent mannequin in the store. She always got the best lingerie.

One night she saw Nicole remove one of the mannequin’s clothes. She then injected the pussy of the girl mannequin with some kind of substance. A moment later she saw as her former lover placed a finger in the woman. The pussy was now pliable as if normal. She then injected the mannequin’s breasts and they became alive once more.

Things began to change in the shop after that. Men would come to the shop and they would select one of the girl Mannequins. Nicole would then inject the pussy and breasts of of the one selected. The man would then begin to make love to the girl Mannequin. Anna could see that the girl mannequin enjoyed it as much as the men. The men seemed to get off on the fact that the woman seemed doll-like and the girls like the aspect of being used like a doll.

Anna later learned that the girls had given themselves up for this purpose. They had fantasized about such an existence. She had to admit to herself that she like the idea and secretly wished one of the men would pick her. One night she learned that when a man had picked her, Nicole had denied them the use of her body. Anna wished for the same pleasure the other mannequins were getting.

One night when the store had closed and all the male customers had gone, Nicole went to Anna and laid her on the floor. She then injected her pussy and breast with the liquid. For the first time in nearly a year, the girl orgasmed as her lover licked and fucked her soaking pussy with a massive dildo.

From that night on, Anna looked forward to those few moments of pleasure. The feel of her lover had been the worst part of her life as a mannequin. Other than that, she was happy. Life was simple with none of the pressures of life, still she hoped for a cure so that one day she might once more hold Nicole  in her arms.

The end
